Series shall be identical except as may be set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to the authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case
of Securities of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from
which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any matters. 
 SECTION
2.02.    Establishment of Terms of Series of Securities. At or prior to the issuance of any Securities within a Series, the following shall be established (as to the Series generally, in the case of Subsection 2.02(a), and
either as to such Securities within the Series or as to the Series generally, in the case of Subsections 2.02(b) through 2.02(x)) by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to authority granted under a
Board Resolution:

authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of the Series); 

(d)    the date or dates on which the principal and premium of the Securities of the Series are payable;

 (e)    the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which the Securities of the Series shall

will be determined, the record dates for the determination of Holders thereof to whom such interest is payable (in the case of Securities in registered form), and the basis upon which such interest will be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; 

(f)    the currency or currencies, including composite currencies in which Securities of the Series shall
be denominated, if other than Dollars, the place or places, if any, in addition to or instead of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (in the case of Securities in registered form) or the principal New York office of the Trustee (in the case of
Securities in bearer form), where the principal, premium and interest with respect to Securities of such Series shall be payable or the method of such payment, if by wire transfer, mail or other means; 

(g)    the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon
which, Securities of the Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part at the option of the Company or otherwise;

registered form or bearer form or both and, if Securities are to be issued in bearer form, 

  
 6 

 
whether coupons will be attached to them, whether Securities of the Series in bearer form may be exchanged for Securities of the Series issued in registered form, and the circumstances under
which and the places at which any such exchanges, if permitted, may be made; 
 (i)    if any Securities
of the Series are to be issued in bearer form or as one or more Global Securities representing individual Securities of the Series in bearer form, whether certain provisions for the payment of additional interest or tax redemptions shall apply;
whether interest with respect to any portion of a temporary Security of the Series in bearer form payable with respect to any Interest Payment Date prior to the exchange of such temporary Security in bearer form for definitive Securities of the
Series in bearer form shall be paid to any clearing organization with respect to the portion of such temporary Security in bearer form held for its account and, in such event, the terms and conditions (including any certification requirements) upon
which any such interest payment received by a clearing organization will be credited to the Persons entitled to interest payable on such Interest Payment Date; and the terms upon which a temporary Security in bearer form may be exchanged for one or
more definitive Securities of the Series in bearer form; 
 (j)    the obligation, if any, of the Company
to redeem, purchase or repay the Securities of the Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions
upon which, Securities of the Series shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligations; 

(k)    [reserved]; 

(l)    if other than minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,

Maturity other than the Stated Maturity and which will be deemed to be outstanding as of any such date (or, in any such case, the manner in which such deemed principal amount is to be determined), and if necessary, the manner of determining the
equivalent thereof in Dollars; 
 (o)    the applicability of or any changes or additions to the
defeasance and discharge provisions of Article Eight; 
 (p)    if other than the principal amount
thereof, the portion of the principal amount of the Securities of the Series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02; 

(q)    the terms, if any, of the transfer, mortgage, pledge or assignment as security for the Securities of
the Series of any properties, assets, moneys, proceeds, securities or other collateral, including whether certain provisions of the TIA are applicable and any corresponding changes to provisions of this Indenture as then in effect; 

(r)    any addition to or change in the Events of Default which applies to any Securities of the Series and
any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Series of Securities to declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Series of Securities due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02; 

  
 7 

 (s)    if the Securities of the Series shall be issued
in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security, the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Definitive Securities of such Series, the Depositary for such Global
Security and the form of any legend or legends to be borne by any such Global Security in addition to or in lieu of the Global Securities Legend; 

(t)    any Trustee, authenticating agent, Paying Agent, transfer agent, Service Agent or Registrar; 

(u)    the applicability of, and any addition to or change in, the covenants (and the related definitions)

 (v)    with regard to
Securities of the Series that do not bear interest, the dates for certain required reports to the Trustee; 

(w)    the terms applicable to Original Issue Discount Securities, including the rate or rates at which
original issue discount will accrue; and 
 (x)    any other terms of Securities of the Series (which
terms shall not be prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture). 
 All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time
and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, and the authorized principal amount of
any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate. 

SECTION 2.03.    Denominations; Provisions for Payment. The Securities shall be issuable, except as otherwise
provided with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.02, as registered Securities in minimum denominations of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, subject to Section 2.02(e).
The Securities of any Series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with respect to that Series. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.02 with respect to Securities of any Series, the principal of
and the interest on the Securities of any Series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in Dollars. Such payment shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.02, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. 

The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Securities of that Series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. 

Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of any
Series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to Securities of any Series with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such Series shall mean (i) either
the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month or (ii) the
first day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such Series pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a Series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security of such Series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 

  
 8 

 SECTION 2.04.    Execution and Authentication. One or more
Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Securities may contain
such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. 
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to
time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize
authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
 The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.09. 
 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the
Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series
or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.04 and 10.05, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying
with Section 10.04 and 10.05. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series:
(a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or
vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company. 
 SECTION 2.05.    Registrar and Paying Agent. So long as Securities of any Series remaining
outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York (or any other place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.02), where Securities of such
Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each office or agency, Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency, Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

  
 9 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term
“Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent. 

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar,
Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 
 SECTION
2.06.    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of any Series of
Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 2.06 is subject to
the provisions of Section 8.06, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums
held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall be released from all further liability with respect to the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 
 SECTION
2.07.    Holder Lists. (a) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities and shall
otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten 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 Holders of each Series of Securities. 
 (b)
The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 2.07(a) upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
 SECTION
2.08.    Transfer and Exchange. When 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, 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 Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.12, 3.06 or 9.05). 

Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series
during the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(b) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 

  
 10 

 All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as
provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or by such
Holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.08 are, with respect to any Global Security,
subject to Section 2.15 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.09.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if
the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section 2.09, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section 2.09 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this
Section 2.09 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights and remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary, with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, negotiable instruments or other securities. 
 SECTION
2.10.    Outstanding Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the
interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue. 

  
 11 

 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the
Security. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and
payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 

SECTION 2.11.    Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination. 

SECTION 2.12.    Temporary Securities. Until Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. 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 upon request shall authenticate Definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall
have the same rights under this Indenture as the Definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.13.    Cancellation. The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Securities according to its normal operating procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act) and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

SECTION 2.14.    Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it
shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and
payment date. At least 30 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Holder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted
interest in any other lawful manner. 
 SECTION 2.15.    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 2.08
of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.08 of the 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 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, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or
(iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have occurred and be continuing. Any 

  
 12 

 
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
Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may only be transferred in whole but not in part (i) by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, (ii) by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or
another nominee of such Depositary or (iii) 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: 

“THIS SECURITY IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (A) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.04 OF THE INDENTURE, (B) THIS SECURITY MAY
BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.15(B) OF THE INDENTURE, (C) THIS SECURITY MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.13 OF THE INDENTURE AND (D) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN
SECTION 2.15(B) OF THE INDENTURE, THIS SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART, ONLY (X) BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, (Y) BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR (Z) BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR TO A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.” 
 (d)
Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

 (e) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.15(d), 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, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION
2.16.    CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” number that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in CUSIP numbers. 

SECTION 2.17.    Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein
contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the Holders of the Securities. 

  
 13 

 ARTICLE THREE 

Redemption and Prepayment 

SECTION 3.01.    Notices to Trustee. The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right
to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Series of Securities. If a Series
of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and
the principal amount of Securities of the Series to be redeemed and the redemption price. The Company shall give such notice to the Trustee at least 30 but no more that 60 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable
to the Trustee). 
 SECTION 3.02.    Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated for a
particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed or purchased as follows: 
 (1) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange,
in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed; or 

(2) if the Securities are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, no Securities of $1,000 of principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for
redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall make the selection at least 25 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date from outstanding Securities of a Series not previously called for
redemption. 
 If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the
portion of the principal amount of that Security to be redeemed. A new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security presented for redemption will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation
of the original Security. Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due on the date fixed for redemption at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On and after the redemption date, unless
the Company defaults in making the applicable redemption payment, interest ceases to accrue or accrete on Securities or portions of them called for redemption. 

SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption. Unless otherwise provided for a particular Series of Securities by a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price or the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, which in each case will include interest
accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption; 
 (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 shall be issued upon cancellation of the original
Security; 

  
 14 

 (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 making such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Securities and/or provision of this
Indenture or any supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) the
CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as required by this Section 3.03. 

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 irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder. 

SECTION 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all
Securities to be redeemed on that date, other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable
return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. If such money is then held by
the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust. 
 If the Company complies with the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or
prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities. 
 SECTION
3.06.    Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the
Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

 ARTICLE FOUR 

Covenants 
 SECTION
4.01.    Payment of Securities. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually make all payments in respect of each Series of Securities on the
dates and in the manner provided in such Series of Securities and this Indenture. Such payments shall be considered made on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to
make all payments with respect to such Securities then due. 
 SECTION 4.02.    SEC Reports. Unless otherwise
indicated in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any
Securities are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Holders copies of such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a
U.S. corporation (and not a foreign private issuer) subject to such Sections, at the times specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is
for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any
of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). 

In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all such information and
reports with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective
investors upon request. The Company shall at all times comply with TIA § 314(a). 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

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 Default and whether or not the signers
know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or propose to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with TIA §
314(a)(4). 
 SECTION 4.04.    Further Instruments and Acts. The Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee
such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.05.    Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Five hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 
 (1) its limited liability company, corporate, partnership
or other existence in accordance with its organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) and 
 (2)
the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities. 

  
 16 

 SECTION 4.06.    Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The
Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Securities as of the end of
such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 

SECTION 4.07.    Additional Amounts. If, following any transactions permitted by Section 5.01 of this
Indenture, the Surviving Person is organized other than under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, all payments made by the Surviving Person under or with respect to the Securities shall be made
free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter
“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the jurisdiction of organization of the Surviving Person or any political subdivision thereof or any taxing authority therein (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the
Surviving Person is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the official interpretation or administration thereof. 
 If the
Surviving Person is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on account of, such Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities, the Surviving Person shall pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”)
as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld
or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to (1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the
relevant Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust or corporation) and a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other
than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding outside of the Surviving Person’s country of incorporation of such Security); (2) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the relevant Holder or the
beneficial owner of the Securities to comply with a written request of the Surviving Person addressed to such Holder, after reasonable notice, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence
or identity of such Holder or such beneficial owner or to make any declaration or similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, which is required by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the
applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, all or part of such Taxes; (3) any Taxes withheld or deducted pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any amended or successor version of such Sections), any U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, any official interpretations thereof or any agreements (including any law implementing any such
agreement) entered into in connection with the implementation thereof; or (4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; nor shall the Surviving Person be
required to pay Additional Amounts (a) if the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Security for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or
such Security became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Security been presented on the last day
of such 30 day period), or (b) with respect to any payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on such Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment,
to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or
beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Security. 

  
 17 

 Upon request, the Surviving Person shall provide the Trustee with official receipts or other
documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid. 
 Whenever
in this Indenture, a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, or in any Security there is mentioned, in any context: (1) the payment of principal; (2) purchase prices in connection with a purchase
of Securities; (3) interest; or (4) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Securities, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section 4.07 to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof. 
 The obligations described under this Section 4.07
shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture and any defeasance of the Securities and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or any Surviving Person is organized or any
political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 

Successor Companies 

SECTION 5.01.    Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. Unless otherwise provided for a particular Series of
Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall not merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other Person (other than a merger of a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company into
the Company) or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its Property in one transaction or series of related transactions unless: 

(a)    the Company shall be the surviving Person (the “Surviving Person”) or the Surviving Person

 (b)    the Surviving Person (if other than the Company)
expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such Surviving Person, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all the
Securities of all Series outstanding, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company; 

(c)    [Reserved] 

(d)    immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related

shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and the supplemental indenture, if
any, in respect thereto comply with this Section 5.01 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and 

(f)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders
will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such transaction or series of transactions and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such transaction or series of transactions had not occurred. 

  
 18 

 For the purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, transfer, assignment, lease,
conveyance or other disposition of all the Property of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which Property, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all the Property of the Company on a
consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all the Property of the Company. 
 SECTION
5.02.    Surviving Person Substituted. (a) In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition and upon the assumption by the successor entity,
by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Securities of all series outstanding and the
due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of the Securities pursuant to Section 2.02 to be performed by the Company with respect to each series, such
successor entity 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 it had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor entity shall be
relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 

(c) Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent the Company from merging into itself or acquiring by
purchase or otherwise all or any part of the Property of any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company). 
 ARTICLE SIX 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.01.    Events of Default. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto, or an Officers’ Certificate, each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to each Series of Securities: 

(1) default in the payment of the principal or redemption price with respect to any Security of such Series when such amount
becomes due and payable; 
 (2) default in the payment of interest (including additional interest, if any,) when due on the
Securities of such Series within 30 days of when such amount becomes due and payable; 
 (3) the Company fails to comply with
any of its covenants or agreements in the Securities of such Series or this Indenture (other than a failure that is subject to the foregoing clauses (1) or (2)) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below; 

(4) Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or
is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds $25.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time without such Debt having been discharged or acceleration
having been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after receipt by the Company of notice of the default by the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding; 

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

(A) commences a voluntary case; 

  
 19 

 (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 any substantial part of its Property; or 

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

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 

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

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

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or for any substantial part of its
Property; or 
 (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company; 

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 

(7) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money (to the extent not insured by a reputable and creditworthy issuer that has not
contested coverage with respect to the underlying claim) in an aggregate amount in excess of $25.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time is entered against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and that shall not be
waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect. 
 The
foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
 The term “Custodian” means, for the purposes of this Article Six, any
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (3) is not
an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such
notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’
Certificate of any Event of Default and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 6.02.    Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities at the time
outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of that Series by notice to the Company in writing (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders of such Securities of such Series), may declare the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the
portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that Series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such amounts shall be due and payable immediately. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the

  
 20 

 
terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of each Series of Security shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 (b) At any time after the principal of the Securities of
any Series of Securities shall have been so declared due and payable (or have become immediately due and payable), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, and waive such Event of Default,
if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that Series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that Series
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum
expressed in the Securities of that Series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such Series of
Securities, other than the nonpayment of principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security) on Securities of that Series that shall not have become due by
their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.04. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.03.    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium,
if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that Series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that Series or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may institute and maintain a suit or legal proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of a Series or does not
produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any
Series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby
specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security of that Series, or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each
Holder of that Series affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 

SECTION 6.05.    Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to that Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of that Series or that would subject the Trustee to personal
liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity
satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION
6.06.    Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the portion thereby specified in

  
 21 

 
the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security of any Series when due, no Holder of a Security of that Series may pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture or the Securities of that Series unless: 
 (i)    the Holder previously gave the Trustee
written notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to that Series is continuing; 

(ii)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that
Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (iii)    such Holder or Holders of
that Series offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(iv)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the
offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (v)    the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of that Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 

A Holder of Securities of any Series may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of that Series or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder of that Series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 

SECTION 6.07.    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the
Securities held by such Holder, on or after their Maturity, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after their Maturity, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful)
and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 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 Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its
Property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.10.    Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or Property pursuant to this Article Six with
respect to any Series of Securities, it shall pay out the money or Property in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due
under Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of that Series for the principal amount of (or,
in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Securities of that Series for the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, respectively; and 

  
 22 

 THIRD: to the Company. 

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

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

SECTION 6.12.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any
time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

7.01.    Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of Securities, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use
the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

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

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of that Series, as modified or supplemented by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of that Series,
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 such
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 liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

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

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

  
 23 

 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 
 (d) 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) 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. 
 (f) Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) No provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (h) Every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 

SECTION 7.02.    Rights of Trustee. (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 need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

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

(c) The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney
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; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Securities, shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 

(f) 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. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of any Series unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and such notice references such Securities and this Indenture. 
 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

(i) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the
Trustee in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 24 

 (j) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(k) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it
to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (l) In no event shall the Trustee be
responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (m) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names
of individuals or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to 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 its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

SECTION 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and 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 of the Company in this
Indenture, in the Securities, or in any document executed in connection with the sale of the Securities, other than those set forth in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 7.05.    Notice of Defaults. If a Default with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing
and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of that Series notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 
 SECTION
7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holder. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, as promptly as practicable after each April 15
beginning with April 15, 2020, for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with § 313(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall also comply with
§ 313(b) of the TIA. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange
(if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Securities become 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 for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the 

  
 25 

 
Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall
not relieve the Company of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior
to the Securities on all money or Property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or Property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest and any additional payments on particular Securities. 

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture or the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time with
respect to the Securities of any Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities.
The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its Property; or 

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series and such
Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders of that Series of Securities. 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. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities of that Series may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of that Series of Securities may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

SECTION 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

  
 26 

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

SECTION 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
§ 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that
there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 
 SECTION 7.11.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311 (b). A Trustee who has resigned or has been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

ARTICLE EIGHT 
 Legal
Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance and Satisfaction and Discharge 
 SECTION 8.01.    Option to Effect Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to
all outstanding Securities of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight. 
 SECTION
8.02.    Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of that Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only
for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities of that Series under Article Two; 

(b) the Company’s agreements set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith under Article Two and Article Seven (including, but not limited to, the rights of the Trustee and the duties of the Company under Section 7.07, which shall survive despite the satisfaction in full of all obligations hereunder); and

 (d) this Article Eight. 

  
 27 

 Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 SECTION
8.03.    Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 with respect to any Series of Securities, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenant contained in Section 4.07 of this Indenture (if applicable to such Series of Securities) and any covenants made applicable
to the Series of Securities which are subject to defeasance under the terms of a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate with respect to the outstanding Securities of that Series on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that Series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition,
upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof with respect to any Series of Securities, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
Section 6.01(3) hereof (solely with respect to the covenants described in Sections 4.02) shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to such Securities. 

SECTION 8.04.    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the
application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Securities: 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance with respect to any Series of Securities: 
 (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit in trust with the
Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series to the Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(2) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent registered
public accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Securities of such Series to the Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default
specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company occurs that is continuing at the end of the period; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to that Series of Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default with respect to that Series of Securities resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); 

(5) such deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the
deposit does not require registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

  
 28 

 (7) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 

(8) in the case of the Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of such Series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (9) the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article Eight have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.05.    Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and noncallable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05,
the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities of the Series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any,
and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or noncallable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof
other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of that Series. 

Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request of the Company any money or noncallable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(2) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.06.    Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable
shall be paid to the Company on its request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such
Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30
days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

  
 29 

 SECTION 8.07.    Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any Dollars or noncallable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

SECTION 8.08.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. If at any time: (a) the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of a Series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and Securities
for whose payment money and/or U.S. Government Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereupon repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 8.06);
or (b) all such Securities of a particular Series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of that Series of Securities, cash in United
States Dollars, noncallable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay at maturity or upon redemption all
Securities of that Series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal of, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the
Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such Series by the Company, and shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that all conditions
precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Series have been complied with, then this Indenture shall thereupon cease to be of further effect with respect to such Series except for: 

(i) (a) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities of that Series under Article Two; 

(b) the Company’s agreements set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith (including, but not limited to, the rights of the Trustee and the duties of the Company under Section 7.07, which shall survive despite the satisfaction in full of all obligations hereunder); and 

(d) this Article Eight, 
 each of
which shall survive until the Securities of such Series have been paid in full (thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Section 7.07 only shall survive) and (ii) this Article Eight. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of this Section 8.08, the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such Series of Securities.

such provision nor modify the rights of the Holders of any such Security with respect to the benefit of such provision or (B) become effective only when there is no such Security outstanding; 

  
 31 

 (11) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a

(6) make any change in Section 4.07, 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to all affected Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice
to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 
 SECTION
9.03.    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04.    Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder
of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.
After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective once both (i) the requisite number of consents have been received by the Company or the Trustee and (ii) such amendment or
waiver has been executed by the Company and the Trustee. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

 SECTION 9.05.    Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an
amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, 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. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue
a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
 SECTION 9.06.    Trustee to Sign Amendments.
The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such
amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.07.    Payment for Consent.
Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of
any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders, ratably, that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to
such consent, waiver or agreement.

 Failure to mail a notice or

 SECTION 10.04.    Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions
Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee: 

(1) an Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of
the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 

(2) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with. 
 SECTION 10.05.    Statements Required in

(1) a statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; 

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has made
such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

 SECTION 10.06.    Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

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

(c) The ownership of bearer securities may be proved by the production of such bearer securities or by a certificate executed by any trust
company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the
bearer securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such bearer securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company
may assume that such ownership of any bearer security continues until (i) another such certificate 

  
 34 

 
or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same bearer security is produced, (ii) such bearer security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, (iii) such bearer
security is surrendered in exchange for a registered security or (iv) such bearer security is no longer outstanding. The ownership of bearer securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

(d) The ownership of registered securities shall be proved by the register maintained by the Registrar. 

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future
Holder of the same Security and the holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 (f) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be
given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Securities
have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 

(g) 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 the Indenture. 
 SECTION
10.07.    Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions. 

SECTION 10.08.    Legal Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking
institutions in New York State are authorized or required by law to close. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
If a record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected. 
 SECTION 10.09.    Governing Law.
THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 SECTION 10.10.    No Recourse Against
Others. A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of any Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 

  
 35 

 SECTION 10.11.    Successors. All agreements of the Company in
this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 

SECTION 10.12.    Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy

SECTION 10.13.    Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the
Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

SECTION 10.14.    Severability. If any provision in this Indenture is deemed unenforceable, it shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision set forth herein, or of the Indenture as a whole.

Exhibit 10.1

 

PARK ELECTROCHEMICAL CORP.

2018 Stock Option Plan

Incentive Stock Option Contract

 

This Stock Option Contract entered into as of this ______ day of __________, 20___ (the “Grant Date”), between Park Electrochemical Corp., a New York corporation (the "Company"), and ________________, an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary (the "Optionee"). Capitalized terms not defined in this Stock Option Contract have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Park Electrochemical Corp. 2018 Stock Option Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

1. The Company, in accordance with the allotment made by the Committee, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, grants as of the Grant Date, to the Optionee, an Incentive Stock Option (the “Option”) to purchase an aggregate of ________ shares of the Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at $______ per share (the “Exercise Price”), being the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the Grant Date.

 

2. This Option shall expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination of employment as provided in the Plan. This Option is exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:

 

	
			Vesting Date

			[_____________] 

				
			Shares Becoming Exercisable

			
	 	 
	 	 
	 	 
	 	 
	
			Total

				 

 

 

provided, however, that the right to purchase shall be cumulative, so that if the full number of shares of Common Stock purchasable in a period shall not be purchased, the balance may be purchased at any time or from time to time thereafter, but prior to the Expiration Date. This Option may be exercised in whole or in part and from time to time as to shares of Common Stock that have become exercisable, by giving written notice to the Company at its principal office, presently 48 South Service Rd., Melville, New York 11747, identifying the Option being exercised, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price therefor, in cash (including check, bank draft or money order, or wire transfer or other transfer of funds, or broker-assisted cashless exercise), Common Stock, or any combination thereof.

 

 

 

 

 3. (a) In the event that the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated prior to the Expiration Date (i) for Cause, or (ii) without the written consent of the Company, this Option shall (to the extent not previously exercised) terminate immediately and be forfeited.

 

     (b) In the event that the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated prior to the Expiration Date (other than by reason of disability or death or as provided in Section 3(a)) and the Company has not offered the Optionee any separation agreement in exchange for a release, this Option may be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent exercisable as of the date of termination of employment or service, at any time within three (3) months after such termination, but not thereafter, and in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

     (c) In the event that the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated prior to the Expiration Date (other than by reason of disability or death or as provided in Section 3(a)) and the Company has offered the Optionee a separation agreement in exchange for a release, this Option may be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent exercisable as of the date of termination of employment or service, at any time within three (3) months after the date such separation agreement becomes fully effective and any revocation period has expired, but not thereafter, and in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

   (d) In the event that the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated prior to the Expiration Date by reason of the disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) of the Optionee, this Option, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable as of the date of termination of employment or service, at any time within one (1) year after the date of termination, but not thereafter, and in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

   (e) In the event that the employment or service of the Optionee is terminated prior to the Expiration Date by reason of the Optionee’s death, or the Optionee’s death occurs within three months after termination of the Optionee’s employment or service (unless such termination was either (i) for Cause, or (ii) without the written consent of the Company), this Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable as of the date of termination of employment or service, by the Optionee’s executor, administrator or other such person at the time entitled by law to the Optionee’s rights under such Option, at any time within six (6) months after the date of the Optionee’s death, but not thereafter, and in no event after the Expiration Date.

 

(f) In the event of a termination of employment or service with the Company for any reason, any portion of the Option that is not exercisable as of such date shall be immediately forfeited. In the event of a Change of Control, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

 

4. Nothing in the Plan or herein shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue as an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time during such periods without liability of the Company or its subsidiaries. Further, nothing in the Plan or herein shall confer upon the Optionee any right to be granted additional stock options under the Plan.

5. The Company currently has an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to shares of Common Stock. The Company currently intends to maintain this registration, but has no obligation to do so. If the registration statement ceases to be effective, the Optionee will not be able to sell or transfer shares of Common Stock issued to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option unless an exemption from registration under applicable securities laws is available. The Optionee agrees that any resale by the Optionee of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option shall comply in all respects with the requirements of all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law, rule or regulation applicable thereto, as such laws, rules and regulations may be amended from time to time. The Company shall not be obligated to issue the shares of Common Stock or permit their resale if such issuance or resale would violate any such requirements.

 

6. In the event of any disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Option within two (2) years from the Grant Date, or within one (1) year from the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the Optionee, the Optionee shall notify the Company thereof in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition and will pay to the Company an amount necessary to satisfy its obligations to withhold any taxes by reason of such disqualifying disposition, in any manner satisfactory to the Company as set forth in the Plan.

 

7. The Company and the Optionee further agree that they will both be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Stock Option Contract and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

 

8. This Option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

 

9. This Option is an Incentive Stock Option, as such term is defined in the Plan. As an Incentive Stock Option, it cannot be first exercisable for more than $100,000 in value of Common Stock (measured by the Exercise Price) in any calendar year. Any excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

10. In lieu of receiving documents in hard copy paper format, the Optionee agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may be required to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other agreements, documents, forms and communications) in connection with the Option and any other prior or future grant made by the Company and any Subsidiaries. Electronic delivery of a document to the Optionee may be via a Company or Subsidiary email system or by reference to a location on a Company or Subsidiary intranet site to which the Optionee has access.

 

3

 

 

11. Prior to the Optionee’s exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall not possess any incidents of ownership of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option, including voting or dividend rights.

 

12. Any and all notices, designations, consents, offers, acceptances and any other communications provided for herein shall be given in writing and shall be delivered either personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, which shall be addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company, except as provided in Section 10 and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee’s address appearing on the books of the Company or to such other address as may be designated in writing by the Optionee.

 

13. The terms of this Stock Option Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and of the Optionee and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.

 

14. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Stock Option Contract shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had been omitted.

 

15. Except as provided in the Plan, no change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Stock Option Contract shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

 

16. This Stock Option Contract and the Plan contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein and supersede all prior communications, representations and negotiations in respect thereto.

 

17. This Stock Option Contract and the rights of the Optionee hereunder shall be governed, construed, and administered in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws of such jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction).

 

18. The headings of the Paragraphs hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction, and shall not constitute a part, of this Stock Option Contract.

 

19. This Stock Option Contract may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

4

 

 

20. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Stock Option Contract and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Optionee and such Optionee’s legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Stock Option Contract.

 

21. In administering this Stock Option Contract and the Plan, or to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, it may be necessary for the Company to transfer certain personal data of the Optionee to a Subsidiary, or to outside service providers, or to governmental agencies. By signing this Stock Option Contract and accepting the grant of the Option, the Optionee consents, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the use and transfer, electronically or otherwise, of the Optionee’s personal data to such entities for such purposes.

 

22. By signing this Stock Option Contract, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Option and the shares of Common Stock shall (i) be subject to forfeiture as a result of the Optionee’s violation of any agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary regarding non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement, inventions and/or similar restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants Agreement”), and (ii) be subject to forfeiture and/or recovery under any compensation recovery policy that may be adopted from time to time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For avoidance of doubt, compensation recovery rights to shares of Common Stock shall extend to the proceeds realized by the Optionee due to sale or other transfer of such stock. The Optionee’s prior execution of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement was a material inducement for the Company’s grant of the Option under this Agreement.

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this contract as of the day and year first above written.
