PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
			$___,000

				
			September _,2019

			

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Accelerize Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as the “Borrower”), with offices at 2601 Ocean Blvd., Suite 310, Santa Monica, CA 90405, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [_____________________] (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States, at [__________________________________], or such other address as the Lender may from time to time designate, the principal sum of _____ Thousand Dollars ($____,000) (the “Principal”). This Note shall mature and become due and payable in full on September 30, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

1.     Terms of Repayment. Principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid by the Borrower as follows:

 

(a)   Interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date hereof through the Maturity Date shall be payable quarterly in cash on the first business day of December, March, June and September (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 1, 2019.

 

(b)   All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a business day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.

 

(c)   Principal shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

 

 

2.     Terms of Prepayment. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal and any interest amount accrued thereon (at Borrower’s option or pursuant to provision 1(d) above). In connection with any prepayment, payment of interest will be accelerated on the prepaid amount such that Borrower will pay to Lender an amount equal to the unpaid amount of one year of accrued interest on the prepaid amount. Partial prepayments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to outstanding Principal.

 

3.     Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants as follows: (i) the Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Note are within the Borrower's powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not contravene (A) the Borrower's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (B) (x) any law or (y) any agreement or document binding on or affecting the Borrower, (iii) no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or third person is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Note other than has been obtained; (iv) this Note constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and subject to the applicability of general principles of equity; (v) the Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its property and assets and to conduct its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (vi) the Borrower is duly qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it, or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; and (vi) there is no pending or, to the Borrower's knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting the Borrower before any governmental agency or arbitrator which challenges or relates to this Note or which may otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Borrower.

 

 

 

 

4.      Covenants. So long as any principal or interest is due hereunder and shall remain unpaid, the Borrower will, unless the Lender shall otherwise consent in writing:

 

(a)     Maintain and preserve its existence, rights and privileges;

 

(b)     Not (i) directly or indirectly sell, lease or otherwise dispose of (A) any of its property or assets other than in its ordinary course of business or (B) substantially all of its properties and assets, in the aggregate, to any person(s), whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions over any period of time, (ii) merge into or with or consolidate with any other person or (iii) adopt any plan or arrangement for the dissolution or liquidation of the Borrower; and

 

(c)     Comply in all material respects with all applicable laws (whether federal, state or local and whether statutory, administrative or judicial or other) and with every applicable lawful governmental order (whether administrative or judicial).

 

5.      Events of Default. Each and any of the following shall constitute a default and, after expiration of the Grace Period, if any, shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(a)     the nonpayment of principal, interest, or any other costs or expenses promptly when due of any amount payable under this Note;

 

(b)     any other failure of the Borrower to observe or perform any covenant set forth in this Note or in the Warrant issued to Lender on the date hereof (other than a payment default described above), which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days (the “Grace Period”) of Borrower’s receipt of a written notice that such failure exists and is continuing, and should it not be cured within the Grace Period, it shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note;

 

(c)     if Borrower shall commence any case, proceeding or other action: (i) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts; or (ii) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, or the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iii) there shall be commenced against the Borrower any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to above or seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its property, which case, proceeding or other action results in the entry of any order for relief or remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days;

 

 

 

 

(d)     any representation or warranty made by the Borrower under this Note shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

 

(e)     the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or change in controlling ownership (i.e., change in excess of 50% the Borrower’s equity voting interest) or the dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation, or reorganization of Borrower without the Lender’s prior written consent.

 

6.      Lender’s Rights Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, at its sole and exclusive option, do any or all of the following, either concurrently or separately: (a) accelerate the maturity of this Note and demand immediate payment in full, whereupon the outstanding principal amount of the Note and all obligations of Borrower to Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable; and (b) exercise all legally available rights and privileges.

 

7      Usury. In no event shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under applicable law. Any excess amount of deemed interest shall be null and void and shall not interfere with or affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay the principal of and interest on the Note. This confirms that the Borrower and, by its acceptance of this Note, the Lender intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws from time to time in effect. Accordingly, the Borrower and the Lender stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use or forbearance of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in effect.

 

8.     Assignment. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided that neither Borrower nor Lender may assign this Note, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

9.     Governing Law. This Note, and any claims arising out of relating to this Note, whether in contract or tort, statutory or common law, shall be governed exclusively by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

10.   Jurisdiction. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT UNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE, IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ANY OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER IT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE DELIVERY OF A SUMMONS BY PERSONAL DELIVERY OR OVERNIGHT COURIER AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12 OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER ADDRESS AS SHALL BE PROVIDED BY SUCH PARTY IN WRITING. ASSUMING DELIVERY OF THE SUMMONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY ALLEGED LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS.

 

 

 

 

11.     Miscellaneous. (a) If any provision of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. (b) The waiver of any Event of Default or the failure of Lender to exercise any right or remedy to which it may be entitled shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent Event of Default or Lender’s right to exercise that or any other right or remedy to which Lender is entitled. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising, or failure by Lender to exercise on any one or more occasions, shall be construed as a waiver or novation of this Note or prevent the subsequent exercise of any or all such rights. (c) This Note may not be waived, changed, modified, or discharged orally, but only in writing signed by each of Borrower and Lender. (d) By acceptance of this Note, Lender acknowledges that it is either an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 Section 103    Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not
necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and

Any certificate or opinion of a director or officer of the Company or of an officer of the Guarantor, as the case may be, may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based is
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of, or representations by, a director or an officer of the Company or officers of the Guarantor, as the case may be,
stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

Section 104    Acts of Holders; Record Dates.  

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,
made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the Act of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of
the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Securities
shall be proved by the Security Register. 

  
 10

Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered
to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company may not
set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no
such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall, at its own expense, cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any
request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders
of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled
and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

  
 11 

 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets
such record dates may designate any date as the Expiration Date and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is
given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any
record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do
so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 

Section 105    Notices, Etc., to Trustee, the Guarantor and the Company.  

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (a)    the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company
or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 

(b)    the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to it at the address of its office specified in the first paragraph
of this instrument, Attn. Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. 

Section 106    Notice to Holders; Waiver.  

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the 

  
 12 

 
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case, by reason of
the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for
every purpose hereunder. 
 Section 107    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  

This Indenture is subject to, and shall be governed by, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this
Indenture. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 108    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

Section 109    Successors and Assigns.  

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not. 
 Section 110    Separability Clause.  

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or in any Guarantee 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. 

Section 111    Benefits of Indenture.  

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or in any Guarantee, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 112    Governing Law.  

This Indenture, the Securities and any Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. For
the avoidance of doubt, the applicability of Article 86 to 94-8 of the Luxembourg law on commercial companies shall be excluded. 

  
 13 

 Section 113    Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of
Process. 
 Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party to enforce any
rights under or with respect to this Indenture, any Security and any Guarantee or any other document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may be instituted in any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City
of New York, State of New York, United States of America, irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, irrevocably waives to
the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that and agrees not to claim or plead in any court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof. 

The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally designates and appoints CT Corporation System, located at 28 Liberty Street, NY, NY 10005
(and any successor entity) as its authorized agent to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of process upon CT
Corporation System shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Company. Said designation and appointment
shall be irrevocable. Nothing in this Section 113 shall affect the right of the Holders to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Holders to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any jurisdiction
or jurisdictions. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CT Corporation System in
full force and effect so long as the Securities are outstanding. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs CT Corporation System to accept such service on its behalf. If for any reason CT Corporation System ceases to
be available to act as such, the Company agrees to designate a new agent in New York City. 

Section 114    Treatment of Securities as Debt. 

It is intended that the Securities will be treated as indebtedness and not as equity for United States federal income tax purposes. The
provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention. 
 Section 115    Judgment
Currency. 
 Each of the Company and the Guarantor 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 premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts 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 New York Banking Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its 

  
 14 

 
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 judgment (whether or not
entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be
payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full
amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day
except a legal holiday in The City of New York. 
 Section 116    Legal Holidays.  

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or
at the Stated Maturity, provided, that no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 

Section 117    Waiver of Jury Trial  

EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE GUARANTOR, THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series. 

Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, at the option of the Company, interest on the Securities of any series
that bears interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 

If any of the terms of a series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company, a copy of an appropriate record
of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate of the Company setting forth the terms of the series. 

  
 25 

 Section 302    Denominations.  

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

Section 303    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.  

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of the directors or officers of the Company, and any Guarantee shall be
executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or an Assistant Treasurer. The signature of any of such persons on the Securities and any Guarantee may be
manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time a proper director or officer of the Company,
shall bind the Company and Guarantees bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time a proper officer of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Guarantees or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities and Guarantees. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company and any Guarantee executed by the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
 (a)    if the form of such
Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(b)    if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company as
permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(c)    that such Securities and the related Guarantees, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and, if applicable, to provisions of law which may
require that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed in United States dollars. 

  
 26 

 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a
series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such
preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 304    Temporary Securities.  

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Guarantor may execute any Guarantee thereon
and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and the Guarantor shall execute any Guarantee thereon. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 

  
 27 

 Section 305    Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.  
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained
in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the Security Register) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 

A copy of the Security Register shall be maintained by the Company at its registered office, in order to comply with Luxembourg law (the
“Duplicate Register”). In case of discrepancy between the Security Register and the Duplicate Register, the Duplicate Register shall prevail for Luxembourg law purposes. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount and the Guarantor shall execute any Guarantee thereon. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series
may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive and the Guarantor shall execute any Guarantee thereon. 

All Securities and any Guarantees thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of guaranteed Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the Company and the Guarantor as applicable, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and any Guarantees thereon 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 Trustee)
be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required
(A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period 

  
 28 

 
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close
of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

The provisions of Clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 

(a)    Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event
of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. 

(c)    Subject to the provisions of Clause (b) above, the rights of holders of such Global Securities shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such holders and the Depositary and or the Depositary participants. The initial Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the
Depositary participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Global Securities to such Depositary participants. 

The Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, and any of their respective agents, employees, officers and
directors, as the absolute owner of the Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, or any of their respective agents, from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or shall impair the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Global Security. Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section, any holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Global Securities. 

(d)    Subject to Clause (b) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in
part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 

  
 29 

 (e)    Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

(f)    None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee will
have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests. 
 Section 306    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.  

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and the Guarantor shall execute any Guarantee thereon. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding and the Guarantor shall execute any Guarantee thereon. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

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

Every new Security of any series and any Guarantee thereon issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, 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. 
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

  
 30 

 Section 307    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved.  
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 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 (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a)    The Company may elect to
make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose name the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of any notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder of Securities of such series, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall
be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (b).

 (b)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security. 

  
 31 

 Section 308    Persons Deemed Owners.  

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor 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 principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 309    Cancellation.  

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company and the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder
which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedure, unless otherwise directed by a Company Order. 

Section 310    Computation of Interest.  

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 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. 

ARTICLE 4 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE 
 Section 401    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 

(a)    either 

(1)    all Securities (and any related Guarantee) theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in

 (2)    all such Securities not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation 
 (i)    have become due and payable, or 

(ii)    will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(iii)    are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company or the Guarantor, in the case of
(i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money (either in United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in Section 1304 or such other
currency or Foreign Government Obligations (as defined in Section 1304) or currency units in which the Securities of any series may be payable) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities (and any
related Guarantees) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b)    the Company or the Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company or the Guarantor; and 
 (c)    the Company has delivered to the Trustee an

obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of Clause (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 
 Section 402    Application of
Trust Money.  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting
as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 

  
 33 

 ARTICLE 5 

REMEDIES 

Section 501    Events of Default.  

Event of Default, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any of the following events (whatever the reason for
such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(a)    default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and

(h)    any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

Section 502    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(e) or 501(f)) with respect to Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that
series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(e) or 501(f)
with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of
such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (a)    the Company or the Guarantor has
paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay; 
 (A)    all overdue interest on all
Securities of that series, 

  
 35 

 (B)    the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 

(C)    to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (D)    all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 

(b)    all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 

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

Section 503    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.  

The Company and the Guarantor each covenant that if: 

(a)    default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; or 
 (b)    default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any, on) any Security whether at the Maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise thereof; 
 the Company or the Guarantor will, upon demand of the
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any
other proper remedy. 

  
 36 

 Section 504    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or
its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any
such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that
the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

Section 505    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.  

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

 Section 506    Application of Money Collected.  

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect
of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) under Section 607; and 

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

  
 37 

 Third, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

Section 507    Limitation on Suits.  

No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a)    such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 

(b)    the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(c)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d)    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e)    no direction inconsistent with
such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 

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

Section 508    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert.
 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date)
and to convert such Security in accordance with the provisions in the form of Security of any particular series pursuant to Section 301(i) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 509    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any
Guarantee and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, 

  
 38 

 
then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 510    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 511    Delay or Omission Not
Waiver.  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 512    Control by Holders.  

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 

(a)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, the Securities or any
Guarantee; 
 (b)    the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with
such direction; and 
 (c)    subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline
to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 513    Waiver of Past Defaults.  

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 

(a)    in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 

  
 39 

 (b)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such
waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 Section 514    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, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 

ARTICLE 6 
 THE TRUSTEE 

Section 601    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent actions, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred; 
 (1)    the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  
 40 

 (2)    in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; 
 (b)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(c)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting a proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 
 None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 This Section is in furtherance of and subject
to Sections 315 and 316 of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 602    Notice of Defaults.  

If a default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Securities of such series, notice of such default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such default. Except in the case of a default in
payment of principal of, premium on or interest on any Security of any series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of that series. For purposes of this Section, the term default means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of such series. 
 Section 603    Certain Rights of Trustee.  

Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 

(a)    the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties; 

  
 41 

 (b)    any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

(c)    whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 

(d)    the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

(e)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at
the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company and the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost and expense of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 

(g)    the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h)    in the event the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Security Registrar hereunder, the
rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Security Registrar; 

(i)    the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice at its Corporate Trust Office of such Event of Default from the Company, the Guarantor or from Holders of Securities of any series so affected evidencing no less than 51% of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Securities of such series; 
 (j)    [RESERVED]; 

  
 42 

 (k)    the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance
of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s covenants in Article Ten or Article Fourteen; 
 (l)    before the
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion; 

(m)    in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 

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

(o)    the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee hereunder, including, without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its respective capacities hereunder, and each agent custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 

(p)    in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by forces beyond its reasonable control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of
God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking
industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances; and 
 (q)    notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Indenture (as amended or supplemented), the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any Paying Agent may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed from
principal or interest payments hereunder. The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with each other and shall provide each other with copies of documents or information reasonably necessary for each of
the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any such Paying Agent to comply with any withholding tax or tax information reporting obligations imposed on any of them, including any obligations imposed pursuant to an agreement with a governmental
authority. 
 Section 604    Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.  

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee
nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

  
 43 

 Section 605    May Hold Securities.  

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Guarantor, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject, to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating
Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 606    Money Held in Trust. 

 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. 

Section 607    Compensation and Reimbursement.  

The Company and the Guarantor agree: 

(a)    to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
 (c)    to indemnify the Trustee
and its officers, directors, agents, and employees for, and to hold it and its officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including fees and expenses of counsel, including taxes (other than taxes
based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or in
connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 607. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company and
the Guarantor under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 

  
 44 

 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(e) or Section 501(f), such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy or insolvency law. 
 “Trustee” for purposes of this
Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 

Section 608    Conflicting Interests.  

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate
such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 

Section 609    Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.  

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall
be a Person having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and shall be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 610    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.  

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
 The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

  
 45 

 The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor. 

If at any time: 

(a)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, 
 (b)    the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

(c)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to
Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series shall be appointed by act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its corporate trust office.

 Section 611    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not
all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall 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, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph,
as the case may be. 

  
 47 

 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. No trustee hereunder shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee. 

Upon appointment of any successor Trustee, hereunder, all fees, charges and expenses of the retiring Trustee shall become immediately due and
payable. 
 Section 612    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated
such Securities. 
 Section 613    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company and Guarantor. 

 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or the Guarantor (or any such other obligor). 

Section 614    Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at 

  
 48 

 
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section. 
 Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be
an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If an
appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication
in the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 ARTICLE 10 

COVENANTS 

Section 1001    Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.  

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. The performance by the Guarantor of the obligations of the Company under this Section 1001 shall be deemed to constitute performance
thereof by the Company. 
 Section 1002    Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will 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 agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies
where the Securities of one or more series 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 will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in
the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Section 1003    Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in
Trust.  
 If the Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities,
it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any
premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or
any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will 

  
 55 

 (a)    comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable
to it as a Paying Agent and 
 (b)    during the continuance of any default by the Company or the Guarantor (or any
other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment
in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company or the Guarantor may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company, the Guarantor or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company, the Guarantor or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or the Guarantor, in trust for the payment
of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held
by the Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee
or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
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 publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 1004    Commission Reports.  

Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after it files them with the Commission, copies of the
annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company or the Guarantor may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company and the Guarantor also shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, to the extent applicable. 

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 actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). All such documents 

  
 56 

 
or reports referred to in this Section 1004 that the Company or the Guarantor files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee
and transmitted to Holders at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor system). 

Section 1005    Compliance Certificate.  

(a)    The Company and the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the officers signing the Officers’ Certificate, with a
view to determining whether the Company and the Guarantor have each kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such officer signing such Officers’ Certificate, that to the best
of his knowledge the Company and the Guarantor have each kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant (without regard to periods of grace or notice requirements) contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Events of Default of which he may have knowledge). 

(b)    The Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the
Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Event of Default and what action the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 1006    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  

Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, the Securities or the
Guarantees; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted. 

Section 1007    Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence. Subject to Article Fourteen, the Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 

  
 57 

 Section 1008    Waiver of Certain Covenants.  

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company and the Guarantor may, with
respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1009, 1010 or 1011 with respect to the Securities of such series or in any covenant provided pursuant
to Section 301(s), 901(b) or 901(g) for the benefit of the Holders of such series, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

Section 1009    Taxes.  

The Company and the Guarantor shall, and the Guarantor shall cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes,
assessments and governmental levies, except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. 

Section 1010    Limitation on Secured Debt.  

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, or guarantee any Secured Debt without making effective
provision for securing the Securities equally and ratably with such Secured Debt. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply, however, to debt secured by (i) purchase money mortgages created to secure payment for the acquisition or construction
of any property including, but not limited to, any indebtedness incurred by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of construction (including any
improvements on an existing property) or the commencement of commercial operation of such property, which indebtedness is incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of such property or construction or improvements on
such property, (ii) mortgages, pledges, liens, security interest or encumbrances (collectively referred to herein as security interests) on property, or any conditional sales agreement or any title retention with respect to property, existing
at the time of acquisition thereof, whether or not assumed by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) security interests on property or shares of capital stock or indebtedness of any corporation or firm existing at the time such
corporation or firm becomes a Subsidiary, (iv) security interests in property or shares of capital stock or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged into or consolidated with the Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries or at the time of a sale, lease, or other disposition of the properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that no such security interests shall
extend to any other Principal Property of the Guarantor or such Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or to other Principal Property thereafter acquired other than additions or improvements to the acquired property, (v) security interests on
property of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of the United States of America or any state thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any department, agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof (including, without
limitation, security interests to secure indebtedness of the pollution control or industrial revenue type) in order to permit the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to perform a contract or to secure indebtedness incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price for the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such security 

  
 58 

 
interests or which is required by law or regulation as a condition to the transaction of any business or the exercise of any privilege, franchise or license, (vi) security interests on any
property or assets of any Subsidiary to secure indebtedness owing by it to the Guarantor or to another Subsidiary of the Guarantor, (vii) any mechanics’, materialmen’s, carriers’ or other similar lien arising in the ordinary
course of business (including construction of facilities) in respect of obligations which are not yet due or which are being contested in good faith, (viii) any security interest for taxes, assessments or government charges or levies not yet
delinquent, or already delinquent, but the validity of which is being contested in good faith, (ix) any security interest arising in connection with legal proceedings being contested in good faith, including any judgment lien so long as
execution thereof is being stayed, (x) landlords’ liens on fixtures located on premises leased by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, (xi) [reserved], or (xii) any extension, renewal or
replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any security interest referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (xi) inclusive. 

Section 1011    Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.  

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter any lease for a term longer than three years (excluding leases of
newly acquired, improved or constructed property) covering any Principal Property of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary that is sold to any other person in connection with such lease (a Sale and Leaseback Transaction), unless either (a) the
Guarantor or such Subsidiary of the Guarantor would be entitled, without equally and ratably securing the Securities to incur Indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Principal Property leased pursuant to clauses (i) through (xi) of
Section 1010 hereof, or (b) an amount equal to the value of the Principal Property so leased is applied to the retirement, within 120 days of the effective date of such arrangement, of indebtedness for borrowed money incurred or assumed by
the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor which is recorded as Funded Debt as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and which in the case of such Indebtedness of the Company, is not subordinate and junior in right
of payment to the prior payment of the Securities. 
 Section 1012    Exempted Indebtedness.  

Notwithstanding Section 1010 and Section 1011, the Guarantor and any one or more of its Subsidiaries may, without securing the
Securities, issue, assume, or guarantee Secured Debt or enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions of Section 1010 and Section 1011, provided that after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of such Secured Debt then outstanding (not including Secured Debt permitted under the exceptions set forth in Section 1010) and the Attributable Debt of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (other than Sale and Leaseback
Transactions in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of Section 1011) at such time does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Assets. 

Section 1013    Business Activities.  

The Company shall not engage in any activities or take any action that would be inconsistent with the definition of “finance
subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

 ARTICLE 11 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 1101    Applicability of Article.  

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 or Section 1501 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 

Section 1102    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or
(b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction or condition. 
 Section 1103    Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.
 
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor
are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified
tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

  
 60 

 The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has
been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1104    Notice of Redemption.  

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. 
 All notices of redemption shall
state: 
 (a)    the Redemption Date, 

(b)    the Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, 

(c)    if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single
Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 
 (d)    that on the
Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(e)    the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 

(f)    that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 

Any notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent. In that case, such notice
shall state the nature of any such condition precedent. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company
shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

  
 61 

 Section 1105    Deposit of Redemption Price.  

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the
Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1106    Securities Payable on
Redemption Date.  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent specified in such notice of redemption, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company and the Guarantor
shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at
the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 1107    Securities Redeemed in Part.  

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Guarantor
shall execute any Guarantee thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 

ARTICLE 12 
 SINKING FUNDS 

Section 1201    Applicability of Article.  

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 

  
 62 

 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities
is herein referred to as a mandatory sinking fund payment, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an optional sinking fund payment. If provided for by the terms of any
Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 

Section 1202    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.  

The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as
a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be
redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 1203    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.  

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not been previously so credited and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1106 and 1107. 
 ARTICLE 13 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 1301    Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.  
 Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, this Article Thirteen shall be applicable to the
Securities of such series, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1302 (if applicable) or Section 1303 (if applicable) be applied to
the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen. 

  
 63 

 Section 1302    Defeasance and Discharge.  

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case
may be, the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied
(hereinafter called Defeasance). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities 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 execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder; (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and
interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder,
and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303
applied to such Securities. 
 Section 1303    Covenant Defeasance.  

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case
may be, (1) the Company and the Guarantor shall be released from their obligations under Sections 801, 1006, 1009, 1010, 1011 and 1013 and any other Sections or covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to
Section 301 to be subject to this provision), and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(s), 901(b) or 901(g) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 501(d) (with respect to Sections 801, 1006, 1009, 1010, 1011 and 1013 and any other Sections or covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision, and any such
covenants provided pursuant to Sections 301(s), 901(b) or 901(g)) and 501(g) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called Covenant Defeasance). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company and the Guarantor 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 (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(d)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

Defeasance.  
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be: 
 (a)    The Company or the Guarantor shall irrevocably
have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) in the case of Securities of such series denominated in U.S. dollars, (i) money

credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in
Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to
any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder

Obligation means (x) any security that is (i) a direct obligation of the government that issued such currency for the payment of which full faith and credit of such government is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or
supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality for such government the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by such government, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or

case may be, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company or the Guarantor has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or
(B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will
not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (c)    In the event
of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such
Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 

(d)    The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that
neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(e) and (f) at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that
this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 

(g)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound. 

(h)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 

  
 66 

 (i)    If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity
(other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made. 

(j)    The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 1305    Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
Provisions.  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations or
Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as
the Trustee) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any 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 such
Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as the 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 and any premium and interest, but
money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company or the Guarantor shall
pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities that, 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 an amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such
Securities. 
 Section 1306    Reinstatement.  

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company and the Guarantor

  
 67 

 
have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities,
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor makes
any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money so held in trust. 
 Section 1307    Qualifying Trustee.  

Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 1304 hereof for the purpose of holding trust funds deposited pursuant to that Section shall be
appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for
herein to the related Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee. 

ARTICLE 14

grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantor, and that the Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. The Guarantee shall be substantially as set forth in Section 206 hereof. 

(2)    The Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and shall not be
released, discharged or otherwise affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of
any 

  
 68 

 
security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor
of the Guaranteed Obligations, (6) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting
release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in the Indenture or any Security; (7) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against
the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (8) any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of the Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Security or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture; or (9) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever
which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than payment in full). 

(3)    The Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used
and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by the Guarantor hereunder. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require
that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against the Guarantor. 
 (4)    The Guarantor further
agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (5)    Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor herein
shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than payment in full). 

(6)    Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force
and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective 

  
 69 

 
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any
Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise. 
 (7)    In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when
and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor, hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the
Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed
Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 

(8)    The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of any series of Securities and the Trustee against
the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders and the Trustee by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity
of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this Indenture, the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 1401. 
 (9)    The Guarantor also agrees to pay
any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 1401. 

(10)    Upon request of the Trustee, the Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further
acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

Section 1402    Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.  

The Guarantor shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as
an entirety to any Person, unless: 
 (a)    either (A) the Guarantor shall be the surviving Person or (B) the
entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or trust, shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof 

  
 70 

 
or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, the Guaranteed Obligations and the performance or observance of
every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Guarantor to be performed or observed; 
 (b)    immediately after
giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and 

(c)    the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to such transaction have been complied with. 
 Section 1403    Successor Substituted; No Waiver;
Modification; Non-Impairment.  
 (1)    Upon any consolidation of the
Guarantor with, or merger of the Guarantor into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 1402, the successor Person formed by
such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Indenture with the same
effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Securities and the
Guarantee. 
 (2)    Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Article shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee
and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

(3)    No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article, nor the consent to any departure by the
Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

(4)    The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

 ARTICLE 15 

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS 

Section 1501    Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes.  

Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, the Securities of any series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option
of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and
Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 1502), if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations or rulings of Luxembourg or the United States, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein
having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any action taken by, or change in the published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a
holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to the Company or the Guarantor), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective on or after the date the Securities of
such series are issued, the Company or the Guarantor has become, or there is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities of such
series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of commercially reasonable measures available to the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to
the earliest date on which the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated, or there is a material probability the Company or Guarantor would otherwise be obligated, to pay such Additional Amount. Prior to the publication or, where
relevant, mailing (and/or to the extent permitted by applicable procedures or regulations, electronic delivery) of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(A) an Officers’ Certificate of
the Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it or (B) an Officers’ Certificate of the Guarantor stating that the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by such Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, as the case may be, and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of
recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described above and that the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it. 

Section 1502    Payment of Additional Amounts.  

All payments made by the Company or the Guarantor under or with respect to the Securities and any Guarantee will be made free and clear of and
without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”),
unless the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company or Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or
on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be, the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be
necessary so that the net amount received by each holder of Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required

  
 72 

 
to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment to a holder of Securities or a holder of a beneficial interests in Global Securities
where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such holder’s mere ownership of the Securities or for or on account of: 

(a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such holder or a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, or member of such holder if such
holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder: 

(1) is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing
Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction; 
 (2) has or had any present or former
connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof
or being or having been physically present therein; 
 (3) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United
States, is or was with respect to the United States a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has
accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; 
 (4) actually or constructively owns or owned 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or Guarantor within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or 

(5) is or was a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the
ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. 
 (b) any estate, inheritance, gift,
sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities, except as otherwise provided herein; 

(c) any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Securities (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more
than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been entitled to the
payment of Additional Amounts had the Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; 

(d) any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable
certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or
administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; 

  
 73 

 (e) with respect to withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, any such Taxes imposed
by reason of the failure of such holder to fulfill the statement requirements of sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code; 
 (f) any Taxes
that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Company or a Guarantor or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Securities; 

(g) any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any Securities if such payment can be made without
such withholding by at least one other paying agent; 
 (h) any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to the European Council
Directive 2003/48/EC of June 3, 2003, European Council Directive 2014/48 EU of March 14, 2014 or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000, on the taxation of savings
income in the form of interest payments, or any amendment thereof, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, that Directive or the Luxembourg Law of December 23, 2005, as amended; 

(i) any withholding or deduction for Taxes which would not have been imposed if the relevant Securities had been presented to another paying
agent in a member country of the European Union; 
 (j) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the
Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, official interpretations thereof, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code; or 

(k) any combination of Section 1502(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (j). 

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that is a fiduciary,
partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests of such Security, as the case may be. This exception, however, will apply only to the
extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional
Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment. 

The Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full
amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company or Guarantor, as applicable, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts
evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing 

  
 74 

 
Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will, upon request, make available to the holders of the Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any
Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or Guarantor or if, notwithstanding the Company’s or applicable Guarantor’s efforts to obtain such
receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company or Guarantor. 
 At least 30 days prior to each date
on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities or Guarantees is due and payable, if the Company or a Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company or Guarantor will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of
Securities on the payment date. 
 In addition, the Company will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and
duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in Luxembourg or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering,
enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Securities. 
 The provisions of this Article Fifteen shall survive any termination of the
discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which the Company or a Guarantor or any successor Person to the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for
tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein; provided, however, the date on which the Company or Guarantor changes its jurisdiction in which it is organized or such Person becomes a successor to the
Company or applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be substituted for the date on which the series of Securities was issued. 

Whenever in this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal and premium, if any,
redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or
would be payable in respect thereof. 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”)
transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic
(i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 

  
 75 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, all
as of the day and year first above written.
