 1. Description of the Offering. This Subscription Agreement is for shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $0.0227 per share. This Company is offering (the “Offering”) the Shares, solely to accredited investors who qualify as accredited investors pursuant to the suitability standards for investors described under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and who have no need for liquidity in their investments. Prior to this Offering there was only a limited public market for the Shares and no assurance can be given that a market will develop, or if developed, that it will be maintained so that any subscribers in this Offering may avail any benefit from the same.
  
 THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY ANYONE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, OR OTHER JURISDICTION AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
  
 2. Other Terms of the Offering. The execution of this Subscription Agreement shall constitute an offer by the Subscriber to subscribe for the Shares in the amount and on the terms specified herein. The Subscriber must also complete and execute the Subscriber Questionnaire attached hereto. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject in whole or in part, any subscription offer. If the Subscriber's offer is accepted, the Company will execute a copy of this Subscription Agreement and return it to the Subscriber. 
  
 The Subscriber shall deliver the subscription payment by check made payable to “TeleHealthCare, Inc.” or wire transfer according to the instructions contained on Schedule A attached hereto:
  
 TeleHealthCare, Inc.
 1031 Calle Recodo
 Suite B
 San Clemente, CA 92673
  
 3. Acceptance of Subscription.
  
 The Subscriber understands and agrees that pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company needs to take reasonable steps to verify that the Subscribers are accredited investors directly or by a third party service and, in its sole discretion, may (i) reject the subscription of any Subscriber, whether or not qualified, in whole or in, part, and (ii) may withdraw the Offering at any time prior to the termination of the Offering. The Company shall have no obligation to accept subscriptions in the order received. This subscription shall become binding only if accepted by the Company.

 4. Representations and Warranties.
  
 The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:
  
 (a) The Subscriber is either (i) an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, or (ii) outside the United States when receiving and executing this Subscription Agreement and the Subscriber is not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof;.
  
 (b) The Subscriber is a “sophisticated investor” as that term is defined in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
  
 (c) For California and Massachusetts individuals: If the subscriber is a California resident, such subscriber’s investment in the Company will not exceed 10% of such subscriber’s net worth (or joint net worth with his or her spouse). If the subscriber is a Massachusetts resident, such subscriber’s investment in the Company will not exceed 25% of such subscriber’s joint net worth with such subscriber’s spouse (exclusive of principal residence and its furnishings).
  
 (d) If a natural person, the Subscriber is a bona fide resident of the state or non-United States jurisdiction contained in the address set forth on the Signature Page of this Agreement as the Subscriber’s home address, at least 21 years of age, and legally competent to execute this Agreement. If an entity, the Subscriber has its principal offices or principal place of business in the state or non-United States jurisdiction contained in the address set forth on the Signature Page of this Agreement, the individual signing on behalf of the Subscriber is duly authorized to execute this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
  
 (e) The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains an early stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Shares. Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in herein, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the “Risk Factors” contained in the Private Placement Memorandum accompanying this Agreement (the “Risk Factors”). The Subscriber has received, read carefully and is familiar with this Agreement and the Risk Factors.
  
  	 
	2
	 
 
	 

  
 (f) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, the Risk Factors and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering. The Subscriber has had access to all additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information set forth in this Agreement and any other materials furnished herewith, and have taken all the steps necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment as proposed hereunder.
  
 (g) The Subscriber (or the Subscriber’s representative) has such knowledge and experience in finance, securities, taxation, investments and other business matters so as to be able to protect the interests of the Subscriber in connection with this transaction, and the Subscriber’s investment in the Company hereunder is not material when compared to the Subscriber’s total financial capacity.
  
 (h) The Subscriber understands the various risks of an investment in the Company as proposed herein and can afford to bear such risks, including, without limitation, the risks of losing the entire investment.
  
 (i) The Subscriber acknowledges that there has been limited trading in the Company’s common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Company’s common stock will either develop or be maintained and that the Subscriber may find it impossible to liquidate the investment at a time when it may be desirable to do so, or at any other time.
  
 (j) The Subscriber has been advised by the Company that none of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, that the Shares will be issued on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by Rule 506(c) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, or both, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and under similar exemptions under certain state securities laws; that this transaction has not been reviewed by, passed on or submitted to any federal or state agency or self-regulatory organization where an exemption is being relied upon; and that the Company’s reliance thereon is based in part upon the representations made by the Subscriber in this Agreement.
  
 (k) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has been informed by the Company of or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the transfer of the Shares. In particular, the Subscriber agrees that no sale, assignment or transfer of any of the Shares shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not be required to give any effect to such a sale, assignment or transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of such Shares is registered under the Securities Act, it being understood that the Shares are not currently registered for sale and that the Company has no obligation or intention to so register the Shares, except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or (ii) such Shares are sold, assigned or transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (it being understood that Rule 144 is not available at the present time for the sale of the Shares), or (iii) such sale, assignment or transfer is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Subscriber further understands that an opinion of counsel and other documents may be required to transfer the Shares.

 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.

 THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION TO PERSONS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) PURSUANT TO REGULATION S UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”). ACCORDINGLY, NONE OF THE SECURITIES TO WHICH THIS CERTIFICATE RELATES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, NONE MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT AND IN EACH CASE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT. “UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT.
  
 (m) The Subscriber will acquire the Shares for the Subscriber’s own account (or for the joint account of the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s spouse either in joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety or tenancy in common) for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and has no present intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting any participation therein.
  
  	 
	4
	 
 
	 

  
 (n) No representation, guarantee or warranty has been made to the Subscriber by any broker, the Company, any of the officers, directors, stockholders, employees or agents of either of them, or any other persons, whether expressly or by implication, that: (I) the Company or the Subscriber will realize any given percentage of profits and/or amount or type of consideration, profit or loss as a result of the Company’s activities or the Subscriber’s investment in the Company; or (II) the past performance or experience of the management of the Company, or of any other person, will in any way indicate the predictable results of the ownership of the Shares or of the Company's activities.
  
 (o) In making the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials. 
  
 (p) The Subscriber is not subscribing for the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person other than a representative of the Company with which the Subscriber had a pre-existing relationship in connection with investments in securities generally.
  
 (q) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company with respect to the tax and other economic considerations of an investment.
  
 (r) The Subscriber acknowledges that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Subscriber herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares.
  
 (s) The Subscriber has consulted his own financial, legal and tax advisors with respect to the economic, legal and tax consequences of an investment in the Shares and has not relied on the Offering Materials or the Company, its officers, directors or professional advisors for advice as to such consequences.
  
 (t)     If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber has not acquired the Common Stock as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Common Stock which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock pursuant to registration thereof under the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements; 
  
 (u)   If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber acknowledges that the statutory and regulatory basis for the exemption from U.S registration requirements claimed for the offer of the Common Stock, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or provincial securities laws; 
  
  	 
	5
	 
 
	 

  
 5. Indemnification.
  
 The Subscriber understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each, officer, director, shareholder, employee, agent or representative thereof against any and all loss, damage or liability due to or arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant, of the Subscriber, contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgments or agreements made herein by the Subscriber, the Subscriber does not thereby or in any other manner waive any rights granted to the Subscriber under federal or state securities laws.

 8. Risk Factors.
  
 The Company is in the early stage of development of the Company and is therefore subject to risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of any one or more of these risks or uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the value of any investment in the Company and the business, prospects, financial position, financial condition or operating results of the Company. Investors should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information about the Company available in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are hereby incorporated by reference.

 EXHIBIT A-2 - REGULATION S PAGE
 FOR NON-U.S. PURCHASERS
  
 The undersigned Purchaser (a “Reg S Person”) is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and hereby represents that the representations in paragraphs (1) through (9) are true and correct with respect to such Reg S Person. 
  
  	(1)	Such Reg S Person acknowledges and warrants that (i) the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the Securities is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (ii) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S and herein, and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (iii) the offer and sale of the Securities has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Securities has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.
	  
	  

	(2)	Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the Securities cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of one year from and after the Closing Date, unless such Securities are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the Securities.
	  
	  

	(3)	Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate, note or other document evidencing the Securities and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of Securities not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.
	  
	  

	(4)	Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities. Such Reg S Person is purchasing the Securities as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with an intent or view towards further sale or distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) thereof, and has not pre-arranged any sale with any other purchaser and has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.
	  
	  

	(5)	Such Reg S Person is not an Affiliate of the Company nor is any Affiliate of such Reg S Person an Affiliate of the Company. An “Affiliate” is an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (each of the foregoing, a “Person”) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Reg S Person, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Reg S Person will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Reg S Person.
	  
	  

	(6)	Such Reg S Person understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer. The Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.

  
  	 
	12
	 
 
	 

  
  	(7)	Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Securities may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available. In connection with any resale of the Securities pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.

 Section 2.2
Form of Securities and Trustee’s Certificate. 
 The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution of the Company and as set forth in an Officers’
Certificate and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to
usage. 
 Section 2.3 Denominations; Provisions for Payment. 

The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the minimum denominations of one thousand Dollars ($1,000) or any integral
multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.1(a)(11). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the Interest Payment Dates and at the rate specified with respect to that series. Unless otherwise
provided 

  
 8 

 
pursuant to Section 2.1, the principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of early redemption thereof, shall be
payable in Dollars, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the United States, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities, by the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication. Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.1, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve
30-day months. 
 The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Business Day
that is the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a series of Securities, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be mailed by check to the holders of the Securities of any series
at their respective addresses set forth in the Security Register or wired if held in book-entry form at The Depository Trust Company. In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the
redemption date is subsequent to a Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in
Section 3.3. 
 Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such holder,
and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:  

(1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on the applicable Business Day that is fixed by the Trustee for payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), 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 such Security 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. The Trustee shall then fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 or less
than 10 days prior to the date 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 transmitted, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been transmitted as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
Special Record Date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

  
 9 

 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities 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. 
 Unless otherwise set forth
in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the term “Regular Record Date”, as used in this
Section 2.3, with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either (i) the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest
Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or (ii) the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which
an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture
upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 

Section 2.4 Execution and Authentication. 

Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Security shall
not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

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 written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by two Officers, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities in
accordance with such written order. 
 In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that the form and
terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 10 

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

Section 2.5 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Securities of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in
the United States, or such other location designated by the Company, for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section 2.5. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in
exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 

(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the United States, or such other
location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the
transfers of Securities as provided in this Article and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Unless otherwise specified in a supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby appointed as “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering the Securities and the transfer of Securities of each series. 
 Upon surrender for
transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount. 
 All Securities presented or
surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section 2.5, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing. 

(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial
redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.6,
Section 3.3(b) and Section 9.4 not involving any transfer. 
 (d) The Company shall not
be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of
the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the 

  
 11 

 
transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Securities of any series being redeemed in part. The provisions
of this Section 2.5 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof. 

Section 2.6 Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions
and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay, the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series, and thereupon any or all temporary
Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in
exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further
notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

Section 2.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next
succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the
applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any Officer. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, 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. In case any
Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof, except in the
case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the
satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

  
 12 

 Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.7 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter
enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 

Section 2.8 Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company
or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company any cancelled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request, the Trustee may dispose of cancelled Securities in
accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company upon its request therefor. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 
Section 2.9 Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be
construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities (and, if the Securities of a series are subordinated to any other indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the terms of a supplemental indenture hereto,
the holders of the senior indebtedness designated in such supplemental indenture with respect to the applicable series), any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or
provision herein contained, all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities (and the holders of any such senior indebtedness with respect to the applicable series).

 Section 2.10 Authenticating Agent. 

So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of
Securities which the Trustee, with the written consent of the Company, shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issuance thereof, exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so 

  
 13 

 
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. All references in this Indenture
to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently
reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. 

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at
any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of
any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 

Section 2.11 Global Securities. 

(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.1 that the Securities of a particular series are issuable
as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.4, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of, such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to
reflect exchanges, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a
successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.” Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by
the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the written request signed in the name of the Company, by two Officers thereof to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.4 or Section 2.6. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.5, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and in the manner provided in Section 2.5, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or
to a successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

  
 14 

 (c) If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor
Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the
Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.5, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall
no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to
Section 2.5, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this
Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The
Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 (d)
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a particular series of the Securities, the Company may execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate directing the authorization and delivery thereof,
shall authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in
exchange for such Global Security. 
 Section 2.12 No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in, the
Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any
participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to
such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Securityholders and all payments to be made to Securityholders in respect of the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Securityholder or
Securityholders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary, subject to the applicable rules and procedures of
the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

  
 15 

 (b) The Trustee shall have no obligations or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among the Depositary participants, members or
beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS 

Section 3.1 Redemption. 

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for
such series pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. 
 Section 3.2 Notice of
Redemption. 
 (a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the
Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved in such Securities so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by sending
electronically or by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
upon the Security Register, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder
receives the notice. In any case, failure to duly give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture,
the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. 
 Each such
notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price (or the manner of calculation thereof) at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such
Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the United States, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice,
that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to
be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the amount of Securities to be so redeemed. 

  
 16 

 (b) If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, or, if the Securities to be redeemed are held in global form, in accordance with the procedures of the
Depositary. The portion of the principal amount of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof. 

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable supplemental indenture, the Company shall not be required to issue, register the transfer of, or
exchange any Securities of a series that are subject to redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all of that series of Securities that may be selected
for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing. 
 The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by
delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by any Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this
Section 3.2, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name, as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying
agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom,
sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under this Section 3.2. 

Section 3.3 Payment Upon Redemption. 

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series
to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Interest on such Securities
or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On
presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. However, if the date fixed for redemption is subsequent to a Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, the interest
installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date pursuant to Section 2.3. 

(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented.

The provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a
series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 for Securities of such series. 
 The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 3.5. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 

Section 3.5 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and
(ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such
series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the
sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Section 3.6
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.5 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2. The Company shall
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 3.2. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.3.

principal and any premium or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it
or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest on any Securities
of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless

any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held

respect to such money.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) semiannually on [        ]
[        ] and [        ] [        ], a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
the holders of each series of Securities as of such date, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to be furnished such list at any time that the list shall not differ in any respect from the most recent list furnished to
the Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the
time such list is furnished, provided, however, that, in either case, no such list need be furnished for any series of Securities for which the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar. 

Section 5.2 Preservation of Information; Communications with Securityholders. 

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the

acting in such capacity).

 21 

 
had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements. In such event, such reports shall be provided to the Trustee within 15 days after the dates applicable to a
registrant that is not an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer on which the Company would have been required to provide reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission had it continued to have been subject to such reporting requirements.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall also comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

(b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed from to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS 
 ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

Section 6.1 Events of Default. 

(a) Whenever used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the
following events that has occurred and is continuing:  

  
 22 

 (1) the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any
of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days, provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with
the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; 

(2) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or any premium on) any of the Securities of that series as and
when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or (b) in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series, whether or not, in the case
that such series is subordinated to any other indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the terms of the supplemental indenture hereto, such payment is prohibited by such supplemental indenture, provided, however, that a valid extension of the
maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or any premium for this purpose; 

(3) the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in
this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit
of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder,
shall have been given in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; 

(4) if the Securities of the series are convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company, failure by
the Company to deliver common stock or the other securities when the holder or holders of such Securities duly elect to convert such Securities into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company; 

(5) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors; 
 (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief
against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company and, in each such case, the order or decree remains unstayed
and in effect for 90 days; or 

  
 23 

 (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that
series. 
 (b) In each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) above), unless the principal
of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
series) of, any premium and any accrued interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained
in this Indenture or in the Securities of that series or established with respect to that series pursuant to Section 2.1 to the contrary. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) above occurs, all unpaid
principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of, any premium and any accrued interest, on, all the Securities of that
series then outstanding will become automatically due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. 

(c) At any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series
and the principal of (and any premium on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and any premium and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under
applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series (or at the respective rates of interest of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and
any amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.6, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the non-payment of
principal, any premium or interest on Securities of that series that (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) shall not have become due by their terms,
shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.6. 
 No such rescission and annulment shall extend to
or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce
any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the
Trustee, then and in every such case, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken. 

  
 24 

 Section 6.2 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of
interest on any of the Securities of a series, or any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a
period of 30 days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or any premium on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or
upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and
payable on all such Securities for principal (and any premium) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and any premium) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law)
upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, and the amount
payable to the Trustee under Section 7.6. 
 (b) If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action
or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated. 
 (c) In case of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and
take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under this Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and
payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under
Section 7.6. Any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.6. 

  
 25 

 (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms
established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.6, be for the
ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. 
 In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the
Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.3 Application of Moneys
Collected. 
 Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or any premium) or interest (upon presentation of the Securities of that series and notation thereon
the payment if only partially paid) and upon surrender thereof (if fully paid): 
 FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection
and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.6; 
 SECOND: If the Securities of such series are
subordinated to any other indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the terms of the supplemental indenture hereto, to the payment of all senior indebtedness of the Company designated in such supplemental indenture if and to the extent required by
such supplemental indenture; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for
principal and any premium and interest, 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 and interest, respectively. 
 Section 6.4 Limitation on Suits. 

No holder of a Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or 

  
 26 

 
under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder, (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee
such reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security
to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.3) interest on such Security (whether upon redemption, repurchase, maturity or otherwise) or payment or delivery of any amounts due upon
conversion of Securities of any series that are convertible into shares of common stock or other securities, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption or repurchase, on the
redemption date or repurchase date, respectively), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such respective dates (including the redemption date or repurchase date, as applicable) shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such holder. By accepting a Security hereunder, it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that
no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities,
or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of
such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.4, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

Section 6.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to
the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities. 

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of
Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4, every power
and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 

  
 27 

 Section 6.6 Control by Securityholders. 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with
Section 8.4, 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 such
series, provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of such series not consenting, and provided, further, that the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to the taking of any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee
against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith
shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected
thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.4, may determine, and may have the Trustee on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants
contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.1 with respect to such series and its consequences, except for (a) a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, any of the Securities
of that series (whether upon redemption, repurchase, maturity or otherwise) or payment or delivery of any amounts due upon conversion of Securities of any series that are convertible into shares of common stock or other securities as and when the
same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the
Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.1(c)), or (b) if the Securities of that series are convertible into shares of common stock or other securities, the failure by the Company to deliver common stock or the other
securities, as and when they shall become deliverable by the terms of such Securities. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.7 Undertaking to Pay Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities, by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall not apply to any suit 

  
 28 

 
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or any premium) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or
established pursuant to this Indenture.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events
of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities
of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own
affairs. 
 (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: 

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may, with respect to the Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, provided however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculation or other facts stated therein; 

  
 29 

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

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.4) relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and 

(4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it
under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 

Section 7.2 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1: 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in its
original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports
and statements of the Company as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance under covenants or other obligations of the Company. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall
conform to the provisions of Section 13.7. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents, and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties

to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article IV. 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 Section 6.1(a)(2) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification from the Company or any Securityholder of such Default or Event of
Default at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the applicable series of Securities and this Indenture. 
 (g) The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities (including as paying agent) hereunder, and to each
agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (h) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under
Section 5.3 is for informational purposes only. 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 its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate). 

(i) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in
any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (j) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action. 
 (k) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations
under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, (i) acts of God, including earthquakes, fire and flood, (ii) terrorism, wars and other
military disturbances, (iii) sabotage, epidemics and riots, (iv) interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services, (v) accidents and labor disputes and (vi) acts of civil
or military authorities and governmental actions. 
 (l) 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 Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (m) 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

  
 31 

 
document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further
inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason
of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (n) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

Section 7.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities. 

(a) The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. 
 (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. 
 (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the
Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.1, or for the
use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. 
 Section 7.4
May Hold Securities. 
 The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. 
 
Section 7.5 Moneys Held in Trust. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.5, all moneys
received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds of the Trustee except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder, except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon. 

Section 7.6 Compensation and Reimbursement. 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee. The Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and 

  
 32 

 
disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or
as otherwise expressly provided herein. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trusts hereby created, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. 
 (b) The obligations of the Company under this
Section 7.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness
shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities. The provisions of this
Section 7.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture. 
 (c)
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(5) and (6) occurs and is continuing, such expenses (including the charges and expenses of its counsel)
and the compensation for such services shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.7 Reliance on Officers’ Certificate. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such Officers’ Certificate, in the
absence of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 

Section 7.8 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the
Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 7.9 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder, which shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Securities and Exchange Commission, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 

  
 33 

 
fifty million Dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, serve as
Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.9, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 7.10. 
 Section 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
Successor. 
 (a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation electronically or by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security
Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the mailing 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 such Securities of such
series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (b) In
case at any time any one of the following shall occur: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 7.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.9 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary
bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor Trustee by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution or, unless the Trustee’s duty to 

  
 34 

 
resign is stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor Trustee. 
 (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company, and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the written consent of the Company. 

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.11. 

(e) Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 7.10 may be appointed with respect to the Securities of
one or more series or all of such series and, at any time, there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series. 

Section 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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, provided however that upon the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall
accept such appointment and which (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) 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, that each such 

  
 35 

 
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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for
any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder. The execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring
Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations
vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, provided however that upon request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to
the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and 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. 

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7.11, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 7.11, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. If
the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company. 

Section 7.12 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 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. 

  
 36 

 Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
the Company. 
 The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship
described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein. 

Section 7.14 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default occurs and is continuing hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer,
the Trustee shall send to each holder of such Securities notice of the Default within 90 days after such Default occurs, provided, however, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in Section 6.1(a)(3)
with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Securityholders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security (whether upon
redemption, repurchase, maturity or otherwise), including payments pursuant to any redemption or repurchase provisions of such Security, or payment or delivery of any amounts due upon conversion of Securities of any series that are convertible into
shares of common stock or other securities, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders of such Securities.

 ARTICLE VIII 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 

Section 8.1 Evidence of Action by Securityholders. 

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of
such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed
in writing. 
 If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date (in accordance with Section 316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act) for such series for the determination of
Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purpose of determining
whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities of that series 

  
 37 

 
shall be computed as of the record date, provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six (6) 
months after the record date. 
 Section 8.2 Proof of Execution by Securityholders. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof
will not require notarization) or such Securityholder’s agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Company;

 (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar
thereof; and 
 (c) The Trustee or the Company may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this
Section 8.2 as it shall deem necessary. 
 Section 8.3 Who May be Deemed
Owners. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any
Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, any premium and, subject to Section 2.3, interest on such Security
and for all other purposes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

Section 8.4 Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded. 

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any
direction or consent (or waiver, as the case may be) under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction or consent (or waiver, as the case may be), only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The
Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.4, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to
act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such
right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. 

  
 38 

 Section 8.5 Actions Binding on Future
Securityholders. 
 At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any
holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.2, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and
owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the
holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
all the Securities of that series. 
 ARTICLE IX 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 
Section 9.1 Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders. 
 In addition to any supplemental indenture
otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect),

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.1) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an

 It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of any series affected thereby under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. 
 Section 9.3 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.1, this
Indenture shall, with respect to the applicable series of Securities, be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the
Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any
such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 
Section 9.4 Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures. 
 Securities of any series affected by a supplemental
indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.1, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided that
such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that
series then Outstanding. 

  
 41 

 Section 9.5 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by the Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, in its discretion (but without any obligation to do so) enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.1, shall be provided an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by,
and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof, provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection with the
execution of a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, unless otherwise requested by the Trustee. 

Section 9.6 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Company, then this Indenture shall thereupon cease to be of further effect
with respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 7.10 that shall survive until the date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and

and payable as described in Section 11.1 shall have been paid by the Company by depositing irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds money in Dollars sufficient or an amount of
non-callable Governmental Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, will be sufficient or a combination thereof, sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent

in Trust. 
 All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2 shall be
held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of which
such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.

or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. The paying agent and the Trustee thereupon shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof.

IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, 

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 
 
Section 12.1 No Recourse. 
 No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, or of any
Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or 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 this
Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors as such, of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities or implied therefrom. Any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder,
officer or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby
expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of such Securities. 

ARTICLE XIII 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 
Section 13.1 Effect on Successors and Assigns. 
 All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture
contained by or on behalf of the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

  
 45 

 Section 13.2 Actions by Successor. 

Any act or proceeding by any provision of this Indenture authorized or required to be done or performed by any board, committee or officer of
the Company shall and may be done and performed with like force and effect by the corresponding board, committee or officer of any Person that shall at the time be the lawful sole successor of the Company. 

Section 13.3 Notices. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice or demand that by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be
given or served by the Trustee or by the holders of Securities to or on the Company may be given or served by being deposited first class postage prepaid in a post-office letterbox addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the Company
with the Trustee), as follows: [Name of Company], [Address of Company], Attention: [Name of Contact Person]. Any notice, election, request or demand by the Company or any Securityholder to or upon the
Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made in writing at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.  

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such
instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the
Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such
instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk
of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 
Section 13.4 Notice to Securityholders of Securities; Waiver. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this
Indenture provides for notice to holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder of a Security affected by such event, at the
address of such holder as it appears in the Security Register, not earlier than the earliest date, and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

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 to
holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such holder for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to holders of Securities is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice mailed to any particular holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders of Securities given as provided herein. 

  
 46 

 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 applicable event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by holders of Securities 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. 
 Section 13.5
Governing Law. 
 This Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a contract made under the internal laws of the State of New
York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State. 
 Each party hereto irrevocably submits, for
itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert,
by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any
such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 
Section 13.6 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. 
 Section 13.7 Compliance
Certificates and Opinions. 
 (a) Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any of the
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may require the Company to furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with. However, in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required
by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 

(b) Each Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to
compliance with a condition or covenant in this Indenture shall include (i) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, such Person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary
to enable such Person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied
with. Each Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee hereunder may rely on the facts stated in an Officers’ Certificate delivered therewith. 

Section 13.8 Payments on Business Days. 

Except as provided pursuant to Section 2.1 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and as set forth in an Officers’
Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental to this 

  
 47 

 
Indenture, in any case where the date of maturity of interest or principal of any Security or the date of redemption or repurchase of any Security or the conversion date of any Security shall not
be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and any premium), whether upon repurchase, redemption, maturity, conversion, or otherwise, may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the
nominal date of maturity, redemption, repurchase, or conversion and no additional interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date. In the case, however, of debt securities bearing interest at a floating rate based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), if the interest payment date (other than the redemption date, repurchase date or stated maturity) falls on a date that is not a business day and the following business day falls in the next succeeding calendar month,
then the interest payment date for such debt securities shall be the business day immediately preceding the scheduled interest payment date. 

Section 13.9 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Sections 310 to 317,
inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control. 
 Section 13.10
Counterparts. 
 This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 13.11
Separability. 
 In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of such Securities, but this Indenture and such Securities shall be
construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein. 
 
Section 13.12 Assignment. 
 The Company will have the right at all times to assign any of its rights or obligations under
this Indenture to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company, will remain liable for all such obligations. This Indenture may also be assigned by the Company in
connection with any transaction described in Article X. Subject to the foregoing, the Indenture is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

SECTION 13.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITYHOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

SECTION 13.14 FATCA.

In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by
competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”) that a foreign financial institution, issuer, paying agent, holder or other institution is or has agreed to be subject to related to this Indenture, the Issuer agrees
(i) to provide to the Trustee sufficient information about holders or other applicable parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax related
obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee shall not have any
liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with such Applicable Law. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
