Amendment to

Transition Services and Separation Agreement and Mutual General Release

 

This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Transition Services and Separation Agreement and Mutual General Release entered into by and between Groupon, Inc. (“Groupon”) and Rob Solomon (“Solomon”) as of April 5, 2011 (the “Transition Agreement”) is being entered into by and between Groupon, Inc. and Rob Solomon (together, the “Parties”), effective July 25, 2011.

 

1.              Last Day of Employment

Section 1.2 of the Transition Agreement is hereby amended to provide that Solomon’s last day of employment with Groupon will be November 1, 2011 (the “Separation Date”).  From the date of this Amendment until the Separation Date, Solomon shall continue to provide the transitional duties as set forth in Section 1.2 of the Transition Agreement.

 

2.              Consideration

Groupon agrees to pay Solomon an amount equal to $500 per week from July 25, 2011 through the Separation Date in accordance with Groupon’s regular payroll schedule and less all appropriate federal and state income and employment taxes.  Solomon shall also be eligible for all employment benefits and reimbursement of expenses through the Separation Date unless he is earlier terminated for Cause (as such term is defined in the Transition Agreement) or resigns.

 

3.              Option Vesting and Exercise

As a clarification and not a modification of the Transition Agreement or any other agreement that may exist between Solomon and Groupon, the Parties agree that the attached Exhibit A accurately reflects number of options on Groupon common stock vested by Mr. Solomon as of July 25, 2011 (the “Options”).  The parties further agree that (a) notwithstanding Solomon’s continued employment at Groupon after July 25, 2011, Solomon is not entitled to any additional vesting of any options on Groupon common stock or any other consideration other than that set forth in this Amendment, and (b) all other terms of the Options shall remain as set forth in ThePoint.com, Inc. 2008 Stock Plan and any grant documents, notices of grant, and option agreements issued to Solomon thereunder.

 

 

4.              No Effect on Transition Agreement

The Parties agree that this Amendment and the extension of the Separation Date shall have no effect on any provision of the Transition Agreement except Section 1.2 and, except as modified by this Amendment, all other provisions of the Transition Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

8

 

facsimile
thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. 

        Only
such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by each Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security
so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

        In
case any Officer of an Issuer who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such Officer before the Debt Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by an Issuer, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Debt Securities had not
ceased to be such Officer; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of an Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper Officers of
such Issuer, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such Officer. 

        Section 2.05.    Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities.    At any time and from time to time after the

Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

        (a)   a
copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, authorizing the terms of issuance of
any series of Debt Securities; 

        (b)   an
executed supplemental Indenture, if any; 

        (c)   an
Officers' Certificate; and 

        (d)   an
Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 13.05 substantially to the effect that: 

          (i)  that
the form of such Debt Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by
Section 2.01 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

         (ii)  that
the terms of such Debt Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by
Section 2.03 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

        (iii)  that
such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by each Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of
general applicability. 

        Such
Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than Dollars. 

        The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such
action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents (or any
combination thereof) shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

9

 

  
        The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

        Unless
otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        Section 2.06.    Denomination of Debt Securities.    Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for
any series, the Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable only as fully registered Debt Securities in such Dollar denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In
the absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. 

        Section 2.07.    Registration of Transfer and Exchange.    

        (a)   The
Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Debt Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Debt Security
Register"), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of all Debt Securities and the transfer of Debt Securities as in this
Article II provided. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Debt Security at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, each Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. In no event may Debt
Securities be issued as, or exchanged for, bearer securities. 

        Unless
and until otherwise determined by the Company, the register of the Company for the purpose of registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Debt Securities shall be
kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated "Registrar." 

        Debt
Securities of any series (other than a Global Security) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series of other authorized
denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 4.02, and each
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 

        (b)   All
Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar) be
duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing. 

        All
Debt Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of Debt Securities shall be the valid obligations of each Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as the Debt Securities surrendered for such exchange or transfer. 

        No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09), but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company's own
expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. 

10

 

        The
Issuers shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities of a series either (i) during a period beginning 15 days
next preceding any selection for redemption of Debt Securities of such series and ending on the close of business on the day of giving the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) between a record
date and the next succeeding interest payment date, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security called for redemption (except, in the case of Debt Securities to be redeemed
in part, the portion not to be redeemed). 

        Specific
procedures for registration of transfer and exchange of any series of Debt Securities may be set forth in the applicable supplemental Indenture for such Debt Securities. 

        Section 2.08.    Temporary Debt Securities.    Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any
series, each Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate
for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as
may be appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed by each Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like
effect, as the definitive Debt Securities. 

        If
temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as provided in Section 2.07 in connection
with a transfer. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, each Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(q) with respect to
the payment of interest on Global Securities in temporary form. 

        Upon
any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.07
or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. 

        Section 2.09.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities.    If (a) any mutilated Debt
Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt
Security, and there is delivered to each Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent harmless, and neither the Company nor
the Trustee receives written notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then each Issuer shall execute and, upon an Issuer Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, assessment or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption
shall become mutilated or be 

11

 

destroyed,
lost or stolen, each Issuer may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt
Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish each Issuer and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in
case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof. 

        Every
substituted Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen
shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of each Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights or
remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their
surrender. 

        Section 2.10.    Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities.    All Debt Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or a Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by
the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its customary manner. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee. If either
Issuer shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented thereby unless and until the same are delivered or
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Issuers may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities that have been redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

        Section 2.11.    Provisions of this Indenture and Debt Securities for the Sole Benefit of the Parties and the
Holders.    Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein
contained, all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying agents. 

        Section 2.12.    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.    

        (a)   Interest
on any Debt 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 such
Debt Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the
regular record date. Payment of interest on Debt Securities shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03), or at the option
of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 2.03 and in
accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder. 

        (b)   Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a particular series delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Debt Security. 

12

 

        Section 2.13.    Securities Denominated in Dollars.    Except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Debt Securities of such series will be made in Dollars. 

        Section 2.14.    Wire Transfers.    Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the
Company (or any other obligor on a particular series of Debt Securities) may make any payment of moneys required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Trustee before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. 

        Section 2.15.    Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.    

        (a)   If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form
of one or more Global Securities, then each Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or
Securities, which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in an Officers' Certificate, shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or
its nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 

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

        TRANSFERS
OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF
PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN," 

or
such other legend as may then be required by the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of clause (c) below,
unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities in registered form, a Global Security may be transferred,
in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the
Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a
nominee of such successor Depositary. 

13

 

        (c)   (i)    If
at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Global Security or Securities or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable
statute, rule or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, each Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt
of an Issuer Request for the authentication and delivery of such individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt
Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities. 

         (ii)  The
Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine, subject to the Depositary's rules, that the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or
issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event each Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Issuer Request for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt
Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global
Security or Securities. 

        (iii)  If
specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security, the
Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon each Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of an Issuer Request for the authentication and
delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same
series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global
Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof, unless such Global Security is endorsed by the Trustee or other custodian to reflect a reduction of such
aggregate principal amount, in which case no new Global Security need to be authenticated and delivered. 

        (iv)  In
any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three subclauses, each Issuer will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual
Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of
the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global
Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar in accordance with its applicable procedures. The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Debt Securities
to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. 

14

 

         (v)  Payments
in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will be payable to
the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such Global Security. None of the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying
agent or any agent of any of them will have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial ownership interests of
the Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary's direct or indirect participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary, its nominee
or any of the Depositary's direct or indirect participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, (b) the payments to the beneficial owners of the Global
Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or (c) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of the Depositary's direct or
indirect participants. None of the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or
indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be
protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt
Securities to be issued). 

        Section 2.16.    Medium Term Securities.    Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debt
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors,
supplemental Indenture, Opinion of Counsel or written order or any other document otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 13.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of
each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such series to
be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance shall be in writing and shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.05 or 13.05 shall be true and
correct as if made on such date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall
relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series. 

        An
Issuer Request delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt Securities which are the subject thereof will
be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time upon the written order of Persons designated in such written order and that such Persons are authorized
to determine, consistent with the Officers' Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt
Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate, supplemental Indenture or such resolution. 

        Section 2.17.    Defaulted Interest.    Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by each Issuer, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 

          (i)  Each
Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series are registered at the close of business
on a special 

15

 

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 such Debt 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 pre-paid, to each Holder thereof at its address as it appears in the Debt
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 Debt Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such special record date. 

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

        Section 2.18.    CUSIP Numbers.    The Issuers in issuing the Debt Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the "CUSIP"
numbers. 

 
 

  ARTICLE III
  REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES    
    

        Section 3.01.    Applicability of Article.    The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Debt
Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 

        Section 3.02.    Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities.    In case an Issuer shall desire to
exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, by resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental
Indenture, the Company shall fix a date for redemption and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of
Debt Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner provided in Section 13.03. The notice if given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated
for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series. 

16

 

        Each
such notice of redemption shall specify the Redemption Date, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed (or the method of calculating such
redemption price if it is not then determinable), the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the
Redemption Date will be paid, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, as specified in said notice,
that the redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, on and after the Redemption Date any interest thereon or on the
portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities original issue discount accrued after the Redemption Date will cease to accrue, the terms
of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of that series are being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness of the CUSIP number, if any,
listed in such notice or printed on the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the certificate
numbers of the Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed, unless such Debt Securities are in global form. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of that series will be issued in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. 

        At
least five Business Days before the giving of any notice of redemption, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of the
Redemption Date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will occur. Such notice shall be accompanied by an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. 

        By
11 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date for any Debt Securities, the Company (or any other obligor on such Debt Securities) shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay
the redemption price of such Debt Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date. 

        If
less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such other method as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed;
provided, however, that if at such time such Debt Securities are represented by a Global Security, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the principal amount of such Debt Securities
that are to be redeemed, it being understood that such determination shall be made by the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures. In any case where more than one Debt Security of such
series is registered in the same name, the Trustee may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Debt Security of such series. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If
any Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such Redemption Date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear interest until paid from the
Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities
to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Debt Securities called for redemption. 

        Section 3.03.    Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption.    If notice of redemption has been given as
provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with 

17

 

respect
to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company (or any other obligor on such Debt Securities) shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities at
the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease
to accrue, and any original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of
Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon
to the date fixed for redemption. 

        Any
Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment specified in the notice given pursuant to Section 3.02 with, if the Company, the
Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
its attorney duly authorized in writing, and each Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security
or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, each Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered. In the case of a Global Security providing appropriate space for such notation, the Trustee or a custodian, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may
make a notation on such Global Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 

        Section 3.04.    Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.    The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment." 

        In
lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the
Trustee Debt Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by an Issuer or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been
redeemed either at the election of an Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt
Securities, resolution or
supplemental Indenture; provided, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly. 

        Section 3.05.    Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.    Not less than 60 days prior to each
sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that
series pursuant to the terms of that series, any resolution or supplemental Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section 3.05 (which Debt 

18

 

Securities,
if not previously redeemed, will accompany such certificate) and whether either Issuer intends to exercise its right to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to
such series. Such certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery each
Issuer shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, by 11 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the
Company to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute a Default, but such failure shall require that the sinking fund payment due on
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory
sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in this Section 3.05 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with
respect to such series. 

        Any
sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000
(or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is
made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such Debt Securities at the redemption
price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund
moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be applied by the Trustee,
together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity. 

        The
Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of Section 3.02, and the Company
shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.02, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Debt Securities are being
redeemed by operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 

        The
Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by operation of the sinking fund for such
series during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with
respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall
redeem such Debt Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III. Except as aforesaid, any
moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such
Default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities; provided, however, that in case such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided
herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.05.

  ARTICLE IV
  PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE ISSUERS AND THE GUARANTOR    
    

        Section 4.01.    Payment of Principal of, and Premium, If Any, and Interest on, Debt Securities.    Each
Issuer, for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities at the
place, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein or in the Debt Securities. Each installment of interest on any Debt Securities not in global form may at the Company's option be paid
by mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto to the address of such Person as it appears on the Debt Security Register. 

        Principal,
premium, if any, and interest in respect of Debt Securities of any series shall be considered paid on the date due if, by 11 a.m., New York City time, on such date the
Trustee or any paying agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest then due. 

        Each
Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal or premium, if any, at the rate specified therefor in the Debt Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

        Section 4.02.    Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Registration of Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Debt
Securities.    The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be
presented or surrendered for payment,
and it shall also maintain in the United States (in or outside such Place of Payment) an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. Initially, such office or agency shall be the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, except that the office or agency where such notices and demands to or upon the Company may be served shall be the office of the Trustee indicated in Section 13.03 hereof. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

        The
Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside such Place of Payment), and may from time
to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the location of any such different or additional office or
agency. 

        Section 4.03.    Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee.    The Company, whenever necessary to
avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.08, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each
series of Debt Securities. 

        Section 4.04.    Duties of Paying Agents, etc.    The Company shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than
the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04, 

          (i)  that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of any series (whether
such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; 

20

 

         (ii)  that
it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal
of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and 

        (iii)  that
it will at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by it as
such agent. 

        (b)   If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, no later than 11 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any,
or interest on, the Debt Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such
principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor on such Debt
Securities to make any payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Debt Securities when the same shall be due and payable. 

        (c)   Anything
in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent, as required by this Section 4.04, 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. 

        (d)   Whenever
the Company shall have one or more paying agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities, it (or any other obligor on such Debt Securities) will, no later
than 11 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum
sufficient to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless any such paying agent is the Trustee)
the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

        (e)   Anything
in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.04 is subject to the
provisions of Section 11.05. 

        Section 4.05.    SEC Reports; Financial Statements    

        (a)   So
long as any of the Debt Securities are Outstanding, the Guarantor (or the Company, if the Guarantor has not guaranteed such Debt Securities) shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports that the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case
may be) is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) is not subject to the requirements of such
Section 13 or 15(d), the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after it would have been required to file the same with the SEC,
financial statements, including any notes thereto (and with respect to annual financial statements, an auditors' report by a firm of established national reputation), and a "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," both comparable to that which the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) would have been required to include in such annual
reports, information, documents or other reports if it had been subject to the requirements of such Section 13 or 15(d). The Company (and each other obligor on any Outstanding Debt Securities)
shall also comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 

        (b)   The
availability of the foregoing information, documents or reports on the SEC's website or the Company's website shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery
obligations. 

        (c)   Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute notice of
any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers' or Guarantor's 

21

 

compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates). 

        (d)   The
Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of any Officer of the Company becoming aware of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

        Section 4.06.    Compliance Certificate.    The Company shall, so long as any of the Debt Securities are
Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers' Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers of the Company with a view to determining whether each obligor on such Debt Securities has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his knowledge each obligor on
such Debt Securities has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions hereof, without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice required by this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of
which such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto). 

        Section 4.07.    Further Instruments and Acts.    The Issuers will, upon request of the Trustee, execute and
deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of this Indenture. 

        Section 4.08.    Existence.    Except as permitted by Article X hereof, each Issuer shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights (charter and statutory) of such Issuer, provided that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company. 

        Section 4.09.    Maintenance of Properties.    So long as any of the Debt Securities are Outstanding, the
Guarantor (or the Company, if the Guarantor has not guaranteed such Debt Securities) shall cause all material properties owned by the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) or any of its
Subsidiaries or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the
management of the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in
the judgment of the management of the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be), desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any such Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders. 

        Section 4.10.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.    So long as any of the Debt Securities are Outstanding,
the Guarantor (or the Company, if the Guarantor has not guaranteed such Debt Securities) shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent,
(i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property
of the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) or any of its Subsidiaries, if failure to pay or discharge the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability
of the 

22

 

Issuers
or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of any series to perform its obligations hereunder and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, would by
law become a Lien upon the property of the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) or any of its Subsidiaries, except for any Lien permitted to be incurred under the terms of this Indenture, if
failure to pay or discharge the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) or any other obligor on the
Debt Securities of any
series to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Guarantor (or the Company, as the case may be) shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any
such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

        Section 4.11.    Waiver of Certain Covenants.    The Issuers, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor may,
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant set forth in this Article IV (except Sections 4.01 through 4.08) or made
applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of each series affected, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant shall remain in full force and
effect. 

        Section 4.12.    Business Activities of Co-Issuer.    The Co-Issuer may not engage in
any business not directly or indirectly related to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Company or its other Subsidiaries. 

 
 

  ARTICLE V
  HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE TRUSTEE    
    

        Section 5.01.    Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Holders; Preservation of
Information.    The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of each series: 

        (a)   not
more than 10 days after each record date with respect to the payment of interest, if any, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the
names and addresses of the Holders as of such record date, and 

        (b)   at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and
contents as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 

provided,
however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 

        The
Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders (i) contained in the most recent list
furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.01 or (ii) received by it in the capacity of paying agent or Registrar (if so acting) hereunder. 

        The
Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

        Section 5.02.    Communications to Holders.    Holders may communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the
TIA with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Debt Securities. The Issuers, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of
Section 312(c) of the TIA. 

23

 

        Section 5.03.    Reports by Trustee.    Within 60 days after each January 31, beginning with the
first January 31 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event on or before April 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a brief report dated as of such
January 31 that complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting
date, no report need be transmitted. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). 

        Reports
pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be transmitted by mail: 

        (a)   to
all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear in the Debt Security Register; and 

        (b)   except
in the cases of reports under Section 313(b)(2) of the TIA, to each Holder of a Debt Security of any series whose name and address appear in the
information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.01. 

        A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Debt Securities of any series are listed. The
Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Debt Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VI
  REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS IN EVENT OF DEFAULT    
    

        Section 6.01.    Events of Default.    If any one or more of the following shall have occurred and be

Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of such Issuer or, if applicable, the
Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the Debt Securities of that series, in any resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of that series of Debt Securities or in this
Indenture with respect to such series (other than a covenant a default in the performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), continuing for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice specifying such failure and requiring such Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors, to remedy the same shall have been given, by
registered or certified mail, to such Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors, by the Trustee or to such Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary
Guarantors, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or 

24

 

        (e)   an
Issuer, or if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors,

to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

        (iii)  consents
to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

        (iv)  makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

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

          (i)  is
for relief against an Issuer, or if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Guarantor or the
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as debtor in an involuntary case, 

         (ii)  appoints
a Custodian of an Issuer, or if any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Guarantor or

or the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, 

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

        (g)   if
any series of Debt Securities Outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any Guarantee
of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Debt Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null and
void in a judicial proceeding or, if applicable, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 

        (h)   any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that series as contemplated by Section 2.03(p); 

then
and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (g), or (h) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs
and is continuing, unless the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare
the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), premium,
if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due
and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of that series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) occurs,
then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or, if any Debt Securities are Original Issue
Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities then Outstanding
hereunder shall ipso facto become and be immediately due 

25

 

and
payable without any declaration of acceleration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. 

        The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any declaration of acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived
except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the declaration of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 

        Section 6.02.    Collection of Debt by Trustee, etc.    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid
or enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities of the affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable). 

        In
case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under any Bankruptcy
Law, or in case a Custodian shall have been appointed for its property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of
any series, its creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of Debt Securities of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount
Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for
reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct) and of the Holders thereof allowed in any such
judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any receiver, assignee or trustee
in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to
such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct. 

        All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any such
Debt Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee
of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to 

26

 

Section 7.06)
shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of all the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken. 

        In
case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law. 

        Section 6.03.    Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.    Any moneys or other property collected by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be applied, in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such
moneys or other property, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities of such series in respect of which moneys or other property has been collected, and the notation thereon of the payment, if
only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

        FIRST:    To
the payment of all money due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06; 

        SECOND:    In
case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the payment of interest on
the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the
overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) specified in the Debt Securities of such series, such payments to be made
ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; 

        THIRD:    In
case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to
the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if
any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt
Securities) specified in the Debt Securities of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series,
then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest, without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if
any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Debt Security of such series over any Debt Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal
and premium, if any, and interest; and 

        FOURTH:    The
remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct. 

        The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall
mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

        Section 6.04.    Limitation on Suits by Holders.    No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any
right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with
respect to Debt Securities of that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the Holders of 

27

 

not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity or security as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security shall have failed to institute any such action or
proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

        Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to
Section 2.17) interest on, such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

        Section 6.05.    Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights Not a Waiver of Default.    All
powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers
and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the
Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. 

        Section 6.06.    Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt Securities to Direct Trustee and to Waive
Default.    The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the
time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any right, trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and that subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be
taken, or if the Trustee shall by a Trust Officer or Officers determine that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders of Debt Securities
of such series not taking part in such direction; and provided, further, however, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the
Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series as provided in Section 6.01, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of that series waive any past
Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities and a Default in
respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantor, each Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt
Securities of that series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 

28

 

 

        Section 6.07.    Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, but May Withhold Such Notice in Certain
Circumstances.    The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Default known to it, or if later, within 30 days after the Trustee obtains
actual knowledge of the Default, with respect to a series of Debt Securities give to the Holders thereof, in the manner provided in Section 13.03, notice of all Defaults with respect to such
series known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt 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 committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof. 

        Section 6.08.    Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits under the Indenture or Against the
Trustee.    All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in
its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken 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 in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, 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 6.08 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten
percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, any Debt Security on or after the due date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VII
  CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE    
    

        Section 7.01.    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.    The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In
case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

        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: 

        (a)   this
paragraph shall not be construed to limit the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 7.01; 

        (b)   prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default with respect to
such series which may have occurred: 

          (i)  the
duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to such series shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; 

29

 

         (ii)  the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; 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; but the Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it pursuant to Sections 4.05 and 4.06 to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirement of this Indenture; 

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

        (iv)  the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of such series. 

        None
of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

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

        Section 7.02.    Certain Rights of Trustee.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 

        (a)   the
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties; 

        (b)   any
request, direction, order or demand of an Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company; 

        (c)   the
Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; 

        (d)   the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders
of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; 

        (e)   the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 

30

 

        (f)    prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter; provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee,
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition
to so proceeding, and the reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; 

        (g)   the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; 

        (h)   if
any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or
bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such Lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of
discharging tax Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon; 

        (i)    the
Trustee shall not be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages; and 

        (j)    the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall
be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by the Trustee to act hereunder. 

        Section 7.03.    Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt Securities.    The recitals contained
herein and in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee's certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the obligors on such Debt Services, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series, except that the Trustee represents
that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Debt Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers
of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 

        Section 7.04.    Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities.    The Trustee or any paying agent
or Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and subject to the provisions of the TIA relating to conflicts of interest and preferential
claims may otherwise deal with the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar. 

        Section 7.05.    Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust.    Subject to the provisions of
Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time to the Company upon an Issuer Request. 

31

 

        Section 7.06.    Compensation and Reimbursement.    The Company covenants and agrees to pay in Dollars to the
Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), including Section 6.02, except any such expense, disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence or
willful misconduct. The Company also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. Each Issuer and the Holders agree that such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities. 

        When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the
services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law. 

        Section 7.07.    Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers' Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically
Prescribed.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered
to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 

        Section 7.08.    Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee.    The Company may, but need not, appoint a separate
Trustee for any one or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee.
The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 

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

        (b)   the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

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

        (d)   the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If
the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint
a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any other reason (the Trustee in 

32

 

such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 7.08. 

        A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to each Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of
Debt Securities of each applicable series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.06. 

        If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of
such series. 

        If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 

        Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee. 

        In
the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto
(i) which shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to which any such
retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (ii) that 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 separate, retiring or successor 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. 

        Section 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger.    If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Issuers and the Holders of the Debt Securities then
Outstanding. 

        In
case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debt Securities
shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

33

 

 

        Section 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification.    The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of
Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recently published annual report of condition. No obligor upon
the Debt Securities of a particular series or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities of such
series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA this Indenture or any
indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of an Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in
Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met. 

        Section 7.11.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.    The Trustee shall comply with
Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a)
of the TIA to the extent indicated therein. 

        Section 7.12.    Compliance with Tax Laws.    The Trustee hereby agrees to comply with all U.S. federal income
tax information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as Trustee,
Registrar, paying agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VIII
  CONCERNING THE HOLDERS    
    

        Section 8.01.    Evidence of Action by Holders.    Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders
of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any
meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may make, (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a
meeting of Holders or (d) in the case of Debt Securities evidenced by a Global Security, by any electronic transmission or other message, whether or not in written format, that complies with
the Depositary's applicable procedures. 

        Section 8.02.    Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt Securities.    Subject to the
provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 13.09, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by the Debt Security Register
or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary. 

        Section 8.03.    Who May Be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities.    Prior to the due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Debt Security, each Issuer, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security
shall be registered upon the Debt Security Register as the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.17) interest on such Debt Security and for all
other purposes, and none of the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors nor the 

34

 

Trustee
nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid
and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt Security. 

        Section 8.04.    Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders; Record Date.    At any time prior to (but
not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any
series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the following paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt
Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.02 (or, in the case of Debt Securities evidenced by a Global Security, by complying with the Depositary's applicable procedures respecting revocation of consents), revoke such action
so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor,
irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon each Issuer, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series. 

        The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Debt Securities entitled to give their consent or take any other action
required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Debt Securities at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders of Debt Securities after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 180 days after such record date unless the consent of
the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall have been received within such 180-day period. 

 
 

  ARTICLE IX
  SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES    
    

        Section 9.01.    Purposes for Which Supplemental Indenture May Be Entered into Without Consent of Holders.
    The Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an Indenture or Indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes: 

        (a)   to
cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any Debt Securities of any series that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in the Debt Securities of such series; 

        (b)   to
evidence the succession pursuant to Article X of another Person to an Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by the Successor Issuer (as defined
in Section 10.01) of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the predecessor Issuer in this Indenture and in the Debt Securities; 

        (c)   to
add the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Debt Securities; 

35

 

        (d)   to
add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities; to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
Issuers, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors; and to add to the covenants of the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such
covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) as the Board of Directors shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of such Debt Securities, and to make the
occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of
all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental Indenture may provide
for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default or
may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities to waive
such default; 

        (e)   to
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder under this Indenture; 

        (f)    to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series and to
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; 

        (g)   to
secure any or all of the Debt Securities; 

        (h)   to
permit the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any
Indenture supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the TIA; and 

        (i)    to
establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03. 

        The
Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any such supplemental Indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

        Any
supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 

        Section 9.02.    Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities.    Without notice to any
Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such
supplemental Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall
conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this 

36

 

Indenture
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt
Security so affected, shall: reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of
interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at
which any Debt Security may or shall be redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to receive any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Holder's Debt Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to such
Holder's Debt Securities; release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities, other than in accordance with this Indenture; make any change in Section 6.06 or
this Section 9.02; or, except as provided in Section 14.04, release the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantors or modify any Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

        A
supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the benefit of one or more particular
series of Debt Securities or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt 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 Debt Securities of any other series. 

        Upon
the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental Indenture unless
such supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental Indenture. 

        It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

        After
an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02. 

        Section 9.03.    Effect of Supplemental Indentures.    Upon the execution of any supplemental Indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

        The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental
Indenture complies with the provisions of this Article IX. 

        Section 9.04.    Debt Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental Indentures.    Debt Securities of
any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation 

37

 

in
form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental Indenture. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by each Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the
Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security of such series shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 

 
 

  ARTICLE X
  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE    
    

        Section 10.01.    Consolidations and Mergers of the Issuers.    Neither of the Issuers shall consolidate with
or merge with or into any Person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets to any Person, whether in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions, unless: (a) either (i) such Issuer shall be the continuing Person in the case of a merger or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than such
Issuer (the "Successor Issuer"), shall be a partnership, limited liability company or corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, except that any Successor Issuer to the Co-Issuer shall be such a corporation for so long as the Company is not organized as a corporation, and the Successor Issuer shall
expressly assume, by an Indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Issuer under this Indenture and the Debt
Securities according to their tenor; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions (and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer
or any Subsidiary of the Successor Issuer as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
Default would occur or be continuing; (c) if such Issuer is not the continuing Person, then each of the Guarantor and any Subsidiary Guarantor, unless it has become the Successor Issuer, shall
confirm that its Guarantee shall continue to apply to the obligations of such Issuer under the Debt Securities and this Indenture; and (d) such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 

        Section 10.02.    Rights and Duties of Successor Issuer.    In case of any consolidation or merger where an
Issuer is not the continuing Person, or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of an Issuer in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor Issuer shall succeed to and be
substituted for such Issuer with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the respective party to this Indenture, and the predecessor entity shall be released from all liabilities and
obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, except that no such release will occur in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its assets. The Successor Issuer thereupon may
cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the predecessor Issuer, any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the
predecessor Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of the Successor Issuer, instead of the predecessor Issuer, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the predecessor Issuer to the
Trustee for authentication, and any Debt Securities which the Successor Issuer thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as
the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

        In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as
may be appropriate.

  ARTICLE XI
  SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF
  INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS    
    

        Section 11.01.    Applicability of Article.    The provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance
of Debt Securities shall be applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 

        Section 11.02.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance.    

        (a)   If
at any time the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any
Debt Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and Debt Securities for whose payment money
has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.05) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in cash sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on such date of Stated Maturity or
redemption date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company (or any other obligor on the Debt Securities
of such series), then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as provided in clause (c) below) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand
of the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture with respect to such series. 

        (b)   Subject
to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Company at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, all of the
obligations of the Company and any other obligor on such series under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series ("legal defeasance
option") or the operation of (x) the covenants in Sections 4.09 and 4.10, (y) any covenant made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.03 and
(z) Section 6.01(d), but only as it relates to any such covenant ("covenant defeasance option"). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, each Guarantee will terminate with
respect to that series of Debt Securities. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 

        If
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (z) of the preceding
paragraph. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 shall
survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive. 

        Section 11.03.    Conditions of Defeasance.    The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its
covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if: 

        (a)   the
Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on,
the Debt Securities of such series to its Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

39

 

 

        (b)   the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal
and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be
sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to its Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

        (c)   91 days
pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to an
Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 

        (d)   no
Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto; 

        (e)   the
deposit does not constitute a default under any agreement (other than this Indenture) binding on an Issuer; 

        (f)    in
the event of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Company has received from the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case of the effect that, and based thereon such
Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 

        (g)   in
the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Debt Securities
of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 

        (h)   the
Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the
Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have been complied with. 

        Before
or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at a future date in accordance with
Article III. 

        Section 11.04.    Application of Trust Money.    The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of the defeased series. Prior to the maturity of such defeased series, the Trustee may, upon receipt
of an Issuer Request, invest such money in U.S. Government Obligations. 

        Section 11.05.    Repayment to Company.    The Trustee and any paying agent shall promptly turn over to the
Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 

        Subject
to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any paying agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium or
interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company or any other obligor on the particular Debt Securities for payment as general
creditors. 

        Section 11.06.    Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.    The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the
Trustee and the Holders against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed 

40

 

against
deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. 

        Section 11.07.    Reinstatement.    If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, each Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and the Debt
Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted
to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.

Guarantors under the Debt Securities, this Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Debt Security, each
Holder shall be deemed to have waived and released all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Debt Securities. 

        Section 13.11.    Severability.    In case any provision in this Indenture or the Debt Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

  ARTICLE XIV
  GUARANTEE    
    

        Section 14.01.    Unconditional Guarantee.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding
any provision of this Article XIV to the contrary, the provisions of this Article XIV relating to the Guarantor or any Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.03, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee
of any of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

43

 

  
        (b)   For value received, the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantee (the "Guarantees") to the Holders and to
the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture (including under
Section 7.06) and the Debt Securities by the Issuers, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, according to the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14.03. 

        (c)   Failing
payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to this Article XII, for whatever reason, the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be
jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of the Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee. Each
of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Debt Securities, the Guarantees (including the Guarantee of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any
Holder of the Debt Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against an Issuer, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any action to enforce the
same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of
acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.04, by the Holders, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce their respective Guarantees without first proceeding against an Issuer or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor. 

        (d)   The
obligations of the Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article XIV shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not
be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Debt Securities or this
Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of an Issuer, the Guarantor, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective estates in
bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the
decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by an Issuer, the Guarantor, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Debt Securities or this
Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Debt Securities,
including all or any part of the rights of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by an Issuer, the
Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Debt Securities or this Indenture or of
the time for performance by an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal
of any thereof, (F) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth
in this Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities,
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of 

44

 

creditors,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective
assets, or the disaffirmance of the Debt Securities, any Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability of the Debt
Securities, any Guarantee or this Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

        (e)   Each
of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the
merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document
evidencing its Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without
notice to it and (C) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. Each of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that
if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of an Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be
deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been
made. 

        (f)    The
Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against each Issuer in respect of any amounts paid
by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that the Guarantor or such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to
receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Debt Securities shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

        Section 14.02.    Execution and Delivery of Notation of Guarantee.    To further evidence its Guarantee set
forth in Section 14.01, each of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an
Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. Each of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in
Section 14.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debt Security a notation relating to the Guarantee. If any Officer of the Guarantor or any
Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on a notation of its Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Debt Security or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of
such Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Debt Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

        The
Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 

        Section 14.03.    Limitation on Liability of the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors.    The Guarantor and
by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of its Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by the 

45

 

Guarantor
pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder of a Debt Security
entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee and the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer under federal or state law. 

        Each
Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of its Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such
parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee and the Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of the Guarantor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor or such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its
Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law. 

        Section 14.04.    Release of Guarantor or Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee.    

        (a)   Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 14.04. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture with respect to a series of Debt Securities, any Guarantee
of such series of Debt Securities incurred by the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Article XIV shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) in the case of a
Subsidiary Guarantor, automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of a sufficient amount
of the Company's direct or indirect partnership or other equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor so that it no longer qualifies hereunder as a Subsidiary of the Company (provided such sale,
exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture), (B) the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company, the Guarantor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and
dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (C) following delivery of a written notice by the Company to the Trustee of the release
or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Debt of an Issuer other than obligations arising under this Indenture and any Debt Securities issued hereunder, except a discharge or
release by or as a result of payment under such guarantees, or (ii) in the case of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor, automatically upon the Company's exercise of its legal defeasance
option or the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Debt Securities, in each case in accordance with Article XI hereof or (iii) in the case of the
Guarantor, automatically upon the merger of the Guarantor into the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation or dissolution of the Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by
this Indenture). 

        (b)   The
Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee upon receipt of an Issuer
Request of the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Guarantor or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is entitled to such release in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture. The Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor not so released shall remain liable for 

46

 

the
full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Debt Securities entitled to the benefits of its Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of
Section 14.03. 

        Section 14.05.    Contribution.    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Guarantor hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made
by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from the Guarantor and each other Subsidiary
Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of the Guarantor and each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor)
for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging each Issuer's obligations with respect to the Debt Securities or any other Subsidiary Guarantor's or the
Guarantor's obligations with respect to its Guarantee.
