Securities of the Series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2; 

(13) the currency of denomination of the Securities of the Series, which may be Dollars or any Foreign Currency, including, but not limited to,
the Euro, and, if such currency of denomination is a composite currency other than the Euro, the agency or organization, if any, responsible for overseeing such composite currency; 

(14) the designation of the currency, currencies or currency units in which payment of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on,

 (15) if payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Securities of
the Series are to be made in one or more currencies or currency units other than that or those in which such Securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to such payments will be determined; 

(16) the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on, the Securities of the Series will be

 (24) any other terms of the Securities of the Series (which
terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 8.1, but which may modify or delete any provision of this Indenture insofar as it applies to such Series). 

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 or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, however, 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. 

2.3. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION. 
 The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two Officers of the Company or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Each such signature may be either manual or facsimile. The Company’s seal may be impressed, affixed,
imprinted or reproduced on the Securities and may be in facsimile form. 
 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. The 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. 

  
 6 

 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 7.1)
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. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of any Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
in writing by outside counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall
reasonably determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability, or cause it to have a conflict of interest with respect to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

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. Any appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. 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. 

2.4. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any Series of Securities (i) an office or agency where such Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (ii) an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) (PROVIDED that the Company shall at all times maintain a
Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York (the “New York Paying Agent”), and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register for the Securities maintained by the Registrar), and (iii) an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture
may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office, or to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee as set forth in Section 10.2. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it
for the payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Securities and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or any other Agent
without notice to any Securityholder. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, 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 obligation to
maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Company. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of such designation or rescission, and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for service of notices
and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. 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. The Company designates , as the New York Paying Agent, with offices at .

 2.5. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD ASSETS IN TRUST. 

The Trustee as Paying Agent shall, and the Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying
Agent shall, hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Securities or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Series of Securities
(whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on such Series of Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on
such Series of Securities) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed, and the Trustee may, at any time during the
continuance of any payment default with respect to any Series of Securities, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon
distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets. 

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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee as of each regular record date for the payment of interest on the Securities of a Series and before each related Interest Payment Date, and at such other 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. 

2.7. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 
 When
Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of applicable law are met, and when such Securities of a
Series are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of other authorized denominations of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested. To permit transfers and
exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. 

If Securities are issued as Global Securities, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply. 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar or
a co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or a co-registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that
the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.11, 3.6 or 8.5. The Trustee shall not be required to register transfers of Securities of any Series, or to exchange Securities of any Series, for a period of 15 days before the record date for selection for redemption of such
Securities. The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register transfers of Securities of any Series called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Security being redeemed in part. 

2.8. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES. 
 If a
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Security presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company or the Trustee that is
sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for
the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security, including the fees and expenses of the Trustee. Every replacement Security shall constitute an
original additional 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. 

  
 8 

 2.9. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. 

Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8
(other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Security
ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.8. 
 If a Paying Agent holds on
a Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, Securities payable on that date, and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture (PROVIDED, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made), then on and after that date such
Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding solely because the
Company or an Affiliate holds the Security. 
 2.10. WHEN TREASURY SECURITIES DISREGARDED; DETERMINATION OF HOLDERS’ ACTION. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, the Securities of any Series owned by the Company or any other obligor on such Securities, or by any Affiliate of any of them, shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of such Series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities of such Series so owned which have been pledged in
good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities of such Series and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on
the Securities of such Series, or an Affiliate of any of them. 
 2.11. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities without charge to the Holder. 

2.12. CANCELLATION. 
 All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption or 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 for cancellation. 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. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or
payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel, and at the written request of the Company shall dispose of, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or
cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, 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 pursuant to this Section 2.12. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.12, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. 

2.13. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST; COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.2 with respect to any Series of Securities, interest on any Security which
is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, as provided in the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such Series. 

  
 9 

 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the
defaulted amounts, plus any interest payable on defaulted amounts pursuant to Section 4.1, to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company
for the payment of defaulted interest, or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Securityholder, with a copy to
the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series, interest on the Securities of each
Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2.14. CUSIP NUMBER. 
 The Company in
issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and, if the Company does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, PROVIDED, that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and
that any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of any such numbers. 
 2.15. PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL
SECURITIES. 
 (a) 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 Securities or Securities. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 and in addition thereto, if, and only if the Depository
(i) at any time is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and (ii) a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within
90 days after the date the Company is so informed in writing or becomes aware of the same, the Company promptly will execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of such definitive Securities (which the Company will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee) and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, will authenticate and
deliver definitive Securities, without charge, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall direct in writing (pursuant to instructions from its direct and indirect participants or otherwise) in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for definitive Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, as provided in this Section 2.15(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) Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

“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) 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 the Indenture. 

(e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the
principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, any Global Security shall be made to the Depository or its nominee in its capacity as the Holder thereof. 

(f) Except as provided in Section 2.15(e) above, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a Person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Securities of any Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository (which may be in the form of a participants’ list for such Series) 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, PROVIDED, that until the Trustee is so provided with a written statement, it may treat
the Depository or any other Person in whose name a Global Security is registered as the owner of such Global Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of, and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest on, such
Global Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 10 

 2.16. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any agent of the Company, the
Registrar or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of, and any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest on, such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

ARTICLE 3 – 

REDEMPTION 
 3.1. NOTICES TO
TRUSTEE. 
 The Company 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 or the related Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture or Officers’ Certificate. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company elects to redeem all or part of such Series of Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed at least 45 days (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before the Redemption Date. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder, and
shall thereby be void and of no effect. 
 3.2. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’
Certificate, if fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of a Series to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or by any other method that the Trustee considers fair and appropriate
(unless the Company specifically directs the Trustee otherwise) and, if such Securities are listed on any securities exchange, by a method that complies with the requirements of such exchange. 

The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of a Series outstanding and not previously called for redemption, and shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed at least 35 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date. Securities of a Series in denominations of $1,000 may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of a Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of a
Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2(10), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and
integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 

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, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause
to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar. The notice shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed and shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the redemption price, and that such redemption price shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date; 

(3) if any Security of a Series is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security of a Series to be
redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Security of a Series, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued; 

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

(5) that Securities of a Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, and the
place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for such payment; 

  
 11 

 (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on the
Securities of a Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the
Securities redeemed; 
 (7) if fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular
Securities of a Series (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities of a Series to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities of a Series to be outstanding after such
partial redemption. 
 (8) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 

(9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
Securities. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the
Company’s sole expense. 
 3.4. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 

Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.3 is mailed, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable
on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, plus interest, if any, accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Securities of a Series shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, that if the Redemption Date is after a regular interest payment record date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities
registered on the relevant record date, as specified by the Company in the notice to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 3.5. DEPOSIT OF
REDEMPTION PRICE. 
 On or prior to the Redemption Date (but no later than 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time on such 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 other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of, and accrued interest on, Securities called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the preceding paragraph and the Company and the Paying Agent are not prohibited from paying such moneys to Holders, the Securities
called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Securities will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the proviso in Section 3.4, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Securities to the Redemption Date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Security and any interest or
premium, if any, not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate and in the manner provided in the Securities. 
 3.6. SECURITIES
REDEEMED IN PART. 
 Upon surrender of a Security of a Series that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate, for a Holder a new Security of the same Series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 

ARTICLE 4 – 

COVENANTS 
 4.1. PAYMENT OF
SECURITIES. 
 The Company shall pay the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, each Series of Securities on the dates
and in the manner provided in such Securities and this Indenture. 
 An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the
date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay such installment and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or otherwise. 

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate specified in the Series of
Securities. 

  
 12 

 4.2. SEC REPORTS. 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after the filing of the same with the SEC, copies of the quarterly and annual
reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each such report or document will be
deemed to be so delivered to the Trustee if the Company files such report or document with the SEC through the SEC’s EDGAR database no later than the time such report or document is required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange
Act. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC, to the extent permitted, and provide the Trustee with, such quarterly
and annual reports and such information, documents and other reports specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company will also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 

4.3. WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise)
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension, usury or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, and/or interest and premium, if any, on,
the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company hereby expressly waives (to the extent that they may lawfully do
so) all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.

Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

 ARTICLE 6 – 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 6.1. EVENTS
OF DEFAULT. 
 “Events of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the
following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 

(1) there is a default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Securities when the same becomes due and payable at
Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; 
 (2) there is a default in the payment of any interest on any Security of a
Series when the same becomes due and payable, and the Default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (3) the Company defaults in the
observance or performance of any other covenant in the Securities of a Series or in this Indenture for 90 days after written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such Series then outstanding, which notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”; 

(4) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

(5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 

 

  
 14 

 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary,
or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; or 
 (C) orders the
liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days; or 

(6) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2(19). 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means
Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Trustee may withhold notice of any Default (except in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Securities)
to the Holders of the Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 7.5. When a Default is cured, it ceases to exist. 

6.2. ACCELERATION. 
 If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 6.1(4) or (5)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare that the entire principal amount of all the Securities of that Series then
outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration are immediately due and payable, in which case such amounts shall become immediately due and payable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or
decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if (i) all
existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived, (ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is
lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid and (iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(4) or (5) with respect to the Company occurs, such principal, premium, if any, and interest
amount with respect to all of the Securities of that Series shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of that Series. 

6.3. REMEDIES. 
 If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of, or interest and
premium, if any, on, the Securities of that Series, or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that Series or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of that Series or does not produce any of them in
the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No
remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 6.4. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS AND EVENTS
OF DEFAULT. 
 Subject to Sections 6.2, 6.7 and 8.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any
Series then outstanding have the right to waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series or compliance with any provision of this Indenture (with respect to such Series) or the Securities of such Series. Upon
any such waiver, such Default with respect to such Series shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to such Series 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. This Section 6.4 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly
excluded from this Indenture and Section as permitted by the TIA. 

  
 15 

 6.5. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. 

Subject to Sections 6.2, 6.7 and 8.2, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series then outstanding
may 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 by this Indenture with respect to such Series. The Trustee, however, may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; PROVIDED, that the Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. This Section 6.5 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture and Section as permitted by the TIA. 
 6.6. LIMITATION ON SUITS. 

Subject to Section 6.7, a Securityholder may not institute any proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities of a Series unless: 
 (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of that Series; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then
outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) the
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
 (5) 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 aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding.

 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder, or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Securityholder. 
 6.7. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of a Series to receive payment of the
principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Security of such Series on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security of such Series, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, is absolute and unconditional, and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 6.8. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

 If an Event of Default in payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) with
respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities of that
Series) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate then borne by the Securities of that Series, and such further amounts 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, as set forth in Section 7.7. 
 6.9. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents, and take other actions (including sitting on a committee of
creditors), 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 the Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property, and the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings, and
any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder 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 Securityholders, to pay to
the Trustee any amount due to 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. 

  
 16 

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

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7; 

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts then due and unpaid for the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, 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 any premium and interest, respectively;
and 
 THIRD: to the Company. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least
15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. 
 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of a Series then
outstanding. 
 ARTICLE 7 – 

TRUSTEE 
 7.1. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by

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

(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no covenants or obligations shall be
implied in this Indenture against the Trustee.

truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which
by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

 (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.5. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur any financial liability, in the performance of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  
 17 

 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and
(d) of this Section 7.1 shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee. 
 (f) The Trustee

protections, immunities and standard of care set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Section 7.1 and in Section 7.2 with respect to the Trustee.

 (a) Subject
to Section 7.1: 
 (1) The Trustee may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which

to be authorized or within its rights or powers. 
 (5) The Trustee may consult with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, which may
be counsel to the Company, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (6) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. 
 (7) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or
matter (including, without limitation, a Default or Event of Default) unless such fact or matter is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. 

(8) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Securities of a Series or the related Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not have any responsibility with respect to reports, notices, certificates or other documents filed with it hereunder, except to make them available for inspection, at reasonable times, by
Securityholders, it being understood that delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (except as set forth in Section 4.4). 

7.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities, and may make loans to, accept deposits from,
perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10
and 7.11. 
 7.4. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities (except that the Trustee represents that
it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder), and the Trustee shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Securities or
any money paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificates of authentication. 

  
 18 

 7.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. 

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of the Default or the Event of Default, as the case may be, 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 if such Default or Event of Default has been validly cured or waived before the giving of such notice). Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, or
interest or premium, if any, on, any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Board of Directors of the Trustee, the executive committee or any trust committee of such board and/or its Responsible Officers in
good faith determine(s) that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of that Series. 
 7.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO
HOLDERS. 
 If and to the extent required by the TIA, within 60 days after April 1 of each year, commencing the April 1
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such April 1 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and 313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and any stock exchange on which the Securities
of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof, and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d). 

7.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any provision of law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee within 45 days after receipt of request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements
and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and
all loss or liability incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. 

The failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not however relieve the Company of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its negligence or bad faith. To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such money or property held in trust to pay the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on particular
Securities of that Series. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

For purposes of this Section 7.7, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article 7. 

7.8. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. 
 The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company in writing at least 90 days in advance of such resignation. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that
Series by notifying the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to that Series with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee with
respect to that Series at its election if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with, or ceases to be eligible under, Section 7.10;

 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent, or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee, under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a Custodian or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

  
 19 

 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(5) If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee, with respect to any Series of Securities for
any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by Board Resolution, a successor Trustee. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more Series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of
a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the
Company. Immediately following such delivery, (i) the retiring Trustee with respect to one or more Series shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.7, transfer all property held by it as Trustee with respect to such Series to
the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee with respect to such Series shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. A successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder of such Series. 

7.9. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR CONVERSION. 

If the Trustee, or any Agent, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets
to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent, as the case may be. 

7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect.
The Trustee (or in the case of a Trustee that is a Person included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the provision in Section 310(b)(1). In addition, if the Trustee is a Person included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of
such bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(2). If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in this Article 7. 
 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. 

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 7.12. PAYING AGENTS. 

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 
 (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for
the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Securities or the Trustee;

 (2) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee
all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 
 (3) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three
Business Days after any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Securities) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Securities when the same shall be due and payable.

 ARTICLE 8 – 

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 

8.1. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. 

The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more
Series without notice to or consent of any Securityholder: 
 (1) to comply with Section 5.1; 

(2) to provide for certificated Securities in addition to uncertificated Securities; 

(3) to comply with any requirements of the SEC under the TIA; 

(4) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change herein or in the Securities that does not materially and
adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; 
 (5) to provide for the issuance of, and establish the form and terms and conditions of,
Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; or 
 (6) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series, and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than
one Trustee. 
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects
its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. 
 8.2. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. 

(a) The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more
Series with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series affected by such amendment or supplement without notice to any Securityholder. The
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by such amendment or supplement may waive compliance by the Company in a particular instance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Securities of such Series without notice to any Securityholder. Subject to Section 8.4, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not: 

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

(2) reduce the rate of, or change the time for payment of, interest on any Security; 

(3) 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; 
 (4) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security; 

(5) change the amount or time of any payment required by the Securities, or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption of the Securities,
or change the time before which no such redemption may be made; 
 (6) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal
of, or interest or premium, 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); 
 (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, or change any
of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities; 
 (8) make any changes in Section 6.6 or this Section 8.2,
except to increase any percentage of Securities the Holders of which must consent to any matter; or 
 (9) take any other action otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture to be taken without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Company,
accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Securityholders as aforesaid and of the
documents described in Section 8.6, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture, unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 

  
 21 

 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this section to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly
describing the amendment or supplement. Any failure of the Company to mail any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any supplemental indenture. 

8.3. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. 

Every amendment to, or supplement of, this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

8.4. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. 

Until an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Security or portion thereof, and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any such Security. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security, if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement, waiver or other
action becomes effective. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who
were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every
Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.2. In that case, the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action 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; PROVIDED, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of the
principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such
Holder. 
 8.5. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. 

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security of any Series, the Trustee may request the Holder of such Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on such Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, the Company, in exchange for such Security, may issue, and the Trustee
shall authenticate, a new security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

8.6. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment, supplement or waiver
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Company may not
sign an amendment or supplement until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. 

  
 22 

 ARTICLE 9 – 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

9.1. DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. 
 The
Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities of any Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series, except the obligations referred to in the last paragraph of this Section 9.1, if there shall have been canceled by the
Trustee, or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, all Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any Securities of such Series that are asserted to have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall
have been replaced as provided in Section 2.8) and the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder or deposited all required sums with the Trustee. 

After such delivery the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in a writing prepared by or on behalf of the Company the discharge of the
Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture, except for those surviving obligations specified below. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.7, 9.5 and 9.6 shall
survive. 
 9.2. LEGAL DEFEASANCE. 

The Company may at its option, by Board Resolution, be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Securities of any Series on the
date upon which the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by the Securities of such Series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall,
subject to Section 9.6, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, as are delivered to it by the Company), except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders
of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.4 and as more fully set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the
Securities of such Series when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities of such Series under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7) and (D) this Article 9. Subject to compliance with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option
under this Section 9.2 with respect to the Securities of any Series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.3 below with respect to the Securities of such Series. 

9.3. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 
 At the
option of the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Company shall be released from its obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of any Series under Sections 4.2 through 4.5, inclusive, and Section 5.1, with
respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 9.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified section or portion thereof, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
specified Section or portion thereof or by reason of any reference in any such specified section or portion thereof to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of any
Series shall be unaffected thereby. 
 9.4. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 

The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 to the outstanding Securities of a Series:

Section 7.10 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article 9 applicable to it) as 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 the Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms
will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on, the outstanding Securities of such
Series at the Stated Maturity of such principal, interest or premium, if any, or on dates for payment and redemption of such principal, interest and premium, if any, selected in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Securities
of such Series; 
 (2) no Event of Default or Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit, or shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference
period under any Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit as specified in the Opinion of Counsel identified in paragraph (8) below (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period); 

  
 23 

 (3) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest for purposes of the TIA with respect to any securities of the Company; 
 (4) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

Defeasance, neither the trust nor the Trustee will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 

(6) in the case of an election under Section 9.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that or (ii) there has been a change in any applicable Federal income tax law with the effect that, and such opinion
shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series or Persons in their positions will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject
to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, including as a result of prepayment, and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 

(7) in the case of an election under Section 9.3, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (8) the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Article 9 relating to either the Legal Defeasance under Section 9.2 or the Covenant

then due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7. 
 9.5. DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 
 All money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.4 in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, accrued interest and premium, if any, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.4 or the principal, interest and premium, if any, received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article 9 to the
contrary notwithstanding, but subject to payment of any of its outstanding fees and expenses, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
Obligations held by the Trustee as provided in Section 9.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 9.6. REINSTATEMENT.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 9 until such time 

  
 24 

 
as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 9.1, 9.2,
9.3 or 9.4; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, or accrued interest or premium, if any, on, any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

9.7. MONEYS HELD BY PAYING AGENT. 

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this
Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or, if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.1, to the Company, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such moneys. 
 9.8. MONEYS HELD BY TRUSTEE. 

Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of, or interest
or premium, if any, on, any Security that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Security for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Security shall have respectively become
due and payable shall be repaid to the Company upon Company Request, or if such moneys are then held by the Company in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Security entitled to receive such payment shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or any
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, either mail to each Securityholder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Securities maintained by the Registrar, or cause to be
published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the
release of any money held in trust by the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors, unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at meetings of Securityholders. The Registrar and Paying Agent may make reasonable
rules for their functions. 
 10.7. BUSINESS DAYS; LEGAL HOLIDAYS; PLACE OF PAYMENT. 

A “Business Day” is a day that is not a Legal Holiday. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday, a federally-recognized
holiday or a day on which banking institutions are not authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to be open in the State of New York. 

If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a Place of Payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal
Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. “Place of Payment” means the place or places where the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the Securities of a Series are payable as specified as
contemplated by Section 2.2. If the regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected. 
 10.8. GOVERNING LAW.

 THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS

INTERPRETATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. 
 This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan, security or debt agreement of
the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. No such indenture, loan, security or debt agreement may be used to interpret this Indenture. 
 10.10. NO
RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. 
 A director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the
Securities. 
 10.11. SUCCESSORS. 

All covenants and agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind the Company’s successors and assigns, whether
so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee, any additional trustee and any Paying Agents in this Indenture shall bind their respective successors and assigns. 

10.12. MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS. 
 The
parties may sign multiple counterparts of this Indenture. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together represent one and the same agreement. 

10.13. TABLE OF CONTENTS, HEADINGS, ETC. 

The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of
reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

10.14. SEVERABILITY. 
 Each provision
of this Indenture shall be considered separable, and if for any reason any provision which is not essential to the effectuation of the basic purpose of this Indenture or the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and a Holder shall have no claim therefor against any party hereto. 

  
 27 

 10.15. SECURITIES IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY OR IN EUROS. 

Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2 with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all
Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including Euros), then the principal amount of
Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this
Section 10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the case of Euros, Market
Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the
“Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
or, in the case of Euros, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of Euros, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of
the currency in question or, in the case of Euros, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of Euros, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall
apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the
preceding paragraph shall be in the Trustee’s sole discretion, and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders. 

10.16. JUDGMENT CURRENCY. 
 The
Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or interest or
premium, if any, or other amount on, the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at
which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a Business
Day, in which instance, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day
preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or any recovery pursuant to any

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements set forth herein, the parties, each intending to be legally bound hereby, do promise and agree as follows.

 

1.    License Grant.

 

1.1.    Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, for the Term of this Agreement, the non-transferable and non-assignable (except as set forth in Section 17.7, below) right and license to use the Licensed Property solely in connection with the manufacture, promotion, marketing, advertising, distribution and sale of the Licensed Products in the Distribution Channels within the Territory, or cause third parties to do same on its behalf. Licensee shall be solely responsible for retaining a public relations (“PR”) agency to manage all PR associated with the Licensed Products. It is understood and agreed that this license shall pertain only to the Licensed Products and does not extend to any other product or service without Licensor's prior written approval (which may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion). Licensor acknowledges and agrees that the promotion, marketing, advertising, distribution and sale of the Licensed Products (and therefore use of the Licensed Property) may occur in any formats, platforms, or media, now known or hereafter developed, including without limitation, in or on television, e-commerce sites, print, outdoor billboards, internet/digital advertising, social media, brochures and press kits, trade and sales materials, in-store, point of sale, and promotional merchandising.

 

1.2.    Licensee shall not make or authorize any use, direct or indirect, of the Licensed Products, like or similar, in any channel of distribution outside the Distribution Channels, or in any country outside the Territory and will not sell the Licensed Products to persons who Licensee knows or has reason to know intends to or is likely to resell them outside the permitted Distribution Channels and/or Territory.

Licensee shall have no obligation to use or otherwise exploit the Licensed Property in any respect and the extent of any usage of the Licensed Property by Licensee, if any, shall be in Licensee's sole discretion, subject to Licensee's payment of the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, if any.

 

1.4.

1.5.    During the Term, and for a one (1) year period thereafter, the license granted in this Agreement shall be exclusive (even as to Licensor) solely with respect to alcohol-infused dessert products. During such period, Artist shall not (a) authorize or permit the use of the Licensed Property, nor will Artist render any services, to any Competitor; or (b) own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, the license granted in this Agreement shall not preclude Licensor from entering into other beer, wine, or spirits initiatives not involving alcohol-infused dessert products.

1.6.    Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly use or exploit, or authorize any Person to use or exploit, the Licensed Property, or endorse (or comment on or review in a manner that could reasonably appear to be an endorsement) or act as an ambassador, influencer, representative, or spokesperson for (or for the promotion of) any product, service, brand, or Person, in any manner that a reasonable person would consider to: (i) be pornographic, illegal, racist, libelous, or defamatory; (ii) constitute hate speech; or (iii) promote pornography, the use of illegal substances, illegal activity, illegal products or services, racism, sexual harassment or other types of harassment, abusive conduct, hate, fraud, or pyramid schemes. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall not publish, or communicate to any Person or in any public forum, any defamatory, negative, critical or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning Artist, Licensor, or any of its Affiliates or their respective businesses, products, services or brands, or any of their respective employees, officers, directors or shareholders and their existing and prospective customers, suppliers, investors, and other associated third parties.

 

2.    Approvals. In addition to any other approval rights set forth herein, Licensor shall have the right to pre-approve all uses by Licensee of the Licensed Property, or any materials or content referencing or incorporating the Licensed Property, including, without limitation, as used in packaging, marketing materials and messaging, photographs, videos, cross-promotions, co-promotions, testimonials, and logos.

Licensee shall provide Licensor with a sample of all publicity, press releases, marketing materials, advertising, or promotions that use or exploit the Licensed Property prior to their public dissemination, and Licensor shall have the right to approve or disapprove of the same. Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to respond within a reasonable time, and in any case shall respond within ten (10) days of receipt of any such samples. In the event that Licensor fails to respond to any submission within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, then any samples so delivered by Licensee shall be deemed to have been approved by Licensor. In the event that Licensor disapproves any samples or otherwise rejects any submission for approval, it shall, within such ten (10) day period provide the reasons for disapproval or rejection and suggest changes. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor to make any modifications or adjustments in response to Licensor’s objections and re-submit the applicable sample for Licensor’s approval.

9.7.    Upon becoming aware thereof, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of any: (i) infringing or unlawful use or proposed use by another person or entity of any part of the Licensed Property in violation of the rights granted under this Agreement; or (ii) claim by a third party that the Licensed Property or the use thereof infringes the rights of a third party, regardless of whether such claim has become the subject of a legal proceeding. Licensor shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any action shall be taken on account of any such infringement described in (i) and (ii) above, and shall have sole discretion in the accommodation or settlement of any controversies relating thereto and Licensor, if it so desires, may commence or prosecute any claims or suits in its own name. Licensee may only institute a suit or take any action with respect to any such infringement or imitation with the prior written consent of Licensor, and such suit or action shall be at Licensee’s sole expense and Licensee shall have the right to collect and retain any proceeds of any settlement or judgment therefrom solely which directly arise out of Licensee‘s having suffered damages or losses solely on account of such infringement. If an action is commenced by Licensor in Licensor’s name, in Licensee’s name or in the name of Licensor and Licensee, Licensor shall bear all expenses associated with such action taken by Licensor and Licensor shall have the right to collect any proceeds of any settlement or judgment therefrom.

17.1.    Force Majeure. Neither party shall have any liability for or obligation to the other with respect to its partial or total inability or failure to perform any or all of its obligations or exercise any of its rights under this Agreement, if such failure to perform or exercise are materially interfered with, or postponed, by reason of any cause or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, any act of God, fire, flood, inclement weather, pandemic or national health emergency, earthquake, explosion, accident, war, act of a public enemy, including but not limited to terrorist activities, civil disturbance, labor dispute (or threatened dispute), strike, lockout or new enactment of law.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Force Majeure occurrence under this section shall suspend Licensee of its duty to provide royalty statements and the associated Royalty payment to Licensor.

 

17.2.    Notices. All notices, reports or approvals permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in writing (including e-mail communication) and addressed to the other party at the address or email set forth at the top of this Agreement (or to such other address or email as either party may specify in writing in accordance with this Section 17.2). All notices (excluding legal notices), reports or approvals may be emailed. All notices may, and legal notices must be, delivered by personal delivery, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight courier and shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, five (5) days after deposit in certified or registered mail, or one (1) day after deposit to an overnight courier. Notices shall be sent to the specific authorized designated recipient communicated by either party in writing. .

17.4.    Waiver. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any one or more of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such term or provision, and the same shall continue in full force and effect.

 

17.5.    Renewals and Modifications by the Parties. No renewal or modification of the Agreement shall be made valid unless made in writing and signed on behalf of both of the respective parties or by duly authorized agents thereof.

 

17.6.    Relationship. The relationship between the parties is as set out in the Agreement and no employment, joint venture, partnership or agency relationship shall be deemed to subsist between the parties and neither shall have the power to bind the other. This Agreement does not obligate the parties to enter into any further agreements or to proceed with any contemplated transaction.

 

17.7.    Assignability. The license granted hereunder is personal to Licensee and neither party may assign this Agreement to any third party without prior written consent from the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) except (a) to a controlled Affiliate, or (b) by Licensee in connection with a consolidation or merger, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets, equity or beneficial interests of Licensee. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The assignor will give the other party written notice within thirty (30) days of any assignment described in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

17.8.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of California, and without regard to conflict of laws rules thereof.

17.9.    Attorneys' Fees and Costs. The Parties agree that in the event of a dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the reasonable, actual, and documented costs and expenses of the prevailing party, including reasonable outside attorneys' fees, that may arise or accrue from enforcing this Agreement, obtaining an interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, or in pursuing any remedy provided by applicable law, whether such remedy is pursued or interpretation is sought by mediation, arbitration, the filing of a lawsuit, an appeal, and/or otherwise.

 

17.10.    Unique Services; No Exclusive Remedy. It is expressly understood and agreed that (a) the services to be performed by Artist and the rights and privileges granted to Licensee hereunder are special, unique, extraordinary and impossible of replacement, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which could not be reasonably or adequately compensated with monetary damages, and (b) Licensor's failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder may cause Licensee to suffer irreparable loss and damages. Accordingly, Licensor agrees that should Licensor or Artist fail or refuse to perform such services, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Licensor to prevent the continuance of such failure or refusal, or to prevent Licensor or Artist from performing services for, or granting rights to others, in violation of this Agreement, without the requirement of posting any bond or furnishing other security. The rights of either party, and its respective successors, officers, directors and employees to seek injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and shall not be exclusive of, any other rights or remedies which may accrue to each party, and its respective successors, assigns, officers, directors and employees.

 

17.11.    Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

17.12.    Survival. Any sections and any other obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, which, by their term or implication, have a continuing effect, shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

17.13.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all pervious negotiations, representations, undertakings and agreements both written and oral made between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
