2.2    Section 3.04(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new clause (v) before existing clause (v) and renumbering existing clauses (v) and (vi) accordingly:
(v)     Application in Connection with Consolidated Cash Balance. If, at the end     of any Friday     (or, if such day is not a Business Day, then as of the end of the next Business Day), (A) there is Revolving Credit Exposure and (B) the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds the lesser of (1) $30,000,000 and (2) 10% of the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall, on the next Business Day thereafter, (I) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (II) 

3

        

if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans because of LC Exposure, Cash Collateralize such remaining excess as provided in Section 2.09(j).
2.3    Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new clause (c) before existing clause (c) and renumbering existing clause (c) as clause (d):
(c)    At the time of such Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, and also after giving effect thereto, the Consolidated Cash Balance shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $30,000,000 and (ii) 10% of the Borrowing Base.
2.4    The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 12.21 as follows:
Section 12.21    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
Section 3.    Borrowing Base.  The Lenders party hereto (constituting at least the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that upon and as of the Fifth Amendment 

4

        

Effective Date (as defined below): (a) the May 1, 2020 Scheduled Redetermination shall be deemed to have taken place according to the procedures set forth in the Credit Agreement and (b) the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be decreased from $400,000,000 to $330,000,000 (the “Current Scheduled Redetermination”).  After giving effect to the Current Scheduled Redetermination, the Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until otherwise redetermined or adjusted pursuant to the Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, this provision does not limit the right of the parties to initiate Interim Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07(c) of the Credit Agreement or any other Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions and the Current Scheduled Redetermination shall not constitute an Interim Redetermination. This Section 3 constitutes the New Borrowing Base Notice delivered in accordance with Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Current Scheduled Redetermination.
Section 4.    Conditions Precedent.  This Amendment shall become effective on the date (such date, the “Fifth Amendment Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 12.02(b) of the Credit Agreement): 
4.1    The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable in connection with this Amendment or any other Loan Document on or prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Amendment or any other Loan Document.
4.2    The Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Amendment signed by the Borrower, the Guarantors and Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders.
4.3    The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying as to the representations and warranties in Section 5.2(d) below.
The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to declare this Amendment to be effective (and the Fifth Amendment Effective Date shall occur) when it has received documents confirming or certifying, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 4 (or the waiver of such conditions as permitted in Section 12.02(b) of the Credit Agreement).  Such declaration shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties to the Credit Agreement for all purposes.
Section 5.    Miscellaneous.
5.1    Confirmation.  All of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, are, and shall remain, in full force and effect following the effectiveness of this Amendment.  Neither the execution by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of this Amendment, nor any other act or omission by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their officers in connection herewith, shall be deemed to be an agreement by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to agree to any future requests.

5

        

5.2    Ratification and Affirmation; Representations and Warranties.  Each Obligor hereby (a) acknowledges the terms of this Amendment; (b) ratifies and affirms (i) its obligations under, and acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under, each Loan Document and agrees that each Loan Document remains in full force and effect as expressly amended hereby and (ii) that the Liens created by the Loan Documents to which it is a party are valid and continuing and secure the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, after giving effect to this Amendment; (c) agrees that from and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (i) each reference to the Credit Agreement in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment and (ii) this Amendment does not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement; and (d) represents and warrants to the Lenders that as of the date hereof, and immediately after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment:  (i) all of the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality in which case such applicable representation and warranty shall be true and correct), except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality in which case such applicable representation and warranty shall be true and correct) as of such specified earlier date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no event, development or circumstance has occurred or exists that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.  
5.3    Loan Document.  This Amendment is a Loan Document.
5.4    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or email transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
5.5    No Oral Agreement.  This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith and therewith represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or unwritten oral agreements of the parties.  There are no subsequent oral agreements between the parties.
5.6    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  Section 12.09(b)-(d) of the Credit Agreement shall be incorporated herein in mutatis mutandis.
5.7    Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Section
2.03                     
Forms Generally.

 

The Securities of each series shall be in
fully registered form and in substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent global form) established by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. The Securities may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, securities exchange rule, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar
governing documents, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement
is in a form acceptable to the Company). A copy of the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms of Securities of any series
shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 2.04 for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities.

 

The definitive Securities of each series
shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined
by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

 

The Trustee’s certificate of authentication
shall be in substantially the following form:

 

“This is one of the Securities of
the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

                                                                            ,
as Trustee

 

By:                                                                                                                     

Authorized Signatory”.

 

Section
2.04                     
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

Two Officers of the Company shall sign the
Securities on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer of the Company whose signature is on a Security
no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

 

A Security shall not be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized
signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security has been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company delivers such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, together with a written
statement (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security
has never been issued and sold by the Company, 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.

 

    10

     

    

 

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, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities for original issue upon a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of such Securities or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified
from time to time by Company Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated, the date on which
the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other terms
of the Securities of such series not otherwise determined. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize
(1) authentication and delivery of Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with certain terms (including,
without limitation, the Maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from Security
to Security and (2) authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing.

 

If the form or terms of the Securities of
the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Section 2.01, in authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Company Order referred to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04),
and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

 

(a)              
an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Board Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action
taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.01; and

 

(b)              
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

 

(i)                 
the form of such Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

 

(ii)               
the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; and

 

(iii)             
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 binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws in effect from time
to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

If all the Securities of any series
are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered
at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of the series to be issued.

 

    11

     

    

 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

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

 

Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication.

 

Section
2.05                     
Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

The Company shall maintain an office or
agency for each series of Securities where Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).
The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities of such series and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint
one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar
and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

 

The Company shall enter into an appropriate
agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions
of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint
or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Subsidiary may act as
Paying Agent or Registrar.

 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee
as Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

Section
2.06                     
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 

The Company shall require each Paying
Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the
Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or
a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all
money held by it as Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA § 317(b).

 

    12

     

    

 

Section
2.07                     
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 Holders and shall otherwise
comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Company shall furnish
to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before each interest payment date (the “Interest Payment Date”) with
respect to such series of Securities, 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 Holders of such series, and the Company shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

 

Section
2.08                     
Transfer and Exchange.

 

Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as
may be provided pursuant to Section 2.01:

 

When Securities of any series are presented
to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an equal principal
amount of Securities of the same series of like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and the requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided,
however, that the Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied
by a written instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by
his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can rely.

 

To permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s written request and
submission of the Securities or Global Securities. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer
or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Securities in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.04. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall
not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to
Article III, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning
15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to repurchase Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms
thereof or of redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing.

 

Section
2.09                     
Replacement Securities.

 

If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been destroyed, lost or stolen and
the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the Trustee’s
requirements are met. If 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. If required by the Trustee
or the Company, such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company
to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

 

Every replacement Security is an additional
obligation of the Company.

 

    13

     

    

 

Section
2.10                     
Outstanding Securities.

 

The Securities outstanding at any time are
all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
defeased pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or discharged pursuant to Section 8.01(a), those reductions in the interest in a Global Security
effected by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding.

 

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

 

If the principal amount of any Security
is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

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

 

Section
2.11                     
Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury Securities.

 

In determining whether the Holders of
the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, (a)
the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and
payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the
principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company
by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified
for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Exchange Rate”) on the date of original
issuance of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the Dollar
equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such Security,
of the amount determined as provided in (a) above), of such Security and (c) Securities owned by the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for
the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

 

    14

     

    

 

Section
2.12                     
Temporary Securities.

 

Until definitive Securities of any series
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall
be substantially in the form of definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange
for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities.

 

Section
2.13                     
Cancellation.

 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to
them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking fund payment. The Trustee
shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, replacement or cancellation
or for credit against any sinking fund. Unless the Company shall direct in writing that canceled Securities be returned to it,
after written notice to the Company all canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the usual
disposal procedures of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal. The Company may not issue new Securities
to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or for credit against any
sinking fund payment.

 

Section
2.14                     
Payments; Defaulted Interest.

 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated
by Section 2.01, interest (except defaulted interest) on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Security at the close of business
on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record date and on
or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Unless
otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company will pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with
respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to
any Securities.

 

If the Company defaults in a payment
of interest on the Securities of any series, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such series and in
Section 4.01. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date.
At least 15 days before any special record date selected by the Company, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at
the expense of the Company upon 20 days’ prior written notice from the Company setting forth such special record date
and the interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

 

    15

     

    

 

Section
2.15                     
Persons Deemed Owners.

 

The Company, the Trustee, any Agent and
any authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose
of receiving payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security
and for all other purposes. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary.

 

Section
2.16                     
Computation of Interest.

 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year
comprising twelve 30-day months.

 

Section
2.17                     
Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions.

 

If Securities of a series are issuable in
global form as a Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 2.01 and the provisions
of Section 2.02, any such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified
therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate,
to reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or
decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and upon
instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of instructions
as is customary for the Depositary for such Security, from such Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial
interest in such Global Security. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. With respect to the Securities of any series that are represented
by a Global Security, the Company authorizes the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a letter of representations or other
similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global Security.
Any Global Security may be deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the Security
Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary.
If a Company Order has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery
or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

    16

     

    

 

Members of, or 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 or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary
may be treated by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Custodian and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered
holder of a Global Security of a series may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons
that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of Securities of such series is entitled to take
under this Indenture or the Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian, or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security.

 

Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except
as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01, transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security
in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Securities shall be transferred
to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series
and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Securities in lieu of all or a portion
of the Global Security (in which case the Company shall deliver Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines
not to have the Securities represented by a Global Security.

 

In connection with any transfer of a portion
of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Registrar shall reflect
on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities
of the same series of like tenor and amount.

 

In connection with the transfer of all the
beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Global Security 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 exchange for its beneficial interests in the Global Security, an equal
aggregate principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations.

 

    17

     

    

 

Neither the Company nor the Trustee
will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of,
Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such
Securities. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the related Global Security Holder or the
Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, instructions from such Global Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the
registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued).

 

The provisions of the last sentence of the
third paragraph of Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was never issued and sold by the Company
and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section
11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount
of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third paragraph
of Section 2.04.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections
2.03 and 2.15, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Global Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified by the Global
Security.

 

Article
III

REDEMPTION

 

Section
3.01                     
Applicability of Article.

 

Securities of any series that are redeemable
before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III.

 

Section
3.02                     
Notice to the Trustee.

 

If the Company elects to redeem Securities
of any series pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities
of such series to be redeemed. The Company shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption
will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series. Any such notice may be canceled at any
time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect.

 

Section
3.03                     
Selection 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 of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from
the outstanding Securities of such series (and tenor) not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis (or, in the
case of Global Securities, based on such method as the Depositary or its nominee or successor may require or, where such
nominee or successor is the Trustee, such method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair
and appropriate, unless otherwise required by law). Any such selection method shall 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 or of the principal amount of Global Securities of such series.

 

    18

     

    

 

  

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
and the Registrar 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 purposes of this Indenture, unless the
context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any of the Securities
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed.

 

Section
3.04                     
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 the address of such Holder appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar.

 

All notices of redemption shall identify
the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(1)              
the Redemption Date;

 

(2)              
the Redemption Price;

 

(3)              
that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases
to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment
of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;

 

(4)              
if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after
the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Security to the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the
aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder;

 

(5)              
that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name
and address of the Paying Agent;

 

(6)              
that the redemption is for a sinking or analogous fund, if such is the case; and

 

(7)              
the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Securities.

 

    19

     

    

 

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 written request, by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company.

 

Section
3.05                     
Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities
called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity is on or
prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business
on the relevant record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01.

 

Section
3.06                     
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 the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as the
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to, the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, other than Securities or portions
thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

If the Company complies with the preceding
paragraph, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed
will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment, and
the Holders of such Securities shall have no further rights with respect to such Securities except for the right to receive the
Redemption Price upon surrender of such Securities. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof
for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided in the Securities
or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such Securities’ yield to maturity.

 

Section
3.07                     
Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

 

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a
Security to be redeemed in part, 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 any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security
so surrendered that is not redeemed.

 

Section
3.08                     
Purchase of Securities.

 

Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company and any Affiliate of the Company may, subject to applicable law, at any time
purchase or otherwise acquire Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not operate
as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities
purchased or acquired by the Company may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented
thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Securities so
delivered.

 

    20

     

    

 

Section
3.09                     
Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

 

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.” Unless otherwise provided 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 3.10. 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 and by this Article III.

 

Section
3.10                     
Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company may deliver outstanding Securities
of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and may apply as a credit Securities of a series that 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 series of Securities;
provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities 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.

 

Section
3.11                     
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter
period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Company 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 delivery of or by crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section
3.10 and will also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Failure of the Company to
timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers’ Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall
not constitute a default but shall constitute the election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such
series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit
Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect
to such series as provided in this Section.

 

    21

     

    

 

If the sinking fund payment or payments
(mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of
any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable
Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Securities) or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request with
respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) or less and the Company
makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid)
is available. Not less than 30 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 3.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.04. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07.

manner provided in the Securities of such series, in this Indenture, and in any supplemental indenture hereto. Principal, premium,
interest and any Additional Amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary)
holds on that date money deposited by the Company designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, interest and any
Additional Amounts then due.

post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium (if any), at a rate equal to
the then applicable interest rate on the Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amount (without regard to any

Section
4.02

the Paying Agent) where Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities
of that series may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities
of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Company by written notice to the Trustee,
such office or agency shall be the office of the Trustee in The City of New York, which on the date hereof is located at 100
Wall St., Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location,

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.

(a)              
If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the

is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the
TIA, but not otherwise, the Company shall also comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information
and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates
or certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.04).

 

(b)              
If the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish
to all Holders of Rule 144A Securities and prospective purchasers of Rule 144A Securities designated by the Holders of Rule 144A
Securities, promptly upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(a)              
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a statement

and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of the Company he would normally
obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by the Company of its obligations under this Indenture, and
further stating that to the best of his knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant
contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions
hereof (or, if a Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge
and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

 

    23

     

    

 

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

 

Section
4.05

Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

 

The Company covenants (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter

the Company 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 had been enacted.

 

Section
4.07                     
Additional Amounts.

 

If the Securities of a series expressly
provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series Additional Amounts
as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or
any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received from the sale or exchange
of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for
in this Section 4.07 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions

all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:

 

(1)               either
(a) the Company shall be the continuing Person or (b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section
6.01                     
Events of Default.

 

Unless either inapplicable to a particular
series or specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series
of Securities or in the form of Security for such series, an “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect
to Securities of any series, occurs if:

 

(1)              
the Company defaults in the payment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of that series
when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

 

(2)              
the Company defaults in the payment of (A) the principal of any Security of that series at its Maturity or (B) premium (if
any) on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable;

 

(3)              
the Company defaults in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series,
and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

 

    25

     

    

 

(4)              
the Company fails to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities of such series
or this Indenture (other than an agreement, covenant or provision that has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for
the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than that series) which shall not have been remedied within the specified
period after written notice, as specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01;

 

(5)              
the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 

(A)              
commences a voluntary case,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(6)              
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
for 90 consecutive days and that:

 

(A)              
is for relief against the Company as debtor in an involuntary case,

 

(B)              
appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or substantially
all of the property of the Company, or

 

(C)              
orders the liquidation of the Company; or

 

(7)              
any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series occurs.

 

The term “Bankruptcy Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

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

 

When a Default is cured, it ceases.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to
any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or
currencies are not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the
Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other
currency, as determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not
then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars
will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

 

    26

     

    

 

A Default under clause (4) or (7) of this
Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Default (or, in the case of a Default under clause (4) of this
Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Securities so affected) notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Company fails to cure
the Default within 90 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state
that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

 

Section
6.02                     
Acceleration.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to any
Securities of any series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause
(4) of Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Event of Default, then at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected) by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of (or,
if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) and all accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding Securities of such series or of all series, as
the case may be, to be due and payable. Upon any such declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities shall be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event
of Default or all series, as the case may be, by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences
(other than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities) if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any
Additional Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

 

Section
6.03                     
Other Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities
or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

 

    27

     

    

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even
if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee
or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

 

Section
6.04                     
Waiver of Defaults.

 

Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) by notice
to the Trustee may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series or all series, as the case
may be, and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of
such series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such series or all series, provided that in
each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series or all series (but the
terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)), except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security or (2) a
continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each
Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

 

Section
6.05                     
Control by Majority.

 

With respect to Securities of any series,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may direct in writing the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 6.01, and with respect
to all Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Securities affected may direct in
writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust
or power conferred on it not relating to or arising under such an Event of Default. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights
of other Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from Holders directing the Trustee against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

 

Section
6.06                     
Limitations on Suits.

 

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder
of a Security of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series only if:

 

    28

     

    

 

(1)              
the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series;

 

(2)              
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request
to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(3)              
such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

 

(4)              
the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

 

(5)              
during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

 

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

 

Section
6.07                     
Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

 

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

 

Section
6.08                     
Collection Suit by Trustee.

 

If an Event of Default specified in clause
(1) or (2) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company for the amount of principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts
remaining unpaid on the Securities of the series affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium,
if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and 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.

 

Section
6.09                     
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

The Trustee is authorized to file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such actions, including participating as a member, voting or
otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or its creditors or properties and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any
Bankruptcy Custodian 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent
that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any
reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section
6.10                     
Priorities.

 

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

 

First: to the Trustee for amounts
due under Section 7.07;

 

Second: to Holders for amounts
due and unpaid on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, for principal,
premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts, respectively; and

 

Third: to the Company.

 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to
the Company, may fix record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Article VI.

 

To the fullest extent allowed under
applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to convert the
sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities
of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The
City of New York next preceding that on which final judgment is given. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable
for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section 6.10 caused
by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the
Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section 6.10 to Holders of
Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Company on the claim or claims underlying
such judgment.

Section
6.11                     
Undertaking for Costs.

 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a trustee, a court in
its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in
the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more
than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series.

 

Article
VII

TRUSTEE

 

Section
7.01                     
Duties of Trustee.

 

(a)              
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

(b)              
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series:

 

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

 

(2)              
in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear
to conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculation
or facts stated therein).

 

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

 

(1)              
this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01;

 

(2)              
the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

 

    31

     

    

 

(3)              
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

 

(d)              
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is
subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

 

(e)              
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee
may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

 

(f)               
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. All
money received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium
(if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities.

 

Section
7.02                     
Rights of Trustee.

proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

(b)              
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require instruction, an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion
of Counsel or both to be provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance
on such instruction, Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult at the Company’s expense
with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

 

(c)              
The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care.

 

(d)              
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

 

(e)              
Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall
be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

 

Section
7.03                     
May Hold Securities.

 

The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is
subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

    32

     

    

 

Section
7.04                     
Trustee’s Disclaimer.

 

The Trustee makes no representation as to
the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds
from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision hereof, it shall
not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not
be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

 

Section
7.05                     
Notice of Defaults.

 

If a Default or Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities
of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event
of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment
with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such series.

 

Section
7.06                     
Reports by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within 60 days after of each year after
the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series and the Company a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described in TIA § 313(a)
has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date with respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to Holders
of such series. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and
as required by TIA §§ 313(c) and 313(d).

 

A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to Holders of a series of Securities shall be filed by the Company with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on
which the Securities of such series are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee if and when any series of Securities is listed
on any securities exchange.

 

Section
7.07                     
Compensation and Indemnity.

 

The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee
for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

The Company hereby indemnifies the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other
than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set forth in the next
following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent.

 

    33

     

    

 

The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

 

To secure the payment obligations of the
Company in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except for any money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to Securities of any series. Such lien and the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section
7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.

 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

Section
7.08                     
Replacement of Trustee.

 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee
and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment
as provided in this Section 7.08.

 

The Trustee may resign and be discharged
at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by
so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

 

(1)              
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

 

(2)              
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law;

 

(3)              
a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 

(4)              
the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

 

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

 

    34

     

    

 

If a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
or removed Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then 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.

 

If the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of a series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

In case of the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to all Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

 

In case of the appointment 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 (but not all) series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers 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 confirm that
all the rights, powers 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. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust,
and 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. 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 shall have all the rights, powers
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. On request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee
all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates.

 

    35

     

    

 

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee
or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the Company under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

 

So long as no Event of Default, or no event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing,
and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by the act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of then outstanding
Securities of any series, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (1) a Board Resolution appointing a successor Trustee,
effective as of a date specified therein (which date shall be no sooner than 45 days after the date of such delivery, unless a
shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), and (2) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such
date, by such successor Trustee, then the Trustee shall be deemed removed, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed
by the Company and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated, all as of such date, and all other provisions
of this Section 7.08 shall be applicable to such removal, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this
paragraph.

 

Section
7.09                     
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

 

Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of
a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, the transferee corporation expressly
assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder.

 

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall
not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

 

Section
7.10                     
Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
which shall be a corporation or banking or trust company or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority and shall have, or be a subsidiary
of a bank or bank holding company having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent
published annual report of condition.

 

The Indenture shall always have a
Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is subject to and
shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 310(b) during the period of time required by this Indenture. Nothing in this
Indenture shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA
§ 310(b).

 

    36

     

    

 

Section
7.11                     
Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.

 

The Trustee is subject to and shall comply
with the provisions of TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

all outstanding Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and issued (other than
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(B)              
all outstanding Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

 

(i)                 
have become due and payable, or

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

 

(iii)             
are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

 

and, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as funds (immediately available to
the Holders in the case of clause (i)) in trust for such purpose (x) cash in an amount, or (y) Government Obligations,
maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of cash in an amount
or (z) a combination thereof, which will be sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (y) and (z)) of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to

deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the
Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; or

 

    37

the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion

(b)              
Unless this Section 8.01(b) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 2.01,
the Company may, at its option, terminate certain of its obligations under this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) with
respect to the Securities of a series if:

 

(1)              
the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders
of Securities of such series, (i) money in the currency in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount,
or (ii) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts
as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which payment of the Securities of such series is to be made in an
amount or (iii) a combination thereof, that is sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, premium (if
any) or interest is due and payable and (at the Stated Maturity thereof or upon redemption as provided in Section 8.01(e)) to pay
all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money
and/or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect
to the Securities of such series as the same shall become due;

 

(2)              
the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction

(3)              
no Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit;

 

    38

     

    

 

(4)              
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to
the Trustee or a tax ruling to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.01(b) and will be subject to U.S. 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 option had not been
exercised;

 

(5)              
the Company has complied with any additional conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the discharge
of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01; and

 

(6)              
such deposit and discharge shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA § 310(b).

 

In such event, this Indenture shall cease
to be of further effect (except as set forth in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge under this Indenture. However, the Company’s obligations in Sections
2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08 and 8.04, the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section
8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive until all Securities
of such series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Section 7.07 and the Trustee’s
and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 8.03 shall survive with respect to Securities of such series.

 

After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant
to this Section 8.01 and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing
the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series except for
those surviving obligations specified above.

 

In order to have money available on a payment
date to pay principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities, the Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal
or interest on or before such payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. Government Obligations shall not
be callable at the issuer’s option.

 

(c)              
If the Company has previously complied or is concurrently complying with Section 8.01(b) (other than any additional conditions
specified pursuant to Section 2.01 that are expressly applicable only to covenant defeasance) with respect to Securities of a series,
then, unless this Section 8.01(c) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of such series as contemplated by Section
2.01, the Company may elect that its obligations to make payments with respect to Securities of such series be discharged (“Legal
Defeasance”), if:

 

(1)              
no Event of Default under clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.01 hereof shall have occurred at any time during the period ending
on the 91st day after the date of deposit contemplated by Section 8.01(b) (it being understood that this condition shall not be
deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

 

    39

     

    

 

(2)              
unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company has delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect referred to in
Section 8.01(b)(4) with respect to such legal defeasance, which opinion is based on (i) a private ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service addressed to the Company, (ii) a published ruling of the Internal Revenue Service pertaining to a comparable form of transaction
or (iii) a change in the applicable federal income tax law (including regulations) after the date of this Indenture;

 

(3)              
the Company has complied with any other conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the legal defeasance
of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01(c); and

 

(4)              
the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request requesting such legal defeasance of the Securities of such series
and an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such legal defeasance of the Securities
of such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect.

 

In such event, the Company will be discharged
from its obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series, the Company’s obligations under Sections 4.01 and
4.02 shall terminate with respect to such Securities, and the entire indebtedness of the Company evidenced by such Securities shall
be deemed paid and discharged.

 

(d)              
If and to the extent additional or alternative means of satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of Securities of a series
are specified to be applicable to such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company may terminate any or all of its obligations
under this Indenture with respect to Securities of a series and any or all of its obligations under the Securities of such series
if it fulfills such other means of satisfaction and discharge as may be so specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable
to the Securities of such series.

 

(e)              
If Securities of any series subject to subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8.01 are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking
fund provisions, the terms of the applicable trust arrangement shall provide for such redemption, and the Company shall make such
arrangements as are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company.

 

Section
8.02                     
Application of Trust Money.

 

The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Company shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof.
It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities
of the series with respect to which the deposit was made. Money and securities held in trust are not subject to Article X.

 

    40

     

    

 

Section
8.03                     
Repayment to Company.

 

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
pay to the Company any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held by them at any time upon the written
request of the Company.

 

Subject to the requirements of any applicable
abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them
for the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remain unclaimed for two years after the
date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability
of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

 

Section
8.04                     
Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money or Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.01
by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series and under the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium (if
any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

Section 9.06, join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this
Indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

 

Section
9.02                     
With Consent of Holders.

 

Except as provided below in this Section
9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the written consent (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of any one or more series or all series or a solicitation of
consents in respect of Securities of any one or more series or all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation
is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of each such series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary
from series to series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series
affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class).

 

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied
by a Board Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt
by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Company in
the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Securities of one or more series or of all series may waive compliance in a particular instance by the
Company with any provision of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (including waivers obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities of such
series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such
series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)).

 

However, without the consent of each Holder
of each Outstanding Security affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

 

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

 

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

 

(3)              
reduce the principal of, any premium on or any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated Maturity
of, any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon
a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

 

    43

     

    

 

(4)              
reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or
shall be redeemed;

 

(5)              
change any obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Security;

 

(6)              
change the place, coin or currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which any Security or any premium,
interest or Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable;

 

(7)              
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06;

 

(8)              
make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions
of this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in this sentence of Section 9.02;

 

(9)              
modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of any Security in a manner adverse to the Holder
thereof; or

 

(10)          
waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities.

 

An amendment under this Section 9.02 may
not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article X of any holder of an issue of Senior Debt unless the holders
of the issue pursuant to its terms consent to the change.

 

A supplemental indenture that 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 Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to
such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of
any other series.

 

The right of any Holder to participate in
any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to obtain any such
consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record
of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Company in a notice furnished
to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver
under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Security affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 

    44

     

    

 

Section
9.03                     
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture
or the Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section
9.04                     
Revocation and Effect of Consents.

 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security
or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent
is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Security or
portion of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before a date and time therefor identified by the Company
in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be identified,
the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date (which need not comply with TIA § 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent
to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder
for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section
9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

 

Section
9.05                     
Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

 

If an amendment or supplement changes the
terms of an outstanding Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee
may place an appropriate notation on the Security at the request of the Company regarding the changed terms and return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security
shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

 

Securities of any series authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplement.

 

    45

     

    

 

Section
9.06                     
Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or
supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities
or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment
or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Company as conclusive evidence that
such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will
be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

Article
X

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

 

Section
10.01                 
Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt.

 

The Company and each Holder of a Security
of a series, by his acceptance thereof, agree that (a) the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to each and all the Securities of such series and (b) any other payment in respect of the Securities
of such series, including on account of the acquisition or redemption of Securities of such series by the Company, is subordinated,
to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article X, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and that these subordination
provisions are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.

 

This Article X shall constitute a continuing
offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions
are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them
may enforce such provisions.

 

Section
10.02                 
No Payment on Securities in Certain Circumstances.

 

(a)              
Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 2.01, no payment shall be
made by or on behalf of the Company on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with
respect to the Securities of any series or to acquire any Securities of such series (including any repurchases of Securities of
such series pursuant to the provisions thereof at the option of the Holder thereof) for cash or property, or on account of any
redemption provisions of Securities of such series, in the event of default in payment of any principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on any Senior Debt of the Company when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment
or by acceleration of maturity or otherwise (a “Payment Default”), unless and until such Payment Default has been cured
or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist or such Senior Debt shall have been discharged or paid in full.

 

(b)               In
furtherance of the provisions of Section 10.01, in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.02, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company shall be received by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Holders
of Securities of any series at a time when such payment or distribution was prohibited by the provisions of this Section
10.02, then, unless such payment or distribution is no longer prohibited by this Section 10.02, such payment or distribution
(subject to the provisions of Section 10.07) shall be received and held in trust by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or such
Holder for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or such Holders, as the case may be, to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company remaining unpaid or unprovided
for or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any
instruments evidencing such Senior Debt of the Company may have been issued, ratably, according to the aggregate amounts
remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Debt of the Company held or represented by each, for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to all concurrent payments and distributions to or for the holders of such Senior
Debt.

 

    46

     

    

 

Section
10.03                 
Securities Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization.

 

Upon any distribution of assets of the Company
or upon any dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary,
in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors:

 

(1)              
the holders of all Senior Debt of the Company shall first be entitled to receive payments in full before the Holders of
Securities of any series are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series;

 

(2)              
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
to which the Holders of Securities of any series or the Trustee on behalf of such Holders would be entitled, except for the provisions
of this Article X, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such a payment or distribution directly
to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative, ratably according to the respective amounts of Senior Debt held or
represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect
to all concurrent payments and distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt; and

 

(3)               in
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of Securities of any series or any
Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, money for any such payment or distribution
shall be segregated or held in trust) on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, such payment or
distribution (subject to the provisions of Section 10.07) shall be received and held in trust by the Trustee or such Holder
or Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt, or their respective representatives, ratably according to
the respective amounts of such Senior Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment as provided
herein of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to all concurrent payments and distributions and all
provisions therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt, but only to the extent that as to any holder of such Senior
Debt, as promptly as practical following notice from the Trustee to the holders of such Senior Debt that such prohibited
payment has been received by the Trustee, Holder(s) or Paying Agent (or has been segregated as provided above), such holder
(or a representative therefor) notifies the Trustee of the amounts then due and owing on such Senior Debt, if any, held by
such holder and only the amounts specified in such notices to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of such Senior
Debt.

 

    47

     

    

 

Section
10.04                   
Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Debt of the Company as provided herein, the Holders of the Securities of any series shall be subrogated (to the extent of the payments
or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article X) to the rights of the holders
of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until all amounts
owing on the Securities of such series shall be paid in full. For the purpose of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions
to the holders of such Senior Debt by the Company, or by or on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of such series by virtue
of this Article X, which otherwise would have been made to such Holders shall, as between the Company and such Holders, be deemed
to be payment by the Company or on account of such Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article X are and
are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities of a series, on the one hand,
and the holders of such Senior Debt, on the other hand.

 

If any payment or distribution to which
the Holders of the Securities would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article X shall have been applied,
pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, to the payment of amounts payable under Senior Debt of the Company, then such Holders
shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Debt any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior
Debt in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in respect of such Senior Debt in full.

 

Section
10.05                   
Obligations of the Company Unconditional.

 

Nothing contained in this Article X or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the Holders of
the Securities of any series, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Holders the
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of such Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or
therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article X, of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash,
property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Article X or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities, upon any distribution of assets of the Company
referred to in this Article X, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and
7.02, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate
of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders for the purpose
of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Debt of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article X so long as such court has been apprised of the provisions of, or the order, decree or
certificate makes reference to, the provisions of this Article X.

 

    48

     

    

 

Section
10.06                 
Trustee Entitled to Assume Payments Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice.

 

The Trustee shall not at any time be charged
with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall have received, no later than two Business Days prior to such payment,
written notice thereof from the Company or from one or more holders of Senior Debt or from any representative thereof and, prior
to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled
in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists.

 

Section
10.07                 
Application by Trustee of Amounts Deposited with It.

 

Amounts deposited in trust with the Trustee
pursuant to and in accordance with Article VIII shall be for the sole benefit of Holders of Securities of the series for the benefit
of which such amounts were deposited, and, to the extent allocated for the payment of Securities of such series, shall not be subject
to the subordination provisions of this Article X. Otherwise, any deposit of assets with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (whether
or not in trust) for the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Securities of any series shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03 and 10.04; provided that if
prior to two Business Days preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any such assets may become distributable
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security), a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have received with respect
to such assets the written notice provided for in Section 10.06, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have full power and
authority to receive such assets and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary that may be received by it on or after such date; and provided further that nothing contained
in this Article X shall prevent the Company from making, or the Trustee from receiving or applying, any payment in connection with
the redemption of Securities of a series if the first publication of notice of such redemption (whether by mail or otherwise in
accordance with this Indenture) has been made, and the Trustee has received such payment from the Company, prior to the occurrence
of any of the contingencies specified in Section 10.02 or 10.03.

Section
10.08                 
Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Company or Holders of Senior Debt.

 

No right of any present or future holders
of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination provisions contained in this Article X shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder
may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Debt may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Debt
or any security therefor and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with the Company, all without affecting
the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Holders of the Securities of any series.

 

Section
10.09                   
Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of Securities.

 

Each Holder of a Security of any series
by his acceptance thereof authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provisions contained in this Article X and to protect the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of such series pursuant to this Indenture, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including,
in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or
receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company), the filing of a claim for the unpaid
balance of his Securities in the form required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved. If the Trustee does not
file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time
to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Debt or their representative is hereby authorized to have the right
to file and is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of Securities of such series. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their representative to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of Securities of any series any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the
holders of Senior Debt or their representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of the Securities of such series in
any such proceeding.

 

Section
10.10                   
Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Debt.

 

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall
be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Article X in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it to the same extent
as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights
as such holder.

 

Section
10.11                   
Article X Not to Prevent Events of Default.

 

The failure to make a payment on
account of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities of any series by reason of any provision of this
Article X shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 with
respect to Securities of such series or in any way prevent the Holders of the Securities of such series from exercising any
right hereunder other than the right to receive payment on the Securities of such series.

Section
10.12                   
No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Senior Debt.

 

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders (other than for its willful misconduct
or negligence) if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of the Securities of any series or the
Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article X or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 10.12 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment
for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their representative.

 

Section
10.13                    
Article Applicable to Paying Agent.

 

In case at any time any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used
in this Article X shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such
Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article X in addition
to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that this Section 10.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Subsidiary
if the Company or such Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent.
