of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no
longer Outstanding.

same and the principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the

action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other Act under the Indenture, each Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be deemed to have a principal amount or issue price determined by converting the principal amount or issue price of
such Security in the currency or currencies in which such Security is denominated into U.S. dollars at the Exchange Rate(s) as of 9:00 A.M. New York City time as determined by an Exchange Rate Agent (as evidenced by a certificate of such Exchange
Rate Agent) on the date such Act is delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.04(i). Any such determination by the Company or an Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders and the Trustee for such series, and
neither the Company nor such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith. 

  

	 	(viii)	 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of
Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture, which record date shall be the later of 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of
Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Indenture prior to such solicitation. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those persons, shall be entitled to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such vote or consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 120 days after such record date.

given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee and received at its Corporate Trust Office; or

 Section 1.06 Notices to Securityholders; Waiver. Where this
Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Holders of any series of Securities of any event: 
 (i) Such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein, or in such Security, expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 (ii) Such notice shall
be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland Limited and such stock exchange shall so require, in London and, if the Security of such series are then listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in Luxembourg and, if the Security of such series are
then listed on any other stock exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in any other required city outside the United States or, if not practicable, elsewhere in Europe on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not

 In case by reason of the suspension of regular
mail service in the applicable country or countries or by reason of any other case it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided above. 

In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such
Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of
Registered Securities as provided above. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by
the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Such waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any
Security, where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given when delivered to the
depositary for such Security (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such depositary. 

Section 1.07 Language of Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, or waiver
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication, as may be specified in a form of Security or, in the absence of such
specification, as directed in writing by the Company.

 Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or
Redemption Date of any Security or any date on which any Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid or delivered shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provisions of the Securities or this Indenture)
payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day or such other Business
Day as may be specified in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the appropriate Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or

Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or on the date on which Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid or delivered, as the case may be. 

Section 1.14 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Indenture and the Securities shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum or amount of Maturity Consideration due or payable in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of any series
in a Specified Currency into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the Exchange Rate (as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent) as of 11:00 A.M. New York City time on
the New York Banking Day immediately preceding that on which final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations to make any payment or delivery of principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest on any Security
(i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any 

  
 12 

 
tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, either pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a) above) or otherwise, in any currency other than
the Required Currency except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an
alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering, in the Required Currency, the amount, if any, by which such timely holding shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be then due and
(iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New
York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close. Except as permitted under Section 3.12(iv), if any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the
Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any payment in any currency tendered to or
recovered by such Trustee. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or
delinquency in the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor. The Company hereby waives any defense of payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the
Required Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee, is less than the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. 

Section 1.16 Moneys of Different Currencies to be Segregated. The Trustee shall, to the extent required by law,
segregate all moneys, funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder in one currency from any money, funds or accounts in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision herein which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such moneys,
funds and accounts.

	 	(xxi)	 any additional obligation of the Company to be included as Senior Indebtedness; and

 All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series, if any, shall be
substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 

All Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the obligations of the Company to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company as provided in Article Fourteen. 
 At the option of the Company, interest on the Securities of any series that bear interest may be
paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
 If any of
the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee for such
series at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 

Section 3.02 Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such form and denominations as shall
be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of each series shall be issuable only as Securities without coupons in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and the Bearer Securities of each series, if any, shall be issuable with coupons and in denominations of $10,000 or $50,000. 

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, one of its Vice Chairman or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The
signatures of any or all of these officers on the Securities may be manual, electronic or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of the Company’s Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its
President, a Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Executive Vice Presidents or the Treasurer. 
 Securities
and coupons bearing the manual, electronic or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices
prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities and 

  
 16 

 
such other documents as the Trustee may reasonably request, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of the Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as provided in this Indenture and
not otherwise; provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security may be
delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have delivered to the Trustee, or such other Person as shall be specified in a temporary global Security delivered pursuant to
Section 3.04, a certificate in the form required by Section 3.11(i). 
 In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel complying with
Section 1.02 and stating that, 
  

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

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	 all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity;
and 

  

	 	(iv)	 such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities. 

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication; and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01,
each Bearer Security and any temporary global Security referred to in Section 3.04 shall be dated as of the date of issuance of such Security. 

No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on
such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
stating that such Security has never been issued or sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture, such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.04 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee for such series shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denominations, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of any series which may be issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities may be in
global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein. 
  

  
 17 

 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, each of which shall be exchanged
in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for
that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall
be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such
temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided in such temporary global Security, be delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository (the “Common Depository”), as directed by the Company, for the benefit of
the operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme (“Clearstream”), for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may
direct). Upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate such temporary global Security and make such indication to reflect the initial principal amount, or an increase in the principal amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby. Until such initial authentication, such temporary global Security shall not evidence any obligation of the Company. Such temporary global Security shall at any time represent the aggregate principal amount
of Outstanding Securities theretofore indicated thereon as provided above, subject to reduction to reflect exchanges as described below. 

Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, and subject to the second proviso in the following paragraph, the interest of a
beneficial owner of Securities in a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of such series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the
case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form required by Section 3.11(i), dated no earlier than fifteen days prior the Exchange Date, copies of which
certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such
exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that the Company may charge any Person receiving definitive Securities for the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the
event that such Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 Without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than five Business Days prior to the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security as the Exchange Date (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, or, if the Trustee appoints an Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14, to any such Authenticating Agent, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global
Security, executed by the Company. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, such definitive Securities shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as may be specified by the
Company to the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent, as may be appropriate. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository to the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent, as the
Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge to the Common Depository and the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for each portion of such temporary global Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be
exchanged, which, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, shall be in the form 

  
 18 

 
of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof, in a writing delivered to the Trustee; provided, however, that,
unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to
the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream, as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its
account then to be exchanged, each in the form required by Section 3.11(ii); and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the
conditions set forth in Section 3.03. 
 Upon any exchange of a portion of any such temporary global Security, the Trustee or any such
Authenticating Agent or the Common Depository, as the case may be, shall indicate upon such temporary global Security, the amount of such exchange to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon its remaining principal
amount shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged. Until so exchanged in full, such temporary global Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series
authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest payable on such temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable, without interest, to Euroclear and Clearstream on or after such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, of a
certificate or certificates in the form required by Section 3.11(iii), for credit on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest
Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form required by Section 3.11(iv). 

Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. With respect to Registered Securities, the Company
shall keep or cause to be kept at the office of the Security Registrar designated pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Section 5.02 a register (being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all
Co-Security Registrars and herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
the registration of Securities and the registration of transfers of Securities and the Company shall appoint a Security Registrar, and any Co-Security Registrar as may be appropriate, to keep the Security
Register. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Security Registrar with respect to the series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee. Such Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into
written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such Security Register shall be available for inspection by the Trustee at the office of the Security Registrar. In the event that any Registered Securities
issued hereunder have The City of New York as a Place of Payment, the Company shall appoint either a Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar located in The City of New York. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and Stated Maturity. 
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

Registered Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities. Bearer Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities of other
authorized denominations. 

  
 19 

 At the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured
coupons in default appertaining thereto. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by
payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been
made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Company; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency of a
Paying Agent located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the
close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business
at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be. 

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security
Registrar or the Co-Security Registrar for the Series) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar or the Co-Security Registrar for the series duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

Unless otherwise provided in the Securities to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Securities) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 4.07, or 9.06 not involving any transfer. 
 None of
the Company, the Security Registrar nor any Co-Security Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 4.03 and ending at the close of business on (A) if Securities of the series are issuable only as
Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Securities of such series so selected for redemption, or (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first
publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer or
exchange of any Securities so selected for redemption in whole or in part. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
neither the Trustee nor the Security Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or any substantially
similar federal, state or local law. 
 Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If
(i) any mutilated Security or Security with a mutilated coupon, surrendered to the Trustee or the Security Registrar, or if the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security or coupon, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar such Security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code), the Company shall execute and upon its request

  
 20 

 
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and, if applicable, with
coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining thereto. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or deliver the Maturity Consideration deliverable thereon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and
premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States, and, in the case of interest, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under
this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

Section 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided, as contemplated by
Section 3.01, interest on any Registered Security which is payable or deliverable, and is punctually paid, delivered or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall unless otherwise provided in such Security be paid or delivered to the
Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest; provided, however, that in the case of a Registered Security originally issued between a
Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the date of issue and ending on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid or delivered on the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to such succeeding Interest Payment
Date. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency referred to in
Section 3.05) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment
Date and interest will not be payable or deliverable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable or deliverable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Any interest on any Registered Security which is payable or deliverable, but is not
punctually paid, delivered or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable or deliverable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid or delivered by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or clause (ii) below. 
  

	 	(i)	 The Company may elect to make payment or delivery of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any
such Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment or delivery 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 or 

  
 21 

	 	
delivered on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment or delivery, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money or other
property equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid or delivered 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 or delivery, such money
or other property when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment or delivery of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment or delivery and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment or delivery. 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 or delivery of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment or delivery of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid or delivered to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable or deliverable pursuant to the following clause (ii). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment
for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date of payment
or delivery of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date for payment or delivery and Defaulted Interest will not be payable or deliverable on such proposed date for payment or
delivery in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

 

	 	(ii)	 The Company may make payment or delivery of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities, with respect to which there exists such default, 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 or delivery pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any other Security shall carry the right to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. Title to any Bearer Security, any coupons appertaining thereto and any temporary
global Security in bearer form shall pass by delivery. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Security of any series for registration of transfer
of any Registered Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment or delivery of
principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration in respect of, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security, and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon, as the case may be, as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 22 

 Section 3.09 Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered
for payment, registration of transfer, exchange, repayment, redemption or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered or surrendered
directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired
in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture or such Securities. All canceled Securities or coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to
the Company, if requested by the Company in writing. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.11 Forms of Certification. 
  

	 	(i)	 Whenever any provision of this Indenture or the forms of Securities contemplate that certifications be given by
a Person entitled to receive a Bearer Security, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 

 

	 	(ii)	 Whenever any provision of this Indenture or the forms of Securities contemplate that certification be given by
Euroclear and Clearstream in connection with the exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company.

  

	 	(iii)	 Whenever any provision of the Indenture or the forms of Securities contemplate that certification be given by
Euroclear and Clearstream in connection with payment of interest with respect to a temporary global Security prior to the related Exchange Date, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, with only such
changes as shall be approved by the Company. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Whenever any provision of the Indenture or the forms of securities contemplate that certification be given by a
beneficial owner of a portion of a temporary global Security in connection with payment or delivery of interest in respect to a temporary global Security prior to the related Exchange Date, such certification shall be provided substantially in the
form of Exhibit D hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 

 Section 3.12 Payment in
Currencies. 
  

	 	(i)	 Unless otherwise provided in Section 3.01 hereof, subject to Subsection (ii) hereof, payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration if the Maturity Consideration is to be satisfied by a cash payment, and interest on the Securities of any series, whether or not denominated in a Foreign Currency pursuant to
Section 3.01 shall be made in U.S. dollars. If a series of Securities is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the amount receivable in U.S. dollars by the Holders of such series shall be determined as provided in Section 3.12(iii).

  

	 	(ii)	 If authorized pursuant to Section 3.01, any Holder of a Security of a series of Securities denominated in
a Foreign Currency may elect to receive payments in the Foreign Currency in which such Security is denominated pursuant to Section 3.01. A Holder may make such election by delivering to the Trustee a written notice thereof, in such form as may
be acceptable to the Trustee, not later than the close of business on the Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding the
Maturity of an installment of principal, as the case may be. Such 

  
 23 

	 	
election shall remain in effect with respect to such Holder until such Holder delivers to the Trustee a written notice rescinding such election; provided, however, that any such notice must be
delivered to such Trustee not later than the close of business on the Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be, immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding the Maturity of an
installment of principal, as the case may be, in order to be effective for the payment to be made thereon; and provided, further, that no such rescission may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Security with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article Four. The Trustee will advise the Company in writing of the aggregate amount payable in a Foreign Currency pursuant to an election under this subsection (ii). 

 

	 	(iii)	 For each series of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Exchange Rate Agent shall deliver to the
Company and to the Trustee, by personal delivery, telecopy, or other means reasonably acceptable to such Trustee and the Company, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the date each payment is required to be made
with respect to the Securities of such series, a copy of the Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate relating to each such Foreign Currency. Payments in U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 3.12(i) shall be equal to the sum obtained by converting
the specified Foreign Currency, which is to be paid in U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 3.12(i), at the applicable Exchange Rate or Market Exchange Rate set forth in such Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate. 

 

	 	(iv)	 If the Foreign Currency, other than a composite currency, in which a series of Securities is denominated is not
available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on such series of Securities occurring after the last date on which the Foreign Currency was so used, all payments with respect to the Securities of any such series shall be made in U.S. dollars. If payment is to be made in U.S. dollars to
the Holders of any such series of Securities pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence, then the amount to be paid in U.S. dollars on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee for the series and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to
Holders of Securities of such series shall be determined by an Exchange Rate Agent and shall be equal to the sum obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into U.S. dollars at the applicable Market Exchange Rate set forth in an Exchange
Rate Officer’s Certificate. 

  

	 	(v)	 All decisions and determinations of the Company or an Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Exchange Rate, Market
Exchange Rate or conversion of Foreign Currency into U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 1.04(vii) or this Subsection shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company (in the case of
a determination by an Exchange Rate Agent), the Trustee for the series, any Paying Agent and all Holders of the Securities of such series. If a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency) in which payment of a series of Securities may be
made, pursuant to Subsection (i) above, is not available to the Company for making payments thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company, after learning thereof, will
give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Holders promptly specifying the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such series of Securities. In the event any composite
currency in which a Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established or is not available due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company, after learning thereof, will give notice
thereof to the Trustee and the Holders for such series promptly. In the event of any subsequent change in any Component of any composite currency in which a series of securities is denominated or payable, the Company, after learning thereof, will
give notice to the Trustee and the Holders for the series similarly . The Trustee for such series shall be fully justified and protected in reasonably relying and acting upon the information so received by it from the Company and from any Exchange
Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently. The Company agrees to appoint and maintain an Exchange Rate Agent as is necessary for the performance of the obligations of the Exchange Rate
Agent specified herein. 

  
 24 

 Section 3.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities
may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall not have any responsibility for CUSIP
numbers printed on any Security, notice or elsewhere and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the 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 of any change in the
“CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 4.01 Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, in accordance with this Article Four. 

Section 4.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable
at the option of the Company shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount or amount of Maturity Consideration of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration
of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

Section 4.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to
be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis, by
lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (provided that, in the case of Securities issued in global form such selection shall be based on the method required by the Depositary) and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions of the principal amount or issue price of Securities of such series or a denomination equal to or larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the
Securities of any series the denominations of the Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be, in the case of Registered Securities, equal in value to $100,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, or, in the case of Bearer
Securities, equal to $10,000 or $50,000, and the principal amount of any such Securities which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Security Registrar, if any, in
writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount or Maturity Consideration thereof to be redeemed. 

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

Section 4.04 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his address appearing in the Security Register or, in the Bearer Securities, in the memo provided in Section 1.06. 

  
 25 

 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP
numbers) and shall state: 
  

	 	(i)	 the Redemption Date; 

 

	 	(ii)	 the Redemption Price; 

 

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

  

	 	(iv)	 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
redeemed, and that interest, if any, thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

  

	 	(v)	 the place or places where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all remaining coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and 

  

	 	(vi)	 that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided that the Company has provided the Company Request to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of delivery of the notice of redemption. The notice if
sent 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, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 

Section 4.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 4.06 Securities Payable on Redemption
Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon
surrender of any such Securities for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on
or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest.
Installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the close of business on
the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 
 If any Bearer Security surrendered
for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may required to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of
such Bearer Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted from the
Company; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and
surrender of those coupons. 

  
 26 

 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security. 

Section 4.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder of such Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge to the Holder, a new Security or Securities of
the same series and Stated Maturity of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 

Section 4.08 Redemption Suspended During Event of Default. The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities (unless all
Securities then Outstanding are to be redeemed) or commence the giving of any notice of redemption of Securities during the continuance of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, except that where the giving of notice of redemption of any
Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.04, redeem such Securities, provided funds are deposited with it for such purpose. Subject to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, except as aforesaid, any moneys theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default, be held in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders and applied in the manner set forth in
Section 7.06; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided herein or otherwise cured, such moneys shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article Four. 

ARTICLE V 
 COVENANTS

 Section 5.01 Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, the Maturity Consideration and Interest.
The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or deliver the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest (if any) on the Securities of such series and
any additional amounts described in Section 5.04 in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to
any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable or deliverable only outside the United States upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are
evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Any payment by the Company to a Paying Agent hereunder shall be made in the applicable currency or currencies in which the respective payments are required to be made. 

Section 5.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are issuable only as
Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment or delivered for Maturity Consideration, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If Securities of a series may be issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain an office or agency where any Securities of that
series may be presented or surrendered for payment (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or (B) in Wilmington, Delaware, (C) where any Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served, (D) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional
amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 5.04); provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited or the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so 

  
 27 

 
require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in London or Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so
long as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange, and (E) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for such series located outside the United States an office or agency where any Registered
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and 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
in respect of any series of Securities 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, except that the Bearer
Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 5.04) at the place specified for the
purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands (other than those with respect to the Bearer Securities).
Notwithstanding any other provisions, to the contrary, the Company at its option may make payment of principal, (and premium if any) and interest with respect to Registered Securities by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as
such address appears on the registry books of the Company. 
 No payment or delivery of principal, premium, Maturity Consideration or
interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes specified above in this Section and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation, appointment or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such series of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless and until the Company rescinds such appointment, the Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its Paying Agent in The City of New York
or in The City of Wilmington, Delaware with respect to all series of Securities having a Place of Payment in The City of New York or in The City of Wilmington, Delaware; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be considered an agent of the
Company for service of legal process. 
 Section 5.03 Money or Other Property for Security Payments and
Deliveries to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest
on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum or other property sufficient to pay or deliver the principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest so
becoming due until such sums or other property shall be paid or delivered to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. If the Company chooses to act as its own
Paying Agent, the Company shall notify the Trustee 15 Business Days prior to such action. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more
Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to the opening of business on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
or other property sufficient to pay or deliver the principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest so becoming due, such sum or other property to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and
premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, that such Paying Agent will: 

  
 28 

	 	(i)	 hold all sums or other property held by it for the payment of or delivery of the principal (and premium, if
any), Maturity Consideration or interest on Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums or other property shall be paid or delivered to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

  

	 	(ii)	 give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series)
in the making of any payment or delivery of principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of such series; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
or deliver to the Trustee all sums or other property so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

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

Any money or other property deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment or delivery
of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest in any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest has become due and
payable or deliverable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid or delivered to the Company on Company request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged
from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment or delivery thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money or
other property, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment or delivery, may at the expense of the Company
cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, notice that such money or other property remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money or other property then remaining will be repaid or delivered to the Company. 

Section 5.04 Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional
amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of any series or any coupon appertaining thereto additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect to, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Securities of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of
the payment of additional amounts provided for in this Section 5.04 to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04 and express
mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

If the Securities of a series provided for the payment of additional amounts, at least 15 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with
respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment or delivery of principal (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration is made), and at least 15
days prior to each date of payment or delivery of principal of (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the
Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s Principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment or
delivery of principal of (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for
or on account of any tax, assessment or other 

  
 29 

 
governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any,
required to be withheld on such payments or deliveries to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section 5.04. The Company covenants to
indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted
by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 5.04. 

Section 5.05 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Ten, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, and that of each Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of Securities. 
 Section 5.06
Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order 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 Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.06 shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any
of them if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company or of the Subsidiary concerned, desirable in the conduct to its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders
of Securities. 
 Section 5.07 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge
or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any
Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company 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 and the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect thereto (segregated to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles). 

Section 5.08 Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the first calendar year following the issuance of securities of any series under this Indenture, a brief certificate, which need not comply with Section 1.02, signed by the principal executive
officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, covering the period from the date of issuance of such Securities to the end of the calendar year in which such Securities were issued, in the case of the
first such certificate, and covering the preceding calendar year, in the case of each subsequent certificate, stating, as to each signer thereof, that: 
  

	 	(1)	 a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been
made under his supervision, and 

  

	 	(2)	 to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has complied with all conditions and
covenants on its part contained in this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a Default by the Company in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such Default known to him and the
nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event
known to him and the nature and status thereof. 

  
 30 

 For the purpose of this Section 5.08, compliance shall be determined without regard to
any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 5.09
Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 5.05 to 5.07, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any series if before
the time for such compliance the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount, or if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, 50% of the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act
of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

Section 5.10 Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly
at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific
information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 

Section 5.11 Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as
possible and in any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 

ARTICLE VI 

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY 

Section 6.01 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Trustee shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Security Registrar, the Trustee may request in writing a list from the Company, in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. 

Section 6.02 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders. 

 

	 	(i)	 The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of
Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 6.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities received by the Trustee in its capacity as the Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

 

	 	(ii)	 If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply
in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the
applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or
other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either 

 

	 	(a)	 afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 6.02(i), or 

  

	 	(b)	 inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities,
as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.02(i), and as to the approximate cost of mailing such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if
any, specified in such application. 

  
 31 

	 	(iii)	 If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon
the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Security of such series or all Holders of Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 6.02(i), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the
opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the
basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining
one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Holders of Securities with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise, the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 

 

	 	(iv)	 Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 6.02(ii),
regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 6.02(ii). 

Section 6.03 Reports by Trustee. 
  

	 	(i)	 The term “reporting date”, as used in this Section 6.03, shall be each anniversary of this
Indenture of each year, after the first issuance of Securities of a series for which the Trustee is acting as Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. Within 60 days after the reporting date in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders
of Registered Securities as provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a brief report dated as of such reporting date if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act. 

  

	 	(ii)	 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Company with
each stock exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed and with the Commission. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

Section 6.04 Reports by the Company. The Company shall: 

 

	 	(i)	 file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission,
copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to
file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it
shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to
Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in respect of security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; 

  
 32 

	 	(ii)	 file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time
by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

  

	 	(iii)	 transmit by all to Holders of Securities, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, within
30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.04 as may be required by rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 

 The Trustee shall no duty to review or analyze reports
delivered to it. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not actual or constitute constructive notice or knowledge of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee
shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or on EDGAR or any website under the Indenture, or
to participate in conference calls. All such reports, information or documents referred to in this Section 6.04 that the Company files with the SEC via the SEC’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee and transmitted to
Holders at the time such reports, information or documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor system). 
 ARTICLE VII

Securities, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order
of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture under which such series of
Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series: 
  

	 	(i)	 the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises granting relief in respect of the
Company in an involuntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, adjudging the Company a bankrupt, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, custodian, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of substantially all
of its properties, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs under any such law, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 

 

	 	(ii)	 the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or the consent by the Company to

respective properties, under any such law; or 

  

	 	(iii)	 any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

  
 33 

 Section 7.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities for which there are Securities Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, 25% of the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount or Maturity Consideration of all of the Securities
of such series (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) to be immediately due and payable or deliverable, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable or deliverable. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money or other property due or deliverable has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article Seven provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a
fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if, 

 

	 	(i)	 the Company has paid or deposited with, or delivered to, the Trustee a sum or other property sufficient to pay:

  

	 	(a)	 all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of such series, 

 

	 	(b)	 the principal of (and premium, if any), or Maturity Consideration of any Securities of that series which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, 

 

	 	(c)	 to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the
rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, and 

  

	 	(d)	 all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, the Security Registrar, Co-Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, and their agents and counsel; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 all other Defaults with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of, or non-delivery of the Maturity Consideration of, Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.13. 

 No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 7.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits
for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if, 
  

	 	(i)	 default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest
becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

  

	 	(ii)	 default is made in the payment or delivery of the principal of (or premium, if any on), or the delivery of the
Maturity Consideration of any Security of any series at the Maturity thereof, 

 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay or
deliver to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto, if any, the whole amount or other property then due and payable or deliverable on any such Security or coupon for principal (and premium, if any),
Maturity Consideration and interest, with interest on the overdue principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be lawful) upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 

  
 34 

 If the Company fails to pay or deliver such amounts and/or other consideration forthwith
upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums or other property so due and unpaid or not delivered, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment
or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys or other property adjudged or decreed to be payable or deliverable in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If a Default with respect to any series of Securities occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect
and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 7.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, judgment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal or Maturity Consideration of the Securities shall then be due and payable or deliverable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest) shall be entitled and empowered (but shall have no duty), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

 

	 	(i)	 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and
interest owing and unpaid or undelivered in respect of the Securities of each 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 the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

 

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

 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments or deliveries to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments or deliveries directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in
any such proceeding. 
 Section 7.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under the Securities of any series or coupons (if any) appertaining thereto, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or
coupons appertaining thereto or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of such series and coupons appertaining thereto in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

  
 35 

 Section 7.06 Application of Money or Other Property
Collected. Subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, any money or other property collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article Seven shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee, and, in case of the distribution of such money or other property on account of principal (or premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest upon presentation of the Securities of such series or coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07; 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series and coupons for principal of (and premium if
any), Maturity Consideration and interest, respectively. Subject to 3.12(iv), the Holders of each series of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the amount determined by an Exchange Rate
Agent by converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of Securities in the currency in which such series of Securities is denominated into U.S. dollars at the Exchange Rate (as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent) as of the date of
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Securities (or, if there is no such rate on such date for the reasons specified in Section 3.12(iv), such rate of the date specified in such section); and 

Third: The balance, if any, to the persons entitled thereto. 

Section 7.07 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupons shall
have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

 

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

  

	 	(ii)	 the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity
for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

  

	 	(iii)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

  

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

  

	 	(v)	 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series.
It being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Securities of such series of Holders of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and
for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of such series. The Trustee shall not have an affirmative obligation to determine whether any Holder’s actions are in compliance with the immediately preceding sentence.

 The following events shall be “Defaults” with respect to any series of Securities under this Indenture: 

 

	 	(a)	 an Event of Default with respect to such series specified in Section 7.01; or 

  
 36 

	 	(b)	 default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Securities of such series at its Maturity; or

  

	 	(c)	 default in the delivery or payment of Maturity Consideration when due; or 

 

	 	(d)	 default in the payment of any interest upon any Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due

	 	(e)	 failure on the part of the Company to duly observe or perform any of the other covenants or agreements on its
part in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture and continuance of such failure for a period of sixty days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given by registered mail to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at
Maturity for a fixed principal amount, 25% of the aggregate issue price, of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding; or 

  

	 	(f)	 any other Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series. 

Section 7.08 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal, Premium, Maturity Consideration and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any),
Maturity Consideration and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment or delivery, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 7.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon
has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 7.10 Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 7.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Seven or by law to
the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 7.12 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount,
or if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	 such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 

  
 37 

	 	(ii)	 such direction is not unjustly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of such series not taking part in such
direction; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in good faith, shall
by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustees in personal liability; and 

  

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

 Section 7.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount, or if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series
waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default not theretofore cured: 
  

	 	(i)	 in the payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any
Security of such series, or 

  

	 	(ii)	 in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 

 Upon any such waiver, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 7.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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 7.14 shall
not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount, or if such Securities are
not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities or coupons for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Security or payment of any coupon on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

Section 7.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE TRUSTEE 

Section 8.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  

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

 

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

 

	 	(b)	 in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon 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 on their face they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

 

	 	(ii)	 In case a Default has occurred and is continuing as to a series of Securities as to which it is Trustee, 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 or her own
affairs. 

  

	 	(iii)	 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 Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (i) of this Section 8.01;

  

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

  

	 	(c)	 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount, or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any 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 Securities of such series. 

 

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

  

	 	(v)	 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 Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Article Eight. 

Section 8.02 Notice of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder actually
known by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register notice of such
default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Security of such
series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 7.07(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such
notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 8.02, the term “default” with respect to Securities of any series, means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, a Default or Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

  
 39 

 Section 8.03 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to
the provisions of Section 8.01: 
  

	 	(i)	 the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any

presented by the proper party or parties;

Counsel or both;

at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

  

	 	(vi)	 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, judgment, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further

by agent or attorney; 

  

	 	(vii)	 the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly

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

  

	 	(ix)	 the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities
and this Indenture and states that it is a notice of default or Event of Default; 

  

	 	(x)	 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 to act hereunder; 

  
 40 

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

 

	 	(xii)	 the permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as

	 	(xiv)	 the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations

earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of
civil or military authority or governmental actions; or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility. 

Section 8.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and
in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the use or application of any monies received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 

Section 8.05 May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the
Security Registrar, any Co-Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 8.08 and
8.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Co-Security Registrar or such other agent. 

Section 8.06 Money or Other Property Held in Trust. Subject to Section 1.16, money or other
property held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds or other property except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on
any money or other property received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 

Section 8.07 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 

 

	 	(i)	 to pay to each of the Trustee, any co-Trustee, the Security Registrar,
the Authenticity Agent any Co-Security Registrar and Paying Agent, as the case may be, from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and each of them (as applicable) for
all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provisions of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

 

	 	(ii)	 to pay to or to reimburse each of the Trustee, any co-Trustee, the
Security Registrar, the Authenticity Agent any Co-Security Registrar and any Paying Agent, as the case may be, upon their request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by any
one of them in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to their
negligence or willful misconduct; and 

  
 41 

	 	(iii)	 to indemnify each of the Trustee, any co-Trustee, the Security
Registrar, the Authenticity Agent any Co-Security Registrar and any Paying Agent, and any predecessor of each of them as the case may be, and its officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents for, and to
hold each of them harmless against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of its agents, legal counsel, accountants and experts) and including taxes
(other than taxes based on the income of each of them) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such entity, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder and
including those incurred with respect to enforcement of its right to indemnity hereunder. 

 As security for the
performance of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 8.07, the Company and the Holders agree that the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall have a lien prior to the Securities of all such series upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such. The claims of the Trustee under this Section 8.07 shall not be subject to the provisions of Article Fourteen. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.07 shall survive the resignation and removal of the Trustee, the repayment of any
series of securities and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(ii), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
administrative expenses for purposes of priority under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 8.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or willful misconduct of
any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 8.07. The provisions of this Article Eight (including this Section 8.07) shall, to the extent permitted by law, survive any termination or satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture (including, without limitation, termination pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws) and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

Section 8.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee for the Securities of any series
issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series. 

Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the application referred to in the second to
last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 8.09 Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder which shall at all times be either: 
  

	 	(i)	 a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority; or 

 

	 	(ii)	 a Corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is
permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political
subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. 

  
 42 

 If such Corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation or national banking association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall
serve as trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If at any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Eight. 
 Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor. 
  

	 	(i)	 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article
Eight shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 

 

	 	(ii)	 The Trustee may resign with respect to any series of Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee, required by Section 8.11, shall not have been delivered to the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series. 

 

	 	(iii)	 The Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company at least 30 days prior to the requested date of removal. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series. 

  

	 	(iv)	 If at any time: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series
of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of any series for at least six months; or 

 

	 	(b)	 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.09 with respect to any series of Securities and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of Securities of such series; or 

  

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

 then, in any such case, (1) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or
(2) subject to Section 7.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

  
 43 

	 	(v)	 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those
series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to other Securities of any particular
series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities
shall be appointed by the Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee with respect to such series, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to such series. 

  

	 	(vi)	 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities of such series as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United
States. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  

	 	(i)	 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities, every
such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee or Trustees an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Trustees
shall become effective with respect to all or any series as to which it is resigning as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee or Trustees with respect to all or any such series; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee or Trustees shall upon payment of its charges and all amounts owing under Section 8.07,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of such retiring Trustee or Trustees with respect to all or any such series; and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee or Trustees hereunder with respect to all or any such series. 

  

	 	(ii)	 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but
not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (b) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring 

  
 44 

	 	
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (c) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or
received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the
duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request to the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to
the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

  

	 	(iii)	 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully
and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.11, as the case may be. 

 

	 	(iv)	 No successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to such series under this Article Eight. 

Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation or national banking association shall
be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Eight, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims against Company.
The Trustee shall comply with Section 3.11(a) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to each series of Securities for which it is Trustee. 

Section 8.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities of any series
remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities, which may include any Affiliate of the Company. Such Authenticating Agent or Agents, at the option of the Trustee, shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by a Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication or the delivery of Securities to the Trustee for authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent, a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and delivery of Securities to the Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and

surplus as most recently reported or determined by it sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized and in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and
which is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Authenticating Agent located outside the United States may be
appointed by the Trustee if previously approved in writing by the Company and if such Authenticating Agent has a combined capital and surplus as most recently reported or determined by it sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it
is organized and in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.14. 
 Any corporation or national banking association into
which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation
or national banking association shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 8.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
(and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such termination, or in
case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice
of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.14. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 8.14. 
 The provisions of
Section 3.08, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.07 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

series is made pursuant to this Section 8.14, the Securities of such series covered by such appointment may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication an alternate certificate of authentication in the

of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the Holders thereof by a lawful plan of
reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law), 

  
 52 

	 	(i)	 the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment or delivery in full in
accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness of the principal thereof, premium, if any, other maturity consideration and the interest due thereon (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or delivery upon the principal of or
premium, if any, Maturity Consideration or interest on indebtedness evidenced by the Securities; 

  

	 	(ii)	 any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article Fourteen, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any
other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, in accordance with the priorities then existing among holders of Senior Indebtedness for payment of the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the other maturity consideration (including interest accruing subsequent to the
commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent
necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that if the Holders of Securities shall fail
to file a proper claim in the form required by any proceeding referred to in this subparagraph (ii) prior to thirty days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby
authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf of the Holders of Securities in the form required in any such proceeding; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinate to the payment of the
Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the Holders of such Senior Indebtedness
or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision thereof) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 

 

	 	(b)	 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated

subordination) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and premium, if any,

  
 53 

	 	
Maturity Consideration and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the Securities
would be entitled except for the provisions hereof of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. 

  

	 	(c)	 It is understood that the provisions of this Article Fourteen are intended solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall
(i) impair, as between the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute (and which, subject to the rights under this Article Fourteen of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is
intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement
of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their
terms, (ii) affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, (iii) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this Indenture, or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or
premium, if any, Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of such moneys, if, prior to the second Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have
written notice, in accordance with Section 14.06 hereof, of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice which may be received by it on or after such second Business Day.

  

	 	(d)	 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Fourteen, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fourteen.
In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person or any certification by any such person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a
trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required
with respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Senior Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section,
and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 

 

	 	(e)	 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such
of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee, however,
shall not be deemed to owe 

  
 54 

	 	
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the
Company moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fourteen. 

Section 14.03 Payments on Securities Prohibited During Event of Default Under Senior Indebtedness. In
the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable period of grace, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a result of the payment referred to hereinafter, permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the
maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or delivery of principal of, or premium, Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities, or in
respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities, shall be made by the Company. 

Section 14.04 Reserved. 

Section 14.05 Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Security
by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Fourteen and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

Section 14.06 Notice to Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Fourteen or any other
provisions of the Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the representative of any such holder and
prior to receipt of any such written notice the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such indebtedness or event exists; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least three Business Days
prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal, issue price, accrued original issue discount, redemption price or interest, if any, as
the case may be, in respect of any Security), the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 14.06, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive
such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice
by a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such
holder). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article
Fourteen, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment
or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article Fourteen, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment which it may be required to make for the benefit of such person pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture pending judicial determination as to the rights of such person to receive such payment. 

Section 14.07 Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall be entitled to all of
the rights set forth in this Article Fourteen in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it in its individual capacity to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be
construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

  
 55 

 Section 14.08 Article Fourteen Not to Prevent Defaults or
Events of Default. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this Article Fourteen shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default. 

Section 14.09 Trustee Compensation, Etc. Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article Fourteen shall apply
to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07 or to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01.

EXHIBIT 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INCORPORATED
EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEVERANCE PLAN
1.    Purpose. The purpose of the Quest Diagnostics Incorporated Executive Officer Severance Plan (together with the attached schedules, appendices and exhibits, the “Plan”) is to secure the continued services of the executive officers of the Company and provide these executives with certain termination benefits in the event of a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 2) and to ensure their continued dedication to their duties in the event of any threat or occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 2).

2.    Definitions. As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

(a)    “Annual Performance Bonus” means the annual cash bonus awarded under the Company’s applicable incentive plans, as in effect from time to time (as of the date of adoption of this Plan the “Bonus” within the meaning of Section 5(a) of the Company’s Senior Management Incentive Plan, effective as of May 13, 2003 and under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan such plans referred to herein as the “Company Incentive Plan”).

(b)    “Base Salary” means the Participant’s annual rate of base salary as in effect on the Date of Termination, provided, however, that Base Salary for the Termination Period shall mean the Participant’s highest annual rate of base salary during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the Participant’s Date of Termination.

(c)    “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company and, after a Change in Control, the “board of directors” of the surviving corporation. References herein to the Board include any committee or person to whom the Board has designated its authority.

(d)    “Bonus Amount” means the Participant’s target Annual Performance Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs, provided, however, that if the Participant’s Qualifying Termination is on account of Good Reason pursuant to a reduction in a Participant’s compensation or compensation opportunity under Section 2(k)(ii), “Bonus Amount” shall be the Participant’s target Annual Performance Bonus for the prior fiscal year if higher.

(e)    “Cause” means (i) the willful and continued failure of the Participant to perform substantially his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such failure subsequent to the Participant being delivered a notice of termination without Cause by the Company or delivering a notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by or on behalf of the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Participant has not substantially performed his duties, (ii) the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or its affiliates, (iii) the engaging by the Participant in conduct or misconduct that materially harms the reputation or financial position of the Company, (iv) the Participant (x) obstructs or impedes, (y) endeavors to influence, obstruct or impede or (z) fails to materially cooperate with, an Investigation, (v) the commission of a felony by the Participant or (vi) the Participant is found liable in any Securities and Exchange Commission or other civil or criminal securities law action.

For purposes of this paragraph (e), no act or failure to act by the Participant shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by the Participant in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or its affiliates. Any act, or failure to act, in accordance with authority duly given by the Board, based upon the advice of counsel for the Company (including counsel employed by the Company) shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.
A Participant who is designated on Schedule A (and, after a Change in Control, a Participant who is designated on Schedule B) shall not be considered to have been terminated for Cause unless and until the Company has delivered to the Participant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by 
1

    

three-quarters (3/4) of the entire Board (excluding the Participant from both the numerator and denominator if the Participant is a Board member) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Participant and an opportunity for the Participant, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board an event set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) has occurred and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, following a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company for Cause based upon the conviction of the Participant for a felony, such conviction is overturned in a final determination on appeal, the Participant shall be entitled to the payments and the economic equivalent of the benefits the Participant would have received if his employment had been terminated by the Company without Cause.
(f)    “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following events:

(i)any person is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d 3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 40% of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities generally eligible to vote for the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”), provided, however, that any of the following acquisitions shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control: (1) by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, (2) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, (3) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (4) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (ii));

(ii)the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination:

(A)more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Corporation”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 95% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Corporation”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination,

(B)no person (other than any employee benefit plan (or any related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) representing 40% of the total voting power of the securities then outstanding generally eligible to vote for the election of directors of the Parent Corporation (or the Surviving Corporation), and

(C)at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination;

(Any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above 
shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”);

(iii)individuals who, on the effective date of this Plan, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the effective date of this Plan, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; or
2

    

(iv)the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity that is not an affiliate of the Company (other than pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 40% of Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

(g)    “Company” means Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, a Delaware corporation.

(h)    “Date of Termination” means (i) the effective date on which the Participant’s employment by the Company terminates as specified in a prior written notice by the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, to the other, delivered pursuant to Section 12 or (ii) if the Participant’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of death, the date of death of the Participant.

(i)    “Disability” shall have the same meaning ascribed to that term in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(j)    “Equity Incentive Compensation” means all equity-based compensation (including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance shares) awarded under the Company’s incentive plan(s), as in effect from time to time (as of the date of adoption of this Plan the Amended and Restated Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan).

(k)    “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances, without the Participant’s express written consent, and which circumstance(s) are not remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written notice from the Participant describing in reasonable detail the Good Reason event that has occurred (which notice must be provided within ninety (90) days of the Participant’s obtaining knowledge of the event):

(i)    (A) any material change in the duties, responsibilities or status (including reporting
responsibilities) of the Participant that is inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with the Participant’s position(s), duties, responsibilities or authority with the Company immediately prior to such Change in Control (including any material and adverse diminution of such duties or responsibilities); provided, however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to occur upon a change in duties, responsibilities (other than reporting responsibilities) or status that is solely and directly a result of the Company no longer being a publicly traded entity and does not involve any other event set forth in this Section 2(k) or (B) a material and adverse change in the Participant’s titles or offices (including, if applicable, membership on the Board) with the Company as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control;

(ii)    a material reduction by the Company in the Participant’s aggregate rate of annual base salary, Annual Performance Bonus opportunity and Equity Incentive Compensation target opportunity (including any material and adverse change in the formula for such targets) as in effect immediately prior to such Change in Control;

(iii)    the Company’s requiring the Participant to be based at any office or location more than fifty (50) miles from the office where the Participant is located at the time of the Change in Control and as a result causing the Participant’s commute from his residence at the time of the Change in Control to the new location to increase by more than fifty (50) miles;

(iv)    the failure of the Company to continue in effect any employee benefit plan, compensation plan, welfare benefit plan or fringe benefit plan in which the Participant is participating immediately prior to such Change in Control or the taking of any action by the Company, in each case which would materially adversely affect the Participant, unless the Participant is permitted to participate in other plans providing the Participant with materially equivalent benefits in the aggregate (at materially equivalent or lower cost with respect to welfare benefit plans); or

3

    

(v)    the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the Company’s obligations hereunder from any successor as contemplated in Section 11(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action taken in good faith and which is remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant shall not constitute Good Reason. The Participant’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Participant’s incapacities due to mental or physical illness and the Participant’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any event or condition constituting Good Reason. The Participant may terminate his employment for a “Good Reason” event that is not reasonably remedied by the Company provided that the Participant shall have delivered a notice of termination within ninety (90) days after delivery of the notice describing the Good Reason event giving rise to such termination.
(l)    “Investigation” means an investigation authorized by the Board, a self-regulatory organization empowered with self-regulatory responsibilities under federal or state laws or a governmental department or agency.

(m)    “Participant” means an executive officer of the Company selected, from time to time, by the Board for participation in this Plan and who is designated on Schedule A or B at the applicable time but only if such executive has completed at least one year of continuous employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries at the applicable time (unless such one year employment requirement has been waived in writing by the Board).

(n)    “Potential Change in Control” means the execution or entering into of any agreement by the Company the consummation of which can be expected to be a Change in Control.

(o)    “Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company that occurs on or after January 1, 2008 (i) prior to a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause and (ii) after a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason. Termination of the Participant’s employment on account of death, Disability or Retirement shall not be treated as a Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the death of the Participant after notice of termination for Good Reason or without Cause has been validly provided shall be deemed to be a Qualifying Termination.

(p)    “Retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment on or after he or she attains age 60 with five (5) years of service.

(q)    “Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting power of the then outstanding securities or interests of such corporation or other entity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or members of any similar governing body) or in which the Company has the right to receive 50% or more of the distribution of profits or 50% of the assets or liquidation or dissolution.

(r)    “Termination Period” means the period of time beginning with a Change in Control and ending two (2) years following such Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if (i) the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control for reasons that would have constituted a Qualifying Termination if they had occurred following a Change in Control; (ii) the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination (or Good Reason event) was at the request of a third party who had indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control; and (iii) a Change in Control involving such third party (or a party competing with such third party to effectuate a Change in Control) does occur within six (6) months from the date of such termination, then for purposes of this Plan, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment or event constituting Good Reason shall be treated as a Change in Control. For purposes of determining the timing of payments and benefits to the Participant under Section 5, the date of the actual Change in Control shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination under Section 2(h), and for purposes of determining the amount of payments and benefits owed to the Participant under Section 5, the date the Participant’s employment is actually terminated shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination under Section 2(h).
3.    Eligibility. (a)  The Board shall determine in its sole discretion which executives of the Company shall be Participants in this Plan and whether a Participant shall be designated on Schedule A or B.

4

    

(b)        The Board may, in its sole discretion, remove any executive from Schedule A and add such executive to Schedule B but may not remove any executive from participation in this Plan entirely; provided, that a Participant who is designated on Schedule A as of immediately prior to a Change in Control may not be removed from such Schedule without his or her prior written consent within the two year period following a Change in Control.

(c)        The Board may delegate its authority to determine which senior executives of the Company shall be Participants in this Plan, to designate the Participants on Schedule A or B and to remove a Participant from Schedule A to the Compensation Committee (or any successor committee) of the Board.

4.    Payments Upon Termination of Employment Prior to a Change in Control. If the
employment of the Participant is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, then, subject to the     Participant’s execution of a Separation Agreement and Release in the form attached to this Plan as Exhibit A (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) which shall be provided to the Participant no later than two (2) days after the Date of Termination and must be executed by the Participant, become effective and not be revoked by the Participant by the fifty-fifth (55th) day following the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide to the Participant:

(a)    A cash payment equal to the Participant’s Base Salary multiplied by either (i) 2.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule A or (ii) 1.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule B;

(b)    A cash payment equal to the Bonus Amount times (i) 2.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule A or (ii) 1.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule B;

(c)    For eighteen (18) months for a Participant designated on Schedule A or (ii) twelve (12) months for a Participant designated on Schedule B, following the Date of Termination, group medical and life insurance coverage to the Participant (and his eligible dependents), under the terms prevailing at the time immediately preceding the Date of Termination; the Company shall continue to provide such coverage on the same terms as provided by the Company to similarly situated executives; provided, that the Company shall cease to provide such coverage if the Participant obtains alternate employment and is eligible for substantially comparable group medical or life insurance coverage with such employer; provided further, that the Participant shall notify the Company within 10 days of securing such alternate employment; provided further, that in the event of the disability of the Participant, group medical coverage shall continue for a longer period consistent with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) and, provided, further, to the extent that any plan does not permit continuation of the Participant’s or his eligible dependents’ participation throughout such period, the Company shall pay the Participant an amount, on an after-tax basis, equal to the Company’s cost of providing such benefits;

(d)    For one (1) year following the Date of Termination, the Participant will be entitled to receive executive outplacement assistance from Lee Hecht Harrison or an equivalent career placement firm at the Company’s expense and in accordance with the Company’s policies for similarly situated executives; and

(e)    A cash payment equal to any matching contributions made by the Company on behalf of the Participant to the Company’s 401(k) plan and the Company’s Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan during the year preceding the Date of Termination.

The cash payments specified in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 4 shall be paid no later than the sixtieth (60th) day (or the next following business day if the sixtieth day is not a business day) following the Date of Termination, but may be made earlier provided that the Separation Agreement has been executed by the Participant and the revocation period thereunder has lapsed. Each such cash payment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
5.    Payments Upon Termination of Employment After a Change in Control. If during the Termination Period the employment of the Participant is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination, then, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Separation Agreement and Release which shall be provided to the Participant no later than two (2) days after the Date of Termination and must be 
5

    

executed by the Participant, become effective and not be revoked by the Participant by the fifty-fifth (55th) day following the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide to the Participant:

(a)    A cash payment equal to the result of multiplying the sum of the Participant’s Base Salary plus the Participant’s Bonus Amount by (i) either 3.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule A or (ii) 2.00 for a Participant designated on Schedule B; and

(b)    A cash payment equal to the Participant’s target Annual Performance Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of days the Participant was employed by the Company during the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurred and the denominator of which is 365;

(c)    The benefits and payments specified in paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of Section 4.

(d)    The provisions of Appendix A shall apply if a Participant listed on Schedule A or Schedule B is subject to the Excise Tax, as defined in Appendix A.

The cash payments specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5 shall be paid no later than the sixtieth (60th) day (or the next following business day if the sixtieth day is not a business day) following the Date of Termination, but may be made earlier provided that the Separation Agreement has been executed by the Participant and the revocation period thereunder has lapsed. Each such cash payment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
6.    Key Employees. It is the intent of the Company that no payments or benefits provided under this Plan shall be considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Plan shall be interpreted accordingly. If and to the extent that any payment or benefit is determined by the Company (a) to constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, (b) such payment or benefit is provided to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as determined pursuant to procedures established by the Company) and (c) such payment or benefit must be delayed for six months from the Participant’s Date of Termination (or an earlier date) in order to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and not cause the Participant to incur any additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will delay making any such payment or providing such benefit until the expiration of such six month period. The Company shall set aside those payments that would have been made but for payment delay required by the preceding sentence in a trust that is in compliance with Rev. Proc. 92‐64 which may, but need not be, the trust established under the Company’s Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan; provided, however, that no payment will be made to the Rabbi Trust if it would be contrary to law or cause the Participant to incur additional tax under Section 409A.

7.    Participant’s Obligations. The Participant agrees that:

(a)    Without the consent of the Company, the Participant will not terminate employment with the Company without giving 30 days prior notice to the Company, and during such 30‐day period the Participant will assist the Company, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, to effect an orderly transition of the Participant’s duties and responsibilities with the Company.

(b)    In the event that the Participant has received any benefits from the Company under Section 4 of this Agreement, then, during the period of 36 months following the Date of Termination, the Participant, upon request by the Company:

(i)    Will consult with one or more of the executive officers concerning the business and affairs of the Company for not to exceed four hours in any month at times and places selected by the Participant as being convenient to him or her, all without compensation other than what is provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement; and

(ii)    Will testify as a witness on behalf of the Company in any legal proceedings involving the Company which arise out of events or circumstances that occurred or existed prior to the Date of Termination (except for any such proceedings relating to this Plan), without compensation other than what is provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement; provided, that all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Participant in connection with serving as a witness shall be paid by the Company.

6

    

The Participant shall not be required to perform the Participant’s obligations under this Section 7 if and so long as the Company is in default with respect to performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
8.    Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from all payments due to the Participant (or his beneficiary or estate) hereunder all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, the Company is required to withhold therefrom.

9.    Reimbursement of Expenses. Following a Change in Control, if any contest or dispute shall arise under this Plan involving termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or involving the failure or refusal of the Company to perform fully in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Participant on a current basis for all reasonable legal fees and related expenses, if any, incurred by the Participant in connection with such contest or dispute (regardless of the result thereof), together with interest in an amount equal to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, but in no event higher than the maximum legal rate permissible under applicable law, such interest to accrue thirty (30) days from the date the Company receives the Participant’s statement for such fees and expenses through the date of payment thereof, regardless of whether or not the Participant’s claim is upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration panel; provided, however, that the Participant shall be required to repay immediately any such amounts to the Company to the extent that a court or an arbitration panel issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth the determination that the position taken by the Participant was frivolous or advanced by the Participant in bad faith.

10.    No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to entitle the Participant to continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

11.    Successors; Binding Agreement. (a)  This Plan shall not be terminated by any Business Combination. In the event of any Business Combination, the provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon the Surviving Corporation, and such Surviving Corporation shall be treated as the Company hereunder.

(b)    The Company agrees that in connection with any Business Combination, it will cause any successor entity to the Company unconditionally to assume all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such Business Combination that constitutes a Change in Control, shall be a breach of this Plan and shall constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall entitle the Participant to compensation and other benefits from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Participant would be entitled hereunder if the Participant’s employment were terminated following a Change in Control by reason of a Qualifying Termination. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such Business Combination becomes effective shall be deemed the date Good Reason occurs, and shall be the Date of Termination if requested by a Participant.

(c)    The benefits provided under this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Participant shall die while any amounts would be payable to the Participant hereunder had the Participant continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to such person or persons appointed in writing by the Participant to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Participant’s estate.

12.    Notice. (a)  For purposes of this Plan, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

If to the Participant: the address listed as the Participant’s address in the Company’s personnel files.
If to the Company:

Quest Diagnostics Incorporated
1290 Wall Street West
Lyndhurst, NJ 07071
Attention: General Counsel
7

    

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
(b)    A written notice of the Participant’s Date of Termination by the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, to the other, shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Plan relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Participant’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the date of termination, which date shall be not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice; provided, however, that the Company may in its sole discretion accelerate such date to an earlier date or, alternatively, place the Participant on paid leave during such period. The failure by the Participant or the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Participant or the Company hereunder or preclude the Participant or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Participant’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

13.    Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes and Costs. (a)  The Company’s obligation to make any payments provided for in this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall be in lieu and in full settlement of all other severance payments to the Participant under any other severance or employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, and any severance plan of the Company. In no event shall the Participant be obligated to seek other employment or take other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Participant under any of the provisions of this Plan and, except as provided in the Separation Agreement and Release, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Participant obtains other employment.

(b)    Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Plan shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in New Jersey by three arbitrators in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. One arbitrator shall be selected by the Company, the other by the Participant and the third jointly by these arbitrators (or if they are unable to agree within thirty (30) days of the commencement of arbitration the third arbitrator will be appointed by the AAA). Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction. In the event of any such dispute or controversy arising during a Termination Period, the Company shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any arbitration proceeding on the same terms as set forth in Section 9 of this Plan.

14.    Employment with Subsidiaries. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Plan shall include employment with any Subsidiary.

15.    Survival. The respective obligations and benefits afforded to the Company and the Participant as provided in Sections 4 (to the extent that payments or benefits are owed as a result of a termination of employment that occurs during the term of this Plan) 5, 6, 8(c) and 10 shall survive the termination of this Plan.

16.    GOVERNING LAW; VALIDITY. THE INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS. THE INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS PLAN SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS PLAN, WHICH OTHER PROVISIONS SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

17.    Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that (i) Sections 3(b), 4(a) and 4(b) may not be amended in a manner which is materially adverse to any Participant then listed on Schedule A or B without such Participant's written consent, (ii) during the period commencing on a Change in Control and ending on the second anniversary of the Change in Control, the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits) may not be amended or terminated by the Board in any manner which is materially adverse to any Participant then listed on Schedule A or B without such Participant's written consent and (iii) any termination or amendments to the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits) that are materially adverse to the interests of any Participant then listed on Schedule A or B, and that occur during the period of time beginning on a date three (3) months prior to a Potential Change 
8

    

in Control and ending on the termination of the agreement that constituted the Potential Change in Control, shall be void unless consented to in writing by the affected Participant.

18.    Interpretation and Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate any of its powers under the Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board (or any successor committee). With respect to those Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Committee may delegate any of its powers under the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board, the Compensation Committee (or any successor committee) and the Chief Executive Officer (to the extent of the powers delegated to him) shall have the authority in its sole and absolute discretion to: (i) exercise all of the powers granted to it under this Plan; (ii) construe, interpret and implement this Plan; (iii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, including rules and regulations governing its own operations; (iv) make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering this Plan; (v) correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan; and (vi) amend this Plan to reflect changes in or interpretations of applicable law, rules or regulations. The determination of the Board on all matters relating to the Plan and any amounts payable thereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties; provided, however, that following a Change in Control, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any court, tribunal or arbitration panel that adjudicates any dispute, controversy or claim arising between a Participant and the Company, or any of their delegates or successors, in respect of a Participant’s Qualifying Termination, will apply a de novo standard of review to any determinations made by such person and such de novo standard shall apply notwithstanding the grant of full discretion hereunder to any such person or characterization of any such decision by such person as final, binding or conclusive on any party.

19.    Claims and Appeals. Participants may submit claims for benefits by giving notice to the Company pursuant to Section 12 of this Plan. If a Participant believes that he or she has not received coverage or benefits to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, the Participant may notify the Board in writing of a claim for coverage or benefits. If the claim for coverage or benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Board shall notify the applicant in writing of such denial within thirty (30) days (which may be extended to sixty (60) days under special circumstances), with such notice setting forth: (i) the specific reasons for the denial; (ii) the Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; (iii) any additional material or information necessary for the applicant to perfect his or her claim; and (iv) the procedures for requesting a review of the denial. Upon a denial of a claim by the Board, the Participant may: (i) request a review of the denial by the Board or, where review authority has been so delegated, by such other person or entity as may be designated by the Board for this purpose; (ii) review any Policy documents relevant to his or her claim; and (iii) submit issues and comments to the Board or its delegate that are relevant to the review. Any request for review must be made in writing and received by the Board or its delegate within sixty (60) days of the date the applicant received notice of the initial denial, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. The Board or its delegate will make a written ruling on the applicant’s request for review setting forth the reasons for the decision and the Plan provisions upon which the denial, if appropriate, is based. This written ruling shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date the Board or its delegate receives the applicant’s request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review. All extensions of time permitted by this Section 16 will be permitted at the sole discretion of the Board or its delegate. If the Board does not provide the Participant with written notice of the denial of his or her appeal, the Participant’s claim shall be deemed denied.

20.    Type of Policy. This Plan is intended to be, and shall be interpreted as an unfunded employee welfare plan under Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and Section 2520.104‐24 of the Department of Labor Regulations, maintained primarily for the purpose of providing employee welfare benefits, to the extent that it provides welfare benefits, and under Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, as a plan that is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation, to the extent that it provides such compensation, in each case for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

21.    No Duplication of Benefits. Except as otherwise expressly provided pursuant to this Plan, this Plan shall be construed and administered in a manner which avoids duplication of compensation and benefits which may be provided under any other plan, program, policy, or other arrangement. In the event a Participant is covered by any other plan, program, policy, individually negotiated agreement or other arrangement, in effect as of his or her Date of Termination, that may duplicate the payments provided in Sections 4 or 5, as applicable, the Company is specifically empowered to reduce or eliminate the duplicative benefits provided for under the Plan. In taking such action, the 
9

    

Company will be guided by the principles that (1) such a Participant will otherwise be treated, for the purpose of the Sections specified above, no more or no less favorably than are other Participants who are not covered by such other plan, program, policy, individually negotiated agreement or other arrangement and (2) the provisions of such other plan, program, policy, individually negotiated agreement or other arrangement (including, but not limited to, a special individual pension, a special deferral account and/or a special equity based grant) which are not duplicative of the payments provided in Sections 4 or 5, as applicable, will not be considered in determining elimination and/or reductions in Plan benefits.

22.    Nonassignability. Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned by the Participant. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be binding on the successors and assigns of the Company.

23.    Effective Date. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall be effective as of May 10, 2012.

Appendix A
Cutback to 280G Safe Harbor Cap in Certain Circumstances -
Schedule A and Schedule B Participants
(a) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that (i) any payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company (or any of its affiliated entities) or any entity which effectuates a Change in Control (or any of its affiliated entities) to or for the benefit of the Participant (whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise) (the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (such excise tax, the “Excise Tax”), and (ii) the reduction of the amounts payable to the Participant under this Plan to the maximum amount that could be paid to the Participant without giving rise to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”) would provide the Participant with a greater after-tax amount than if such amounts were not reduced, then the amounts payable to the Participant under this Plan shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Safe Harbor Cap. The reduction of the Payments, if applicable, shall be made by reducing the payments and benefits under the following sections of this Plan in the following order: (i) Section 5(a), (ii) Section 5(b) and (iii) Section 5(c) (in the order set forth in such Section 5(c)). For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, only amounts payable under this Plan (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amounts payable hereunder would not result in a greater after tax result to the Participant, no amounts payable under this Plan shall be reduced pursuant to this provision.
(b) All determinations required to be made under this Appendix A shall be made by a public accounting firm that is retained by the Company as of the date immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or the Participant that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company (collectively, the “Determination”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Accounting Firm may use the Option Redetermination Amount (as defined in paragraph (c), below) in determining the reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Board shall determine prior to the Change in Control that the Accounting Firm is precluded from performing such services under applicable auditor independence rules or (ii) the Audit Committee of the Board determines that it does not want the Accounting Firm to perform such services because of auditor independence concerns or (iii) the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the person(s) effecting the Change in Control, the Board shall appoint another nationally recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company, and the Company shall enter into any agreement reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by a Participant, it shall furnish the Participant with a written opinion to such effect, and to the effect that failure to report the Excise Tax, if any, on the Participant’s applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. In the event the Accounting Firm determines that the Payments shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap, it shall furnish the Participant with a written opinion to such effect. The Determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination, it is possible that Payments will have been made to, or provided for the benefit of, a Participant by the Company, which are in excess of the limitations provided in Paragraph (a) (hereinafter referred to as an “Overpayment”), such Overpayment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to the Participant made on the date the Participant received the Overpayment and the Participant shall repay the Overpayment to the Company on demand, together with interest on the Overpayment at the applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the Participant’s receipt of such Overpayment until the date of such repayment. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination, it is possible that Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made to a Participant (an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made under this Appendix A. In the event that it is determined (i) by the Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS or (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to such Underpayment to the Participant within ten (10) days of such determination together with interest on such amount at the applicable federal rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Participant until the date of payment. The Participant shall cooperate, to the extent his or her expenses are reimbursed by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in connection with any contests or disputes with the IRS in connection with the Excise Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that amounts payable under this Plan were
App. A-1

    

reduced pursuant to Paragraph (a) and the value of stock options is subsequently redetermined by the Accounting Firm within the context of Treasury Regulation §1.280G-1 Q/A 33 that reduces the value of the Payments attributable to such options (the “Option Redetermination Amount”), the Company shall pay to the Participant (on the first business day of the calendar year following the year the Option Redetermination is made) any cash payments payable under this Plan that were not previously paid solely as a result of Paragraph (a) up to the Safe Harbor Cap, plus interest from the date such amount would have been paid to the participant until the date of payment at the 3 month Treasury Bill rate.

App. A-2

    

Exhibit A
FORM OF SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE
(HEREIN “AGREEMENT”)
Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (the “Company”) and _______________ (“Executive”) agree as follows:
1.Executive’s employment with the Company will terminate effective [Date].

2.
