4.    Severance Compensation.
4.1    Severance Compensation in the Event of a Termination Upon a Change in Control. In the event Officer’s employment is terminated in a Termination Upon a Change in Control, Officer shall be paid as severance compensation an amount equal to (a) three times her annual Base Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such termination) plus (b) the greater of two times: (i) the average annual Bonus Compensation, if any, earned by Officer in the two years immediately preceding the date of termination and (ii) $720,000.00, plus (c) any pro-rated  portion of the Bonus Compensation that Officer would have earned for a given period in which the termination occurs (if she had remained employed for the entire period), based on the number of days in such period that had elapsed as of the termination date, payable at the time that the Corporation pays bonuses to its executive officers for such period; provided, however, that such Bonus Compensation shall be payable only if Officer remained employed for at least half of the period for which the Bonus Compensation would have been payable, plus (d) any pro-rated portion of equity compensation under the Incentive Plans that Officer would have earned for a given period in which the termination occurs (if she had remained employed for the entire period), based on the number of days in such period that had elapsed as of the termination date, payable in either stock or cash at the Corporation’s election and at the time that the Corporation pays such equity compensation awards to its executive officers for such period; provided, however, that such equity compensation award shall be payable only if Officer remained employed for at least half of the period for which the award would have been payable. Such severance compensation shall be paid in a lump sum promptly after the date of such termination, subject to the limitations of Section 4.4. The parties intend that, to the greatest extent possible, such severance compensation be treated as made pursuant to a “separation pay plan,” and not subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 4.4, as provided under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9), and agree to pay such severance in separate installments if the amount of severance hereunder exceeds the limits thereof. To the extent permissible under the group health benefit plans of the Corporation (or its successor), Officer may continue to participate in such plans under the same terms as active employees, pursuant to continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), until the expiration of such COBRA continuation coverage. Officer is under no obligation to mitigate the amount owed Officer pursuant to this Section 4.1 by seeking other employment or otherwise.
4.2    Severance Compensation in the Event of a Termination Other Than For Cause. In the event Officer’s employment is terminated in a Termination Other Than For Cause, Officer shall be paid as severance compensation her Base Salary (at the rate payable at 
    6

the time of such termination), for a period of 18 months from the date of such termination, on the dates specified in Section 3.1. Officer is under no obligation to mitigate the amount owed Officer pursuant to this Section 4.2 by seeking other employment or otherwise. In addition to the severance payment payable under this Section 4.2, Officer shall be paid an amount equal to the greater of two times: (i) the average annual Bonus Compensation, if any, earned by Officer in the two years immediately preceding the date of termination and (ii) $360,000.00. In addition, Officer shall be paid (i) any pro-rated portion of the Bonus Compensation that Officer would have earned for a given period in which the termination occurs (if she had remained employed for the entire period), based on the number of days in such period that had elapsed as of the termination date, payable at the time that the Corporation pays bonuses to its executive officers for such period; provided, however, that such Bonus Compensation shall be payable only if Officer remained employed for at least half of the period for which the Bonus Compensation would have been payable, plus (ii) any pro-rated portion of equity compensation under the Incentive Plans that Officer would have earned for a given period in which the termination occurs (if she had remained employed for the entire period), based on the number of days in such period that had elapsed as of the termination date, payable in either stock or cash at the Corporation’s election and at the time that the Corporation pays such equity compensation awards to its executive officers for such period; provided, however, that such equity compensation award shall be payable only if Officer remained employed for at least half of the period for which the award would have been payable. The parties intend that, to the greatest extent possible, such severance compensation be treated as made pursuant to a “separation pay plan,” and not subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 4.4, as provided under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9), and agree to pay such severance in separate installments if the amount of severance hereunder exceeds the limits thereof. To the extent permissible under the group health benefit plans of the Corporation (or its successor), Officer may continue to participate in such plans under the same terms as active employees, pursuant to continuation coverage under COBRA, until the expiration of such COBRA continuation coverage. 
4.3    No Severance Compensation Upon Other Termination. In the event of a Voluntary Termination, Termination For Cause, termination by reason of Officer’s disability pursuant to Section 2.5, or termination by reason of Officer’s death pursuant to Section 2.6, Officer or her estate shall not be paid any severance compensation and shall receive only the benefits as provided in the appropriate section of Article II applicable to the respective termination.
4.4    Section 409A Payment Restrictions. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (Section 409A of the Code, together, with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) in order to avoid any adverse tax consequences to the Officer. It is intended that each installment of the payments of the severance compensation described in this Section 4 together with all other payments and benefits provided to Officer by Corporation, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i) and satisfies, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treas. Reg. §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, to the extent it is determined 
    7

that such payments constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Officer is a “specified employee,” as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of such payments shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier of six months and one day after Officer’s separation from service (as defined below) or the date of Officer’s death, the Corporation shall (A) pay to Officer a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments that Officer would otherwise have received through the delayed payment date, and (B) commence any remaining payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or such other plan or arrangement of deferred compensation, as applicable. To the extent that any such deferred compensation benefit is payable upon an event involving the Officer’s cessation of services, such payment(s) shall not be made unless such event constitutes a “separation from service” pursuant to the default definition in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h).
4.5    Golden Parachute Restrictions. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by or on behalf of the Corporation to or for the benefit of the Officer as a result of and contingent on a “change in control,” as defined in section 280G of the Code, (such amounts contingent on a change in control as described in Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1 Q/A-22) whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, (together, the “Contingent Payment”) would constitute a “parachute payment,” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.280G-1 Q/A-30, the amount of the Contingent Payment to Officer shall be (A) reduced to an amount that is one dollar less than 300% of the Officer’s “base amount” (as defined in section 280G(b)(3)(A) of the Code), so that the amount of such payments do not constitute a parachute payment (the “Safe Harbor Payment”), or, if greater, (B) the entire Contingent Payment, unreduced by the calculation in clause (A), provided that the net value of such Contingent Payment to the Officer exceeds the Safe Harbor Payment, after taking into account the additional taxes to Officer that apply to the unreduced Contingent Payment, including the excise taxes imposed thereon under section 4999 of the Code. The determination of the amount to be paid to Officer on account of this Section 4.5 shall be made by the accountant, tax counsel or other similar expert advisor to Officer (the “Tax Advisor”), which shall, if requested, provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Corporation and the Officer and if requested, a written opinion. The supporting calculations shall include a valuation of the non-competition provisions of Section 5. The costs and expenses of the Tax Advisor shall be the responsibility of the Corporation.
4.6.    Release of Claims. The payments set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement are subject to the execution and delivery by Officer of a waiver and general release of claims (the “Release”) to Corporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (and having not revoked such Release for a period of seven (7) days following its execution by Officer and its delivery to the Corporation).
5.    Non-Competition. During the term of this Agreement and for the longer of: (i) any period during which Officer is receiving periodic severance payments pursuant to Section 4.2, or (ii) one year following a Termination Upon a Change in Control, in either case so long as the payments provided for in Section 4.1 or 4.2 are made on a timely basis:
    8

(a)    Officer shall not, without the prior written consent of Corporation, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be connected with as an officer, employee, partner, consultant or otherwise, or otherwise engage or participate in any corporation or other business entity engaged in the business of buying, selling, developing, building and/or managing real estate facilities for the medical and healthcare sectors of the real estate industry.  Officer understands and acknowledges that Corporation carries on business nationwide and that the nature of Corporation’s activities cannot be confined to a limited area.  Accordingly, Officer agrees that the geographic scope of this Section 5 shall include the United States of America.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership by Officer of less than 2% of any class of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation conducting such a competitive business which is regularly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not be a violation of the foregoing covenant.
(b)    Simultaneously with Officer’s execution of this Agreement and upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the nature and extent of Officer’s investments, stock holdings, employment as an employee, director, or any similar interest in any business or enterprise engaged in buying, selling, developing, building, and/or managing real estate facilities for the medical and healthcare sectors of the real estate industry other than Corporation; provided, however, that Officer shall have no obligation to disclose any investment under $100,000 in value or any holdings of publicly traded securities which are not in excess of one percent of the outstanding class of such securities.  
(c)    Officer shall not contact or solicit, directly or indirectly, any customer, client, tenant or account whose identity Officer obtained through association with Corporation, regardless of the geographical location of such customer, client, tenant or account, nor shall Officer, directly or indirectly, entice or induce, or attempt to entice or induce, any employee of Corporation to leave such employ, nor shall Officer employ any such person in any business similar to or in competition with that of Corporation. Officer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 constitute a reasonable restriction on her ability to compete with Corporation and will not adversely affect her ability to earn income sufficient to support her and/or her family.
(d)    The parties hereto agree that, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the geographical or durational elements of this covenant are unenforceable, such determination shall not render the entire covenant unenforceable. Rather, the excessive aspects of the covenant shall be reduced to the threshold which is enforceable, and the remaining aspects shall not be affected thereby.
6.    Trade Secrets and Customer Lists. Officer agrees to hold in strict confidence all information concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, its manner of operation, business plans, business prospects, agreements, protocols, processes, computer programs, customer lists, market strategies, internal performance statistics, financial data, marketing information and analyses, or other data, without regard to the capacity in which such 
    9

information was acquired.  Officer agrees that she will not, directly or indirectly, use any such information for the benefit of any person or entity other than Corporation or disclose or communicate any of such information in any manner whatsoever other than to the directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives of Corporation who need to know such information, who shall be informed by Officer of the confidential nature of such information and directed by Officer to treat such information confidentially. Such information does not include information which (i) was disclosed to the public by Corporation or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by Officer or her representatives, or (ii) was or becomes available to Officer on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Corporation or its advisors provided that such source is not known to Officer to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Corporation, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to Officer by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such information does become generally available to the public, Officer agrees not to further discuss or disseminate such information except in the performance of her duties as Officer. Upon Corporation's request, Officer will return all information furnished to her related to the business of Corporation. The parties hereto stipulate that all such information is material and confidential and gravely affects the effective and successful conduct of the business of Corporation and Corporation's goodwill, and that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 shall be a material breach of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 6 shall remain in effect following the termination of this Agreement.
7.    Use of Proprietary Information.  Officer recognizes that Corporation possesses a proprietary interest in all of the information described in Section 6 and has the exclusive right and privilege to use, protect by copyright, patent or trademark, manufacture or otherwise exploit the processes, ideas and concepts described therein to the exclusion of Officer, except as otherwise agreed between Corporation and Officer in writing. Officer expressly agrees that any products, inventions, discoveries or improvements made by Officer, her agents or affiliates based on or arising out of the information described in Section 6 shall be (i) deemed a work made for hire under the terms of United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., and Corporation shall be the owner of all such rights with respect thereto and (ii) the property of and inure to the exclusive benefit of Corporation.
8.    Miscellaneous.
8.1    Payment Obligations. Corporation’s obligation to pay Officer the compensation and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be unconditional, and Officer shall have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate damages hereunder. In the event that any arbitration, litigation or other action after a Change in Control is brought to enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, Corporation, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, hereby indemnifies Officer for Officer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in such arbitration, litigation, or other action and shall advance payment of such attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

Wilson (“Officer”) in favor of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (along with its affiliates and subsidiaries, the “Corporation”) and the current and prior directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Released Parties”).

WHEREAS, Officer and the Corporation previously entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated as of July 1, 2021 that has governed the terms and conditions of Officer’s employment by the Corporation, and Officer’s retention thereunder has been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof.

WHEREAS, this General Release (this “Release”) is the release referred to in Section 4.6 of the Employment Agreement.

WHEREAS, following execution of this Release and expiration of the seven-day revocation period referred to in Section 5 below, Officer will be entitled to payment of certain amounts (such amounts, collectively, “Termination Payments”) and other rights and benefits (such other rights and benefits, collectively, “Termination Benefits”) referred to in Sections 4.1 and/or 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, as applicable.

WHEREAS, Officer desires to compromise, finally settle and fully release actual or potential claims, including, without limitation, those related to Officer’s retention and termination of retention that Officer in any capacity may have or claim to have against the Corporation or any of the other Released Parties, excepting only those claims expressly provided herein to be excluded.

WHEREAS, Officer acknowledges that she is waiving her rights or claims only in exchange for consideration in addition to anything of value to which she already is entitled.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the Corporation’s agreement to pay the Termination Benefits and to provide the Termination Benefits, Officer, intending to be legally bound hereby, for herself and her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, does hereby agree as follows:

1. The recitals above are true and correct.

2. Except as expressly provided in Section 4 below, Officer does hereby completely release and forever discharge the Corporation and the other Released Parties of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, counterclaims, debts, dues, covenants, contracts, bonuses, controversies, agreements, promises, rights, claims, charges, complaints, expenses, costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other costs of defense or prosecution), 
    15

damages, losses, liabilities and demands whatsoever in law or equity (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Claims”) whatsoever and of every nature and description, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, real or imaginary, actual or potential, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or certain, and whether arising at law or in equity, under the common law, state law, federal law or any other law or otherwise, that Officer ever had, may now have or hereafter can, shall or may have against the Corporation or any of the other Released Parties, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time to the date of this Release.

3. The release set forth in Section 2 above shall extend and apply, without limitation, to any and all Claims in connection with Officer's employment or the termination thereof, including, without limitation, wrongful termination, breach of express or implied contract or unpaid wages or pursuant to any federal, state or local employment laws, regulations or executive orders prohibiting, inter alia, discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex, national origin, religion, handicap and/or disability; and any and all other federal, state and local laws and regulations prohibiting, without limitation, discrimination in employment, retaliation, conspiracy, tortious or wrongful discharge, breach of an express or implied contract, breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional and/or negligent infliction of emotional distress, defamation, misrepresentation or fraud, negligence, negligent supervision, hiring or retention, assault, battery, detrimental reliance or any other offense.

4. Officer’s release provided in Sections 2 and 3 above does not extend or apply to any Claims with respect to the following (“Excluded Claims”): (a) the Corporation’s obligations to pay the Termination Payments or to pay or provide the Termination Benefits, (b) Officer’s entitlement to be indemnified by the Corporation with respect to Claims relating to any action or inaction, or any conduct or misconduct, by Officer in her capacity as an Executive Vice President of the Corporation or otherwise as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation (or in any similar capacity), whether pursuant to (i) the Corporation’s articles of incorporation (as amended, restated or otherwise modified and in effect at the relevant time), (ii) the Corporation’s bylaws (as amended, restated or otherwise modified and in effect at the relevant time), (iii) any resolution duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors or shareholders and in effect at the relevant time, (iv) the Maryland General Corporation Law, (v) any other applicable law, rule or regulation or court order or judgment or any other agreement in effect at the relevant time or (c) any other rights or claims that may arise after the date of this Release, and/or (vi) Corporation’s obligations to indemnify Officer pursuant to Section 8.12 of the Employment Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver or release by Officer with respect to any protections or other rights to which she may be entitled under any D&O or other insurance policy.

5. Pursuant to the provisions of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), which applies to Officer’s waiver of rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Officer has had a period of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider whether to execute this Release. Also pursuant to the OWBPA, Officer may revoke the Release within seven (7) days of its execution. It is specifically understood that this Release shall not become effective or enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has expired. Consideration for this 
    16

Release will not be paid until the later of (a) expiration of the seven-day revocation period or (b) the date provided for in the Employment Agreement.

6. Officer acknowledges that, pursuant to the OWBPA, the Corporation has advised Officer, in writing, to consult with an attorney before executing this Release.

7. Officer covenants and agrees that she will not bring, initiate, enter into, maintain or participate in any suit, arbitration or other administrative or judicial proceeding, by means of a direct claim, cross claim, counterclaim, setoff or otherwise, against any Released Party based or premised on any of the Claims released above.

8. Officer acknowledges that the Corporation will not pay or be obligated to pay, and Officer shall not be entitled to, any consideration other than as expressly provided for by this Release or the Employment Agreement or with respect to Excluded Claims.

9. This Release does not constitute an admission by the Corporation or any other Released Party of a violation of any law, order, regulation or enactment or of wrongdoing of any kind.

10. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Release, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in Nashville, Tennessee in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon any proper award rendered by the Arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be three arbitrators, one to be chosen directly by each party at will, and the third arbitrator to be selected by the two arbitrators so chosen. To the extent permitted by the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, the selected arbitrators may grant equitable relief. The cost of the arbitration, including the cost of the record or transcripts thereof, if any, administrative fees, and all other fees shall be borne by Corporation. To the extent that Officer prevails with respect to any portion of an arbitration award, Officer shall be reimbursed by Corporation for the costs and expenses incurred by Officer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with the arbitration in an amount proportionate to the award to Officer as compared to the amount in dispute.

11. The failure of any provision of this Release shall in no manner affect the right to enforce the same, and the waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Release shall not be construed to be a waiver of such party of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver by such party of any breach of any other provision. In the event that any provision or portion of this Release shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Release shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

12. This Release represents the entire understanding and agreement of Officer and the Released Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, warranties or representations, whether written or oral, express or implied, by or among Officer and the Released Parties with respect to such subject matter other 
    17

than as set forth herein. This Release cannot be amended, supplemented or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by Officer and the Corporation, and no waiver of this Release or any provision hereof shall be effective except to the extent such waiver is in writing, specifies that the purpose thereof is to waive this Release or a provision hereof and is executed and delivered by the party to be charged therewith.

13. This Release shall be binding upon and be enforceable against Officer and her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the Released Parties and his, her or its heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

14. OFFICER REPRESENTS AND CONFIRMS THAT SHE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS RELEASE, THAT THIS RELEASE HAS BEEN FULLY EXPLAINED TO HER, THAT SHE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS RELEASE REVIEWED BY AN ATTORNEY, THAT SHE FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE FINAL AND BINDING EFFECT OF THIS RELEASE, THAT THE ONLY PROMISES MADE TO HER TO SIGN THE RELEASE ARE THOSE STATED IN THIS RELEASE AND THAT OFFICER IS SIGNING THIS RELEASE VOLUNTARILY WITH THE FULL INTENT OF RELEASING THE RELEASED PARTIES OF ALL CLAIMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Officer has executed and delivered this Release as of the date set forth below and this Release is and shall be effective, subject to expiration of the seven-day revocation period referred to in Section 5 above.

 Section 1.4 Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,
made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such instrument or instruments
delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, vote, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no
action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date
such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
 With respect to
any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to 

  
 -9- 

 
the Trustee in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is
not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change
the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 

Section 1.5 Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1)    the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (or by facsimile transmissions, provided that oral confirmation of receipt shall have been received) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or 
 (2)    the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by first-class postage prepaid, personally delivered or sent via overnight courier to the Company addressed to it at the address of its
principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. 

Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed by first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and
not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. Neither the failure to mail or deliver by hand or overnight courier any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or delivered by hand or overnight courier,
to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to
give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Section 1.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture
Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall 

  
 -10- 

 
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 Section 1.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 1.12 Governing Law. 

THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last date on which a Holder has the
right to convert a Security at a particular conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a
provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) or, if applicable to a particular series of Securities, conversion need not be made
at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, at the Stated Maturity or on such last day
for conversion, as the case may be. 
 Section 1.14 Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations. 

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be
had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer, or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the 

  
 -11- 

 
Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement
of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities.

 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to

attached thereto) referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by
action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the 

  
 -15- 

 
Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate (including any exhibit attached thereto) setting forth the terms of the series. 

Section 3.2 Denominations. 

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive
Officer, its principal financial officer, its principal accounting officer, its President or one of its executive officers, and attested by its Treasurer, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or Assistant Secretaries. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company
may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, a certified copy of such Board
Resolution, an Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto setting forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of Counsel may contain customary qualifications and exceptions), with such Opinion of Counsel
stating, 
 (1)    if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 2.1, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (2)    if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(3)    that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and
subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties

  
 -16- 

 
or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of this Section 3.3, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued
at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this
Section 3.3 at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the
Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Security, check,
advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such document may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any inaccuracy in such numbers. 
 Section 3.4 Temporary Securities. 

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

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

  
 -17- 

 Section 3.5 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

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

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by
the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, if the Securities of any series (or of any
series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 

(1)    Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated
for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 -18- 

 (2)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof
unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as
contemplated by Section 3.1. 
 (3)    Subject to clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other
Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 

(4)    Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in
the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

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

  
 -19- 

 Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is
payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1)    The Company may elect to make
payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (2). 
 (2)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions
of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security. 
 Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security 

  
 -20- 

 
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 3.9 Cancellation. 

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

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

ARTICLE 4 
 SATISFACTION

 Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or

to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2)    the Company has paid or caused to be
paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 (3)    the Company has delivered to the Trustee an

or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission
by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 

(7)    any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series in the Board Resolution (or in an
Officers’ Certificate detailing such establishment pursuant to such Board Resolution) or supplemental indenture establishing that series. 

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

(a) Unless the Board Resolution (or Officers’ Certificate detailing such establishment pursuant to such Board Resolution) or supplemental
indenture establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, 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 of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof), and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount), and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal

  
 -23- 

 
amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof), and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and
payable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy with respect to an Event of Default for the
failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act relating to the Company’s failure to file any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or of its covenants set forth in Section 7.4 (any such Event of Default, a “Reporting Default”), shall for the first 360 calendar days after the occurrence of such Reporting Default consist
exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Securities at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the principal amount of the Securities for the first 180 calendar days after the occurrence
of such Reporting Default and (ii) 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities from the 181st day to, and including, the 360th day after the occurrence of such Reporting Default. If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest shall
accrue on all Outstanding Securities from and including the date on which such Reporting Default first occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be payable as provided in Section 3.7. On the 361st day after such Reporting Default
(if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 361st calendar day), then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding securities may declare the principal of, and premium, if any, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all such Securities to be due and payable immediately. 
 If the Company elects to pay the
Additional Interest as the sole remedy for the Reporting Default, the Company shall notify in writing, by a certificate, the Holders, the Paying Agent and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of business on the first
Business Day following the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that Additional
Interest is not payable. The Company shall pay the Additional Interest semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date of such Reporting Default, in the same manner as described
on the face of the Security. 
 (c) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
 (1)    the Company has
paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A)    all overdue interest on all Securities of that
series, 
 (B)    the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series that have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 

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

  
 -24- 

 (D)    all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (2)    all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if 

(1)    default is made in the payment of the principal or the Redemption Price of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at
the Maturity thereof, or 
 (2)    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, 
 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 any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and
premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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 6.7. 

No provision of this Indenture 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; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the 

  
 -25- 

 
Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

Section 5.5 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.

 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 

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

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in respect
of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, if any, and interest, respectively;
and 
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

Section 5.7 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 
 (1)    such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 

(2)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate 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; 

(3)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4)    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5)    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; 

  
 -26- 

 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 of such Holders. 

Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert. 

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 any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such
Securities in accordance with Article 14 to the extent that such right to convert is applicable to such Security, 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 5.9 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 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11 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 (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 5.12 Control by Holders. 

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

  
 -27- 

 (1)    such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture and the Trustee shall not have determined that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Securities of that series, or any other series, not taking part in such direction; and 

(2)    the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or
this Indenture. 
 Section 5.13 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 

(1)    a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series as and when
the same shall become due and payable by the terms thereof, otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, principal and premium, if any, has been deposited with
the Trustee), or 
 (2)    to the extent such right is applicable to such Security, a failure by the Company on request
to convert any Security into Common Stock; or 
 (3)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 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 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 

This Section does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Security on the respective due
dates, a suit by a Holder to enforce the right to convert in any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 14 to the extent such right to convert is applicable to such Security, or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. 
 Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the 

  
 -28- 

 
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

ARTICLE 6 
 THE TRUSTEE

 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

Section 6.2 Notice of Defaults. 

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice
of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal or Redemption Price of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of
such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or any conversion right applicable to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of Securities of such series; provided, further, however, that in the case of any default of the
character specified in Section 5.1(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means
any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

Except with respect to Section 10.1, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the
covenants contained in Article 10. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (i) any default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 5.1(1), 5.1(2) and 5.1(3) (defaults in
payments on the Securities) or (ii) any default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge. 

Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 7.4 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s
receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive 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 conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 

  
 -29- 

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

(2)    any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or
Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

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

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

(5)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at
the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction; 
 (6)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and 
 (7)    the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 6.5 May Hold Securities and Act as Trustee under Other Indentures. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent. 

  
 -30- 

 Subject to the limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this Indenture
shall prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest of participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not
Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 Section 6.7
Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 

(1)    to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(2)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
 (3)    to indemnify the Trustee
for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) hereof
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 applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.

 Section 6.8 Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act and there is an Event of Default under
the Securities of that series, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 

Section 6.9 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder
for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has (or if the Trustee is a member 

  
 -31- 

 
of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person or bank holding company publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person
or bank holding company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 
 The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any time: 

(1)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (2)    the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

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

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to
Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 

  
 -32- 

 
If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, the retiring Trustee may petition, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security of such series for at least six months may petition, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not
all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment
and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and 

  
 -33- 

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

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article. 
 Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by this Indenture),
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In the event that any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and
deliver such Securities in either its own name or that of such predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 

Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 

Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having (or if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined 

  
 -34- 

 
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation
into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.7. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.14, the Securities of such series may have
endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(5)    to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of

(12)    to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate
the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Articles 4 and 13, provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or any other series of Securities in
any material respect; or

for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or 

(2)    in the case of Securities of any series that are convertible into Common Stock or other securities of the Company
pursuant to Article 14 and any supplemental indenture hereto, adversely affect the rights of the Holders to convert any of the Securities of such series other than as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, or 

(3)    reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders

 (4)    modify any of the provisions of this Section or
Section 5.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided,
however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance

COVENANTS 

Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 

Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for conversion to the extent that such right to convert is
applicable to such Security and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change
in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Place of Payment for any series of Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office
or agency. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Securities Payments To Be Held in Trust. 

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

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal
of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the 

  
 -41- 

 
Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may at
any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent,
such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such money. 
 Any amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust
for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date that is ten Business Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the State or
two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 Section 10.4 Statement by Officers as to Default.

 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date
hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. The fiscal year of the Company currently
ends on December 31; and the Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change of its fiscal year. 

Section 10.5 Existence. 

Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.

 Section 10.6 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the
Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19) or 9.1(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time
for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly 

  
 -42- 

 
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force
and effect. 
 ARTICLE 11 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. 

Securities of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 11.2
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution
or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single
Security), the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee or is specified in the Board Resolution (or in an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to
such Board Resolution detailing such establishment) or supplemental indenture establishing such series), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor
of the Securities to be redeemed. 
 Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by lot, or in the Trustee’s discretion, on a pro-rata basis, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security),
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with
the preceding sentence. 
 If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right
with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities that have been converted during a selection of Securities to be
redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

  
 -43- 

 The provisions of the three preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has
been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6 not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register or, if the Securities are held in book-entry form, sent by electronic

 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1)    the Redemption Date,

Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal
amount thereof remaining unredeemed; 
 (5)    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 

Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any, on, all the
Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 To the extent such Security of a series is convertible pursuant to Article 14, upon
conversion of any such Security called for redemption, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to the right of any Holder of such Security to
receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company on Company Request, or if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 

Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at
the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any Security called
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal
to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 ARTICLE 12 

SINKING FUNDS 

Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities, 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 as
provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 Section 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as
a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to
be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 12.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not fewer than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not fewer than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. 

ARTICLE 13 
 DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 13.1 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.1 as being 

  
 -46- 

 
defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.2 or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. 

Section 13.2 Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the
case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter
called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: 
 (1)    the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, 

(2)    the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3,
and, if applicable, Article 14, 
 (3)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and

 (4)    this Article. 

Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities. 
 Section 13.3
Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or
any series of Securities, as the case may be, 
 (1)    the Company shall be released from any covenants provided
pursuant to Sections 3.1(19) or 9.1(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and 
 (2)    the
occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19) or 9.1 (2)) and the occurrence of any other Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, 

in each case with respect to such Securities or series of Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect
of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.1(4) and the occurrence of any other Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1), whether
directly or indirectly by reason of any reference 

  
 -47- 

 
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and
such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 13.4 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be: 
 (1)    The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 6.9 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, 

(A)    in the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency of the United States of America, 

(i)    cash in currency of the United States of America in an amount, or 

(ii)    U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in

(iii)    a combination thereof, or 

(B)    in the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency other than that of the United States of America,

accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, an amount in cash, or 

(iii)    a combination thereof, 

in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated
Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. 
 (2)    In the event of an election to
have Section 13.2 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall
confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, 

  
 -48- 

 
Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (3)    In the event of an election to have
Section 13.3 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 
 (4)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 

(5)    No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such
Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 5.1(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (6)    Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act). 

(7)    Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 

(9)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

Section 13.5 Deposited Money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.6, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as
the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but
money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government

  
 -49- 

 
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 

Section 13.6 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant
to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.
