THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE is made as of the 15th day of September, 2016, by and between THE SOUTHERN COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, 30 Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd., N.W., Atlanta, Georgia  30308 (the “Company”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, 150 East 42nd Street, 40th Floor, New York, New York 10017 (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore entered into a Subordinated Note Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2015 (the “Original Indenture”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association;

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference and the Original Indenture, as heretofore supplemented and as further supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

WHEREAS, under the Original Indenture, a new series of Junior Subordinated Notes may at any time be established pursuant to a supplemental indenture executed by the Company and the Trustee;

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of Junior Subordinated Notes;

WHEREAS, additional Junior Subordinated Notes of other series hereafter established, except as may be limited in the Original Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified, may be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified; and

WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding obligation of the Company have been done or performed.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Series 2016A Junior Subordinated Notes

SECTION 101.  Establishment.  There is hereby established a new series of Junior Subordinated Notes to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Company’s Series 2016A 5.25% Junior Subordinated Notes due October 1, 2076 (the “Series 2016A Notes”).

There are to be authenticated and delivered $800,000,000 principal amount of Series 2016A Notes, and such principal amount of the Series 2016A Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 301 of the Original Indenture.  All Series 2016A Notes need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without the consent of any Holder, for issuances of additional Series 2016A Notes.  Any such additional Series 2016A Notes will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as those initially issued (except for the public offering price and issue date and the initial interest accrual date and initial Interest Payment Date (as defined below), if applicable).  No Series 2016A Notes shall be authenticated and delivered in excess of the principal amount as so increased except as provided by Sections 203, 303, 304, 907 or 1107 of the Original Indenture.  The Series 2016A Notes shall be issued in fully registered form.

The Series 2016A Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A hereto.  The Depositary with respect to the Series 2016A Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company.  

The form of the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication for the Series 2016A Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

Each Series 2016A Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for.

SECTION 102.  Definitions.  The following defined terms used herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below.  Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

“Additional Interest” has the meaning set forth in Section 104 of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

“Administrative Action” means any judicial decision or any official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement including any notice or announcement of intent to issue or adopt any administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation.

“Applicable Rating Agency” means any Rating Agency that (i)(a) published a rating for the Company on the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes and (b) publishes a rating for the Company at such time as a Rating Agency Event occurs, or (ii) any successor to a Rating Agency described in the preceding clause (i).

“Interest Payment Dates” means January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2017.

“Optional Deferral Period” has the meaning set forth in Section 104 of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

2

“Original Issue Date” means September 15, 2016.

“Rating Agency” means any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

“Rating Agency Event” means a change to the methodology or criteria that were employed by an Applicable Rating Agency for purposes of assigning equity credit to securities such as the Series 2016A Notes on the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes (the “current methodology”), which change either (i) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series 2016A Notes would have been in effect had the current methodology not been changed by the Applicable Rating Agency, or (ii) reduces the amount of equity credit assigned to the Series 2016A Notes by the Applicable Rating Agency as compared with the amount of equity credit that such Rating Agency assigned to the Series 2016A Notes as of the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes.

“Regular Record Date” means, with respect to each Interest Payment Date, the close of business (i) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date if any Series 2016A Notes are issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities or (ii) on the 15th calendar day preceding such Interest Payment Date if no Series 2016A Notes are issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities (whether or not a Business Day).

“Securities Rate” has the meaning set forth in Section 103 of this Second Supplemental Indenture.

“Stated Maturity” means October 1, 2076.

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of: 

(a) any amendment to, clarification of, or change, including any announced prospective change, in the laws or treaties of the United States or any political subdivisions or taxing authorities, or any regulations under those laws or treaties; 

(b) an Administrative Action; 

(c) any amendment to, clarification of, or change in the official position or the interpretation of any Administrative Action or any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to an Administrative Action that differs from the previously generally accepted position, in each case by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or regulatory body, regardless of the time or manner in which that amendment, clarification or change is introduced or made known; or

(d) a threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company or an audit of any of the subsidiaries of the Company, or a publicly-known threatened challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Series 2016A Notes, 

3

which amendment, clarification or change is effective or the Administrative Action is taken or issued, or interpretation or pronouncement is issued or threatened challenge is asserted or becomes publicly-known after the date of original issuance of the Series 2016A Notes, there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the Series 2016A Notes is not deductible, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion would not be deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 103.  Payment of Principal and Interest.  The principal of the Series 2016A Notes shall be due at the Stated Maturity (unless earlier redeemed).  The unpaid principal amount of the Series 2016A Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum (the “Securities Rate”) until paid or duly provided for.  Interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Series 2016A Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date as provided herein will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.  So long as an Optional Deferral Period is not occurring, any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Series 2016A Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series 2016A Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Series 2016A Notes shall be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Original Indenture.

Payments of interest on the Series 2016A Notes will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates.  Interest payments for the Series 2016A Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series 2016A Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

Payment of the principal and interest (including Additional Interest) due at the Stated Maturity or earlier redemption of the Series 2016A Notes shall be made upon surrender of the Series 2016A Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.  The principal of and interest on the Series 2016A Notes (including Additional Interest) shall be paid in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments of interest (including interest on any Interest Payment Date)(including Additional Interest) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer or other electronic transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

4

SECTION 104.  Deferral of Interest Payments.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest otherwise due on the Series 2016A Notes by extending the interest payment period for up to forty (40) consecutive quarterly periods (each period, commencing on the date that the first such interest payment would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”).  A deferral of interest payments may not extend beyond the Stated Maturity or end on a day other than an Interest Payment Date.  Any deferred interest on the Series 2016A Notes will accrue additional interest at the Securities Rate from the applicable Interest Payment Date to the date of payment, compounded quarterly (such deferred interest and additional interest accrued thereon, “Additional Interest”), to the extent permitted under applicable law. No interest shall be due and payable during an Optional Deferral Period, except at the end of such Optional Deferral Period or upon a redemption of the Series 2016A Notes during such Optional Deferral Period.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to the termination of any Optional Deferral Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest by extending such Optional Deferral Period; provided that such Optional Deferral Period together with all such previous and further deferrals of interest payments shall not exceed forty (40) consecutive quarterly periods at any one time or extend beyond the Stated Maturity.  Upon the termination of any Optional Deferral Period, which shall be an Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, to the Person in whose name the Series 2016A Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, payable at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.  Once the Company pays all interest accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, it shall be entitled again to defer interest payments on the Series 2016A Notes as described above. 

During an Optional Deferral Period, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the Company (a) shall not declare or pay any dividend or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock, and (b) shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities (including guarantees) issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Series 2016A Notes.  The preceding sentence, however, shall not restrict (i) any of the actions described in the preceding sentence resulting from any reclassification of the Company’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Company’s capital stock for another class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (ii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (iii) dividends, payments or distributions payable in shares of capital stock, (iv) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock in connection with any employment contract, incentive plan, benefit plan or other similar arrangement of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stock purchase plan, or (v) any declaration of a dividend in connection with implementation of any stockholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any such plan, or the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any such rights pursuant thereto.

5

The Company shall provide to the Trustee notice, as provided in Section 105 of the Original Indenture, of its selection or extension of an Optional Deferral Period at least 10 Business Days and not more than 60 Business Days prior to the earlier of (a) the next applicable Interest Payment Date or (b) the date, if any, upon which the Company is required to give notice of such Interest Payment Date or the Regular Record Date thereof to the New York Stock Exchange or any applicable self-regulatory organization.  In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Subject to receipt of such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall forward such notice promptly to the Holders of the Series 2016A Notes as provided in Section 106 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 105.  Denominations.  The Series 2016A Notes may be issued in the denominations of $25.00, or any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 106.  Global Securities.  The Series 2016A Notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series 2016A Notes represented by one or more Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Series 2016A Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a Series 2016A Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary.

Subject to the procedures of the Depositary, a Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series 2016A Notes registered in the names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company, in each case within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such cessation, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) there shall have occurred an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2016A Notes. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series 2016A Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

6

Neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 107.  Transfer.  No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Series 2016A Notes, but payment will be required of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Series 2016A Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the date of the mailing of a notice pursuant to Section 1104 of the Original Indenture identifying the serial numbers of the Series 2016A Notes to be called for redemption, and ending at the close of business on the date of the mailing, or (b) to register the  transfer or exchange any Series 2016A Notes theretofore selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Series 2016A Notes redeemed in part.

SECTION 108.  Redemption at the Company’s Option.  At any time and from time to time on or after October 1, 2021, the Series 2016A Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company in whole or in part upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2016A Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Series 2016A Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date.  

In addition, before October 1, 2021, if a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may redeem the Series 2016A Notes following the occurrence  of that Tax Event, in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

In addition, before October 1, 2021, if a Rating Agency Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may redeem the Series 2016A Notes following the occurrence of that Rating Agency Event, in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 102% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of the Series 2016A Notes in part only, a new Series 2016A Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name or names of the Holders thereof upon the surrender thereof.

The Series 2016A Notes will not have a sinking fund.

Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the Original Indenture.

7

Any redemption of less than all of the Series 2016A Notes shall, with respect to the principal thereof, be divisible by $25.00.

SECTION 109.  Events of Default.

The Event of Default set forth in Section 501(5) of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Series 2016A Notes.  The Events of Default set forth in paragraphs (1), (3), (6) and (7) shall apply to the Series 2016A Notes.  

For purposes of this Section 109, the term “Default” means the following event:  default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty (i) a default in whose performance or whose breach is addressed in any paragraph of Section 501 of the Original Indenture (other than Section 501(5)) or (ii) which has expressly been included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Junior Subordinated Notes other than the Series 2016A Notes), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, 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 Outstanding Series 2016A Notes, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Covenant Default” hereunder.

Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the Trustee and the Holders of the Series 2016A Notes shall have the same rights and remedies, and shall be subject to the same limitations, restrictions, protections and exculpations, and the Company shall be subject to the same obligations and restrictions, in each case, as would apply if such Default was an Event of Default or an event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default; provided, that the principal of and accrued interest on the Series 2016A Notes may not be declared immediately due and payable by reason of the occurrence and continuation of a Default, and any notice of declaration or acceleration based on such Default shall be null and void with respect to the Series 2016A Notes; provided, further that in case a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall not be subject to Section 601(b) of the Original Indenture unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  

ARTICLE 2

8

SECTION 202.  Ratification and Incorporation of Original Indenture.  As supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

The Southern Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _____________________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of _________ DOLLARS ($__________) on the Stated Maturity shown above (or upon earlier redemption), and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date as specified above, commencing on January 1, 2017 and on the Stated Maturity (or upon earlier redemption) at the rate per annum shown above until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and at such rate on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date) will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (the “Note”) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record 

A-1

Date as specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that any interest payable at the Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.  Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes of this series shall be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payments of interest on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates.  Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.  A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is closed for business.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest otherwise due on the Series 2016A Notes by extending the interest payment period for up to forty (40) consecutive quarterly periods (each period, commencing on the date that the first such interest payment would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”).  A deferral of interest payments may not extend beyond the Stated Maturity or end on a day other than an Interest Payment Date.  As provided in the Indenture, Additional Interest on the Series 2016A Notes will accrue to the extent permitted by law.  No interest shall be due and payable during an Optional Deferral Period, except at the end of such Optional Deferral Period or upon a redemption of the Series 2016A Notes during such Optional Deferral Period.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, prior to the termination of any Optional Deferral Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest by extending such Optional Deferral Period; provided that such Optional Deferral Period together with all such previous and further deferrals of interest payments shall not exceed forty (40) consecutive quarterly periods at any one time or extend beyond the Stated Maturity.  Upon the termination of any Optional Deferral Period, which shall be an Interest Payment Date, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, to the Person in whose name the Series 2016A Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, payable at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.  Once the Company pays all interest

accrued and unpaid on the Series 2016A Notes, including any Additional Interest, it shall be entitled again to defer interest payments on the Series 2016A Notes as described above.

Payment of interest (including interest on an Interest Payment Date)(including Additional Interest) will be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer or other electronic transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 16 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note, including the principal hereof and interest hereon, is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment  and upon liquidation to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture), and this Note is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(Reverse Side of Note)

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Junior Subordinated Notes of the Company (the “Notes”), issued and issuable in one or more series under a Subordinated Note Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2015, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures incidental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as Series 2016A 5.25% Junior Subordinated Notes due October 1, 2076 (the “Series 2016A Notes”) which is unlimited in principal amount.  Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

The Series 2016A Notes will not have a sinking fund.

At any time and from time to time on or after October 1, 2021, the Series 2016A Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company in whole or in part upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2016A Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Series 2016A Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date.  

In addition, if a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may redeem the Series 2016A Notes following the occurrence  of that Tax Event, in whole, but not in part, before October 1, 2021, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

“Administrative Action” means any judicial decision or any official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement including any notice or announcement of intent to issue or adopt any administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation.

“Tax Event” means that the Company shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of: 

(a) any amendment to, clarification of, or change, including any announced prospective change, in the laws or treaties of the United States or any political subdivisions or taxing authorities, or any regulations under those laws or treaties; 

(b) an Administrative Action; 

(c) any amendment to, clarification of, or change in the official position or the interpretation of any Administrative Action or any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to an Administrative Action that differs from the previously generally accepted 

A-7

position, in each case by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or regulatory body, regardless of the time or manner in which that amendment, clarification or change is introduced or made known; or

(d) a threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company or an audit of any of the subsidiaries of the Company, or a publicly-known threatened challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Series 2016A Notes,

which amendment, clarification or change is effective or the Administrative Action is taken or issued, or interpretation or pronouncement is issued or threatened challenge is asserted or becomes publicly-known after the date of original issuance of the Series 2016A Notes, there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest payable by the Company on the Series 2016A Notes is not deductible, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion would not be deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes.

In addition, if a Rating Agency Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may redeem the Series 2016A Notes following the occurrence  of that Rating Agency Event, in whole, but not in part, before October 1, 2021, at a Redemption Price equal to 102% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

“Applicable Rating Agency” means any Rating Agency that (i)(a) published a rating for the Company on the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes and (b) publishes a rating for the Company at such time as a Rating Agency Event occurs, or (ii) any successor to a Rating Agency described in the preceding clause (i).

“Rating Agency” means any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

“Rating Agency Event” means a change to the methodology or criteria that were employed by an Applicable Rating Agency for purposes of assigning equity credit to securities such as the Series 2016A Notes on the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes (the “current methodology”), which change either (i) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series 2016A Notes would have been in effect had the current methodology not been changed by the Applicable Rating Agency, or (ii) reduces the amount of equity credit assigned to the Series 2016A Notes by the Applicable Rating Agency as compared with the amount of equity credit that such Rating Agency has assigned to the Series 2016A Notes as of the date of initial issuance of the Series 2016A Notes.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.  The Series 2016A Notes will not have a sinking fund.

A-8

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25.00 and any integral multiple thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company.

A-9

The Company and, by acceptance of this Series 2016A Note or a beneficial interest in this Series 2016A Note, each Holder hereof and any person acquiring a beneficial interest herein, agree that for United States federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that this Series 2016A Note constitute indebtedness.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

	 	Section 2.3.	Execution and Authentication. 

 An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by
manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is
authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

  
 8 

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

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

Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in
relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of
Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 10.4, (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4 and (d) an Opinion of Counsel (which may be the same Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding
clause (c)) that such Securities, when they have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances described in such Opinion of Counsel, will be
legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. 
 The Trustee shall
have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors
or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents or a committee of Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding
Series of Securities. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An
authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
  

	 	Section 2.4.	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

  
 9 

 
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however, that any appointment of the Trustee as the Notice Agent shall exclude the appointment of the
Trustee or any office of the Trustee as an agent to receive the service of legal process on the Company. 
 The Company may also from time
to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term
“Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Notice Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent. 

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

	 	Section 2.5.	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

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

	 	Section 2.6.	Securityholder Lists. 

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

  
 10 

	 	Section 2.7.	Transfer and Exchange. 

 Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a
co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are
met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 
 Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day such notice is sent, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected,
called or being called for redemption in part. 
  

	 	Section 2.8.	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

 If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

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

  
 11 

 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this
Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

 

	 	Section 2.9.	Outstanding Securities. 

 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding
and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below). 

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

	 	Section 2.10.	Treasury Securities. 

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

  
 12 

	 	Section 2.11.	Temporary Securities. 

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

	 	Section 2.12.	Cancellation. 

 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written
request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

	 	Section 2.13.	Defaulted Interest. 

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

	 	Section 2.14.	Global Securities. 

 2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or
Securities. 
 2.14.2. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the
Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company
fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such

  
 13 

 
Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the
Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 

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

 Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 

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

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF
SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.” 
 In addition, so long as the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is the Depositary, each Global
Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “UNLESS THIS GLOBAL NOTE
IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

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

  
 14 

 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 (b) The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which
the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Global Securities shall be proved by the Register. The ownership of any
Securities issued in certificated form (“Bearer Securities”) may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or other depository, wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by
the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues
until (i) another such certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future
Holder of the same Security and the holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

  
 15 

 (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, 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 Act may be given before or after such record date, but
only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 

2.14.5. Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 2.14.6. Consents,
Declaration and Directions. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written
statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture. 
  

	 	Section 2.15.	CUSIP Numbers. 

 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE III. 

REDEMPTION 
  

	 	Section 3.1.	Notice to Trustee. 

 The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve
the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a
Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the

  
 16 

 
redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 5 days before the notice is delivered to the Holders, unless a
shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee. 
  

	 	Section 3.2.	Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular
Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows: (a) if the
Securities are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, (b) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or (c) if not otherwise provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or
applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed shall be selected from Securities of the Series outstanding not
previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selected for redemption
shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral
multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 

 

	 	Section 3.3.	Notice of Redemption. 

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

(b) the redemption price; 

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

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

  
 17 

 (e) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to
the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price; 
 (g)
the CUSIP number, if any; and 
 (h) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the
Securities of a Series being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting
that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice.
  

	 	Section 3.4.	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is sent as provided in
Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate for
a Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

 

	 	Section 3.5.	Deposit of Redemption Price. 

 On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
redemption date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient (as determined by the Company) to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 

 

	 	Section 3.6.	Securities Redeemed in Part. 

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

ARTICLE IV. 
 COVENANTS 

 

	 	Section 4.1.	Payment of Principal and Interest. 

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. On

  
 18 

 
or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable payment date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the
Securities of each Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
  

	 	Section 4.2.	SEC Reports. 

 To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with the SEC copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and
regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). Reports, information and documents
filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 4.2. 

Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.2 are for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
  

	 	Section 4.3.	Compliance Certificate. 

 To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has
been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge). 
  

	 	Section 4.4.	Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

  
 19 

 ARTICLE V. 

SUCCESSORS 
  

	 	Section 5.1.	When Company May Merge, Etc. 

 The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or
into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless: 

(a) the Company is the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than the Company) is a corporation organized and
validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, the Company’s obligations on the Securities and under this Indenture; and 

(b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officer’s Certificate to the
foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the above, any Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to the
Company. Neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith. 
  

	 	Section 5.2.	Successor Corporation Substituted. 

 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company
herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease) shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. 

ARTICLE VI. 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

  

	 	Section 6.1.	Events of Default. 

 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event
of Default: 
 (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 30th day of such period); or 

  
 20 

 (b) default in the payment of principal of any Security of that Series at its
Maturity; or 
 (c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other
than defaults pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series), which default continues uncured for a period
of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, 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 outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(d) 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,

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, 

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 

(f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18. 

  
 21 

 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or
State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The Company will provide the Trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of
such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

 

	 	Section 6.2.	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

 If an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount)
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of
the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

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

 The Company covenants
that if 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the
Maturity thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms
of a Security, 

  
 22 

 then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such
Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

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

	 	Section 6.4.	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, 

  
 23 

 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
  

	 	Section 6.5.	Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

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

	 	Section 6.6.	Application of Money Collected. 

 Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation
thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.7; and 
 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities
in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 

Third: To the Company. 
  

	 	Section 6.7.	Limitation on Suits. 

 No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

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

  
 24 

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

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e)
no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 

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

 

	 	Section 6.8.	Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the
Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

 

	 	Section 6.9.	Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

	 	Section 6.10.	Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in 

  
 25 

 
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

	 	Section 6.11.	Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of
any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  

	 	Section 6.12.	Control by Holders. 

 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of
such Series, provided that 
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

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

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

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

	 	Section 6.13.	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a
Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of
this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 26 

	 	Section 6.14.	Undertaking for Costs. 

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

ARTICLE VII. 
 TRUSTEE 

 

	 	Section 7.1.	Duties of Trustee. 

 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

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

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates
or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

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

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

writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

 28 

 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without willful misconduct or negligence, and in reliance thereon. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the losses, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and this Indenture. 

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

(j) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation
or duty to do so. 
 (k) No bond or surety shall be required with respect to performance of Trustee’s duties and powers.

 (l) Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the
Notes.

	 	Section 7.3.	Individual Rights of Trustee. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to
Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
  

	 	Section 7.4.	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

 The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication.
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. 
  

	 	Section 7.5.	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with
respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after
it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 
  

	 	Section 7.6.	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 Within 60 days after each June 1, commencing June 1,
2017, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA
§ 313. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each
national securities exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities of any Series are listed on any national securities exchange or delisted from any national
securities exchange. 

  
 30 

	 	Section 7.7.	Compensation and Indemnity. 

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

The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including for the cost of defending itself) against any cost,
damages, losses, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this
Indenture or in connection with its acceptance of its obligations hereunder, as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers,
directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or
liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The provisions of
this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
  

	 	Section 7.8.	Replacement of Trustee. 

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

The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the
date of the proposed resignation. The 

  
 31 

 
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing at least 30
days prior to such removal. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series with at least 30 days written notice if: 

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

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Promptly after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each
Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to
expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement. 

 

	 	Section 7.9.	Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 

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

 

	 	Section 7.10.	Eligibility; Disqualification. 

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

  
 32 

	 	Section 7.11.	Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

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

ARTICLE VIII.

DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE 
  

	 	Section 8.1.	Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

discharged with respect to the Securities of any Series and cease to be of further effect as to all Securities of such Series (except as hereinafter provided in this Section 8.1), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute

 (3) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, or

and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an
amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, which amount shall be sufficient (as determined by the Company) for the purpose of paying and discharging each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments) of and

 33 

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

through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the
Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4. 
 (b)
The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4 or the interest
and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. 
 (c) The Trustee

which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held
under this Indenture.

Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

specified therein, any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such

purposes as a result of such deposit, covenant defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, covenant defeasance and
discharge had not occurred; 
 (e) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and 

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

	 	Section 8.5.	Repayment to Company. 

 Subject to applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as
general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee shall have no further liability with respect to such money. 
  

	 	Section 8.6.	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until
such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in 

  
 37 

 
accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment
in full to the Holders. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  

	 	Section 9.1.	Without Consent of Holders. 

 The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency as evidenced by an Officer Certificate; 
 (b) to comply with Article V; 

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

(d) to add guarantees with respect to Securities of any Series or secure Securities of any Series; 

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

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

(g) to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary; 

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

(i) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by
this Indenture; 
 (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or 

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

  
 38 

	 	Section 9.2.	With Consent of Holders. 

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

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

	 	Section 9.3.	Limitations. 

 Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or
waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

 (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed
for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities
payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal
of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default
that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any
currency other than that stated in the Security; 

  
 39 

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

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

	 	Section 9.4.	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

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

	 	Section 9.5.	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental
indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the
date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 
 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every
Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 

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

	 	Section 9.6.	Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

 The Company or the Trustee may place an
appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order in
accordance with Section 2.3 new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 
  

	 	Section 9.7.	Trustee Protected. 

 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully

  
 40 

 
protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 10.4 and stating that the supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture and constitutes a legal valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or
Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture.

 Any notice or communication to a Securityholder shall be sent electronically or by first-class mail to his address shown on the register

(or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. 
  

	 	Section 10.3.	Communication by Holders with Other Holders. 

 Securityholders of any Series may
communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Securityholders of that Series or any other Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities of that Series or all Series. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and

 Upon any request or application by

 The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a
meeting of Securityholders of one or more Series. Any Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions. 
  

	 	Section 10.7.	Legal Holidays. 

 A “Legal Holiday” is any day that is not a Business
Day. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. 

 

	 	Section 10.8.	No Recourse Against Others. 

 A director, officer, employee or stockholder (past or
present), as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each
Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

OR THEREBY. 
 Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby
may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and
each party irrevocably submits to the non exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of
court) to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The Company, the Trustee and the Holders (by their acceptance of the Securities) each
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or
other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

bind its successor. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor. 
  

	 	Section 10.13.	Severability.

 44 

	 	Section 10.14.	Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. 

 The Table of Contents, Cross Reference Table, and
headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

 

	 	Section 10.15.	Securities in a Foreign Currency. 

 Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in more than
one currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be determined by converting any such other currency into a currency that is designated upon
issuance of any particular Series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular
Series of Securities, such conversion shall be at the spot rate for the purchase of the designated currency as published in The Financial Times in the “Currency Rates” section (or, if The Financial Times is no longer published, or if such
information is no longer available in The Financial Times, such source as may be selected in good faith by the Company) on any date of determination. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in
respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

All decisions and determinations provided for in the preceding paragraph shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by
law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Trustee and all Holders. 
  

	 	Section 10.16.	Judgment Currency. 

 The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under
this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not 

  
 45 

 
entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee,
of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by
which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a Legal Holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. 

 

	 	Section 10.17.	Force Majeure. 

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

	 	Section 10.18.	U.S.A. Patriot Act.  

 The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with
Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this
Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act. 

ARTICLE XI. 
 SINKING FUNDS 

 

	 	Section 11.1.	Applicability of Article. 

 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any
sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this
Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to
as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms
of the Securities of such Series. 

  
 46 

	 	Section 11.2.	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

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

	 	Section 11.3.	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

 Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise
indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the
Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of
Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and the Company shall send or cause to be sent a notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in and in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
