witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s 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. 

(c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or
permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any person in respect of any such action, or,

30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent
list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 701) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the

 (d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Securities

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 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.

rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time

the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a

this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of
and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the

a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more Securities of this Series and of
like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and

require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

the Securities of this series, under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities of this series by accepting a Security of this series waives and releases all
such liabilities. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities of this series. 
 The
Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture with respect to Securities of this series will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the
Securities of this series or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Securities of this series to maturity or redemption.

manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 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 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. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or pursuant to authority
granted by one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, 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 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 as
permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (c) that such Securities, 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 enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating
to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

  
 25 

 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 second preceding paragraph, if all Securities of any 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 second
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 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 a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 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. 

  
 26 

	Section 305.	Security Registrar, Registration of Transfer and Exchange and Paying Agent 

 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein
sometimes collectively 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 their transfer and exchange.
The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of maintaining the Security Register. 
 Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency 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 a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 
 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 a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, 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. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be
the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Subject to Section 314, when Securities of any series are presented to the Security Registrar with a request from the Holder of such
Securities to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of such series of other authorized denominations, the Security Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or 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 such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities of the same series evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Security Registrar’s request. 

No service charge shall be assessed against the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may
require from the Holder 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, 306,
906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange Securities of any series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period 

  
 27 

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Global Security shall be registered for transfer or exchange, or authenticated and delivered, whether
pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with respect to a Global Security notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that
such Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any
series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such series, such Global Security may
be registered for transfer or exchange for Securities registered in the names of, or authenticated and delivered to, such Persons as the Depositary with respect to such series shall direct. 

Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, any Global Security, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security and bear the legend specified in Section 202. 

 

	Section 306.	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Security Registrar or 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. 
 If the Holder shall
have 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 (including any Paying Agent) harmless from any loss that any of them ay suffer if such Security is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Company 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. The Company may charge such Holder for the Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Security, and the Trustee and Security Registrar may charge the Company for the Trustee’s or the Security
Registrar’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Security. 

  
 28 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

 

	Section 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 Securities 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 (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make
payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names 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 to 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 for 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 the notice of the

  
 29 

 
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 at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, 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 (2). 

(2) 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 (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written 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. 
  

	Section 308.	Persons Deemed Owners 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 Trustee nor any agent of the Company 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 may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to
any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. 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. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of unless otherwise directed by a Company Order. 

  
 30 

	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. 
  

	Section 311.	Deposit of Moneys 

 Prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Securities shall be payable to the
Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Securities represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Securities shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the
office of the Paying Agent. 
  

	Section 312.	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust 

 Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Securities (whether
such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment.
Money held in trust by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law, and in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder; provided that if the Company or an Affiliate
thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds
disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 501(1) or (2), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
  

	Section 313.	Holder Lists 

 The Trustee
shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Security Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five
Business Days before each Interest Payment Date for Securities of any series, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
the Holders of Securities of such series; provided that, as long as the Trustee is the Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished. 

  
 31 

	Section 314.	Book-Entry Provisions for 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) Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf
by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization (which may be in electronic
form) furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. 

(c) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities of any series may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Securities of such series in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. In addition, a Global
Security shall be exchangeable for Physical Securities if (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Security or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, and, with respect to (x) or (y), the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depository within 90 days of such notice or cessation, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing
that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Securities in exchange for any or all of the Securities of any series represented by the Global Securities of such series or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of any series. In all cases, Physical Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations,
requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). 
 (d) In connection with any
transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 314(c), the Security Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and
records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security of such series to be transferred, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. 
 (e) In connection with the transfer of Global Securities of any series as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 314(c), the Global Securities of such series shall be deemed to be
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global
Securities of such series, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. 

  
 32 

 (f) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities of any series that is
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security of such series shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such other Global Security and,
accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(g) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
  

	Section 315.	Legend for Global Security 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated
and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (THE “DEPOSITARY”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER
HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. 
 ARTICLE FOUR

Government Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such time as will insure (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) the availability of cash, or a combination thereof, in amounts that will be
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and accrued 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; 
 (2) the Company
has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 (3) the Company has

the Trustee under Section 402(b), and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of

 34 

	Section 402.	Application of Trust Money

Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Section 403 or 404, but such money and U.S. Government Obligations need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (b) The Company shall pay and shall
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401, 403 or 404 or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other
than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article Four, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 401, 403 or 404 which, in the opinion of a nationally

money or U.S. Government Obligations were deposited or received. 

  
 35 

	Section 403.	Defeasance and Discharge of Securities of any Series 

 The Company may elect, at its option by Board Resolution at any time, to have this Section 403 be applicable to Securities of any series. Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this

of Section 609), irrevocably (irrespective of whether the conditions in subparagraphs (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) below have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of Section 402(c) and the last paragraph of
Section 1003), as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, with reference to this Section 403, (A) money in an amount,
(B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than the opening of business on the due date of any payment referred to in

interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities;

agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, which breach, violation or default is material to the interests of the Holders of the Securities of that series; 

(3) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would

 (4) the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that Holders of the Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; 
 (5) if the Securities of that series are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such deposit,
defeasance and discharge will not cause such Securities to be delisted; 

  
 36 

 (6) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the defeasance and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of any such series as contemplated by this Section have been

interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act; and

 The Company may elect, at its option by Board Resolution at any time, to have this Section 404 be applicable to Securities of any series. Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this
Section 404 applied to the Securities of any series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1005 through 1008, inclusive (whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein), and Section 501(4) (with respect to any term, provision or condition set forth in
Sections 1005 through 1008, inclusive and Section 801) and 501(5) shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Securities of that series, provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

 (1) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 609), irrevocably (irrespective of whether the conditions in subparagraphs (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) below have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of Section 402(c) and the last
paragraph of Section 1003), as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, with reference to this Section 404, (A) money in an
amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than the opening of business on the due date of any payment referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (1) money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification

installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and of such Securities; 

  
 37 

 (2) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute
a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, which breach, violation or default is material to the interests of the Holders of the Securities of that series; 

(3) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series (other than an Event of Default under Section 501(4) with respect to any of Sections 1005 through 1008, inclusive, and Section 801) shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(6) or Section 501(7) or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of tine or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 501(6) or
Section 501(7) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after such date;

obligations to comply as contemplated above had not occurred; 
 (5) if the Securities of that series are then
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such deposit and elimination of the Company’s obligations to comply as contemplated above will not
cause such Securities to be delisted; 
 (6) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the defeasance and elimination of the Company’s obligations to comply as contemplated above have been complied with;

Indenture Act; and 
 (8) such deposit and defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit
constituting an investment company within the meaning of the ICA, unless such trust shall be qualified under the ICA or exempt from regulation thereunder. 
  

	Section 405.	Reinstatement 

 If the
Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations from any deposit under Section 401, 403 or 404 in accordance with Section 402(a) with respect to the Securities of the series entitled thereto by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401, 403 or 404 with respect to such Securities until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to 

  
 38 

 
apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 402(a) with respect to such Securities in accordance with Section 402(a); provided, however, that if the Company makes has made
any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or any accrued interest on any such Security because of following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations so held in trust by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  

	Section 406.	Moneys Held by Paying Agent 

 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to
the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 403(1) or 404(1), to the Company upon a request of the Company, and thereupon the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
moneys. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 
 REMEDIES 
  

	Section 501.	Events of Default 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one 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): 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it

this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there
has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default
or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

  
 39 

 (5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary of the Company having an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of an amount equal to 3% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or under any mortgage, indenture or

amount equal to 3% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable after
the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto (which grace period, if such portion of the principal is less than an amount equal to 1% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets in the aggregate, shall be deemed to be no less than
5 days) or shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration
having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or 
 (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree
or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking

Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60
consecutive days; or 
 (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any

consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or
the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

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

  
 40 

	Section 502.	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment 

 If an Event of Default 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 (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in
the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount)
shall 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 based on acceleration for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and acceleration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 
 (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 
 (2) 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. 

  
 41 

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

 The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) 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 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and 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 the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  

	Section 504.	Trustee May File Proof of Claim 

 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (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; 

  
 42 

 
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 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 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.

  

	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 

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series; 
 (2) 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; 

(3) 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; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

  
 43 

 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in 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 any availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders, or to obtain or 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 

 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) any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  

	Section 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 and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holder 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. 

  
 44 

	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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of Holders of the affected Securities not joining in the giving of such direction and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of such Securities. 

 

	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 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 
 (2) 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
and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities will be restored to their former positions and rights under 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 cost 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. 
  

	Section 515.	Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws 

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may 

  
 45 

 
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and
covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

 

	Section 516.	No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders 

 No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, member or stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under
the Securities, or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. Such waivers and releases are
part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities and may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws. 
 ARTICLE SIX 
 THE TRUSTEE 

 

	Section 601.	Certain Duties and Responsibilities 

 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be provided by the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds in good faith for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  

	Section 602.	Notice of Defaults

Act and as otherwise provided in this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such
series.

(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, at reasonable times previously notified to the Company, to examine the relevant
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
 (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 any agent or attorney appointed with

good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

  
 47 

	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 the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  

	Section 605.	May Hold Securities 

 The
Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, 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 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 

 All
money deposited with the Trustee in respect of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. 
  

	Section 607.	Compensation and Reimbursement

 (1) 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); 

(2) 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 willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith; and 
 (3) to indemnify the
Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense 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 reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company in
writing promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted 

  
 48 

 
against the Trustee or Agent for which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder except to the extent the Company is actually prejudiced thereby. In the event that a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee may have separate counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee
for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability determined to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section 607 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 payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on particular Securities. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Article Five, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law. The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 607 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation
or removal of any Trustee. 
 In the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and Security
Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and Security Registrar. 

 

	Section 608.	Disqualification; 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 the Trust Indenture 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 shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act in every respect to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus
(together with its corporate parent) of at least $50,000,000 and its Corporate Trust Office, or an office or agency thereof, in Dallas, Texas or in the City of New York. If such Person 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 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. 

  
 49 

 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 

 (a) 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. 
 (b) 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 no later than 15 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (c) 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 and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 

(1) 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, or 
 (2) 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 
 (3) 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, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) 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 itself 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. 

  
 50 

 (e) 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 itself 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. 
 (f) 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 

 (a) 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. 

  
 51 

 (b) 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 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. 
 (c) Upon request of any
such successor Trustee, the Company 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 paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) 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. 
  

	Section 612.	Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business 

 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, the successor corporation 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 

  
 52 

 
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 

 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (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 any such other obligor). 
  

	Section 614.	Appointment of Authenticating Agent 

 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents reasonably acceptable to the Company 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 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 corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided that 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 

  
 53 

 
of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give written 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, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 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 Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation
for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
 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.

(5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities,
provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor
(B) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding; or 

(6) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the

	Section 902.	Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders 

 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of

but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
  

	Section 903.	Execution of Supplemental Indentures 

 The Trustee shall execute any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article if the supplemental indenture does not affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. In executing, or accepting the

 ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 
  

	Section 1001.	Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest 

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in
accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
  

	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

 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 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, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent

or failure so to act. 

  
 60 

 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 (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and 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 may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining 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 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 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, 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 upon Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company 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, 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.	Existence 

 Subject to
Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders. 
  

	Section 1005.	Maintenance of Properties 

The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Principal Subsidiary of the
Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof,

  
 61 

 
all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of
any Principal Subsidiary of the Company and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  

	Section 1006.	Payment of Taxes and Other Claims 

 The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or
any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon a Principal Property; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

  

	Section 1007.	Limitation on Liens 

 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Principal Subsidiary of the Company to, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property, or upon any shares of stock of any Principal
Subsidiary of the Company (whether such Principal Property or shares are now owned or hereafter acquired), to secure any Debt without making, or causing such Principal Subsidiary to make, effective provision for securing the Securities (and no other
indebtedness of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary of the Company except, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company which is not subordinate in right of payment to the Securities or of such Principal Subsidiary)
(x) equally and ratably with such Debt as to such Principal Property or shares for as long as such Debt shall be so secured unless (y) such Debt is Debt of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities, in which
case prior to such Debt as to such Principal Property or shares for as long as such Debt shall be so secured. 

The foregoing restrictions will not apply to Liens existing at the date of this Indenture or to: 

(i) Liens securing only the Securities; 

(ii) Liens in favor of only the Company; 

(iii) Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Company or
any Principal Subsidiary of the Company (but only to the extent such Liens cover such property); 

  
 62 

 (iv) Liens on property existing immediately prior to the time of
acquisition thereof (and not in anticipation of the financing of such acquisition); 
 (v) any Lien upon a
Principal Property (including any property that becomes a Principal Property after acquisition thereof) to secure Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction or improvement of the
property subject to such Lien; provided, however, that (A) the principal amount of any Debt secured by such Lien (1) does not exceed 100% of such purchase price or cost and (2) is incurred not later than six months after such
purchase or the completion of such construction or improvement, whichever is later, and (B) such Lien does not extend to or cover any other property other than such item of property and any improvements on such item; 

(vi) Liens to secure Debt incurred to extend, renew, refinance or refund (or successive extensions, renewals,
refinancings or refundings), in whole or in part, Debt secured by any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (v) or any Lien existing at the date of this Indenture, in each case, as long as such Lien does not extend to any
other property and the original amount of the Debt so secured is not increased; 
 (vii) any Lien securing Debt
owing by the Company to a wholly owned Principal Subsidiary of the Company (provided that such Debt is at all times held by a Person which is a wholly owned Principal Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that for purposes of this
Section 1007 and 1008 hereof, upon either (A) the transfer or other disposition of Debt secured by a Lien so permitted to a Person other than the Company or another wholly owned Principal Subsidiary of the Company or (B) the issuance,
sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of shares of capital stock of any such wholly owned Principal Subsidiary to a Person other than the Company or another wholly owned Principal Subsidiary of the Company, the provisions of this
clause (vii) shall no longer be applicable to such Lien and such Lien shall be subject (if otherwise subject) to the requirements of this Section 1007 without regard to this clause (vii); and 

(viii) Liens to secure (or to secure letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or bank guarantees in connection with)
the performance of statutory obligations (including obligations under workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance or similar legislation), surety or appeal bonds, customs bonds, performance bonds, leases, bids, agreements or other obligations
of a like nature, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business. 

  
 63 

 (b) In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its Principal Subsidiaries
may incur and suffer to exist a Lien to secure any Debt or enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of (i) the principal amount of Debt secured by
all Liens incurred after the date of this Indenture and otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and (ii) the Attributable Debt of all Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into after the date of this Indenture and otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture does not exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company. 
 (c) If the Company shall
hereafter be required under this Section 1007 to make (or cause to be made) effective provision for securing the Securities, then (i) the Company will promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
stating that this Section 1007 has been complied with and that any instruments executed by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary of the Company in the performance of this Section 1007 shall comply with the requirements hereof, and
(ii) the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of the Holders of the Securities as so secured.

  

	Section 1008.	Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions 

 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Principal Subsidiary of the Company to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction (except for a period not exceeding 36 months) unless: 

(1) The Company or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to enter into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant
to the provisions of Section 1007 hereof without equally and ratably securing the Securities; or 
 (2) The
Company or such Principal Subsidiary applies or commits to apply, within 270 days before or after the Sale Transaction pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to any combination
of the following: (i) the repayment of Funded Debt, (ii) the purchase of other property which will constitute Principal Property that has an aggregate value of at least the consideration paid therefor or (iii) Capital Expenditures
with respect to any Principal Property; provided that the amount to be applied or committed to the repayment of such Funded Debt shall be reduced by (a) the principal amount of any Securities delivered within six months before or after
such Sale Transaction to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (b) the principal amount of such Funded Debt as is voluntarily retired by the Company within six months before or after such Sale Transaction (it being understood
that no amount so applied or committed and no Securities so delivered or indebtedness so retired may be counted more than once for 

  
 64 

 
such purpose); provided, further, that no repayment or retirement referred to in this clause (2) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund
payment or any mandatory prepayment provision. 
  

	Section 1009.	Statement of Officers as to Default 

 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date of this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or
not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided
hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
  

	Section 1010.	Waiver of Certain Covenants 

 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1007 and 1008 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for
such compliance the Holders of 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 duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

	Section 1011.	Reports by the Company 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after the same is required to be filed with the Commission, copies of the
quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided
by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act), and the Company shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a). Any quarterly or annual report or other information, document or other report that the Company files
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act on the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) or any other publicly available database maintained by the Commission shall be deemed to constitute
delivery of such filing to the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

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 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

  
 65 

	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 by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before such
Redemption Date, notify the Trustee 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 prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided 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.
Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. 
  

	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 of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 30 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 portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 30 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 and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any
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 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. 

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date, 

  
 66 

 (2) the Redemption Price, 

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4)
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, 

(5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 

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

In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe
each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be
rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date as stated in such notice, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. 
 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. 
  

	Section 1105.	Deposit of Redemption Price 

 On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company 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, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after
such date (unless the Company 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 shall 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 Regular Record Date or Special Record Date
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 

  
 67 

 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, 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 required 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 TWELVE 

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 a series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series 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 Securities of any series is herein referred to
as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 
  

	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 the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent that provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities to be so
credited have not been previously so credited. Such Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund
and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

  
 68 

	Section 1203.	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund 

 Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 and not more than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 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. 
 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.
