REVERSE OF NOTE
SOLARCITY CORPORATION
2.00% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/15-1

This note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company, designated as its “2.00% Solar Bonds, Series 2015/15-1” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2014 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), as supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Sixty-Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2015 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, paying agent and security registrar (herein called the “ Paying Agent and Security Registrar”), and the Trustee, as trustee, and as the authenticating agent (herein called the “Authenticating Agent”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, then the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs, then the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and premium, if any, on all the Notes 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 of the Notes. 

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.  Upon any such waiver, said default shall for all purposes of this Note and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures to modify provisions of the Indenture, subject to exceptions permitting the modification of the Indenture without the consent of any Holder of Notes or requiring the consent of each Holder of a Note affected by such modification all as set forth in the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiples thereof.  The Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations, on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Indenture.

 

 

The Company, the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent and Security Registrar may deem the Persons in whose name this Note shall be registered upon the Security Register to be, and may treat them as, the absolute owners of this Note with respect to the principal sum set forth opposite such Person’s name on Schedule A hereto (whether or not amounts under this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Security Registrar), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, and interest on this Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company or the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  All such payments so made to any Holders for the time being, or upon their orders, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon this Note.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented hereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.

In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control. The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

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. 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 the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to ‎Section 8.01) 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 him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be
proved by the Security Register.

 

    8 

     

    

(d) 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, the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of such action is made upon such Security or such other Security.

 

(e) The Depository selected pursuant to
‎Section 2.01(b)(xv), 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 hereunder.

 

Section 1.05. Notices, etc., to Trustee
or Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided
or permitted by this Indenture to be made, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office, or

 

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

 

Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event,
at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure
to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

(b) In case by reason of the suspension
of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification
as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 

Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included
in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any

 

    9 

     

    

provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts
with the duties imposed by section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture
Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision
shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as such provision of the Trust Indenture Act is so modified or excluded, as the case

(c) At any time and from time to time after
the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed on behalf of the Company
pursuant

 

    13 

     

    

to clause ‎(a) above to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, that, with respect to Securities of a
series constituting a medium term note program, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original
issue from time to time in the aggregate principal amount established for such series pursuant to such procedures acceptable to
the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order. The amount, maturity dates, original
issue dates, whether the Securities are to be issued as one or more Global Securities or certificated securities, interest rates
and any other terms of the Securities of such series shall be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order and procedures.

	By:	
 

	 	Name:
	 	Title:

 

(e) If the form or terms of the Securities
of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by ‎Section 2.01, in authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee
shall receive, and (subject to ‎Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

 

(i) if the form of any of such
Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by ‎Section 2.01, that such form has been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(ii) if the terms of any of such
Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by ‎Section 2.01, that such terms have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(iii) that such Securities, when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

 

    14 

     

    

(f) Notwithstanding that such form or terms
have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant
to this Indenture would adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture
or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

(g) With respect to Securities of a series
constituting a medium term note program, if the form and general terms of the Securities of such series have been established by
or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or by an indenture supplemental hereto, as permitted by ‎Section 2.01 in authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee
shall receive, and (subject to ‎Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the foregoing documents
and Opinion of Counsel, or in lieu of clause ‎(e) above, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Securities have been duly authorized
by the Company and, when duly executed by the Company and completed and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture
and issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with any applicable distribution agreement, will have been duly issued under this
Indenture and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

 

(h) Each Security shall be dated the date
of its authentication.

 

(i) No Security shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and
is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation
as provided in ‎Section 2.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with ‎Section 1.02 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes
of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

Section 2.04. Temporary Securities. (a)
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order from the Company,
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Securities
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 

(b) If temporary Securities of any series
are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable

 

    15 

     

    

for definitive Securities of such series upon
surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities
of the same series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

 

Section 2.05. Registration; Registration
of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.

 

(b) Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security of any series at an office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment designated by the Company pursuant
to ‎Section 5.02 for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of
a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

 

(c) At the option of the Holder, Securities
of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

(d) All Securities issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(e) Every Security presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

(f) No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or for exchange of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to ‎Section 2.04, ‎2.05(h), ‎3.07 or ‎10.06 not involving any transfer.

    16 

     

    

 

 

 

(g) The Company shall not be required (i)
to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under ‎Section
3.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security
so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion
of any security not being redeemed or purchased.

 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to the applicable supplemental indenture applicable to that Security.

 

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Indenture, but subject to exchanges under clause ‎(h) above, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole
by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such
Depository or another nominee of such Depository.

 

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
and Stolen Securities. (a) 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.

 

(b) 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 any 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 deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

(c) 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.

 

(d) Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section, the Company or the Trustee 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 and its counsel)
connected therewith.

 

(e) Every new Security of any series issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series
duly issued hereunder.

 

    17 

     

    

(f) The provisions of this Section are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 

Section 2.07. Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. (a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by ‎Section 2.01 with respect to any series of Securities,
interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

(b) The principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest due on the Securities shall be paid in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date)
will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable and subject, in the case of a Global Security, to the Trustee’s
arrangements with the Depositary, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at
a banking institution in the United States of America as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior
to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

 

(c) Any interest on any Security of any
series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder entitled to such interest by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause ‎(i) or
‎(ii) below:

 

(i) The Company may elect to
make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities
of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such

 

    18 

     

    

Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities
of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause ‎(ii).

 

(ii) The Company may elect to
make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

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

 

Section 2.08. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee, including a Paying Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to ‎Section
2.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee, including a Paying Agent, shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

 

Section 2.09. Cancellation. All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the
Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold and all Securities
so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order from the Company.

 

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by ‎Section 2.01
for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

 

Section 2.11. 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 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

 

    19 

     

    

identification numbers printed on the Securities,
and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

 

Article

Redemption of Securities

 

Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.
Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by ‎Section 2.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

 

Section 3.02. Election to Redeem; Notice
to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption
at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of like tenor of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee
of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. Any such notice may be cancelled
at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. In the case
of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities
or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction.

 

Section 3.03. Selection by Trustee of
Securities to be Redeemed. (a) If less than all the Securities of like tenor of any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements governing redemptions of the principal securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or if such securities exchange has no requirement governing redemption or
the Securities are not then listed on a securities exchange, by lot (or, in the case of Securities issued in global form, based
on the applicable procedures of the Depository). If the Securities are redeemed in part, the remaining Outstanding principal amount
of such Securities must be of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for such Securities.

 

(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

(c) For all purposes of this Indenture,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any
Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or
is to be redeemed.

 

Section 3.04. Notice of Redemption. (a)
Unless otherwise indicated for a particular series of Securities by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officers’ Certificate, notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30

Sinking Funds

 

Section 4.01. Applicability of Article.
(a) The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series
permitted by the applicable supplemental indenture except as otherwise specified in accordance with ‎Section
2.01 for Securities of such series.

 

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

 

Section 4.02. Satisfaction of Sinking
Fund Payments with Securities. The Company (x) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called
for redemption) and (y) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities
of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided
that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price

 

    22 

     

    

specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

 

Section 4.03. Redemption of Securities
for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to ‎Section
4.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any such Securities. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment
date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in ‎Section
3.03 and cause notice of the redemption, prepared by the Company, thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense
of the Company in the manner provided in ‎Section 3.04. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
‎3.06 and ‎3.07.

punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms
of the Securities and this Indenture.

 

(b) An installment of principal or interest
shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date money designated for and sufficient

Section 5.02. Maintenance of Office or
Agency. (a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

 

(b) The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for
any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment
for Securities of any series for such

 

    23 

     

    

purposes. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

Section 5.03. Money for Securities Payments
to be Held in Trust. (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities
of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.

 

(b) Whenever the Company shall have one
or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any)
or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so
to act.

 

(c) The Company will cause each Paying
Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee or the Company to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

 

(i) hold all sums held by it
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

 

(ii) give the Trustee notice
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal
(and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and

 

(iii) at any time during the
continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust
by such Paying Agent.

 

(d) 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 by Company Order, direct
any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent. Upon such payment by
any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

(e) 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 (and premium, if any) or interest
on any Security of any series, 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 Company

 

    24 

     

    

Request or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust. Thereafter the Holder of such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor, 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.

 

Section 5.04. Corporate Existence. Subject
to ‎Article 6, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in a material respect to the Holders.

 

Section 5.05. Statement by Officers as
to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending
after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company

the Company and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they
may have knowledge.

The Company shall not create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed (“Debt”) secured
by a Lien on any of its properties or assets, without securing the Securities of any applicable series equally and ratably with
(or prior to) such secured Debt for so long as such Debt is secured, unless the aggregate principal amount of such secured Debt
then outstanding does not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s total consolidated assets measured as of the date
of the Company’s most recent filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K preceding the creation
or assumption of any such Lien.

 

(b) The restriction in subsection (a) of
this ‎Section 5.06 will not apply to Debt secured by (1) Liens existing on the date the Securities are issued, as applicable,

‎(a) through ‎(c) above) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof.

 

Section 7.02. Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
(other than an Event of Default specified in clause ‎(e) or (f) of ‎Section 7.01) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities
of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified
in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall
become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause ‎(e) or ‎(f) of
‎Section 7.01 occurs, the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder
of any Security of that series.

 

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

 

(i) the Company has paid or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

 

(A) all overdue interest on all
Securities of that series,

 

    28 

     

    

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

 

(C) to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue principal (and premium, if any) and overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities, and

 

(D) all sums paid or advanced
by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

 

and

 

(ii) all Events of Default with
respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in ‎Section 7.13.

 

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

 

(d) Upon receipt by the Trustee of any
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is
represented by a Global Security, the record date for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to
join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall be the day the Trustee receives
such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, or, if such receipt occurs after the close of
business or on a day that is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day. The Holders on such record date, or their duly
designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment,
as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration
of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage
having been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such declaration of acceleration, or rescission
and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.
The Trustee may conclusively rely on any representation by the Holders delivering such declaration of acceleration, or rescission
and annulment, as the case may be, that such Holders constitute the requisite percentage to deliver such declaration. Nothing in
this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new declaration
of acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a declaration of acceleration, or
rescission or annulment thereof, which has been canceled pursuant to the provision to the preceding sentence, in which event a
new record date shall be established pursuant to the provision of this ‎Section
7.02.

 

Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. (a) The Company covenants that if:

 

    29 

     

    

(i) default is made in the payment
of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;
or

 

(ii) default is made in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof; or

 

(iii) default is made in the
deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security;

 

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium,
if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal
(and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

(b) If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

 

(c) If an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

 

Section 7.04. Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim. (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property
of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then
be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any) or interest) the Trustee shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(i) to file and prove a claim
for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file
such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders
allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 

    30 

     

    

(ii) to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

 

(b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under ‎Section
8.07.

 

(c) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 7.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted
and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment
has been recovered.

 

Section 7.06. Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation
of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts
due the Trustee under ‎Section 8.07;

 

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

 

THIRD: To the Company.

 

Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits. No
Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

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

 

    31 

     

    

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

 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered
to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance
with such request; and

 

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

 

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

 

Section 7.08. Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to ‎Section 2.07) interest on such Security on
the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 7.09. Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and
such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder,
then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and
the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

Section 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
in ‎Section 2.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon
or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 7.11. Delay or Omission not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event
of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to

 

    32 

     

    

the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section 7.12. Control by Holders. (a)
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

 

(i) the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction of the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed
may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer,
determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not
taking part in such direction, and

 

(ii) the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

(b) Upon receipt by the Trustee of any
such direction with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, the record date
for determining Holders of outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction shall be the day the Trustee
receives such direction, or, if such receipt occurs after the close of business or on a day that is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled
to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority
in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such direction shall automatically
and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. The Trustee may conclusively rely on any representation
by the Holders delivering such direction that such Holders constitute the requisite percentage to deliver such direction. Nothing
in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new direction
identical to a direction which has been canceled pursuant to the provisions to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record
date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section
7.12.

 

Section 7.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.
(a) The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf
of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to such series
and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:

 

(i) in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous
obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or

 

(ii) in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof which under ‎Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected.

 

    33 

     

    

(b) Upon any such waiver, such default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 7.14. Undertaking for Costs.
Each party to this Indenture agrees, and each Holder of any Security by acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity
or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

 

Section 7.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or
Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, 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 covenants that it will
not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

Article
8

The Trustee

 

Section 8.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith
on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but 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 be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the

 

    34 

     

    

requirements of this Indenture (but
need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 

(b) In case an Event of Default with respect
to any series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with respect to the Securities of such series
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such his own affairs.

 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall
be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

 

(i) this subsection shall not
be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;

 

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

 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction, determined
as provided in ‎Section 7.12, of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such series; and

 

(iv) no provision of this Indenture
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

Section 8.02. Notice of Defaults. Within
90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail
to all Holders of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known
to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case
of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment
of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall
be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee
of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee

 

    35 

     

    

in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default
of the character specified in ‎Section 7.01(d) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to Holders of such
series shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”
means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default.

 

Section 8.03. Certain Rights of Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 8.01:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation
to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant

have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

 

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make
any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other 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;

 

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be

 

    36 

     

    

responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

 

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

 

(i) 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 each agent, custodian and other Person employed to
act hereunder; and

 

(j) the Trustee may request that the Company
deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified
actions pursuant to this Indenture, provided that the Trustee reasonably believes that the last such certificate received from
the Company or currently on file is no longer accurate.

 

Section 8.04. Not Responsible for Recitals
or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility
for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.
The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof.

 

Section 8.05. May Hold Securities. The
Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections ‎8.08 and ‎8.13,
may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

 

Section 8.06. Money Held in Trust. Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

 

Section 8.07. Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Company agrees:

 

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to
time such reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and for its services hereunder as Trustee, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar and in all other capacities in which it is serving hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time
to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust);

 

    37 

     

    

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct; and

 

(c) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents,
directors, employees and officers for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or out-of-pocket expense
(including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) incurred without negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on its or their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder.

 

As security for the performance of the obligations
of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected
by the Trustee in such capacity, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any,
on particular Securities. If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration
under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The provisions
of this ‎Section 8.07 shall survive the resignation or removal
of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

 

Section 8.08. Disqualification; Conflicting
Interests. The Trustee shall comply with the terms of section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

Section 8.09. Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus
of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

 

Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of ‎Section 8.11.

 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance
by a

 

    38 

     

    

successor Trustee required by ‎Section
8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series.

 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time,
upon 30 days prior written notice with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

 

(d) If at any time:

 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to
comply with ‎Section 8.08 after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible under ‎Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

 

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

 

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution
may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to ‎Section
7.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities
and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed
or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities
of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to
the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of ‎Section
8.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of ‎Section
8.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed
by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by ‎Section
8.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all

 

    39 

     

    

others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(f) The Company shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all
Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the
name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor. 

 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee. On the request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and
each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary
or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary
or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of
such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein
and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates. On request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring

 

    40 

     

    

Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

 

(c) Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in clause ‎(a) and ‎(b) of this Section, as the case may be.

 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its
appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

 

Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation
or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated
such Securities.

 

Section 8.13. Preferential Collection
of Claims. The Trustee shall comply with section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed
in section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.

 

Section 8.14. Appointment of Authenticating
Agent. (a) At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may and, upon request of the Company,
shall appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities, which shall be authorized to
act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to ‎Section 2.06; provided
that the Trustee’s appointment of such Authenticating Agent shall be subject to the Company’s approval at the time
of and throughout such appointment. Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture
to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference
shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition
at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in

 

    41 

     

    

its most recent report of condition so published.
If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

(b) Any corporation into which an Authenticating
Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall
be otherwise eligible under this Section.

 

(c) An Authenticating Agent may resign
at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of
an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company, and the Trustee shall terminate
any such agency promptly upon request by the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the

Section 8.15. Consequential Damages.
In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, 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.

 

Section 8.16. Notices. The Trustee
agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission
or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received or have on
file an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures
of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or
deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar
electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of
such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly
or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict
or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods by the Company to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of
the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 

Section 8.17. Force Majeure. In no
event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising
out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages,
accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee
shall use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

    45 

     

    

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company,

with Consent of Holders. (a) With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures (acting as one class), by Act of said

of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series under this Indenture; provided, however,
that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

 

(i) change the Maturity of the
principal of, or the Stated Maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or the interest or any premium thereon, or change the method of computing the amount of principal thereof or interest
thereon on any date or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity or the
Stated Maturity, as the case may be, thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or the
Repayment Date, as the case may be);

 

(ii) reduce the percentage in

(b) For purposes of this ‎Section 10.02,
if the Securities of any series are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, each holder of an unexercised and unexpired warrant
with respect to such series shall be deemed to be a Holder of Outstanding Securities of such series in the amount issuable upon
the exercise of such warrant. For such purposes, the ownership of any such warrant shall be determined by the Company in a manner
consistent with customary commercial practice. The Trustee for such series shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate
as to the

 

    47 

     

    

principal amount of Securities of such series
in respect of which consents shall have been executed by holders of such warrants.

 

(c) A supplemental indenture which changes
or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one
or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect
to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities
of any other series.

 

(d) It shall not be necessary for any Act
of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient
if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

 

(e) The Company may set a record date for
purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to consent pursuant to this Section. Such record date shall
be the later of (i) 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or (ii) the date of the most recent list of Holders

‎Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the provisions hereof
(including ‎Section 10.05). The Trustee shall not be obligated

under this Indenture or otherwise.

Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance
therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes. Every Holder of Securities theretofore
or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

 

Section 10.05. Conformity with Trust
Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act, as then in effect, to the extent that a supplemental indenture is required to conform to the Trust Indenture Act,

to Supplemental Indentures. 

 

Securities authenticated and delivered after
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation

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

 

    49

of the Company, shall execute instruments of satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under ‎Section 8.07 and, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to ‎Section 11.01(a)(i)(B), the obligations of the Trustee under ‎Section 11.06 and
‎Section 5.03(e) shall survive.

 

Section 11.02. Company’s Option
to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless pursuant to ‎Section 2.01 provision is made for either or both of (a)
defeasance of the Securities of another series under ‎Section 11.03 not to be applicable with respect to the Securities of
a particular series or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of another series under ‎Section

together with the other provisions of Sections ‎11.03, ‎11.04,
‎11.05 and ‎11.06, shall be applicable to the Securities of such particular series, and the Company may at its option by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such particular series, elect to have either
Section ‎11.03 or Section ‎11.04 be applied to the Outstanding
Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in Sections ‎11.03, ‎11.04,
‎11.05 and ‎11.06.

 

Section 11.03. Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Company’s exercise of the option set forth in Section ‎11.02 and satisfaction of the conditions to defeasance
set forth in Section ‎11.05, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture
insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders
of Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section ‎11.05 and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such
payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections ‎2.04, ‎2.05, ‎2.06,

of such series.

 

    50 

     

    

Section 11.04. Covenant Defeasance. Upon
the Company’s exercise of the option set forth in ‎Section 11.02 and satisfaction of the conditions to defeasance set
forth in ‎Section 11.05, the Company shall be released from
its obligations under Sections ‎5.04, ‎5.05, ‎5.06, ‎6.01 and ‎9.04 and any other covenants to be applicable
to the Securities of a series as specified pursuant to ‎Section 2.01
unless specified otherwise pursuant to such Section (and the failure to comply with any such provisions shall not constitute a
default or Event of Default under ‎Section 7.01), and the occurrence
of any event described in Sections ‎(d), ‎(g) and ‎(h) and any other events of default to be
applicable to the Securities of a series as specified pursuant to ‎Section
2.01 unless specified otherwise pursuant to such Section shall not constitute a default or Event of Default hereunder, with
respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such 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 Section with respect to it, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document,
but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

11.03 or ‎Section 11.04 to the Outstanding Securities of such series:

 

(a) the Company shall irrevocably have

agree to comply with the provisions of this ‎Article 11 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of such Securities,
(i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a
combination thereof, sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (A) the principal of (and premium, if any) on and each installment
of principal of (premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal
or installment of principal or interest and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding
Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and of such Securities. For this purpose, “U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (x) direct
obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of
a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of
which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case,

    51 

     

    

Obligation held by such custodian for the
account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to
make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in
respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation
evidenced by such depository receipt;

 

(b) no Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on
the 91st day after such date (other than an Event of Default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to such
deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowing);

 

(c) such defeasance or covenant defeasance
shall not cause the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture
Act with respect to any securities of the Company;

 

(d) such defeasance or covenant defeasance
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which it is bound;

 

(e) such defeasance or covenant defeasance
shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Exchange Act
to be delisted;

 

(f) in the case of an election under
‎Section 11.03, the Company shall have delivered to the

tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the
Outstanding Securities of such series 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;

 

(g) in the case of an election under
‎Section 11.04, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Securities of such series 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;

 

(h) such defeasance or covenant defeasance
shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection
therewith pursuant to ‎Section 2.01;

 

(i) the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to either
the defeasance under ‎Section 11.03 or the covenant defeasance
under ‎Section 11.04, as the case may be, have been complied
with and that such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any

 

    52 

     

    

Securities of such series then listed on any
registered national securities exchange under the Exchange Act to be delisted;

 

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

 

(k) the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the such deposit under ‎Section 11.06 shall not result in the trust arising
from such deposit constituting an investment company (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), or such trust
shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from registration hereunder.

 

Section 11.06. Deposited Money and U.S.
Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of ‎Section
5.03(e), all money deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively, for purposes of this ‎Section
11.06, the “Trustee”), all money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee and all money
received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee, pursuant to ‎Section
11.01 or ‎11.05, in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such 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 its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

(a) The Company shall pay and indemnify
the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant
to ‎Section 11.05 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 such series.

 

(b) Anything in this ‎Article 11 to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in ‎Section
11.05 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance and pay any obligations owed or accrued in favor of the Trustee.

12

Guarantee

 

Section 12.01. Applicability of Article.
Except as otherwise provided or contemplated by the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(b)(xvii)
and provided that such series of Securities include a notation to the effect described in ‎Section 2.01(b)(xvii) expressly

 

    53 

     

    

set forth in such Securities, all Securities
of all series shall be entitled to the benefit of this ‎Article 12.

 

Section 12.02. Guarantee.

 

(a) The Guarantor hereby fully, irrevocably
and unconditionally guarantees, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on the Securities when due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods
of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities (the Indenture and the Securities being hereinafter
collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations
may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantor, and that the Guarantor will
remain bound under this Article notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

 

(b) The Guarantor waives presentation to,
demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.
The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including the Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of
any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities; (iv) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any
right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) except as set forth in ‎Section 12.07, any
change in the ownership of the Guarantor.

 

(c) The Guarantor further agrees that its
Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

 

(d) Except as expressly set forth in Sections
‎12.06, ‎12.07, ‎11.03 and ‎11.04 of this Indenture, the obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected
by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture or the
Securities, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance
of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner
or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or
equity.

 

    54 

     

    

(e) The Guarantor further agrees that its
Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee
upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

 

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof,
upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest (and premium, if any) on any Guaranteed Obligation when and
as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, by repurchase or otherwise, or to perform or
comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee
or the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations
(but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders
and the Trustee.

 

(g) The Guarantor agrees that it shall
not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in
cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
‎Article 7 for the purposes of the Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration
of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in ‎Article 7, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. The Guarantor agrees that any
right of indemnity, subrogation or contribution it may have under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(h) The Guarantor also agrees to pay any
and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any
rights under this Article.

 

(i) It shall not be necessary for the guarantee
of the Guarantor to be endorsed upon any Security.

 

Section 12.03. Successors And Assigns.
This ‎Article 12 shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or
the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend
to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

 

Section 12.04. No Waiver. Neither
a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this ‎Article
12 shall operate as a

 

    55 

     

    

waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of
the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits
which either may have under this ‎Article 12 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

Section 12.05. Modification.

 

(a) No modification, amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Article, nor the consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective
(i) unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and (ii) with respect to the Holder of a Security adversely affected
thereby, unless such Holder consents thereto, and, in each case, then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given.

 

(b) No notice to or demand on the Guarantor
in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 12.06. Limitation on Liability.
Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
guaranteed hereunder by the Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this
Indenture, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

Section 12.07. Release Of Guarantor.
(a) The Guarantee by the Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and the Guarantor shall be deemed to
be released from all obligations upon:

 

(i) the sale or other disposition
(including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor, other than to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and as
permitted by this Indenture;

 

(ii) the sale or disposition
of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor, other than to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and as permitted
by this Indenture; and

 

(iii) the Company’s exercise
of its option under ‎Section 11.03 or ‎Section 11.04 or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

 

(b) If the Guarantee of the Guarantor is
deemed to be released or is automatically released, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating
the identity of the released Guarantor, the basis for release in reasonable detail, and that such release complies with this Indenture.
At the written request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
which may be subject to customary exceptions and qualifications, each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture
to the release of the Guarantor have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any

 

    56 

     

    

documents reasonably required in order to
evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Guarantee (it being understood that the failure to
obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to subsection (a)).

 

This instrument may
be executed in any number of counterparts,

each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,

but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
