    8

     

    

 

All Securities of any
one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture,
if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to
above.

 

Section 2.3.         
Execution and Authentication.

 

An Officer shall sign
the Securities for the Company by manual, facsimile, electronic or portable document format signature. Any notation of Guarantee
on the Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer by manual, facsimile, electronic or portable document
format signature in the name and on behalf of the Guarantor.

 

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, facsimile, electronic or portable document format 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 Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, upon receipt by the Trustee of
a Company Order, Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery
pursuant to electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents. Each Security shall be dated the date
of its authentication.

 

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 Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s 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 Officer’s 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 Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 11.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.4.

 

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 determines that such action would expose the Trustee
to personal liability.

 

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 the Trustee to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

    9

     

    

 

 

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 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 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 served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however, that any appointment
of the Trustee as the Notice Agent shall exclude the appointment of the Trustee or any office of the Trustee as an agent to receive
the service of legal process on the Company. The Company may change any Registrar or Paying Agent of a Series without notice to
any Holder.

 

The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional 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 additional 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 or any of its Affiliates
may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent.

 

The Company hereby appoints
the Trustee to act as 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.

 

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 Securityholders 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 in writing 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 and to account
for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. 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 Securityholders of any Series
of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to
the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

 

    10 

     

    

 

Section 2.6.         
Securityholder Lists.

 

The Registrar shall preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders
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 and Registrar at least 10 days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses
of Securityholders 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 at
the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment by the applicable Securityholders 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 15 days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected
for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange
of Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such
Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

 

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 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 bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents 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 receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

    11 

     

    

 

If, after the delivery
of such replacement Security, a bona fide purchaser of the original Security in lieu of which such replacement Security was issued
presents for payment or registration such original Security, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Security
from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Company, the Trustee and the Agent shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor.

 

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. Subject to the foregoing and to Section 2.10, in determining whether the Holders
of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX hereof), only
Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination.

 

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 Stated Maturity of
Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay all amounts payable in respect of such Securities 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.

 

    12 

     

    

 

The Company or an Affiliate
may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below).

 

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 Stated Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

Section 2.10.     
When Securities Disregarded.

 

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 a Responsible Officer actually 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 shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order in
accordance with the procedures in Section 2.3. 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 Stated
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. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention
requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request
of the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

 

    13 

     

    

 

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 Securityholders 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 special record date, the Company shall
send to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special 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 Officer’s Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.2. 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 and in addition thereto,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 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 Officer’s
Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.

 

Except as provided in
this 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.

 

Any Holder of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest agree that transfers of beneficial interests in
such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or
its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such
Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.

 

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

 

    14 

     

    

 

“THIS
SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, WHICH MAY BE TREATED BY THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE AND ANY AGENT THEREOF AS OWNER AND HOLDER OF
THIS SECURITY FOR ALL PURPOSES. TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO
NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITARY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS
GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO
ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.”

 

In addition, if and so
long as the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is the Depositary, each Global Note registered in the name of DTC
or its nominee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“UNLESS THIS GLOBAL
NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”),
TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO
CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST
HEREIN.”

 

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. 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 or by the applicable procedures of such 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 and
neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any liability or responsibility for any action or inaction of the Depositary or
any clearinghouse.

 

    15 

     

    

 

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.

 

ARTICLE III.

REDEMPTION

 

Section 3.1.         
Notice to Trustee.

 

The Company may, with
respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and
pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided
for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated
Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities (identified by CUSIP) to be redeemed. The Company
shall give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee.

 

Section 3.2.         
Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

Unless otherwise
indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the
Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows: (a) if the Securities are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance
with the procedures of the Depositary, (b) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or (c) if
not otherwise provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by
lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of
Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of Securities of
the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and portions
of them selected for redemption 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 2.2.11, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and
the authorized 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. Notices of redemption may be subject to
the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent to the extent so indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2; otherwise, a
notice of redemption may not be conditional. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to such redemption (to
the extent so indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or
Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2), Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due on
the date fixed for redemption at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the
redemption date. On and after the redemption date, unless the Company defaults in paying the applicable redemption price,
interest ceases to accrue or accrete on Securities or portions of them called for redemption. If a redemption is subject to
the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (to the extent so indicated for a particular Series of Securities by a
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2), the
redemption date may be delayed by the Company until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by
the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any
or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption
date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In such case, references herein to “redemption date” mean the
original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed.

 

    16 

     

    

 

Section 3.3.         
Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless otherwise indicated
for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 2.2, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send or cause to be sent
by first-class mail or electronically, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed.

 

The notice shall identify
the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(a)              
the redemption date;

 

(b)              
the redemption price, including interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the redemption date;

 

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

 

(d)              
if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original
Security;

 

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

 

(f)               
any conditions precedent to such redemption and, if the Company elects to do so, that the redemption date may be delayed
until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion);

 

(g)              
that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless
the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price;

 

(h)              
the CUSIP number, if any; and

 

    17 

     

    

 

(i)                
any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

 

At the Company’s
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.

 

Section 3.4.         
Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once notice of redemption
is sent 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. Except as otherwise provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, 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 of Redemption Price.

 

On or before 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date, other than Securities or portions of Securities
called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee or the Paying Agent
shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company
in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. If such
money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

 

If the Company complies
with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities
or the portions of the Securities called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after a regular record date but on or
prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such
Security was registered at the close of business on such regular record date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall
be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest
not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities.

 

Section 3.6.         
Securities Redeemed in Part.

 

Upon surrender of a Security
that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same maturity
equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is so required to be filed with the SEC. Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.2 are for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt
of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall nave no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness

covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever

which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company and the Guarantor (to the
extent they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that they will not,
by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

 

Section 4.5.         
Existence.

 

Subject to Article V
hereof, each of the Company and the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall

the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of Securityholders of that Series.

 

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 to, but not including, the date of acceleration, 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)
specifying the Event of Default, 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 60 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, if any, 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 compensation, reasonable 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.

 

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 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.

 

    24

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

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 compensation, reasonable 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,

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 compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.

 

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 compensation, reasonable 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.

of all amounts due the Trustee or any Agent under Section 7.7; and

 

Second: To the payment

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)

expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee 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

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, any Agent or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default

Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and

 

(d)              
prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity and security
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

 

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, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, 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.

 

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 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 interest on any Security on or after the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

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 person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

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

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 Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s
Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture.

 

(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, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power.

  

    29

     

    

 

(f)

(g)         
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability

risk is not assured to the Trustee in its satisfaction.

 

(h)          
Each Agent and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections and immunities as are set forth in Article
VII with respect to the Trustee.

 

Section 7.2.         
Rights of Trustee.

 

(a)          
The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether
in its original or facsimile form) 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 Officer’s 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 Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 

(c)

with due care. 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.

authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in reliance thereon.

 

(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

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

 

    30

     

    

 

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

 

(i)            
In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage.

 

(j)            
The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation
or duty to do so.

Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity, or otherwise, for the obligations evidenced
by the Securities.

 

(l)

(n)           
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.

 

(o)          
The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or
titles of Officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate

in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

 

Section 7.3.         
Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of

is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

    31

     

    

 

Section 7.4.         
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 7.5.         
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 actually known to a Responsible Officer,
the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of such Default or Event of Default within
90 days after a Responsible Officer has knowledge 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, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of Securityholders of that Series.

 

Section 7.6.         
Reports by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within 60 days after
each anniversary of the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses
appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the
extent required under, TIA § 313.

 

A copy of each report
at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each national securities exchange on
which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are
listed (or delisted as the case may be) on any national securities exchange.

 

Section 7.7.         
Compensation and Indemnity.

 

The Company shall pay
to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) 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 and
each Guarantor shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including for the cost of defending itself)
against any cost, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income
of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this
Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity,
although the failure to so notify shall not negate any indemnification obligation hereunder. The Company or the applicable
Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel in
each applicable jurisdiction 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 will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall
apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

 

    32

     

    

 

The Company and any Guarantor
need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director,
employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

 

To secure the Company’s
and each Guarantor’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 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 or removal of the Trustee.

 

Section 7.8.         
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.

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 outstanding Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with
respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company at least 30 days prior. The Company may, upon 30-day notice,
remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)          
the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

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

 

    33

     

    

 

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 (at the expense of the Company in the case of a petition by the Trustee), the Company or the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 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 shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section
7.7, 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 Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit
of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance
with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement. The resigning or removed Trustee shall have
no liability or responsibility for the action or inaction of any successor Trustee.

 

Section 7.9.         
Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

 

If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the
successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10.

 

Section 7.10.     
Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

This Indenture shall
always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA § 310(b).

 

Section 7.11.     
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

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

of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm, subject to customary exclusions, that the Holders of the Securities
of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, covenant defeasance
and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such deposit, covenant defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

 

(e)          
The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

 

(f)           
The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied
with.

 

    38

     

    

 

Section 8.5.         
Repayment to Company.

 

Subject to applicable
abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment
of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to
the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

 

Section 8.6.         
Reinstatement.

 

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

 

ARTICLE IX.

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

 

Section 9.1.         
Without Consent of Holders.

 

The Company, the Guarantor
(in the case of a Guaranteed Series of Securities) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of
one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder:

 

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

to add Guarantees with respect to Securities of any Series or secure Securities of any Series;

 

(e)          
to surrender any of the Company’s rights or powers under this Indenture;

 

(f)           
to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of any Series;

to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;

 

    39

     

    

 

(h)          
to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder;

 

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

 

(j)            
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities

the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee;

 

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

 

(l)            
to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge
of any of the Securities of any Series; provided, that the action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of the Securities of any Series.

 

Section 9.2.         
With Consent of Holders.

 

The Company, the Guarantor
(in the case of a Guaranteed Series of Securities) 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 Securityholders 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 send to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice
briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to send 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 Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

 

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

  

    40

     

    

 

(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 not made at the Company’s
option.

 

Section 9.4.         
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every amendment to this
Indenture or the 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 Securityholder 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.

 

The Company may,
but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is
fixed, then notwithstanding the second immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent
previously given or take any such action, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

 

    41

     

    

 

Section 9.6.         
Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

 

The Company or 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 in accordance
with Section 2.3 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 Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon
delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental
indenture that adversely affects its rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture. Each Opinion of Counsel provided
in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture shall also provide that the supplemental indenture is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company (and any Guarantor) in accordance with its terms.

 

ARTICLE X.

GUARANTEES

 

This Article X shall
apply only to a Series of Securities that is indicated in a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 as having a Guarantee and only for so long as, and to the extent of, such Guarantee.

 

Section 10.1.       
Guarantee.

 

(a)              
Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, the Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it receives substantial
benefits from the Company and the Guarantor is providing the Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including, without
limitation, such substantial benefits, and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Guaranteed Series of Securities (which
Security has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee), and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective
of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Guaranteed Series of Securities, or the obligations of the Company hereunder
or thereunder, that:

 

(1)          the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Guaranteed Series of Securities will be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Guaranteed Series of Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company
to the Holders of Guaranteed Series of Securities, or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, will be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;

 

    42

     

    

 

(2)        
in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Guaranteed Series of Securities or any of such other obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
at Stated Maturity, or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise; and

 

(3)         
in case there shall be more than one Guarantor under any Guaranteed Series of Securities, the obligations of the Guarantors
shall be joint and several.

 

Failing payment
when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay
the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

 

(b)         
To the extent permitted under applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guaranteed Series of Securities
are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Series of Securities or this Indenture,
the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Guaranteed Series of Securities with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor
hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that the Guaranteed Series of Securities will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Guaranteed Series of Securities and this Indenture.

 

(c)           
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian,
trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by either
to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

 

(d)           The
Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that,
to the extent permitted under applicable law, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders of Guaranteed Series
of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration
of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (regardless of whether due and payable) will forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantees.

 

    43

     

    

 

Section 10.2.       
Limitation of Guarantee.

 

The Guarantor, and by
its acceptance of a Guaranteed Series of Securities, each Holder thereof, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (including
pursuant to Sections 547 through and including Section 533 of the Bankruptcy Law), the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that
the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and
all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections
from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of the Guarantor in respect of the obligations of the
Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance.

 

The Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees, to the extent permitted under applicable law, that in the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, the Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate
in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even temporarily) execution on the Guarantee and hereby
waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Section 362 or 105 of the Bankruptcy Law
or otherwise.

 

Section 10.3.       
Execution and Delivery of Guarantee Notation.

 

To evidence its Guarantee
set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, the Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of Guarantee in such form as shall be established
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.2, shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor on each Guaranteed Series of Securities authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee.

 

The Guarantor hereby
agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to
execute a notation of Guarantee on any such Guaranteed Series of Securities.

 

If an officer whose signature
is on such Security or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security
on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

 

The delivery of any Guaranteed
Series of Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
of such Guaranteed Series of Securities set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

 

    44

     

    

 

Section
10.4.        Release
of Guarantee.

 

Any Guarantee other than
the Guarantee of the General Partner shall be automatically and unconditionally released: (i) upon the sale or other disposition
(including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total
voting power of the capital stock or other interests of such Guarantor (other than to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company);
or (ii) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the property of such Guarantor (other than to any Affiliate of
the Company). A Guarantee also shall be released with respect to a Guaranteed Series of Securities as provided in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2. Any Guarantee, with respect to a Guaranteed
Series of Securities, also will be released if the Company exercises its legal defeasance or its covenant defeasance option with
respect to such Series as set forth in Article VIII, or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to
such Series are discharged as set forth in Section 8.4. The Company will give written notice as promptly as practicable to the
Trustee of the automatic release of any Guarantee pursuant to this Section 10.4. At the Company’s request, the Trustee will
execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments evidencing any such release upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel (which the Trustee will be fully protected in relying upon) stating that such documents, instructions
or instruments are permitted or authorized by 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 12.2. 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 12.2.       
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 Officer’s 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 12.2, 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.

Section 12.3.        Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 45 days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 2.2) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s 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 thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional
amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture
hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities
to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and the Company shall
send or cause to be sent a notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the
manner provided in and in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall
be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
