any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without prior notice to any Securityholder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. 
 If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for any series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its
Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar. 
 The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar and Paying
Agent for each series of Securities unless another Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that series are first issued. 
 SECTION 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 Whenever the Company has one or more Paying Agents it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on, any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of the Securityholders of the particular series for which it is acting, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of such series, and that such Paying Agent will notify the
Trustee of any Default by the Company or any other obligor of the series of Securities in making any such payment and at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all
sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. If the Company or an Affiliate acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders of the particular series for which it is acting all money
held by it as Paying Agent. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon so doing, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for
such money. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 
  

 8 

 SECTION 2.05 Securityholder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders, separately by series, and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven business days before each interest payment date and at such
other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders, separately by series, relating to such interest payment date or request,
as the case may be. 
 SECTION 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 
 Where Securities of a series are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. 
 No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.13, 3.06 or 9.04). 
 The Company need not issue, and the Registrar
or co-Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of, (i) any Security of a particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities of that series for redemption
under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, or (ii) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security of that series being redeemed in part.

 SECTION 2.07 Replacement Securities. 
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
replacement Security of same series if the Company’s and the Trustee’s requirements are met. The Trustee or the Company may require an indemnity bond to be furnished which is sufficient in the judgment of both to protect the Company, the
Trustee, and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing a Security. 
 Every replacement Security is an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all the benefit of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series. 
  

 9 

 SECTION 2.08 Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the Securities of that series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.07, 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 Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security; however, TIA Section 316(a) shall apply where appropriate. 
 For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to
determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration upon an Event
of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the Company shall advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail. 
 SECTION 2.09 Temporary Securities. 
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company. 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. 
 Holders of temporary securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of
this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.10 Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall return such canceled Securities to the
Company at the Company’s written request. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

 10 

 SECTION 2.11 Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on any series of Securities, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any
interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a subsequent
special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Security. The Company shall fix any such record date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before
any such record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders affected thereby a notice that states the record date, payment date, and amount of such interest to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.12 Special Record Dates. 
  

	 	(a)	The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver
permitted by this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Holders remain 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 of that
series required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any series of Securities entitled to join in the giving or
making of any notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to institute proceedings or any other similar direction. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to
the date 90 days after such record date. 

 SECTION 2.13 Global Securities. 
  

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

  

	 	(b)	 Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.06 of this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global
Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such 

  

 11 

	 	 
Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within
90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 

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

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

 “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), New
York, New York, to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC
(and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or such other entity as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, Cede & Co. has an interest herein. Transfer of this Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor thereof or such successor’s nominee and limited
to transfers made in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Indenture referred to herein.” 
  

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

  

	 	(e)	Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 hereof, payment of the principal of and
interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Person specified therein. 

  

 12 

	 	(f)	Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a Person as the Holder of
such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations
or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 

 SECTION 2.14 CUSIP Numbers.

 The Company in issuing any series of Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on such Securities or as contained in any
notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such action relating to such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers in such notice. The Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3. 
 REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01
Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series pursuant to any optional redemption provisions
thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed. 
 If the
Company elects to reduce the principal amount of Securities of any series to be redeemed pursuant to mandatory redemption provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of, and the basis for, any such reduction. If the Company elects
to credit against any such mandatory redemption Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, it shall deliver such Securities with such notice. 
 The Company shall give the notice provided for in this Section at least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), which notice shall specify the provisions of such Security pursuant to which the Company elects to redeem such Securities. 
 SECTION 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
 If less than all the securities of
any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of that series to be redeemed by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the Securities of that series are listed, or, if the Securities of that
series are not listed on an exchange, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection not more than 75 days and not less than 30 days before the redemption date from Securities of that series
outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, Securities and 
  

 13 

 portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities
of the series to be redeemed or any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in
writing of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

 Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify the
Securities of the series to be redeemed and shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	the redemption date; 

  

	 	(2)	the redemption price; 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(6)	that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

  

	 	(7)	the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed. 

 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or
not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice of the Holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Security. 
 SECTION 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date for the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Securities will be paid at the redemption price. 
  

 14 

 SECTION 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Affiliate is the Paying Agent, shall
segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Securities called for redemption on that date, other than Securities that have previously been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying
Agent shall return to the Company any money not required for that purpose. 
 SECTION 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part. 

 Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the
expense of the Company a new Security of same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
 ARTICLE 4. 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 4.01 Payment of Securities. 
 The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the
principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in this Indenture and the Securities. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or an Affiliate,
holds on that date immediately available funds designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. 
 To the extent
lawful, the Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the applicable series of Securities. 
 SECTION 4.02 Commission Reports. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days
after it files them with the Commission copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company
is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential
treatment by the Commission. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 
 SECTION 4.03
Compliance Certificate. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an Officers Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company, they would normally have knowledge of any failure by the Company to comply with all conditions, or default by
the Company with respect to any covenants, under this Indenture, and further stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such failure or default and, if so, specifying each such failure or default and the nature thereof. For purposes of this
Section, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided for in this Indenture. The certificate need not comply with Section 10.03 hereof. 
  

 15 

 The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith
upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 ARTICLE 5. 
 SUCCESSORS

 SECTION 5.01 When Company May Merge, etc. 
 Unless the terms of the Securities of a series provide otherwise, the Company shall not consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is
the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to any Person unless: 
  

	 	(1)	the Company is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; 

  

	 	(2)	the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition shall have been made assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture; and 

  

	 	(3)	immediately prior to and after giving effect to the transaction no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee on or prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers Certificate to the foregoing effect and
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture. 
 SECTION 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any transfer by the
Company (other than by lease) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company 
  

 16 

 herein. In the event of any such transfer, the predecessor Company shall be released and discharged from all liabilities
and obligations in respect of the Securities and the Indenture, and the predecessor Company may be dissolved, wound up or liquidated at any time thereafter. 
 ARTICLE 6. 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01 Events of Default. 
 An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Securities of any particular series if, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, Officers Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto, it is provided that such series shall not
have the benefit of said Event of Default: 
  

	 	(1)	the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable, and the Default continues for a period of 30 days;

  

	 	(2)	the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;

  

	 	(3)	an Event of Default, as defined in the Securities of that series, occurs and is continuing, or the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the Securities of that
series or in this Indenture with respect to that series and the Default continues for the period and after the notice specified below; 

  

	 	(4)	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 Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

  

	 	d)	makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

  

	 	e)	admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as the same become due. 

  

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

  

	 	a)	is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case; 

  

 17 

	 	b)	appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

  

	 	c)	orders the liquidation of the Company; 

 and the order or
decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 
  

	 	(6)	any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series which is specified in a Board Resolution, Officers Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing
that series of Securities. 

 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law
for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of that series notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 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.” Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if so requested in writing by the Holders of 50% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series. 
 SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders
of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the unpaid principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be
provided for in such Securities) of and any accrued interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, the principal (or such lesser amount) and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of
Default specified in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.01 occurs, all of such amount shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration 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 that series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
with respect to that series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. 
 SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of that series or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities of that series or this Indenture. 
  

 18 

 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 Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the
Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Defaults.

 Subject to Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series, by notice
to the Trustee, may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to that series and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund or like payment) of
or interest on any Security of that series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default
that resulted from such acceleration). 
 SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy with respect to that series available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of another Holder of Securities of that series, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action which it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction.

 SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder of Securities of any series may not pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
  

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

  

	 	(2)	the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that 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 and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and 

 

 19 

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

 No Holder of any series of Securities may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of
Securities of that series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of that series. 
 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 interest, if any, on 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, 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 Section 6.01(l) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal (or such portion of the principal as may be specified as due upon acceleration at that time in the terms of that series of
Securities) and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Securities of that series then outstanding, together with (to the extent lawful) interest on overdue principal and interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and, to the extent lawful, expenses of collection, including 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 hereof. 

SECTION 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative
to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled to and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,
and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings 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 agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
  

 20 

 SECTION 6.10 Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 ARTICLE 7. 
 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 their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture or the TIA and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set
forth in this Indenture or the TIA and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  

 21 

	 	(ii)	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, in the case of any certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other 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:

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	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
hereof. 

  

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

  

	 	(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 security and 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. Absent written instruction from the Company,
the Trustee shall not be required to invest any such money. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

 SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to TIA Section 315(a) through (d): 
  

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

  

 22 

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

  

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

  

	 	(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 under the Indenture, unless
the Trustee’s conduct constitutes negligence. 

  

	 	(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.

  

	 	(f)	The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and may rely upon the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel. 

 The Trustee shall be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default only if a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
receives at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee written notice of any event that is in fact a Default or Event of Default, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular series, as the case may be, and
this Indenture. 
 SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 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 an Affiliate
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311. 
 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, and it shall not be responsible for 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 if the Trustee is deemed to have notice
thereof, the Trustee shall mail to all Holders of Securities of that 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 on any such Security, the Trustee
may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of such Securityholders. 
  

 23 

 SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall mail to Holders of Securities of that series as
provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (if such report is required by TIA Section 313(a)). The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 313(b).

 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each
stock exchange on which any of the Securities are listed, as required by TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange, and of any delisting thereof. 
 SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services hereunder. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon written request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee for any loss, liability, damage, claims or expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of
the Trustee) incurred by it, without negligence or bad faith on its part, in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties hereunder. 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. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior
to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 
 If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(4) or (5) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law. 
 This Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 
  

 24 

 SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with
respect to one or more or all series of Securities by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as to that series by so notifying the
Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities if: 
  

	 	(a)	the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

  

	 	(b)	the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  

	 	(c)	a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

  

	 	(d)	the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

 If, as to any
series of Securities, the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series. Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect
to any series takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If a successor Trustee as to a
particular series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.10 hereof with respect to any series, any Holder of Securities of that series who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee for that series. 
 A successor Trustee as to any series of Securities shall deliver a written acceptance
of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, 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
hereof), 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 Trustee under this Indenture as to that series. The successor Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succession to the Holders of Securities of that series. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series shall execute and 

  

 25 

 
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall contain such provisions as
shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; provided, however, that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a
trust hereunder separate and apart from any trust 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, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee as to any series of Securities 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 as to that series. 
 SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

Each series of Securities shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee as to
any series of Securities shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b). 
 SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8. 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 This Indenture shall upon Company Order cease to be of
further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when 
  

	 	(a)	either 

  

	 	(i)	all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to

	 	(3)	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, or 

  

	 	(4)	are deemed paid and discharged pursuant to Section 8.03, as applicable; 

 and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount sufficient for the purpose of paying and discharging the
entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and payable on or prior to the date of such
deposit) or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 
  

	 	(b)	the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this section or if money or obligations shall have been deposited with
or received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 8.02 and 8.05 hereof shall survive. 
 SECTION 8.02 Application of Trust Funds; Indemnification. 
  

	 	(a)	 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof and all money 

  

 27 

	 	 
received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof, shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.03 and 8.04
hereof. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections
8.03 or 8.04 hereof or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. 

  

	 	(c)	The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any U.S. Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.03 or 8.04
hereof that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have been
required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government obligations held under this Indenture.

 SECTION 8.03 Legal Defeasance of Securities of any Series. 
 Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified to be inapplicable to Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding Securities of any such series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such
outstanding Securities of such series, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to: 
  

	 	(a)	the rights of Holders of the Securities of such series to receive, from the trust funds described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of each installment of principal

deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; 

  

	 	(h)	the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the
Securities of such series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; 

  

	 	(i)	such deposit shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), or such trust
shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder; and 

  

 29 

	 	(j)	the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the defeasance

or by which it is bound; 

  

	 	(c)	No Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the

unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
 ARTICLE 9. 
 SUPPLEMENTS, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 SECTION 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. 
 The Company and the Trustee as to any series of Securities may
supplement or amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder: 
  

	 	(1)	to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

  

	 	(2)	to comply with Article 5; 

  

	 	(3)	to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 

  

	 	(4)	to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

  

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

  

 31 

	 	(6)	to make any change that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Securityholders of any series; or 

  

	 	(7)	to establish additional series of Securities as permitted by Section 2.01 hereof. 

 SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders. 
 Subject to Section 6.07, the Company and the
Trustee as to any series of Securities may amend this Indenture or the Securities of that series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series affected by the amendment,
with each such series voting as a separate class. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may also waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture
with respect to that series or the Securities of that series; provided, however, that without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 
  

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

  

	 	(2)	reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous provision; 

  

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

  

	 	(4)	reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or waive a redemption payment or alter the redemption provisions with respect thereto; 

 

	 	(5)	make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security (including defaulted interest); 

  

	 	(6)	reduce the principal amount of original Issue Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 

  

	 	(7)	make any change in Section 6.04, 6.07 or 9.02 (this sentence); or 

  

	 	(8)	waive a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Security, except to the extent otherwise provided for in Section 6.02 hereof. 

An amendment or waiver under this Section that waives, changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been
included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or that 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. 
  

 32 

 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 The Company shall
mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. 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 supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of the Security or portion of the Security that evidences the
same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security; provided, however, that unless a record date shall have been established pursuant to Section 2.12(a) hereof, 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 the notice of revocation before the date on which the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver shall become
effective on receipt by the Trustee of consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage of principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, and thereafter shall bind every Holder of Securities of that series. 
 SECTION 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
 If an amendment or waiver changes the terms of a Security: (a) the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee, the Trustee may, at the written direction of the Company and at the
Company’s expense, place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security thereafter authenticated; or (b) if the Company or the
Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. 
 SECTION 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall receive an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment or waiver proposed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment or waiver if the same does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Table of Contents

 Article 1. General Provisions 
 Section 1.1. Purpose. 
  

	(a)	This Plan is maintained to provide Participants an opportunity to defer compensation that would otherwise be currently payable to such Participants. 

 

	(b)	This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated
employees within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Income Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

 Section 1.2. History of
the Plan. 
  

	(a)	Before 2005, the Company provided deferred compensation benefits under a plan known as the “McCormick & Company, Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan,”
which was effective January 1, 2000 (the “2000 Plan”). On December 23, 2004, the 2000 Plan was frozen effective January 1, 2005, and no further deferrals were permitted under the 2000 Plan after 2004. All benefits under the
2000 Plan were vested as of December 31, 2004. 

  

	(b)	This Plan was first effective January 1, 2005, and it incorporated the terms of the 2000 Plan, except to the extent those terms were inconsistent with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code. Since January 1, 2005, the Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the applicable guidance thereunder. 

 Section 1.3. Effective Date. 
 The Plan, as amended and restated
in this document, is effective January 1, 2005.

“Common Stock,” subsection (b)(2)(H) of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Charter”)) of the Company’s (A) voting common stock, (B) non-voting common stock, and

securities of the Company that any such person has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, which shall be deemed beneficially owned by such person), provided, however,

 Notwithstanding the definition of Change in Control Event set forth in this Section 2.1(h), if a Change in Control Event occurs and such event does
not constitute a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control,” or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such event
shall not constitute a Benefit Distribution Date and shall not be treated as a triggering event for any payments otherwise scheduled to be made following a Change in Control Event.

	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 4

	 	 
beyond the control of the Participant. The circumstances that constitute an unforeseeable emergency will be determined by the Committee and shall depend upon
the facts of each case, provided that a Financial Emergency shall not be deemed to exist to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved: 

  

	 	(1)	through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,

 Article 4. Contributions and Accounts 
 Section 4.1. Deferral Contributions. 
  

	(a)	Amounts Eligible for Deferral. Subject to Section 4.1(b) and (c): 

  

	 	(1)	Base Annual Salary. A Participant may designate a whole percentage (or, if permitted by the Committee, a fixed dollar amount) to be deducted from his Base Annual Salary. Such
amount shall be deducted from each regularly scheduled payment of Base Annual Salary. 

  

	 	(2)	Bonus. A Participant may designate a fixed dollar amount, a whole percentage, or a percentage above a fixed dollar amount to be deducted from his Bonus. If a fixed dollar
amount is designated by the Participant to be deducted from any Bonus payment and such fixed dollar amount exceeds the Bonus actually payable to the Participant, the entire amount of such Bonus shall be deducted. 

  

	 	(3)	Directors’ Fees. A Participant may designate a whole percentage (or, if permitted by the Committee, a fixed dollar amount) to be deducted from his directors’ fees.
Such amount shall be deducted from each regularly scheduled payment of directors’ fees. 

  

	(b)	Minimum Deferral. 

 For any Plan Year, no deferral
election shall be valid unless it is at least equal to the following minimum percentages: 
  

				
	 Type of Compensation
	  	Minimum Deferral
Percentage	 
	 Base Annual Salary
	  	10	%
	 Bonus
	  	10	%

 If an Election Form is submitted which would yield less than the stated minimum amounts, the amount
deferred shall be zero. 
  

	(c)	Maximum Deferral. 

 For any Plan Year, no deferral
election shall be valid to the extent that it exceeds the following maximum percentages:

	 Bonus
	  	80	%

	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 8

 If an Election Form is submitted which would yield more than the stated maximum amounts, the amount
deferred shall be the maximum amount as set forth above. 
  

	(d)	Time of Crediting Deferral Contributions. 

 Deferral
Contributions shall be deemed to be made to the Plan by the Participant on the date the Participant would have received such compensation had it not been deferred pursuant to the Plan. 
 Section 4.2. Elections to Defer. 
  

	(a)	Subject to the requirements of this Article 4, a Participant may elect to defer the receipt of Base Annual Salary and/or Bonus during any Plan Year. 

 

	(b)	The Participant’s intent to defer shall be evidenced by an annual Election Form, completed and submitted (either electronically or in writing) to the Committee or its
designee in accordance with such procedures and time frames as may be established by the Committee. 

  

	(c)	Amounts deferred by a Participant with respect to a given Plan Year shall be referred to collectively as Deferral Contributions and shall be credited to a Deferral
Contribution Account established in the name of the Participant. The Deferral Contribution Account shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement of amounts to be paid to the Participant under the Plan. The Deferral Contribution Account
shall not be, constitute or be treated as an escrow, trust fund, or any other type of funded account for Code or ERISA purposes, and amounts credited to any such account shall not be considered “plan assets” for ERISA purposes. The
Deferral Contribution Account merely provides a record of the bookkeeping entries relating to the benefits that the Employer intends to provide Participant and shall thus reflect a mere unsecured promise to pay such amounts in the future.

  

	(d)	The Election Form must be submitted by the end of the immediately preceding Plan Year in order to be deemed timely for the following Plan Year with respect to deferrals of
Base Annual Salary, except that a newly eligible Participant shall be permitted to submit an Election Form within 30 days of first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(a)(7).

  

	(e)	 The Election Form must be submitted by the end of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year for which the Bonus is earned in order to be deemed timely for the
following Plan 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 9

	 	 
Year with respect to deferrals of Bonus, except that (1) a newly eligible Participant shall be permitted to submit an Election Form within 30 days of
first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-2(a)(7), and (2) the Committee shall be permitted to treat as timely an Election Form that is submitted at least six months before the end of the
applicable performance cycle with respect to deferrals of Bonus that constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the elections otherwise comply with the requirements of Treas. Reg.
§ 1.409A-2(a)(8). 

  

	(f)	An Election Form shall be effective only with respect to (1) Base Annual Salary earned in the Plan Year to which the Election Form applies and (2) Bonuses earned
for the Plan Year for which the Election Form applies (not Bonuses paid in the Plan Year for which the Election Form applies). 

  

	(g)	If a Participant fails to submit an Election Form with respect to Base Salary for a Plan Year or fails to submit such form on a timely basis, the Participant shall not make
Deferral Contributions with respect to Base Salary during the Plan Year. If a Participant fails to submit an Election Form with respect to Bonus for a Plan Year or fails to submit such form on a timely basis, the Participant shall not make Deferral
Contributions with respect to the Participant’s Bonus earned during the Plan Year. 

 Section 4.3. Suspension of Deferrals. 

  

	(a)	Financial Emergencies. If a Participant experiences a Financial Emergency, the Participant may petition the Committee to suspend any deferrals required to be made by
the Participant pursuant to his current Election Form. The Committee shall determine whether to approve the Participant’s petition. If the petition for a suspension is approved, suspension shall commence upon the date of approval and shall
continue until the end of the Plan Year during which the Financial Emergency occurs. The Participant’s eligibility for Discretionary Contributions may also be similarly suspended. 

  

	(b)	Disability. If a Participant is deemed to have suffered a Disability, any current Election Form of the Participant shall automatically be suspended and no further
deferrals shall be required to be made by the Participant pursuant to his current Election Form as of the date on which the Participant incurs the Disability. 

  

	(c)	If a Participant’s Deferral Contributions are suspended pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or (b), the Committee may also suspend the Participant’s eligibility for
Discretionary Contributions. 

 Section 4.4. Discretionary Contributions. 
  

	(a)	A Participant may be credited with Discretionary Contributions for any Plan Year in which such amounts are declared by the applicable Employer with respect to the
Participant. Such Discretionary Contributions shall be credited to a Discretionary Contribution Account in the name of the Participant. 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 10

	(b)	The applicable Employer shall have sole discretion to determine with respect to each Plan Year and each Participant (1) whether any Discretionary Contribution was
declared with respect to the Participant, (2) the amount of such Discretionary Contribution, (3) the date as of which such Discretionary Contribution shall be credited to a Participant’s Discretionary Contribution Account, and
(4) any other condition (such as vesting) that applies with respect to such Discretionary Contribution. 

  

	(c)	The Discretionary Contribution Account shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement of amounts to be paid to the Participant under the Plan. The Discretionary
Contribution Account shall not be, constitute or be treated as an escrow, trust fund, or any other type of funded account for Code or ERISA purposes, and amounts credited to such an account shall not be considered “plan assets” for ERISA
purposes. The Discretionary Contribution Account merely provides a record of the bookkeeping entries relating to the benefits that the Employer intends to provide Participant and shall thus reflect a mere unsecured promise to pay such amounts in the
future. 

 Section 4.5. Selection of Hypothetical Investments. 
  

	(a)	The Committee shall provide each Participant with a list of Hypothetical Investments available under the Plan. From time to time, the Committee may revise the Hypothetical
Investments available within the Plan. 

  

	(b)	The Participant shall, via his Investment Allocation Form(s) and his Investment Re-Allocation Form(s), select one or more Hypothetical Investments among which his various
contributions shall be allocated. 

  

	 	(1)	Investment Allocation Form. The document that (A) shall apply with respect to those Deferral Contributions and Discretionary Contributions made to the Plan after the
effective date of the Investment Allocation Form but before the effective date of a timely filed subsequent Investment Allocation Form and (B) shall determine the manner in which such Deferral Contributions and/or Discretionary Contributions
shall be initially allocated by the Participant among the various Hypothetical Investments within the Plan. A new Investment Allocation Form may be submitted by the Participant in written or electronic format, at such times and according to
such procedures as the Committee shall establish. 

  

	 	(2)	Investment Re-allocation Form. The document required by the Committee that shall re-direct the manner in which earlier Deferral Contributions and/or Discretionary
Contributions, as well as any appreciation (or depreciation) to-date, are invested within the Hypothetical Investments (except Stock) available in the Plan. An Investment Re-Allocation Form may be submitted by the Participant in written or
electronic format, at such times and according to such procedures as the Committee shall establish. 

  

	(c)	 All Hypothetical Investment selections must be denominated in whole percentages unless the Committee determines that lower increments (or whole dollar
amounts) are acceptable. A Participant may make changes in his selected Hypothetical Investments 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 11

	 	 
(except Stock) on a daily basis via submission of a new Investment Allocation Form or submission of a new Investment Re-Allocation Form. Before March 1,
2009 (or such other date as the Committee may establish for this purpose), once a Participant allocates a portion of the Participant’s accounts to hypothetical shares of Stock, the Participant may not decrease the number of hypothetical shares
of Stock held in the Participant’s accounts. Effective March 1, 2009 (or such other date as the Committee may establish for this purpose), a Participant shall be permitted to increase or decrease an allocation with respect to Stock to the
same extent, and subject to the same restrictions, as participants in The McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan can modify their investments in Company stock in that plan. 

  

	(d)	Any Participant who does not have on file a valid selection of Hypothetical Investments for his entire account shall be deemed to have elected to invest any portion for which
there is no valid selection in the Hypothetical Investment that the Committee selects for this purpose. 

 Section 4.6. Adjustment of
Participant Accounts. 
  

	(a)	While a Participant’s accounts do not represent the Participant’s ownership of, or any ownership interest in, any particular assets, the Participant’s accounts
shall be adjusted in accordance with the Hypothetical Investment(s) chosen by the Participant on his Investment Allocation Form or Investment Re-Allocation Form, subject to the conditions and procedures set forth herein or established by the
Committee. 

  

	(b)	Any cash earnings generated under a Hypothetical Investment (such as hypothetical interest and cash dividends) shall, in the Committee’s sole discretion, either be
deemed to be reinvested in that Hypothetical Investment or reinvested in one or more other Hypothetical Investment(s) designated by the Committee. 

  

	(c)	All notional acquisitions and dispositions of Hypothetical Investments that occur within a Participant’s accounts, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shall be deemed to
occur at such times as the Committee shall determine to be administratively feasible and the Participant’s accounts shall be adjusted accordingly. Accordingly, if a distribution or re-allocation must occur pursuant to the terms of the Plan and
all or some portion of the Account Balance must be valued in connection such distribution or re-allocation (to reflect Investment Adjustments), the Committee may, unless otherwise provided for in the Plan, select a date or dates that shall be used
for valuation purposes. 

  

	(d)	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Investment Adjustments made to any Participants’ accounts following a Change in Control shall be made in a
manner no less favorable to Participants than the practices and procedures employed under the Plan, or as otherwise in effect, as of the date of the Change in Control. 

 Section 4.7. Withholding of Taxes. 
  

	(a)	 Annual Withholding from Compensation. For any Plan Year in which Deferral Contributions are credited under the Plan, the Employer shall withhold the
Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes from the portion of the Participant’s Base 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 12

	 	 
Annual Salary and/or Bonus not deferred. If deemed appropriate by the Committee, the Committee may reduce the amount deferred pursuant to the
Participant’s Election Form where necessary to facilitate compliance with applicable withholding requirements. 

  

	(b)	Withholding from Benefit Distributions. The Participant’s Employer (or the trustee of the Trust, as applicable), shall withhold from any payments made to a
Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer (or the trustee
of the Trust, as applicable). 

 Section 4.8. Vesting. 
 The Participant shall at all times be one hundred percent (100%) vested in all Deferral Contributions, adjusted to reflect any appreciation (or depreciation) specifically attributable to such contributions due to
Investment Adjustments.

 Article 5. Payments from the Plan 
 Section 5.1. Default Time and Forms of Payment. 
 Except as provided in Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, a
Participant’s Account Balance shall be paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service.

	 	(b)	Initial Election.

apply with respect to the deferrals of Base Salary or Bonus for that Plan Year that are to be deferred pursuant to the Election Form submitted. The Participant may elect a different time and/or form of payment with respect to the deferral of Base
Salary and Bonus for the same Plan Year, and with respect to the deferral of Base Salary and Bonus for different Plan Years. 

  

	 	(c)	Changes to Election. A Participant may file an election to change the timing of his benefit payments or the form of benefit payments at the time and in the manner
designated by the Committee, subject to the following conditions: 

  

	 	(1)	the election to change the time or form of payment shall not take effect until twelve (12) months after the election is made; 

  

	 	(2)	the election to change the time or form of payment must be filed at least 12 months prior to the date on which payments to the Participant are otherwise scheduled to commence; and

  

	 	(3)	the first payment with respect to which such election to change the form of payment is made must be deferred for a period of 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have
been made. 

 For purposes of this Section 5.2(c), a series of installment payments shall be treated as a
single payment. 
  

	 	(d)	Special Election in 2008. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5.2(c), Participants may make elections on or before December 31, 2008 as to the time
and/or form (or forms) of payment of such amounts, provided that such elections shall apply only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in 2008 and may not cause an amount to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.

 Section 5.3. Cash Out of Small Benefits. 
 Notwithstanding any elections to the contrary, if a Participant’s Account Balance on the date of his Separation from Service is less than the limit set forth in Section 402(g) of the Code ($15,500 in 2008),
the benefit shall be paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 Section 5.4. Forms of
Payment. 
 Benefits under the Plan may be payable in the form of annual installments over 5, 10, 15 or 20 years, a lump sum, or any other form of payment
permitted by the Committee. If benefits are paid in the form of installments, the amount of each payment shall equal the unpaid portion of the Participant’s Vested Account Balance that is subject to the election to be paid in installments at
the time the payment is made multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installment payments remaining to be made. 
 Section 5.5. Time of Benefit Payments. 
 Except as provided in subsection (d) below, a Participant’s Account
Balance (or portion thereof) that is not distributed in accordance with Section 5.1 or Section 5.3 shall be distributed upon the earliest of the payment events listed as Section 5.5(a)-(c) below, as elected by the Participant in
accordance with Section 5.2, and payments shall be made at the time indicated for each payment event as follows: 
  

	(a)	Separation from Service. If a Participant has elected to be paid in connection with the Participant’s Separation from Service with respect to any Deferral
Contribution, payment of such Deferral Contribution and any appreciation or depreciation of such amount due to Investment Adjustments shall commence on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, except that any payments that are
scheduled to be made on or within the first six months after Separation from Service shall be paid in one lump sum on the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service. 

  

	(b)	Disability. Any portion of a Participant’s Account Balance that has not begun to be paid as of the date that the Participant is determined to be Disabled shall commence
(in the case of installments) or be paid (in the case of a lump sum) within thirty (30) days after the Participant is determined to be Disabled. 

  

	(c)	Interim Distribution Date. If the Participant has elected an Interim Distribution Date with respect to any Deferral Contribution, payment of such Deferral Contribution
and any appreciation or depreciation of such amount due to Investment Adjustments shall commence within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (1) such Interim Distribution Date or (2) the Participant’s Separation from Service
(subject to the six-month delay described in subsection (a) above). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to select an Interim Distribution Date that is less than four (4) years from the date the
election is made. 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 15

	(d)	Change in Control Event. Any portion of a Participant’s Account Balance that has not been paid as of the date of a Change in Control Event shall be paid in a
single lump sum within ten (10) days after such Change in Control Event.

Participant to elect to be paid on the “earlier of” or the “later of” any of the permissible payment dates set forth in this Section 5.5.

 A Participant who believes he has experienced a Financial Emergency may
request in writing a withdrawal of a portion of his accounts (except Stock) necessary to satisfy the emergency. The Committee shall determine (a) whether a Financial Emergency has occurred, (b) the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy
the Financial Emergency (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution), and (c) the accounts from which the withdrawal shall be
made. If the Committee approves the petition for a withdrawal, the distribution shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of approval by the Committee.

 Article 6. Death Benefits 
 Section 6.1. Payments in the Event of Death. 
  

	(a)	Death Benefit. If the Participant dies before the payment date designated in Article 5, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the pre-retirement death
benefit described below and no other benefits shall be payable under the Plan. 

  

	(b)	Payment of Pre-Retirement Death Benefit. The pre-retirement death benefit shall be a lump-sum payment equal to the Participant’s Vested Account Balance and shall
be made no later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Participant’s death. 

 Section 6.2. Beneficiary.

 Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive, in the event of the Participant’s
death, those benefits payable under the Plan. The Beneficiary(is) designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation made under any other plan of the Employer.

 A
Participant shall designate his Beneficiary by completing and signing a Beneficiary Designation Form, and returning it to the Committee or its designated agent. A Participant shall have the right to change his Beneficiary by completing, signing and
submitting to the Committee a revised Beneficiary Designation Form in accordance with the Committee’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Participant names someone other than his spouse as a Beneficiary, a
spousal consent, in the form designated by the Committee, must be signed by that Participant’s spouse and returned to the Committee. Upon acknowledgement by the Committee of a revised Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations
previously filed shall be deemed canceled. The Committee shall rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form both (a) filed by the Participant and (b) acknowledged by the Committee, prior to the Participant’s death. 
 Section 6.4. Acknowledgment. 
 No designation or change in designation
of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent. Any such acknowledgement not received by the Participant before his death shall not be valid. 
 Section 6.5. No Beneficiary Designation. 
 If a Participant fails to
designate a Beneficiary as provided above or, if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, then the Participant’s designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to
be his surviving spouse. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits remaining under the Plan shall be payable to the estate of the Participant. 
  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 17

 Section 6.6. Doubt as to Beneficiary. 
 If the Committee has any doubt as to the proper Beneficiary to receive payments pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right to cause the Participant’s Employer (or, if applicable, the trustee of the
Trust) to withhold such payments until this matter is resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction. 
 Section 6.7. Discharge of Obligations.

 The payment of benefits under the Plan to a Beneficiary shall fully and completely discharge all Employers and the Committee from all further
obligations under this Plan with respect to the Participant, and the Participant’s Participation Agreement shall terminate upon such full payment of benefits.

 Article 7. Administration of the Plan

a Participant shall not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a determination or calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by Participant or an Employer. 
 Section 7.3. Agents. 
 In the administration of this Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, employ or designate agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel
to any Employer. 
 Section 7.4. Binding Effect of Decisions. 
 The decision or action of the Committee with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Committee hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

Committee.

delegated, against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Plan, except in case of willful misconduct by the Committee or any of its members or any such employee.

 Section 7.6. Employer Information.

 Article 8. Amendment and Termination 
 Section 8.1. Amendment. 
 The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part with respect
to any or all Employers; provided that (a) no amendment or modification shall decrease or restrict the value of a Participant’s Vested Account Balance in existence at the time the amendment or modification is made, calculated as if the
Participant had experienced a Separation from Service as of the effective date of the amendment or modification, and (b) after a Change in Control, no amendment or modification shall adversely affect the vesting, calculation or payment of
benefits hereunder to any Participant or Beneficiary or diminish any other rights or protections any Participant or Beneficiary would have had, but for such amendment or modification, unless such affected Participant or Beneficiary consents in
writing to such amendment. 
 Section 8.2. Termination. 
 Although the Employers anticipate that they will continue the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any Employer will continue the Plan or will not terminate the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, each
Employer reserves the right to discontinue its sponsorship of the Plan and to terminate the Plan, at any time, with respect to its participating employees by action of its board of directors. Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to any
Employer (and any other plan required to be aggregated with this Plan pursuant to Section 409A of the Code), the Company may, in its discretion, elect to distribute to each Participant the full amount of his benefit under the Plan in a lump sum
no earlier than the 13th month and no later than the 24th month after the termination of the Plan, provided that the termination of the Plan is not proximate to a downturn in the Company’s financial heath and the Company does not adopt any new
arrangement that would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination. 
 Section 8.3. Effect of Payment. 
 The full payment of the applicable benefit under the provisions of the Plan shall completely discharge
all obligations to a Participant and his Beneficiaries under this Plan and each of the Participant’s Participation Agreement shall terminate. 
 Section 8.4. Section 409A of the Code. 
 If the Company determines that any provision of the Plan is or might be inconsistent with
the restrictions imposed by Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be amended to the extent that the Company determines is necessary to bring it into compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Any such deemed amendment
shall be effective as of the earliest date such amendment is necessary under Section 409A of the Code. No amendment or termination pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it would result in a violation of
any requirement under Section 409A of the Code.

 Article 9. Claims Procedures 
 Section 9.1. Presentation of Claim. 
 Any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant
or Beneficiary being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a
notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within thirty (30) days after such notice was received by the Claimant. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant. All other claims must be made
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date on which the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant. 
 Section 9.2. Notification of Decision. 
 The Committee shall
consider a Claimant’s claim and shall notify the Claimant in writing or by electronic means: 
  

	(a)	that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or 

  

	(b)	that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and in that event, such notice shall set forth in a
manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant: 

  

	 	(1)	the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it; 

  

	 	(2)	specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was based; 

  

	 	(3)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

  

	 	(4)	an explanation of the review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. 

 Any such notice shall be provided within 90 days after
receipt of the claim by the Plan, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim for up to a maximum of an additional 90 days. The Claimant will receive written notification if any such extension is necessary.

 Section 9.3. Review of a Denied Claim. 
 Within
sixty (60) days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 22

 
the Committee a written request for a review of the denial of the claim. Thereafter, but not later than thirty (30) days after the review procedure
began, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative): 
  

	(a)	may review and request copies of pertinent documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits; 

  

	(b)	may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits (regardless of whether such comments, documents, records, or other
information was submitted or considered in connection with the initial claim); and/or 

  

	(c)	may request a hearing, which the Committee may grant. 

 No claim
shall be reviewed if the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) fail to file the written request for review in a timely manner. 
 A Claimant who fails to request a review (and fails to have a duly authorized representative seek review on his behalf) in accordance with this Section 9.3 shall not be permitted to bring an action under ERISA to enforce his rights
under the Plan. 
 Section 9.4. Decision on Review. 
 The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and not later than sixty (60) days after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional
time, in which case the Committee’s decision must be rendered within one hundred twenty (120) days after such date. The Claimant will receive written notification if any extension beyond the original sixty (60) days is necessary. Such
decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain: 
  

	(a)	specific reasons for the decision; 

  

	(b)	specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based; 

  

	(c)	a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information
relevant to the claim for benefits; and 

  

	(d)	a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 

 Section 9.5. Section 409A of the Code. 
 If a Participant or Beneficiary believes he or she is entitled to
benefits but has not received them, the Participant or Beneficiary must accept any payment made under the Plan and make prompt and reasonable, good faith efforts to collect the remaining portion of the payment, as determined under
Section 1.409A-3(g) of the Treasury Regulations. For this purpose (and as determined under such regulation), efforts to collect the payment will be presumed not to be prompt, reasonable, good faith efforts, unless the Participant or Beneficiary
provides notice to the 

  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 23

 
Committee within 90 days of the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the regulations
under Section 409A of the Code, and unless, if not paid, the Participant or Beneficiary takes further enforcement measures within 180 days after such latest date.

 Article 10. Trust 
 Section 10.1. Establishment of the Trust. 
 The Company may utilize one or more Trusts to which the Employers may
transfer such assets as the Employers determine in their sole discretion to assist in meeting their obligations under the Plan. Any Trust shall conform to the restrictions under Section 409A of the Code relating to the funding of nonqualified
deferred compensation plans. Benefits under the Plan may also be paid out of the general assets of the Company or an Employer. 
 Nothing contained in this
Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant or any other person. 
 Section 10.2. Interrelationship of the Plan and the Trust. 
 The
provisions of the Plan shall govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the Plan. The provisions of the Trust shall govern the rights of the Employers, Participants and the creditors of the Employers to the assets
transferred to the Trust. 
 Section 10.3. Distributions From the Trust. 
 Each Employer’s obligations under the Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the Trust, and any such distribution shall reduce the Employer’s obligations under this
Agreement.

 Article 11. Miscellaneous 
 Section 11.1. Status of Plan. 
 The Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of
Section 401(a) of the Code and that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of
ERISA. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent. All Participant accounts and all credits and other adjustments to such Participant accounts shall be bookkeeping entries only and
shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of amounts to be paid under the Plan. No Participant accounts, credits or other adjustments under the Plan shall be interpreted as an indication that any benefits under the
Plan are in any way funded. 
 Section 11.2. Unsecured General Creditor. 
 Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or assets of the Company or an Employer or in any property or assets
held in a Trust maintained with respect to the Plan. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this Plan, any and all of an Employer’s assets, shall be, and shall remain, the general, unpledged unrestricted assets of the Employer. Any
Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such rights shall be
no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 Section 11.3. Employer’s Liability. 
 An Employer’s liability for the payment of benefits shall be defined only by the Plan and the Participation Agreement, as entered into between the Employer and a
Participant. An Employer shall have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly provided in the Plan and his Participation Agreement. 
 Section 11.4. Nonassignability. 
 Except to the extent required by an approved domestic relations order, neither a Participant nor any
other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in actual receipt, the amount, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which
are, and all rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable. Except as required by law or an approved domestic relations order, no part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure,
attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other
person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

 Section 11.5. Not a Contract of Employment. 
 The terms and conditions of this Plan and the Participation Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between any Employer and the Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be
an “at will” employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan
or any Participation Agreement shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any Employer as an employee or to interfere with the right of any Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

 Section 11.6. Furnishing Information. 
 Each
Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Committee by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the administration of the Plan and the payments of
benefits hereunder, including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the Committee may deem necessary. 
 Section 11.7. Governing
Law. 
 The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to ERISA and the internal laws of the State of Maryland without regard to
its conflicts of laws principles, to the extent not preempted by ERISA. 
 Section 11.8. Required or Permitted Notices. 
 Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or
certified mail, to the address below: 
 McCormick & Company, Incorporated 
 18 Loveton Circle 
 Sparks, Maryland 21152

 Attn: Vice President – Human Relations 
 Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or the receipt for registration or certification. 
 Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by mail, to the
last known address of the Participant. 
 Section 11.9. Successors. 
 The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Participant’s Employer and its successors and assigns, the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiaries and their successors and
assigns. 
  

  

			
	McCormick Deferred Compensation Plan	  	Page 27

 Section 11.10. Severability. 
 If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan, each
of which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 11.11. Payment on Behalf of Person Unable to Manage Affairs. 
 If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor,
any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee
to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and proportions as the Committee may determine. The Committee may require proof of minority, incompetence, incapacity or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate
prior to distribution of the benefit. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Company under this Plan. 
 Section 11.12. Distribution in the Event of Taxation. 
  

	(a)	If, for any reason, all or any portion of a Participant’s benefit under this Plan becomes includable in the Participant’s gross income for Federal income tax
purposes prior to receipt of such benefit, the Participant may petition the Committee for a distribution of that portion of his benefit that has become taxable. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, the
Participant’s Employer shall immediately distribute to the Participant funds in an amount equal to the taxable portion of his benefit (which amount shall not exceed the Participant’s unpaid Vested Account Balance under the Plan). If the
petition is granted, the tax liability distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Participant’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall correspondingly reduce the benefits with respect to the Participant
under this Plan. 

  

	(b)	In its discretion, the Committee may distribute all or a portion of the Participant’s benefit prior to his Benefit Commencement Date to the extent necessary to pay any
FICA or income taxes which may be owed by the Participant on his benefit under the Plan and to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code. 

 Section 11.13. Insurance. 
 The Employers, on their own behalf or on behalf of the trustee of the Trust, and, in their sole discretion,
may apply for and procure insurance on the life of the Participant, in such amounts and in such forms as the Trust may choose. The Employers or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such
insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Employers shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the
insurance company or companies to whom the Employers have applied for insurance.

 Section 11.14. Section 409A of the Code. 
 No provision in the Plan shall be interpreted or construed to (a) create any liability for the Company or an Employer related to a failure to comply with Section 409A or (b) transfer any liability for a
failure to comply with Section 409A from a Participant, a Participant’s spouse, beneficiary, estate or other individual to the Company or an Employer. 
 Section 11.15. Other Benefits and Agreements. 
 The benefits provided for a Participant and Participant’s Beneficiary under the
Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for employees of the Participant’s Employer. The Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or
programs except as may otherwise be expressly provided.
