Section 1.04Acts of Holders.

 

(a)Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made, 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 an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument
or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act”
of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent, or of the holding by any Person of Unregistered Securities, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 601) 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 him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his 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 acceptable to the Trustee.

 

(c)The amount of Unregistered Securities
held by any Person executing any such instrument or writings as the Holder thereof, and the numbers of such Unregistered Securities,
and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Unregistered Securities or by a certificate executed,
as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or member of a national securities exchange (wherever situated), if such certificate
is in form satisfactory to the Trustee, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary,
or exhibited to it, the Unregistered Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit
of the Person executing such instrument or writing as the Holder thereof, if such certificate or affidavit is in form satisfactory
to the Trustee. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Unregistered Securities continues until (1) another
certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Unregistered Securities is produced or (2) such Unregistered Securities
are produced by some other Person or (3) such Unregistered Securities are registered as to principal or are surrendered in exchange
for Registered Securities, or (4) such Unregistered Securities are no longer Outstanding.

 

(d)The fact and date of execution of any
such instrument or writing and the amount and number of Unregistered Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument
or writing may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require
further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

 

(e)The principal amount (except as otherwise
contemplated in clause (ii) of the proviso to the definition of “Outstanding”) and serial numbers of Securities held
by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(f)Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, election, 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.

 

(g)The Company may set a record date for
purposes of determining the identity of Holders of any Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any
action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Section 512 or 513. Such record date shall be not less than 10 nor more than
60 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders of such Securities furnished
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 701 prior to such solicitation.

 

(h)If the Company solicits from Holders
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option,
fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, election, 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, election, 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 the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes
of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Securities shall be computed as of the record date.

 

Section 1.05Notices, Etc. to Trustee
and Company. 

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted
by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: _______________________________, or

 

(b)the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this
instrument or at any other address furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company prior to such mailing.

 

Section 1.06Notice to Holders; Waiver.

 

(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event or reports to Holders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently
given if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities affected by such event, at
the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register and to addresses filed with the Trustee or preserved on the Trustee’s
list pursuant to Section 702(a) for other Holders (and to such other addressees as may be required in the case of such notice or
report under Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act), not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed for the giving of such notice or report.

 

(b)In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(c)Notice shall be sufficiently given
to Holders of Unregistered Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in each of The City of New York and, if such Securities

in such other city or cities as may be specified in the Securities, at least twice, the first publication to be not earlier than
the earliest date, if any, and not later than the last date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

 

(d)Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event,
and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

(e)In case by reason of the suspension
of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it is impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification
as shall be made at the direction of the Company and with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder.

 

(f)If it is impractical in the opinion
of the Trustee or the Company to make any publication of any notice required hereby in an Authorized Newspaper, any publication
or other notice in lieu thereof that is made or given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient publication
of such notice.

 

Section 1.07Conflict With Trust Indenture
Act.

 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern
this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the
Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity of any Security is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment or the city in
which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities, other than a provision in Securities of any series, or in the Board Resolution, Supplemental Indenture or Officer’s
Certificate that establishes the terms of such Securities, that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of

an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series, all pursuant to a Company
Order or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, (iii)
the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate or rates and any other terms of Securities of such series
shall be determined by Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (iv) if provided for in such procedures, such Company Order

(d)In authenticating such Securities and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

 

(i)that such form of Securities has
been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(ii)that the terms of such Securities
have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(iii)that such Securities, when authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

 

(e)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
301 and of the preceding paragraphs of Sections 303(c) and 303(d) in connection with a Periodic Offering, if all Securities of
a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officer’s Certificate or execute
a supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to Section 301(b) or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required
pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents
are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 

(f)If such form or terms have been so
established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this
Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

(g)Each Registered Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication and each Unregistered Security shall be dated the date of its original issuance.

 

(h)No Security shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature and no coupon shall be valid
until the Security to which it appertains has been so authenticated, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

 

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, until
the Company has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Security Registrar stating that, as a result of
the action described, the Company would not suffer adverse consequences under the provisions of United States law or regulations
in effect at the time of the delivery of Unregistered Securities, the Trustee or the Security Registrar will (i) deliver Unregistered
Securities only outside the United States and its possessions and (ii) release Unregistered Securities in definitive form to the
person entitled to physical delivery thereof only upon presentation of a certificate in the form prescribed by the Company.

 

Section 3.04Temporary Securities.

 

(a)Until definitive Securities of any
series (including Global Securities) are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver one or more temporary Securities that are produced in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
Temporary Unregistered Securities of a series may have coupons attached or may be in the form of one or more temporary Global Securities
that are Unregistered Securities of that series without coupons. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee (and Registered Securities shall be registered by the Security Registrar) upon the same conditions,
and with like effect, as a definitive Security.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

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

 

(c)Every temporary Unregistered Security
shall be substantially in the form approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution and shall be delivered to one of the Paying Agents
located outside the United States and its possessions or to such other person or persons as the Company shall direct against such
certification as the Company may from time to time prescribe by or pursuant to a Board Resolution.

 

Section 3.05Registration, Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.

 

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

 

(b)Except in the case of Securities issued
in the form of a Global Security, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of
any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

 

(c)If both Registered and Unregistered
Securities are authorized for a series of Securities and the terms of such Securities permit, (i) Unregistered Securities may be
exchanged for an equal principal amount of Registered or Unregistered Securities of the same series and date of maturity in any
authorized denominations upon delivery to the Security Registrar (or a Paying Agent (as herein defined), if the exchange is for
Unregistered Securities) of the Unregistered Security with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default appertaining
thereto and if all other requirements of the Security Registrar (or such Paying Agent) and such Securities for such exchange are
met, and (ii) Registered Securities, other than Securities issued in the form of a Global Security (except as provided in Section
311), may be exchanged for an equal principal amount of Unregistered Securities of the same series and date of maturity in any
authorized denominations (except that any coupons appertaining to such Unregistered Securities which have matured and have been
paid shall be detached) upon delivery to the Security Registrar of the Registered Securities and if all other requirements of the
Security Registrar and such Securities for such exchange are met.

 

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
exchange of Unregistered Securities for Registered Securities or Registered Securities for Unregistered Securities will be subject
to the satisfaction of the provisions of United States law and regulations in effect at the time of such exchange, and no exchange
of Registered Securities for Unregistered Securities will be made until the Company has notified the Trustee in an Officer’s
Certificate and the Security Registrar that, as a result of such exchange, the Company would not suffer adverse consequences under
such law or regulations.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(e)All Securities issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(f)Every Security presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

(g)Unless otherwise provided in a Board
Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a Board Resolution, or in an indenture supplemental hereto, with respect
to Securities of any series, no service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1106 or 1204 not
involving any transfer.

 

(h)The Company shall not be required (i)
to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security
so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

 

(i)Unregistered Securities or any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be transferable by delivery thereof.

 

Section 3.06Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
and Stolen Securities.

 

(a)If any mutilated Security or a Security
with a mutilated coupon or coupons appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Registered Security, if such surrendered security was a Registered
Security, or a replacement Unregistered Security with coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining to the surrendered Security,
if such surrendered Security was an Unregistered Security, of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

(b)If there has been delivered to the
Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or any coupon or coupons
appertaining thereto, and (ii) such bond, security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of
either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or any coupon or
coupons appertaining thereto has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, a replacement Registered Security, if such Holder’s claim pertains to a Registered Security,
or a replacement Unregistered Security with coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining to the destroyed, lost or stolen
Unregistered Security or the Unregistered Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon or coupons appertains, if such
Holder’s claim pertains to an Unregistered Security, of the same series (and Tranche, if applicable) and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

(c)In case any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto 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 or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto.

 

(d)Upon the issuance of any new Security
under this Section or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto, 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.

 

(e)Every new Security or any coupon or
coupons appertaining thereto of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether
or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto is 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 or any
coupon or coupons appertaining thereto of that series duly issued hereunder.

 

(f)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 or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto.

 

Section 3.07Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved.

 

(a)Unless otherwise provided as contemplated
by Section 301(b) with respect to the Securities of any series, interest on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest; provided,
however, that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. In case an Unregistered
Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at
such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Unregistered Security shall be surrendered without the
coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Unregistered Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when
due in accordance with provisions of this Indenture.

 

(b)Any interest on any Registered Security
of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i)
or (ii) below:

 

(i)The Company may elect to make payment
of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon
the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and
at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be
paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii). In case
an Unregistered Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series
in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record
Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Unregistered Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest
will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Unregistered
Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

(ii)The Company may make payment of
any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (ii), such manner of payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

(c)Subject to the foregoing provisions
of this Section, each Registered Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or
in lieu of any other Registered Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Registered Security.

 

(d)Subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 1002, the Holder of any coupon appertaining to an Unregistered Security shall be entitled to receive the interest payable
on such coupon upon presentation and surrender of such coupon on or after the Interest Payment Date of such coupon at an office
or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002.

 

Section 3.08Persons Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment of a Registered
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment
of principal of (and any premium) and (subject to Section 301 and Section 307) any interest on such Registered Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Ownership of Registered Securities of a
series shall be proved by the computerized book-entry system of the Depositary in the case of Registered Securities issued in the
form of a Global Security. Ownership of Unregistered Securities may be proved by the production of such Unregistered Securities
or by a certificate or affidavit executed by the person holding such Unregistered Securities or by a depository with whom such
Unregistered Securities were deposited, if the certificate or affidavit is satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. The Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company may treat the bearer of any Unregistered Security or coupon and the person in whose name
a Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments
made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

Section 3.09Cancellation.

 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301(b) for Securities of any series, all Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee and, if not theretofore cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301(b) for Securities of any series, the Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
any Securities or coupons previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever
or that the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities or coupons so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.
No Securities or coupons shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities or coupons cancelled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities or coupons held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed and the Trustee shall furnish an affidavit to the Company (setting forth the serial numbers of such Securities) attesting
to such destruction unless by a Company Order the Company shall direct that the cancelled Securities or coupons be returned to
it.

 

Section 3.10Computation of Interest.

 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301(b) for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.

 

Section 3.11Global Securities; Exchanges;
Registration and Registration of Transfer.

 

If specified as contemplated by Section
301(b) for Securities of any series, the Securities of such series may be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities,
which shall be deposited with the Depositary, and, unless otherwise specified in the form of Global Security adopted pursuant to
Section 301, be registered in the name of the Depository’s nominee.

 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301(b) for Securities of any series, any permanent Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph.
If the beneficial owners of interests in a permanent Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of
such series of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301(b), then
without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
such permanent Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged,
such permanent Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and
the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) by the Depositary or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee,
as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities of the same series
without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent Global Security,
a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as
the portion of such permanent Global Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both
as Unregistered Securities and as Registered Securities, as specified as contemplated by Section 301(b), shall be in the form of
Unregistered Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof;
provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during the periods specified by Section 305; and provided, further,
that no Unregistered Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent Global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered
to any location in the United States unless the Company has complied with Section 305(d). Promptly following any such exchange
in part, such permanent Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee, to the Depositary or such other depositary referred to
above, in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

The Global Security may be transferred to
another nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected by the Company, and upon surrender for registration of
transfer of the Global Security to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee, a new Global Security in the same aggregate principal amount. If at any time the Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary satisfactory to the Company
is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate
and deliver, Securities in definitive form to the Depositary in exchange for the Global Security. In addition, if at any time the
Company determines that it is not in the best interest of the Company or the beneficial owners of Securities to continue to have
a Global Security representing all of the Securities held by a Depositary, the Company may, at its option, execute, and the Trustee
will authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive form to the Depositary in exchange for all or a portion of the Global Security.
Promptly after any such exchange of Securities in definitive form for all or a portion of the Global Security pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company shall promulgate regulations governing registration of transfers and exchanges of Securities in definitive
form, which regulations shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and shall thereafter bind every Holder of such Securities.

 

Section 3.12Extension of Interest Payment.

 

The Company shall have the right at any
time, so long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the Securities of any series hereunder, to extend
interest payment periods on all Securities of one or more series, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301(b) with respect
to such Securities and upon such terms as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301(b) with respect to such Securities. If
the Company ever so extends any such interest payment period, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee.

together (if necessary in the case of a series of Securities not bearing interest at a fixed rate) with any Hedging Obligation

been a change in law or regulation occurring after the date hereof, to the effect that 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;

 

(iii)in the event of an election to have
Section 403 apply, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect

Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders
of the Securities of such series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding any other creditors of the Company;

 

(viii)such deposit shall not, as specified

Obligations, and such Board Resolution shall be accompanied by an irrevocable Company Request that the Trustee give notice of such
redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date in
accordance with Section 1104.

 

Section 4.05Application of Trust Money.

 

(a)Neither the Eligible Obligations nor
the funds deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 401, 402 or 403, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible

of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such
deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 606; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations
deposited with the Trustee, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested in Eligible Obligations
of the type described in Sections 401 and 402(d)(2)(A) maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay
when due the principal of and any premium and interest due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and prior

or on behalf of Holders.

 

(c)The Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon Company Request any Eligible Obligations or money held by it as provided in Section 401, 402

certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof that then would have been required to
be deposited for the purpose for which such Eligible Obligations or money was deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize
the sale by the Trustee of any Eligible Obligations held under this Indenture.

 

Section 4.06Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture
and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 402 or Section 403 shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 405 with respect to such Securities in
accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or
interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if
any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

Section 5.02Acceleration 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, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by a notice in writing to the Company (and
to the Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue
Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms
thereof) to be due and payable immediately and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) occurs, the principal of all the Securities
then Outstanding (or if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal
amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act or notice on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities.

 

At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of one or more 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 Event or Events of Default giving rise
to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences
shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

 

    	27

    	 

    

 

(1)the Company has paid or deposited irrevocably
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

 

(A)all overdue interest on all Securities
of any such series,

 

(B)the principal of (and premium, if any,
on) any Securities of such series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

 

(C)to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates borne by such Securities, unless another rate is provided
in such Securities, and

 

(D)all amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 607;

 

and

 

(2)all Events of Default with respect
to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series that have become due solely
by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

 

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

 

Section 5.03Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

If an Event of Default described in clause
(1) or (2) of Section 501 has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for
the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with respect to which such Event of Default has occurred, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium or interest and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or
rates borne by such Securities, unless another rate is provided in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607.

 

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

 

Section 5.04Trustee 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,

 

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of principal and premium or 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 amounts due to the Trustee
under Section 607) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due it under Section 607.

 

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 5.05Trustee May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Securities or Coupons.

such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and

 

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

 

The Trustee may fix a record date (with
respect to Registered Securities) and payment date for any such payment to Holders of Securities.

 

Section 5.07Limitation on Suits.

 

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

 

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

 

    	29

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.08Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium 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 such Holder.

 

Section 5.09Restoration 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

or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 5.11Delay 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.

and be continuing in respect of a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that 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
or Tranche; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to more than one
series of Securities of equal ranking, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
all such series of equal ranking, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of
the Securities of any one of such series of equal ranking; provided, further that

 

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

Section 5.13Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

The Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences; provided that if any such
past default has occurred with respect to more than one series of Securities of equal ranking, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series of equal ranking, considered as one class, may make such waiver,
and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series of equal ranking, in each case, except a default

or premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

 

(2)in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof that under Section 902 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such

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,

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 aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which such suit may be brought, considered as one class,

Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date, or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Repayment Date).

Laws.

 

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

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.01Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a)Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series,

 

(1)the Trustee undertakes to perform,
with respect to Securities of such series, such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

(2)in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform
to the requirements of this Indenture.

 

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

 

(c)No provision of this Indenture shall
be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that

 

(1)this subsection shall not be construed
to limit the effect of sub-section (a) of this Section;

 

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

 

(3)the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any one or more series, as provided herein, relating to the time,

upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

(4)no provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(d)Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

Section 6.02Notice of Defaults.

 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any
default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities
of such series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 704(3) (and, if Unregistered Securities of that series are outstanding,
shall cause to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if Securities of that series
are listed on any securities exchange outside of the United States, in the city in which such securities exchange is located) notice

that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series
or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders
of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 75 days after the occurrence
thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Article, provided that, neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company or any obligor on the Securities may serve as Trustee

of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

 

Section 6.10Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)No resignation or removal of the Trustee
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

 

(b)The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance
by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 has not been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(c)The Company may at any time by a Board
Resolution remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any or all series.

 

    	35

    	 

    

 

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

 

(e)If at any time:

 

(1)the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 608 with respect to the Securities of any series, after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or

 

(2)the Trustee ceases to be eligible
under Section 609 and fails to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

 

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

 

then, in any such case, subject to Section 514, any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment
of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

(f)If the Trustee resigns, is removed
or becomes incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities
of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to
the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series is
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered
to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series has been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, subject to Section
514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(g)The Company shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all
Holders of Securities of such series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 704(3) and, if any Unregistered Securities
are outstanding, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if any Unregistered
Securities are listed on any securities exchange outside of the United States, in the city in which such securities exchange is
located. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

(h)All provisions of this Section except
subparagraph (d) and Section 611(b) (except for the last clause, after omitting the words “after deducting all amounts owed
to the retiring Trustee pursuant to Section 607,” which shall apply) shall apply also to any Paying Agent located outside
the United States and its possessions.

Section 6.11Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor.

 

(a)In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of all series, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company
or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)No successor Trustee shall accept its
appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

 

Section 6.12Merger, Conversion, Consolidation
or Succession to Business.

 

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

 

    	37

    	 

    

 

Section 6.13Preferential Collection
of Claims Against Company.

 

The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture
Act § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

 

Section 6.14Appointment of Authenticating
Agent. 

 

(a)At any time when any of the Securities
remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may include any Person that owns, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock of the Trustee or a corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trustee or of
such other Person) with respect to one or more series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, that shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. If
any Unregistered Securities are outstanding, the Trustee shall publish notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in
The City of New York and, if any Unregistered Securities are listed on any securities exchange outside of the United States, in
the city in which such securities exchange is located. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication
and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority in the United States. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent ceases to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

(b)Any corporation into which an Authenticating
Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall
be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.

 

(c)An Authenticating Agent may resign
with respect to one or more series of Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent with respect to one or more series of Securities by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon
such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent that is acceptable to the Company and shall provide notice
of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series or Tranche with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve, as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
An Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall be entitled to rely on Sections 111, 308, 604 and 605 hereunder.

 

    	38

    	 

    

 

(d)The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating
Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

 

(e)If an appointment with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series or Tranche
may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication
in the following form:

 

This is one of the Securities of the series
designated pursuant to and issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

	 	 	[                                                                      ]
	 	 	As Trustee
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	By:	 
	 	 	 	As Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	By:	 
	 	 	 	Authorized Officer of Authenticating Agent
	Date: 	 	 	 	 

 

(f)If all of the Securities of a series
may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon
original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original
issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in accordance with such procedures as
shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent (which, if so requested by the Company, may be an Affiliate of the
Company) having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

(b)If three or more Holders (herein referred
to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such

any successor Person that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article from its liability as obligor
and maker on any of the Securities.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
if the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture or at any time thereafter becomes
amended and

 

(x)if any such amendment requires one
or more changes to any provisions hereof or the inclusion herein of any additional provisions, or by operation of law is deemed
to effect such changes or incorporate such provisions by reference or otherwise, this Indenture shall be deemed to have been amended
so as to conform to such amendment to the Trust Indenture Act, and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any
Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to effect or evidence such changes or additional provisions; or

 

(y)if any such amendment permits one or
more changes to, or the elimination of, any provisions hereof that, at the date hereof or at any time thereafter, are required
by the Trust Indenture Act to be contained herein (or if it is no longer required by the Trust Indenture Act for the Indenture
to contain one or more provisions), this Indenture shall be deemed to have been amended to effect such changes or elimination,
and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to evidence
such amendment hereof; or

 

(z)if, by reason of any such amendment,
it shall be no longer necessary for this Indenture to contain one or more provisions that, at the date of the execution and delivery
hereof, are required by the Trust Indenture Act to be contained herein, the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of
any Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to effect the elimination of such provisions.

 

Section 9.02Supplemental Indentures
With Consent of Holders.

 

(a)Except as set forth in paragraph (b)
below, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of each series affected (voting as one class) by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and
the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms
or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant
to a Company Order), and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto 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 Holders of the Securities of each such series
or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such
series under this Indenture; provided, however, that if there are Securities of more than one series of equal ranking
Outstanding hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of
one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required.

 

(b)No such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

 

(1)change the Stated Maturity of the
principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount or premium, if any,
thereof or the rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon) or any premium payable upon the
redemption thereof, or change the method of calculating the rate of interest thereon, or reduce the amount of the principal of
an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant
to Section 502, or change the coin or currency (or other property) in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon
is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date, or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holders, on
or after the Repayment Date), or modify any provisions of this Indenture with respect to the conversion or exchange of the Securities
into Securities of another series or into any other debt or equity securities in a manner adverse to the Holders, or

 

    	44

    	 

    

 

(2)reduce the percentage in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture,
or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults
hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture, or

 

(3)modify any of the provisions of this
Section, Section 513 or Section 1008, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided,
however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references
to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section and Section 1008, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance
with the requirements of Sections 611(b) and 901(9).

 

A supplemental indenture that changes or
eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or
more particular series of Securities, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any
other series.

 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of
Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if
such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver by a Holder of such Holder’s rights to consent under this Section
shall be deemed to be a consent of such Holder.

 

Section 9.03Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.

 

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 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.04Effect of Supplemental
Indentures. 

 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part
of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon
the execution and delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in effect for all purposes.

 

Section 9.05Conformity With Trust Indenture
Act.

 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

 

Section 9.06Reference in Securities
to Supplemental Indentures.

 

Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company so determines, new Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and any appertaining coupons so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed
by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche
and any appertaining coupons.

 

    	45

    	 

    

 

Section 9.07Revocation and Effect of
Consents.

 

Until an amendment or 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 on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented to the amendment or waiver. After an amendment
or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of each series of Securities affected by such amendment or waiver.

 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date
is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the 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 consent to such amendment or waiver or to
revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

 

After an amendment or waiver becomes effective
it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (1) through (3) of Section 902(c). In such case,
the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

 

Section 9.08Modification Without Supplemental
Indenture.

 

If the terms of any particular series of
Securities have been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate as contemplated by Section 301, and not
in an indenture supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means
of a supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee;
provided, however, that such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee
or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture that would be required to be satisfied if such additions,
changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the acceptance
thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be a “supplemental
indenture” for purposes of Sections 904 and 906.

COVENANTS

 

Section 10.01Payment of Principal,
Premium and Interest.

 

(a)Subject to the following provisions,
the Company will pay to the Trustee the amounts, in such coin or currency as is at the time legal tender for the payment of public
or private debt, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes set forth herein and in the text of the Securities for each series,
and the Company hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee from funds so paid to it to make or cause to be made payment of the principal
of and any premium and interest on the Securities and coupons of each series as set forth herein and in the text of such Securities
and coupons. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of a series, the Trustee will arrange directly with any Paying Agents
for the payment, or the Trustee will make payment, from funds furnished by the Company, of the principal of and any premium and
interest, on the Securities and coupons of each series by check or draft.

 

    	46

    	 

    

 

(b)Unless otherwise provided in the Securities
of a series, interest, if any, on Registered Securities of a series shall be paid by check or draft on each Interest Payment Date
for such series to the Holder thereof at the close of business on the Regular Record Date specified in the Securities of such series;
provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. The Company
may pay such interest by check or draft mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears on the register for Securities of such
series. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of a series, principal of Registered Securities shall be payable by check or
draft and only against presentation and surrender of such Registered Securities at the office of the Paying Agent, unless the Company
shall have otherwise instructed the Trustee in writing.

 

(c)Unless otherwise provided in the Securities
of a series, (i) interest, if any, on Unregistered Securities shall be paid by check or draft and only against presentation and
surrender of the coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they mature and (ii) original issue discount
(as defined in Section 1273 of the Code), if any, on Unregistered Securities shall be paid by check or draft and only against presentation
and surrender of such Securities, in either case at the office of a Paying Agent located outside of the United States and its possessions,
unless the Company has otherwise instructed the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate. Unless otherwise provided in the Securities
of a series, principal of and premium, if any, of Unregistered Securities shall be paid by check or draft and only against presentation
and surrender of such Securities as provided in the Securities of a series. If at the time a payment of principal of and premium,
if any, or interest, if any, or original issue discount, if any, on an Unregistered Security or coupon becomes due and the payment
of the full amount so payable at the office or offices of all the Paying Agents outside the United States and its possessions is
illegal or effectively precluded because of the imposition of exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the payment of
such amount in United States currency, then the Company may instruct the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate to make such
payments at the office of a Paying Agent located in the United States. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not
so instruct the Trustee with respect to payment in the United States if such payment would cause such Unregistered Security to
be treated as a “registration-required obligation” under United States law and regulations.

 

(d)At the election of the Company, any
payments by the Company provided for in this Indenture or in any of the Securities may be made by electronic funds transfer.

 

Section 10.02Maintenance of Office
or Agency.

 

(a)The Company will maintain in each Place
of Payment for any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where Registered Securities, or any Tranche
thereof, of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and a Place of Payment where (subject to Sections
305 and 307) Securities may be presented for payment or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301(b) with respect
to any such series, the Company shall maintain such offices or agencies in connection with each series in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, State of New York. With respect to any series of Securities issued in whole or in part as Unregistered Securities,
the Company shall maintain one or more Paying Agents located outside the United States and its possessions and shall maintain such
Paying Agents for a period of one year after the principal of such Unregistered Securities has become due and payable. During any
period thereafter for which it is necessary in order to conform to United States tax law or regulations, the Company will maintain
a Paying Agent outside the United States and its possessions to which the Unregistered Securities or coupons appertaining thereto
may be presented for payment and will provide the necessary funds therefor to such Paying Agent upon reasonable notice. The Security
Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each series of Securities issued in whole or in part as Registered Securities and
to their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-Security Registrars acceptable to the Trustee and one or
more additional Paying Agents for each series of Securities, and the Company may terminate the appointment of any co-Security Registrar
or Paying Agent at any time upon written notice. The term “Security Register” or “Security Registrar” includes
any co-Security Registrar. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Company shall notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. Subject to Section 305, if the Company fails to maintain
a Security Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such
required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

 

    	47

    	 

    

 

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

 

(c)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
any office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at any office of the Company in which event the Company shall perform
all functions to be performed at such office or agency.

 

Section 10.03Money for Securities Payments
to Be Held in Trust.

 

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

 

(b)Whenever the Company has one or more
Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to (and if on, then before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)) each
due date of the principal of and any premium or interest on such Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient (in immediately
available funds, if payment is made on the due date) to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due, such sum
to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest as provided in the Trust Indenture
Act and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

(c)The Company will cause each Paying
Agent for any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

 

(i)comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and

 

(ii)during the continuance of any default
by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities
of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent
for payment in respect of the Securities of that series

 

    	48

    	 

    

 

(d)The Company may at any time, for the
purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct
any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment
by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

(e)Any money deposited with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, or received by the Trustee in respect of Eligible Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
401 or 404, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on any Security
of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years (or such shorter period for the return of such funds to the Company under applicable
abandoned property laws) after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

 

Section 10.04Statement as to Compliance.

 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, a written statement, which need
not comply with Section 102, signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting
officer of the Company stating, as to each signer thereof stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof it is
in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Indenture (without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if it is in default, specifying all such defaults and
the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

 

Section 10.05Corporate Existence.

 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company will
do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter
and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise
if, in the judgment of the Company, the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

 

Section 10.06Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in (i) any additional covenants or restrictions specified with
respect to the Securities of any series as contemplated by Section 301 if before the time for such compliance the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount (or such larger proportion as may be required in respect of waiving a past default
of any such additional covenant or restriction) of the Outstanding Securities of all series of equal ranking with respect to which
such covenant or restriction was so specified, considered as one class, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in
such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition and (ii) Sections 1002 and 1004 and Article
Eight if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of Securities of all series
of equal ranking Outstanding under this Indenture by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; but, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section, no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver becomes
effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 11.01Applicability of Article.

 

Securities of any series that are redeemable
before their Stated Maturity (or, if the principal of the Securities of any series is payable in installments, the Stated Maturity
of the final installment of the principal thereof) shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301(b) for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

 

Section 11.02Election to Redeem; Notice
to Trustee.

 

The election of the Company to redeem any
Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date
fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice is satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities
(a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities
the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

 

Section 11.03Selection by Trustee of
Securities to Be Redeemed.

 

If less than all the Securities of any series
are to be redeemed, unless the procedures of the Depositary provide otherwise, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
is provided for any particular series, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate
and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities
of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger
than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s
Certificate, the Company has offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any series,
and less than all of such Securities as to which such offer was made have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Trustee,
if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities that have not been
so tendered.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
and the Security Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and the method it has chosen for the selection of such Securities.

 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless
the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

 

Section 11.04Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, notice of redemption shall be given by electronic transmission or first-class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register.

 

    	50

    	 

    

 

If Unregistered Securities are to be redeemed,
notice of redemption shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if such Securities to be redeemed
are listed on any securities exchange outside of the United States, in the city in which such securities exchange is located, or
in such other city or cities as may be specified in the Securities, once in each of two different calendar weeks, the first publication
to be not less than 30 nor more than 90 days before the redemption date.

 

All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)the Redemption Date,

 

(2)the Redemption Price, or the formula
pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time notice is given,

 

(3)if less than all the Outstanding Securities
of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular

Exhibit 10.1

 

THIS OPTION AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH SALE, OFFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. UPON THE FULFILLMENT OF CERTAIN OF SUCH CONDITIONS THE MINT LEASING, INC. HAS AGREED TO DELIVER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF A NEW OPTION OR TO THE HOLDER THEREOF A NEW CERTIFICATE FOR THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER, AS APPLICABLE, IN EACH CASE NOT BEARING THIS LEGEND, FOR THE OPTION OR SUCH SHARES, AS THE CASE MAY BE, REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE HOLDER HEREOF OR THEREOF. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS OPTION OR OF THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE MINT LEASING, INC.

 

THE MINT LEASING, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION

 

	
No. ISO 2

	
Void after July 10, 2018

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Jerry Parish (the “Holder”) is entitled during the period commencing on September 10, 2008 (“Initial Option Exercise Date”) to subscribe for and purchase Two Million (2,000,000) shares of the fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), $0.001 par value (the “Shares”), of THE MINT LEASING, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) at the per share exercise price of $0.10 per share (the “Exercise Price”).  This Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety that prior Incentive Stock Option dated on or around July 18, 2008 (No. ISO 1), effective for all purposes as of September 23, 2014.

This Option is granted pursuant to and is governed  by the Company’s 2008 Officer, Director, Employee and Consultant Stock Option, Stock Warrant and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) and shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as an incentive stock option pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Notwithstanding the above, in the event this Option is not eligible to be granted as an incentive option, this option shall be treated as a non-qualified, non-incentive option for all purposes.

1.

	
Method of Exercise; Payment.

	  	
a.

	
Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Option may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Option (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company, by certified, cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price of the Shares being purchased.

	  	
b.

	
Cashless Exercise. The Holder, in lieu of purchasing the entire number of Shares subject to purchase hereunder, shall have the right to relinquish all or any part of the then unexercised portion of this Option for a number of Shares to be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this clause (b):

X  =    Y(A-B)

                A

Where:

X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder under this Section 1(b);

Y = the number of Shares identified in the Notice of Exercise as being relinquished

A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock of the Company on such date; and

B = the Exercise Price on such date.

“Fair Market Value” means as of any date, means the average of the  Closing Prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of Exercise, or other applicable date). As used herein, the term “Closing Price” for any security as of any date means the last sales price of the security as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg L.P. or an equivalent, reliable reporting service (“Bloomberg”). If the Closing Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above or if the Company’s Common Stock is not publicly-traded, the Closing Price shall be the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on a principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

  

2

  

	  	
c.

	
Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Option, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Option has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Option representing the shares with respect to which this Option shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

	  	
2.

	
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Option will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Option may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Option.

	  	
3.

	
Adjustments. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Option and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

	  	
a.

	
Reclassification. In the case of any reclassification or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Option (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Option), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a new Option (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder), or the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Option, so that the Holder shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Option, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, (i) the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Option, or (ii) in the case of such a merger or sale in which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of the Holder, the securities of the successor or purchasing corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the transaction. The provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

 

 

  

3

  

	  	
b.

	
Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

	  	
4.

	
Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Shares purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall provide notice to the Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the number and class of shares which may be purchased thereafter and the Exercise Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

	  	
5.

	
Fractional Shares. Whether or not the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option is adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, this Option may not be exercised for fractional shares and the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares upon exercise of the Options or to distribute Shares certificates that evidence fractional Shares.  In lieu of fractional Shares, there shall be returned to the Holder upon such exercise an amount in cash, in United States dollars, equal to the amount in excess of that required to purchase the largest number of full Shares.

	  	
6.

	
Termination of Business Relationship.

	  	
a.

	
Termination Other than for Cause.  If the Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated, other than by reason of death, disability, as defined in Section 5.02 of the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Holder (the “Employment Agreement), or termination for Cause as defined in Section 5.03 of the Employment Agreement, no further installments of the Option shall become exercisable, and this Option shall terminate (and may no longer be exercised) after the passage of ninety (90) days from the date Holder’s employment ceases, but in no event later than the scheduled expiration date. In such a case, the Holder’s only rights hereunder shall be those that are properly exercised before the termination of the Option.

 

 

  

4

  

 

 

	  	
b.

	
Termination for Cause. If the Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in Section 5.03 of the Employment Agreement), this Option shall terminate upon the Holder’s receipt of written notice of such termination and shall thereafter not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever.

 

	  	
c.

	
Death of Holder.  If the Holder dies while employed by the Company, this Option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of his death, by the Holder’s estate, personal representative or beneficiary to whom this Option has been assigned pursuant to Section 10(a), at any time within 180 days after the date of death, but not later than the scheduled expiration date.

 

	  	
d.

	
Disability of Holder.  If the Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of his disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), this Option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date the employment was terminated, at any time within 180 days after such termination, but not later than the scheduled expiration date.

 

	  	
e.

	
Effect of Termination.  At the expiration of time periods described in Sections 6(a), (c) and (d) or the scheduled expiration date, whichever is earlier, this Option shall terminate (and shall no longer be exercisable) and the only rights hereunder shall be those as to which this Option was properly exercised before such termination.

 

	  	
7.

	
Representations of the Company. The Company represents that (i) all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the issuance of this Option, the issuance of the Shares pursuant to exercise of this Option, and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder were taken prior to and are effective as of the Initial Option Exercise Date; and (ii) the Exercise Price is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Initial Option Exercise Date.

	  	
8.

	
Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

	  	
a.

	
This Option and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).  Upon exercise of this Option, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Option are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

 

 

 

  

5

  

	  	
b.

	
The Holder understands that the Option and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration.

	  	
c.

	
The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Option and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Option and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.

	  	
d.

	
The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Option.

	  	
9.

	
Restrictive Legend. The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. UPON THE FULFILLMENT OF CERTAIN OF SUCH CONDITIONS THE MINT LEASING, INC. HAS AGREED TO DELIVER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF A NEW CERTIFICATE NOT BEARING THIS LEGEND FOR THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE HOLDER HEREOF. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE MINT LEASING, INC.

b.

	
The Company need not register a transfer of this Option or Shares bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 9 hereof, unless the conditions specified in such legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Shares, unless one of the conditions specified in the legend referred to in Section 9 hereof is satisfied.

	  	
11.

	
Rights of Shareholders. No holder of this Option shall be entitled, as an Option holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Option, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Option shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

Entire Agreement; Modification; Waivers.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties, and supersedes any prior agreements with respect to its subject matter.  This Agreement may only be modified only by a written agreement, executed by the Holder and the Company, provided that the Company may make any changes in this Agreement that it shall deem appropriate to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or manifest mistake or error herein contained.

	  	
15.

	
Jurisdiction and Venue.  The courts of the State of Texas (the “Texas Courts”) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, adjudicate, decide, determine and enter final judgment in any action, suit, proceeding, case, controversy or dispute, whether at law or in equity or both, and whether in contract or tort or both, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the construction or enforcement hereof or thereof (any such action, suit, proceeding, case, controversy or dispute, a “Related Action”).  The Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Texas Courts to hear, adjudicate, decide, determine and enter final judgment in any Related Action.  The Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to assert any right or claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Texas Courts in any Related Action, including any claim of forum non conveniens or that the Texas Courts are not the proper venue or form to adjudicate any Related Action.  If any Related Action is brought or maintained in any court other than the Texas Courts, then that court shall, at the request of the Company or the Holder, dismiss that action.

	  	
16.

	
Specific Performance.

Therefore, if the Holder shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Company hereby waives all claims or defenses therein that the Holder has an adequate remedy at law, and hereby agrees not to assert or otherwise raise any such claim or defense.

	  	
17.
