to above.

 

    11

     

    

 

		Section
                            2.3	Execution
and Authentication.

 

Two
Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

 

If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid.

 

A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto
or an Officers’ Certificate.

 

The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount
for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.

 

Prior
to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the
Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within
that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with
Section 10.4.

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors
or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose
the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.

 

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

 

		Section
                            2.4	Registrar
and Paying Agent.

 

The
Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant
to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”),
where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, conversion or exchange (“Registrar”) and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered (“Notice
Agent”). The Trustee or Notice Agent, as applicable, shall deliver such notices and demands to the Company in accordance with Section 10.2
hereof. The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying
Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or delivered 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.

 

    12

     

    

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or notice agents and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for
Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or notice agent. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Notice
Agent” includes any additional notice agent.

 

The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying
Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

 

The
Company hereby appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Securities. 

 

	Section 2.5	Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 

The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the
benefit of Security Holders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal
of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While
any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than
the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Security Holders of any Series of Securities
all money held by it as Paying Agent. 

 

	Section 2.6	Security
Holder Lists.

 

The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of Security Holders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Security
Holders of each Series of Securities. 

 

	Section
2.7	Transfer
and Exchange.

 

Where
Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if
its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities
upon receipt of a Company Order. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable
in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections
2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 

 

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

 

    13

     

    

 

	Section 2.8	Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

 

If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu
of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

 

In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

 

Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. 

 

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

 

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

 

	Section
2.9	Outstanding
Securities.

 

The
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions
hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

 

If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities
of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

 

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

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for
such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2. 

 

    14

     

    

 

	Section
2.10	Treasury
Securities.

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

 

	Section
2.11	Temporary
Securities.

 

Until
definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate
temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange
for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive
Securities. 

 

	Section 2.12	Cancellation.

 

The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon receipt of written instruction from the Company,
the Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such
canceled Securities and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company otherwise directs. The Company may
not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

 

	Section
2.13	Defaulted
Interest.

 

If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted
by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Security Holders of the Series on a subsequent special
record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the record date, the Company shall mail
to the Trustee and to each Security Holder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest
to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 

 

	Section
2.14	Global
Securities.

 

2.14.1
Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the
Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global
Security or Securities. 

 

2.14.2
Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition
thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names
of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing
agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 

 

    15

     

    

 

Except
as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to
such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary
or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 

 

The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by
the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

 

2.14.3
Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

 

“This
Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary
or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary
or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary
to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.” 

 

2.14.4
Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 

 

2.14.5
Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment
of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 

 

2.14.6
Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a
person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified
in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations,
waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 

 

	Section
2.15	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 elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers.

3.1	Notice

Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to

accordance with DTC procedures, as applicable. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations
larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination
for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption
also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.

	Section
3.4	Effect
of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once
notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due
and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the
Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

 

	Section 3.5	Deposit

		Section
                            6.2	Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on 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) and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the
principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities 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. 

 

At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the
principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 

 

No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

 

The
Company covenants that if 

 

(a)
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 

 

(b)
default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or 

 

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

 

then,
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 interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

 

If
the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final
decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed
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. 

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to any 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 pursuing any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity 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
                            6.4	Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.

 

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, the Trustee (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 or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

 

(a)
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal 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 

 

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

 

and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.8. 

 

    21

     

    

 

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

 

		Section
                            6.5	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.

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 7.8; and 

 

Second:
To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of 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 interest, respectively; and 

 

Third:
To the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 

 

		Section
                            6.7	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; 

 

(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 satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

 

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

 

(e)
no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 

 

it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
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 such Holders.

                            6.8	Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal 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 interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated 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
                            6.9	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
                            6.10	Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8,
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, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right
or remedy. 

 

		Section
                            6.11	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 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
                            6.12	Control

The
Holders of not less than 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 

 

(a)
such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

 

(b)
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and 

 

(c)
subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee
in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability. 

 

		Section
                            6.13	Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default
that resulted from such acceleration). 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. 

 

    23

     

    

 

		Section
                            6.14	Undertaking
for Costs.

 

All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his 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 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 interest on any Security on or after
the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

VII

TRUSTEE 

 

		Section
                            7.1	Duties
of Trustee.

 

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

 

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

 

(i)
The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 

 

(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 Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions
of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy
of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)
The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities of
any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of such 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. 

 

(d)
Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

against any loss, liability or expense. 

 

    24

     

    

 

(f)
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

 

(g)
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties, 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 is not reasonably assured to it. 

 

(h)
The Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Notice Agent, any agent and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections, immunities
and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee.

of Trustee.

 

(a)
The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

 

(b)
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel. No such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be at the expense of the Trustee. Any request or
direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate.

No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary. 

 

(d)
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any special, punitive or consequential damages, even if they were reasonably foreseeable. 

 

(e)
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, and the Trustee may conclusively rely
on any such advice or Opinion of Counsel. 

 

 

(f)
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

against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

 

(g)
The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit. 

 

(h)
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default under Section 6.1
or 6.2) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of any event which is in fact such a default at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series 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 enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder.

                            7.3	Force
Majeure.

 

(a)
The Trustee shall have no liability for delays or inability to perform its duties hereunder due to forces majeures, events
beyond its control, such as (but not exclusively) civil unrest, earthquakes, hurricanes or other natural disasters, floods, utility failures,
transmission interruptions, power failures, wars, governmental declarations or Acts of God; it being understood that the Trustee shall
use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable
under the circumstances.

		Section
                            7.4	Individual
Rights of Trustee.

Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

		Section
                            7.5	Trustee’s
Disclaimer.

 

The
Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the
Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than
its authentication. 

 

		Section
                            7.6	Notice
of Defaults.

 

If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail (or deliver notice subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary or relevant
clearing system) to each Security Holder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after
it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice of such Default or Event of Default. Except in
the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, or in the payment of
any sinking fund installment, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Security Holders of that Series. 

 

    26

     

    

 

		Section
                            7.7	Reports
by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within
60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Security Holders, as their names and addresses appear
on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under,
TIA § 313. 

 

A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Security Holders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange
on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed
on any stock exchange. 

 

		Section
                            7.8	Compensation
and Indemnity.

 

The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time
agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

 

The
Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any loss, liability or expense (including the cost of
defending itself) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of the Trustee duties under this Indenture
as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that
failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve it of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense; provided, however, the Trustee may conduct its own defense if there is a conflict of interest between
the interests of the Company and those of the Trustee. The Trustee may have one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel, if applicable)
and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without
its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders
and Agents or agents of the Trustee. 

 

The
Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director,
employee, shareholder, Agent or agent of the Trustee to the extent it is attributed to its own negligence or willful conduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. 

 

To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities
of that Series. 

 

When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

 

The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee. 

 

		Section
                            7.9	Replacement
of Trustee.

 

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

 

The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date
of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with
respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of

a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 

If
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities
of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

 

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee upon payment of its fees and expenses then unpaid shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.8, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities
for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Security Holder
of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.9, the Company’s obligations under
Section 7.8 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it
prior to such replacement.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

 

		Section
                            9.1	Without
Consent of Holders.

 

The
Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Security
Holder: 

 

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

 

(b)
to comply with Article V; 

 

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

to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;

 

(f)
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
Series and to 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; or 

 

(g)
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA. 

 

		Section
                            9.2	With
Consent of Holders.

 

The
Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Security Holders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or
the Securities with respect to such Series. 

 

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental
indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice
briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

 

		Section
                            9.3	Limitations.

 

Without
the consent of each Security Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 

 

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

 

    32

     

    

 

(b)
reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

 

(c)
reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment
of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 

 

(d)
reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 

 

(e)
waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration
of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series
and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

 

(f)
make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security; 

 

(g)
make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or 

 

(h)
waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s option. 

 

		Section
                            9.4	Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every
amendment or waiver to this Indenture or the issuance of and establishment of the form and terms and conditions of Securities of one
or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 

 

		Section
                            9.5	Revocation
and Effect of Consents.

 

Until
an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the
supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 

 

Any
amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Security Holder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is
of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each
Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 

 

		Section
                            9.6	Notation
on or Exchange of Securities.

 

The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company
in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order new Securities
of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

 

		Section
                            9.7	Trustee
Protected.

 

In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects
its rights.

by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular
action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency
other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for
the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate
at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New
York City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of
ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto)
as published in the Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”).
If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion
and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange
as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one
or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg
or such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate.
The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated
in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

 

All
decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding
paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive
for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

		Section 10.16	Judgment
Currency.

 

The
Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities
of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”),
the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City
of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such
day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding
the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required
Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in
accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery
shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such
payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to
be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes
of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York
on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

of Article.

 

The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise
permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

 

The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such 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 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities
of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series. 

 

		Section 11.2	Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The
Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant
to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable
(other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of
such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided
that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’
Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities
for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery
or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series
to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such
Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee
or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall
from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or
such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid
principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory 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

Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and

9.GENERAL PROVISIONS.
9.1Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the issuance of Target Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.
9.2Non-transferability. A Participant’s rights and interests under the Plan, including any Target Award previously made to such person or any amounts payable under the Plan, may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred, except in the event of the Participant’s death, to a designated beneficiary in accordance with the Plan, or in the absence of such designation, by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
9.3No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any notice of Target Award shall confer upon any person the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate or affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Participant.
9.4No Right to Target Award. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an employment agreement signed by the Company and a Participant, a Participant shall not have any right to a Target Award under the Plan until such Target Award has been issued to such Participant. Participation in the Plan in one (1) Plan Year or 
11

Performance Cycle does not connote or confer any right to participate in the Plan in any future Plan Year or Performance Cycle.
9.5Target Award Confidentiality. Target Awards and Award Payments under the Plan are confidential. Failure by a Participant to keep Target Awards and Award Payments confidential may render the Participant ineligible for any future Target Awards or Award Payments under the Plan.
9.6Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold from an Award Payment any federal, state or local income and/or payroll taxes required by law to be withheld, any other applicable withholdings or deductions, and to take such other action as the Company may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other obligations relating to an Award Payment.
The Company shall also be entitled to withhold from an Award Payment any amounts owed by a Participant to the Company. Participants will only receive the net amount remaining after all applicable taxes, withholdings and deductions have been collected.
9.7Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board or the Committee, may amend, alter, cancel, suspend, modify or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.
9.8Unfunded Status. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary or legal representative or any other person. To the extent that a person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
9.9Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Venue. The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of the Plan regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws. The parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Plan shall be brought to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Arlington County (Virginia) or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division). The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection a party may have to the laying of venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court. THE PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE 
12

ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If any one or more provisions of the Plan shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the specific intent of the parties that such provisions shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.
9.10Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In the event that any Award Payment does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Board and the Committee will have full authority to give effect to the intent of the foregoing. To the extent necessary to give effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between the Plan and a provision of any Target Award, the Plan will govern.
Without limiting the generality of this Section 9.10, with respect to any Target Award made under the Plan that is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A:
(a)any payment due upon a Participant’s termination of employment will be paid only upon such Participant’s separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A;
(b)any payment to be made with respect to such Target Award in connection with the Participant’s separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (and any other payment that would be subject to the limitations in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code) will be delayed until six (6) months after the Participant’s separation from service (or earlier death) in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A;
(c)if the Target Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment; and
(d)for purposes of determining whether the Participant has experienced a separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, “subsidiary” will mean a corporation or other entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity, starting with the Company, has a controlling interest in another corporation or other entity in the chain, ending with such corporation or other entity. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “controlling interest” has the same meaning as provided in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, provided that the language “at least 20 
13

percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations.
9.11Section Headings. The headings of the Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference only and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such headings, shall control.
9.12Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be considered illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been contained therein.
9.13Non-exclusive. Nothing in the Plan shall limit the authority of the Company, the Board or the Committee to adopt other compensation arrangements for any Participant.
9.14Successors. Subject to Section 9.7, all obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Target Awards granted hereunder shall be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
9.15Effect on Other Benefits. Amounts paid or payable under the Plan may be taken into account in determining payments or benefits under any other compensation or benefit plan, but only to the extent provided for, or not explicitly prohibited by, any governing plan documents.
9.16Non-Solicitation. During the term of Participant’s employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of the Participant’s employment, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, either on Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other individual or commercial enterprise: (i) Solicit, induce or assist any third party in Soliciting or inducing any individual or entity who is then (or was at any time within the preceding twelve (12) months) an employee, consultant, independent contractor or agent of Company (collectively, “Covered Employee”) to leave the employment of the Company or cease performing services for the Company; (ii) hire or engage or assist any third party in hiring or engaging, any Covered Employee; or (iii) Solicit, induce or assist any third party in Soliciting or inducing any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any third-party service provider or distributor) to terminate its relationship with the Company or otherwise interfere with such relationship.
This non-solicitation provision explicitly covers all forms of oral, written, or electronic communication, including, but not limited to, communications by email, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, and social 
14

media, including, but not limited to, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and any other social media platform, whether or not in existence at the time of entering into the Plan. However, it will not be deemed a violation of this Section if the Participant merely updates the Participant’s LinkedIn profile or connects with a Covered Employee on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social media platform without engaging in any other substantive communication, by social media or otherwise, that is prohibited by this Section 9.16.
9.17Forfeiture for Violation of Restrictive Covenants. The issuance of an Award Payment and Participant’s agreement to the Restrictive Covenants are intended to be mutually dependent promises and in the event Participant breaches or threatens to breach the Restrictive Covenants, then to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any Award Payment that has not yet been paid shall cease to be payable and (ii) any Award Payment that has been paid to Participant during the twelve (12) months prior to Participant’s breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants that have not yet been paid to Participant shall be forfeited for no consideration.
9.18Clawback. In the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results (other than a restatement caused by a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations), the result of which is that an Award Payment paid pursuant to the Plan would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated results, the Committee shall review such Award Payment. If the Committee determines: (i) the amount of any such Award Payment actually paid to a Participant would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated financial statements, and (ii) such restatement is the result of negligence, misconduct, deception, non-disclosure, policy violation or fraud by a Participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, require repayment of a portion or all of any Award Payment from any Participants knowledgeable of, responsible for, or contributing to, the negligence, misconduct, deception, non-disclosure, policy violation or fraud resulting in the restatement (such difference, the “Excess Compensation”). If the Committee determines to seek repayment for the Excess Compensation, it shall issue a written demand for repayment from the Participant and, if the Participant does not within a reasonable period thereafter tender repayment in response to such demand, and the Committee determines the Participant is unlikely to do so, the Committee may authorize the Company to seek a court order against the Participant for such repayment.
The Company shall not be required to pay Participants any additional amounts in the event restated financial results would have otherwise resulted in a higher Award Payment.
The actions permitted to be taken under this Section 9.18 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other rights of the Board, the Committee and/or the 
15

Company under applicable law and shall apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan.
9.19Shortened Statute of Limitations.  Each Participant agrees to shorten the applicable statute of limitations and agrees that no claims or causes of actions may be brought against the Company or any its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents or representatives based upon, directly or indirectly, any claim that arises under the Plan more than twelve (12) months after the date of the action that is the subject of the claim or lawsuit.  Each Participant agrees to waive any statute of limitations to the contrary.
