make or file any claim, charge, complaint, demand or lawsuit against any Releasee, and (b) if any federal, state or local governmental authority or court assumes jurisdiction of any claim, charge, complaint, demand or lawsuit against any
Releasee on my behalf, I will request that such governmental authority or court withdraw from the matter and I will refuse any and all benefits derived therefrom. I hereby irrevocably waive any right that I may have to bring any representative
action or to serve in any representative capacity in any class or collective action against any Releasee, such that any action by me or taken on my behalf may proceed, if at all, only as an individual action. 

7. No Unlawful Act or Omission; Investigations. I represent that (a) I have no knowledge of any unlawful act or omission by the

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Agreement or elsewhere, if you materially breach any covenant or fail to perform any

promptly return any and all Termination Benefits already received to the Company. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them elsewhere in the Agreement. 

1. Termination Allowance. The Company will pay to you $525,000 as your termination allowance under the Company’s severance
policy. The termination allowance payment will be made within three days after the Effective Date. 
 2. CNC Payment. Pursuant to
Section 6(g) of the CNC Agreement, the Company will pay to you $971,250 representing 185% of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date (the “CNC Payment”). Fifty percent of the
CNC Payment (i.e., $485,625) will be paid on September 30, 2020, and the remaining 50% of the CNC Payment will be made in six equal, consecutive, monthly installments, each in the amount of $80,937.50, commencing on October 30, 2020. 

3. Verso Incentive Plan. Pursuant to Section 6(f) of the CNC Agreement, the Company will pay to you a prorated portion of the
annual incentive award, if any, that may be payable to you under the 2020 Verso Incentive Plan (the “2020 VIP”). The 2020 VIP payment, if any, will be based on the Company’s actual level of achievement of its performance
objectives under the 2020 VIP and the assumption that you achieved 100% of your group/individual performance objectives under the 2020 VIP, and will be prorated on a daily basis to reflect the number of days that you were employed by the Company in
2020. The 2020 VIP payment, if any, will be made in 2021 in accordance with the provisions of the 2020 VIP. In addition, on March 31, 2020, the Company will pay to you the remaining amount payable to you under the 2019 Verso Incentive Plan, in
the amount of $15,750. 
 4. Discretionary Annual Contribution Program. Not later than April 30, 2020, the Company will make an

you elected. 
 7. Equity Awards. 43,357 time-based restricted stock units shall become vested as of the Termination Date and be
settled within 10 days after you execute the Waiver and do not revoke it within the time-period for revocation set forth therein. 18,557 performance-

 
based restricted stock units shall remain outstanding and will not vest unless and until the applicable date as of which the conditions to their vesting set forth in the applicable award
agreement are met, provided that the condition that you be employed by the Company at the time of vesting shall not apply. 
 8. Medical
and Dental Insurance. The Company will provide fully subsidized continuation of your current benefit election for 6 months, beginning the 1st day of the month following termination date (“Initial Continued Coverage”).
Thereafter, you have the right to continue the group medical and dental insurance coverage provided by the Company for you and your eligible dependents pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
(“COBRA”), provided that you elect such continued coverage in accordance with COBRA, during the two-year period (the “COBRA Period”) beginning on the first day of the month
immediately following the termination of the 6 months of your fully subsidized coverage. If, and to the extent that, you elect to receive continued medical and dental insurance coverage in accordance with COBRA, the cost of the continued coverage
during the subsequent 18 months of the COBRA Period (the “Subsequent Continued Coverage”) will be split between you and the Company, with you paying the standard, active- employee portion of the cost in effect immediately prior to
the Termination Date and the Company paying the balance of the cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 
 (a) The Company’s obligation to
pay the cost of the Initial Continued Coverage or its portion of the Subsequent Continued Coverage will terminate effective as of the last day of the month in which you first become eligible for comparable coverage from another employer, as
reasonably determined by the Company. 
 (b) If the Initial Continued Coverage would result in penalties under Section 4980D of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may provide that (1) you will pay to the Company, on an after-tax basis, a monthly amount equal to the full
premium cost of the Initial Continued Coverage (determined in accordance with the methodology under COBRA) for such month, and (2) within 30 days after such premium payment, the Company will reimburse you in cash (less required withholding) an
amount equal to the sum of (A) the excess of (i) the full premium cost of the Initial Continued Coverage for such month over (ii) any premium amount that would have been payable by you if you had been actively employed by the Company
for such month and (B) an additional tax gross-up payment to cover all estimated applicable federal, state and local income and payroll taxes imposed on you with respect to the Initial Continued Coverage.

 9. Basic Life Insurance. The Company will (A) continue to provide current coverage under Basic Life Insurance for 2 years,
beginning the 1st of the month following the termination date and (B) if federal, state and/or local income and payroll taxes imposed on you with respect to such continued coverage, provide an additional tax
gross-up payment to cover all such estimated taxes. This coverage will be equivalent to one time(s) your base salary at time of termination. Thereafter, you have the right to convert the group basic life
insurance coverage on your life provided by the Company to an individual life insurance policy with a guaranteed premium rate. The coverage will be provided by Legal and General American Banner Life Insurance Company. We will provide you with the
contact information for the agent responsible for getting your coverage started.

                                         dates, if any, on which and the price or prices at which the Securities of the Series
                                         will be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holders thereof and other detailed

                                         other than minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
                                         thereof, the denominations in which the Securities of the Series shall be issuable;

 

		(k)	the
                                         forms of the Securities of the Series in fully registered form (and whether the Securities
                                         will be issuable as Global Securities);

		(n)	any
                                         addition to or change in the Events of Default which applies to any Securities of the
                                         Series and any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities

		(q)	any
                                         depositories, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other
                                         agents with respect to Securities of such Series if other than those appointed herein.

 

All
Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms
of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate
referred to above, and the authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional
Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.

 

Section
2.3     Execution and Authentication.

 

Two
Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual, facsimile signature or electronic signature. Unless otherwise provided
herein or in any other Securities, the words “execute”, “execution”, “signed”, and “signature”
and words of similar import used in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture, any other Securities
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including amendments, waivers, consents and other modifications) shall be deemed
to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as applicable,
to the fullest extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, and any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee is not under any obligation
to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Trustee pursuant to procedures
approved by such Trustee.

 

If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security
shall nevertheless be valid.

 

A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. Such a signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided
in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company
Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company
or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate.

 

The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal
amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.

 

Prior
to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of
the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities
within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with
Section 10.4.

 

    - 7 - 

     

    

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such
action would expose the Trustee to personal liability.

 

The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company.

 

Section
2.4      Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the Place of Payment specified with respect to such
Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such
Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Registrar”) and where notices and demands (other
than service of process) to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (the
 “Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their
transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the
name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such
required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands (other than any service
of process).

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so
specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional
paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent.

 

The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar,
Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

 

Section
2.5      Paying Agent to Hold Money in
Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders
of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While
any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at
any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders
of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section
2.6       Securityholder Lists. The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at such times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of
Securities; provided that no such list need be furnished by the Company to the Trustee so long as the Trustee is acting as Registrar.
The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 2.6 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

 

Section
2.7        Transfer and Exchange. Where
Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange
if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except
as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable
upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).

 

Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for
the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities
of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (b) to register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed
of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part, or (c) to register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any Series between a record date and the relevant payment date.

 

Section
2.8        Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new
Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (b) such security or satisfactory indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of
either of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

 

Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

Every
new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.

 

    - 9 - 

     

    

The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 

Section
2.9        Outstanding Securities. The
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance
with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of
Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities
of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue (to the extent of the Maturity of such Security if
less than the entire principal amount is due and payable on such date of Maturity).

 

A
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding
for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination
upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

Section
2.10      Treasury Securities. In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver,
only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

 

Section
2.11       Temporary
Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee upon written request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and Stated Maturity in
exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as
the definitive Securities.

 

Section
2.12       Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities
and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the
Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all
Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and
until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities
and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company by
Company Order may direct the Trustee to deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company.

Section
2.13       Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a
Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the
record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder
of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay
defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

 

Section
2.14        Global Securities.

 

		(a)	Terms
                                         of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
                                         Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole
                                         or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global
                                         Security or Securities.

 

		(b)	Transfer
                                         and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section
                                         2.7 and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section
                                         2.7 for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such
                                         Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling
                                         or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository
                                         ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case,
                                         the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency under
                                         the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers
                                         to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security
                                         shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
                                         represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global
                                         Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable
                                         for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in
                                         an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with
                                         like tenor and terms.

 

Except
as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect
to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee
of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

 

		(c)	Legend.
                                         Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following
                                         form:

 

    - 11 - 

     

    

 

“This
Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the
Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other
than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee
of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor
Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.”

 

		(d)	Acts
                                         of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize
                                         participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
                                         waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.

 

		(e)	Payments.
                                         Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as
                                         contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any

                                         Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of
                                         outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified
                                         in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes
                                         of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by
                                         the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

 

Section
2.15       CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities
may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to
redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms
as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior
to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall
give the notice at least 45 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

 

Section
3.2         Selection of Securities to be
Redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’
Certificate, if less than all the Securities of any Series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee, from
the Outstanding Securities of such Series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, and, in the case of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures
of the Depository; provided that such method complies with the rules of any national securities exchange or quotation system
on which the Securities are listed (and the Company shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), and may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that Series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such Series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of that Series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the
principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such Series.

 

    - 12 - 

     

    

 

The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities
shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such
Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security to be redeemed is a Global Security then any partial redemption of that Series of Securities will
be made in accordance with the Depository’s applicable procedures among all Holders of such Series of Securities.

 

Section
3.3        Notice of Redemption. Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class
mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.

 

The notice shall identify the Securities
of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

		(a)	the

		(c)	the
                                         name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

		(d)	that
                                         Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
                                         to collect the redemption price;

 

		(e)	that
                                         interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
                                         the redemption date;

 

		(f)	the
                                         CUSIP number, if any;

 

		(g)	any
                                         conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to the redemption; and

 

		(h)	any
                                         other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities
                                         of a Series being redeemed.

 

At
the Company’s written request given at least five Business Days prior to the date such notice is given to Holders, the Trustee
shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.

 

Section
3.4       Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become
due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price, subject to, with respect to any redemption that is conditioned
upon the satisfaction of any conditions precedent, (i) the delay of such redemption date until such time as any or all of such
conditions precedent have been satisfied or (ii) the revocation of such redemption if the Company determines that such conditions
precedent will not be satisfied. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus
accrued interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities (or one or more predecessor Securities)
registered at the close of business on the relevant record date therefor according to their terms and the terms of this Indenture.

 

    - 13 - 

     

    

 

Section
3.5       Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price
of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

 

Section
3.6      Securities Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same
Series and the same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

                                         the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect

Section
6.2          Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. Except to the extent provided otherwise in the
establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate for such Series, if an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred
to in Section 6.1(e) or 6.1(f)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25.0% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing
to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or portion thereof)
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.1(e) or 6.1(f) shall occur, the principal amount (or portion thereof) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding
Securities shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder.

 

At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the
non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

 

No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section
6.3          Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

 

		(a)	default
                                         is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due
                                         and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

 

		(b)	default
                                         is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

 

		(c)	default
                                         is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a
                                         Security, 

 

then,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then
due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

    - 17 - 

     

    

 

If
the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment
or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys
adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such
Securities, wherever situated.

 

If
an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

 

Section
6.4          Trustee may File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition
or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor
upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether
the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) to collect and receive
any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.

 

Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section
6.5          Trustee may Enforce Claims Without
Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced
by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and
any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery
of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment
has been recovered.

 

Section
6.6          Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

    - 18 - 

     

    

 

First:
To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and

 

Second:
To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

 

Third:
To the Company.

 

Section
6.7          Limitation on Suits. No Holder
of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

                                         Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default
                                         with respect to the Securities of that Series;

 

		(b)	the
                                         Holders of not less than 25.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that
                                         Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect
                                         of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

		(c)	such
                                         Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it
                                         against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

 

		(d)	the
                                         Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
                                         or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

 

		(e)	no
                                         direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
                                         such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
                                         Securities of that Series;

 

it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or
by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

 

Section
6.8          Unconditional Right of Holders
to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall
have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security
on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

 

Section
6.9         Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and
in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section
6.10       Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of
any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section
6.11       Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy
given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section
6.12       Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such Series; provided that:

 

		(a)	the
                                         Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee,
                                         being advised by counsel, determines that such direction shall be in conflict with any
                                         rule of law or with this Indenture;

 

		(b)	the
                                         Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
                                         with such direction; and

 

		(c)	the
                                         Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in
                                         good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding
                                         so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is
                                         not adequately indemnified, or is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder
                                         (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
                                         whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

 

Section
6.13       Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default (a) in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or (b) in respect
of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security
of such Series affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section
6.14       Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted
by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

VII

TRUSTEE

 

Section
7.1          Duties of Trustee.

 

		(a)	The
                                         Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
                                         and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
                                         to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture.
                                         If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the
                                         rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
                                         skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
                                         in the conduct of their own affairs.

 

		(b)	Except
                                         during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

		i.	The
                                         Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture
                                         and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
                                         against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
                                         to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.
                                         The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance
                                         of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture. The permissive right
                                         of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed
                                         as an obligation or duty to do so.

 

		ii.	The
                                         Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
                                         of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
                                         furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however,
                                         in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by
                                         any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
                                         shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine
                                         whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

 

		(c)	The
                                         Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
                                         failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

		i.	This
                                         paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

 

		ii.	The
                                         Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
                                         Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
                                         facts.

 

    - 21 - 

     

    

 

		iii.	The
                                         Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to
                                         be taken by it with respect to Securities of any Series in good faith in accordance with
                                         the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
                                         of such Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
                                         any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
                                         the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series.

 

		(d)	Every
                                         provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
                                         (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section.

 

		(e)	The
                                         Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power at the request
                                         or direction of any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder
                                         or Holders shall have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or
                                         indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion against any
                                         costs, losses, liabilities and expenses which might be incurred by it in compliance with
                                         such request or direction.

 

		(f)	The
                                         Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee
                                         may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
                                         segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

		(g)	No
                                         provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise
                                         incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise
                                         of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
                                         repayment of such funds or satisfactory indemnity against such risk is not assured to
                                         it.

 

		(h)	The
                                         Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections,
                                         immunities and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section
                                         with respect to the Trustee.

 

Section
7.2          Rights of Trustee.

 

		(a)	The
                                         Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
                                         resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
                                         consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness
                                         or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
                                         by the proper person, not only as to due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also
                                         as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein. The Trustee need not
                                         investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

		(b)	Before
                                         the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate,
                                         an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes
                                         or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate and/or
                                         Opinion of Counsel.

 

		(c)	The
                                         Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
                                         of any agent appointed with due care. No Depository shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee
                                         and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depository.

		(d)	The
                                         Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which
                                         it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s
                                         conduct does not constitute negligence or willful misconduct.

 

		(e)	The
                                         Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
                                         it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities
                                         unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory
                                         to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
                                         with such request or direction.

 

		(f)	The
                                         Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any
                                         Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
                                         of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without negligence and in good
                                         faith and in reliance thereon.

 

		(g)	The
                                         Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall not be bound to make any investigation into
                                         the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
                                         report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence
                                         of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
                                         such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

 

		(h)	The
                                         Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless
                                         a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
                                         has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such
                                         a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
                                         such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series
                                         and this Indenture.

Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such
Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any

Section
7.6        Reports by Trustee to Holders.
Within 60 days after April 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses

or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers hereunder

other than a claim brought by the Company, (i) the Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity, (ii) the Company may at its option defend the claim, in which event the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense and

		(d)	the
                                         Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                                         by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of execution of this
                                         Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either
                                         case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
                                         the Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss
                                         for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge
                                         and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner

		v.	the
                                         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that
                                         the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of
                                         the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent
                                         of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

 

		vi.	the
                                         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion

this Section 8.4 is otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2(p) to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after
the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof, the Company may omit to comply with respect
to the Securities of any Series with any term, provision or condition set forth under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, and 5.1 as
well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or
an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(p) (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not
constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified
in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 2.2(n) and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect
to the Securities of such Series; provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

 

		(a)	With
                                         reference to this Section 8.4, the Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably
                                         deposited (except as provided in Section 8.2(c)) with the Trustee as trust funds in trust
                                         for the purpose of making the following payments specifically pledged as security for,
                                         and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in Dollars
                                         and/or U.S. Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal
                                         in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment
                                         and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than one day
                                         before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion
                                         of a regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed
                                         in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each
                                         installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments
                                         in respect of the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest
                                         or principal and such sinking fund payments are due;

 

		(b)	Such
                                         deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
                                         Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
                                         which it is bound;

 

		(c)	No
                                         Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have
                                         occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on
                                         the 90th day after such date;

		(d)	The
                                         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
                                         Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
                                         federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will
                                         be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
                                         times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;
                                         and

 

		(e)	The
                                         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
                                         of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
                                         the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

 

Section
8.5        Repayment to Company. The
Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest
that remains unclaimed for six months. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

Section
9.2         With Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by written notice to the Trustee (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company
with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series.

 

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a
supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

Section
9.3         Limitations. Without the
consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

 

		(a)	reduce
                                         the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

		(b)	reduce
                                         the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on
                                         any Security;

 

    - 31 - 

     

    

 

		(c)	reduce
                                         the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of,
                                         or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;

 

		(d)	reduce
                                         the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity
                                         thereof;

 

		(e)	waive
                                         a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any,
                                         on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series
                                         by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
                                         of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
                                         

 

		(f)	make
                                         the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than
                                         that stated in the Security;

 

		(g)	make
                                         any change in Section 6.8, 6.13, or 9.3 (this sentence); or

 

		(h)	waive
                                         a redemption payment with respect to any Security.

 

Section
9.4         Compliance with Trust Indenture
Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture
hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section
9.5        Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security
is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice
of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

 

Any
amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless
it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall
bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

 

Section
9.6        Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated.
The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities
of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 

Section
9.7        Trustee Protected. In executing,
or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent have been
satisfied, the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental
indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely
affects it.

Article
XI

SINKING FUNDS

 

Section
11.1            Applicability of Article. The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted
or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

 

The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as
a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is
herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.

Section
11.2            Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities. The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (a) deliver outstanding Securities of such
Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory
sinking fund redemption) and (b) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable
and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’
Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of
selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2,
the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less
than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order
that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next
succeeding sinking fund payment; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to
time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or
such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an
unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

 

Section
11.3            Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less
than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect
of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that
Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section
11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the
Company in the manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be
made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
