This EARNINGS BONUS UNIT AWARD is granted in Dallas County,
Texas by Exxon Mobil Corporation (the "Corporation") effective
November 26, 2019 (the "date of grant"), pursuant to the Short Term
Incentive Program adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on
October 27, 1993, as amended (the "Program"). This award is subject
to the provisions of this instrument and the Program and to such regulations
and requirements as may be stipulated from time to time by the administrative
authority defined in the Program and is granted on the condition that Grantee
accepts such provisions, regulations, and requirements. This instrument
incorporates by reference the provisions of the Program, as it may be amended
from time to time, including without limitation the definitions of terms used
in this instrument and defined in the Program.

1. Award. The Corporation has granted to Grantee the number
of earnings bonus units ("EBUs") set forth above, with each EBU
having the maximum settlement value set forth above. Subject to the other terms
of this award, Grantee has the right, for each of these EBUs, to receive from
the Corporation, promptly after the settlement date defined below, an amount of
cash equal to the Corporation's cumulative earnings per common share (assuming
dilution) as reflected in its quarterly earnings statements as initially filed
in its quarterly or annual reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission commencing with earnings for the first full quarter following the
date of grant to and including the last full quarter preceding the settlement
date; provided, however, that the amount of such settlement will not exceed the
maximum settlement value specified above.

2. Settlement Date. The settlement date of these EBUs will
be the earlier of (i) the date of publication of the Corporation's quarterly
earnings statement for the twelfth (12th) full quarter following the date of
grant, or (ii) the date of publication of the Corporation's quarterly earnings
statement which brings the cumulative earnings per common share (assuming
dilution) as initially filed in its quarterly or annual reports with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission commencing with the first full quarter
following the date of grant to an amount at least equal to the maximum
settlement value per EBU specified above.

3. Annulment. This award is provisional until the
Corporation actually pays cash in settlement of the award.

(a) If, before the
Corporation pays such cash, Grantee terminates (other than by death) before
standard retirement time within the meaning of the Program, this award will
automatically expire as of the date of termination, except to the extent the
administrative authority determines Grantee may retain this award.

(b) If, before the
Corporation pays such cash, Grantee is determined to have engaged in
detrimental activity within the meaning of the Program, this award will
automatically expire as of the date of such determination.

(c) Provisional
awards held by executive officers may also be subject to cancellation to comply
with applicable law or Corporation policy including, without limitation, any
clawback obligations determined to be owed by Grantee to the Corporation in
connection with this or other awards.

4. Adjustments. The number of EBUs covered by this award
and the meaning of the term "common share" will be adjusted by the
administrative authority as it deems appropriate to give effect to any stock
split, stock dividend or other relevant change in capitalization of the Corporation
after the date of grant and prior to the settlement date.

5. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This award
and the Program are governed by the laws of the State of New York without
regard to any conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to
this award or the Program may be resolved in any state or federal court located
within Dallas County, Texas, U.S.A. This award is issued on the condition that
Grantee accepts such venue and submits to the personal jurisdiction of any such
court. Similarly, the Corporation accepts such venue and submits to such jurisdiction.

 

                                                                                                                 EXXON MOBIL CORPORATIONEXHIBIT 10(iii)(f.3)

[Name of Non-Employee Director]

 

 

I am pleased to inform you that on January 2, 2020, you were
granted 2,500 shares of restricted stock under Exxon Mobil Corporation's 2004
Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") and in accordance
with the Board's standing resolution regarding grants under the Plan. This
letter summarizes key terms of your award and is qualified by reference to the
Plan. You should refer to the text of the Plan for a detailed description of
the terms and conditions of your award. Copies of the Plan have been previously
distributed to you and are also available on request to me at any time.

   

The restricted stock has been registered in your name and will be
held in book-entry form by the Corporation's agent during the restricted
period. As the owner of record, you have the right to vote the shares and
receive cash dividends. However, during the restricted period the shares may
not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of or
encumbered, and your restricted stock account will be subject to stop transfer
instructions. When the restricted period expires, shares will be delivered to
or for your account free of restrictions. 

 

The restricted period for this award began at the time of grant. The
restricted period will expire when you leave the Board after reaching
retirement age (currently, age 72) or by reason of death. If you leave the
Board before reaching retirement age, your restricted stock will be forfeited
unless the Board determines to lift the restrictions at that time. By accepting
this award, you agree to all its terms and conditions, including the
restrictions on transfer and events of forfeiture.

 

You are entitled to designate a beneficiary for your restricted
stock account. Please contact Cindy Kessel Guild at (972) 940-6708 for the
necessary form should you wish to do so. Additional information concerning your
award, including information on the tax consequences of your award and certain
additional information required by the Securities Act of 1933, is also enclosed
with this letter.

 

Should you have any questions concerning the Plan or this award,
please feel free to contact me at (972) 940-6716.

 

                                                                                                                Sincerely,

      electronic means in accordance with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other applicable procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, DTC shall be deemed to constitute the “Act” of the Holder of such Global Security, and such
      Act shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and the Trustee upon the delivery by DTC of an “agent’s message” or other notice of such consent or other action having been so given, made or taken in accordance with the applicable
      procedures of DTC.

     

    

    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other
      officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such Person the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than the
      signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
      also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

    The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of commencement of such Person’s holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

     

    

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

      

    

    Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal
      amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

     

    

    The Company may set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization,
      direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. With regard to any record date set pursuant to
      this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain
      Holders after such record date.

    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed

                    the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made in writing and actually received by the Trustee at its office at                     , or at any other address previously furnished
                      in writing by the Trustee, or

                    the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company, addressed to it at 4300
                      Six Forks Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver

     

      

    Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
      prepaid (if international mail, by air mail), to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the
      giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
      Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

      

    

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

     

    

    
      8

      
        

    

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

     

    

    Where this Indenture provides for notice or other communication with respect to any event to a Holder of a Global Security, such notice or other communication shall be sufficiently given if given to
      the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its applicable procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice or other communication.

     

    

    Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents

     

      

    The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

      and the Securities by the Trustee shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     

    

    Section 110. Separability Clause

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 111. Benefits of Indenture

     

      

    Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or
      equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     

    

    Section 112. Governing Law

     

      

    This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the state of New York without reference to its principles of conflict of laws (other than Section
      5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

     

    

    Section 113. Legal Holidays

     

      

    In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
      Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such
      Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

    Section 114. Language of Notices, Etc.

     

      

    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act 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.

     

    

    Section 115. Interest Limitation

     

      

    It is the intention of the Company to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof. Accordingly, if the transactions
      contemplated hereby would be usurious under any applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Securities or this Indenture, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes
      interest under applicable law with respect to a Security shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such
      Security shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any Security is accelerated or in the event of any redemption of such Security, then such
      consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such
      Security shall be paid in full, refunded to the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable law. All calculations made to compute the rate of interest with respect to a Security for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum
      amount allowed by applicable law shall be made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of such Security all interest any time contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or
      received by such Holder or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Holder in connection therewith so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of the Security does not exceed the maximum amount or rate
      of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than that permitted
      prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references in this Indenture or any Security to “applicable law” when used in the context of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer
      to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest.

     

    

    The right to accelerate maturity of any Security does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued to the date of such acceleration, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the continuing accrual after acceleration of interest in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Security.

     

    

    Section 116. No Personal Liability of Officers, Directors, Employees or Shareholders

     

      

    Obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities hereunder are payable only out of cash flow and assets of the Company. The Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance
      thereof, will be deemed to have agreed in this Indenture that no director, officer, employee, or shareholder, as such, of the Company, the Trustee, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in respect of the
      obligations of the Company under this Indenture or such Securities by reason of his, her or its status. The agreements set forth in this Section are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

     

    

    Section 117. Applicability of Depositary

     

      

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, so long as a series of Securities is a Global Security, the parties hereto will be bound at all times by the applicable procedures of the
      Depositary with respect to such series, and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge, at any time, of the identity of the beneficial owners of the Securities unless it shall have been provided with a list of the beneficial owners by the
      Depository as of such time.

    The parties may execute any number of counterparts of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto.  Each executed copy hereof or thereof shall be an original, but all of such copies
      together shall represent one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies hereof or thereof and of signature pages hereto or thereto by facsimile or electronic format (e.g., .pdf or .tif) transmission shall constitute effective execution and
      delivery as to the respective parties hereto or thereto, and may be used in lieu of the original such document for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto or thereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic format (e.g., .pdf or .tif) shall be
      deemed to be original signatures for all purposes.

    The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more
      indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such

      therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board
      Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by an authorized officer or other authorized Person on behalf of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by
      Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form by the Trustee, such acceptance to be evidenced by the Trustee’s authentication of
      Securities in that form.

     

    

    The Definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as

    FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor thereto under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
      [     ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [     ] United States Dollars [state other currency] on [     ] [if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—, and to pay interest thereon from [     ], or from the most recent
      Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on [     ] and [     ] in each year, commencing [     ], at the rate of [     ] % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment
      [if applicable, insert—, and at the rate of [     ] % per annum on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of interest]. [If applicable, insert—The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of
      twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the days elapsed in any partial month. In the event that any date on which
      interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay)
      with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. A “Business Day” shall mean, when used with respect to any Place of Payment, each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which
      banking institutions in that Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law, executive order or regulation to close.] The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such
      Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the [     ] or [     ] (whether or not a Business
      Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in
      whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of
      Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
      Securities of this series may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in such Indenture].

     

    

    [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—The principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration,
      upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this Security shall bear interest at the rate of [     ]% per annum, which shall accrue from the date of such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has
      been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on demand. Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of [     ]% per annum, which shall accrue from the
      date of such demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for, and such interest shall also be payable on demand.]

     

    

    [If a Global Security, insert—Payment of the principal of [(and premium, if any)] and [if applicable, insert-any such] interest on this Security will be made by transfer of immediately available
      funds to a bank account in [     ] designated by the Holder in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [state other currency].]

     

    

    [If a Definitive Security, insert—Payment of the principal of [(and premium, if any)] and [if applicable, insert—any such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the
      Company maintained for that purpose in [     ], [in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts] [state other currency] [or subject to any laws or regulations
      applicable thereto and to the right of the Company (as provided in the Indenture) to rescind the designation of any such Paying Agent, at the [main] offices of [     ] in [     ] and [     ] in [     ], or at such other offices or agencies as the
      Company may designate, by [United States Dollar] [state other currency] check drawn on, or transfer to a [United States Dollar] account maintained by the payee with, a bank in [     ] (so long as the applicable Paying Agent has received proper
      transfer instructions in writing at least [     ] days prior to the payment date)] [if applicable, insert—; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at
      the option of the Company by [United States Dollar] [state other currency] check mailed to the addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear in the Security Register] [or by transfer to a [United States Dollar] [state other
      currency] account maintained by the payee with a bank in [     ] [state other Place of Payment] (so long as the applicable Paying Agent has received proper transfer instructions in writing by the Record Date prior to the applicable Interest Payment
      Date)].]

      (the “Indenture”), between the Company and [TRUSTEE], as Trustee (together with any successor trustee under the Indenture, the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
      respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As
      provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject
      to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This
      Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable, insert—, limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $ [     ]].

     

    

    [If applicable, insert—The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, [if applicable, insert—(1) on in any year commencing with
      the year [     ] and ending with the year [     ] through operation of the sinking fund for this series at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, and (2)] at any time [if applicable, insert—on or after [     ]], as a whole or in

      principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, the Trustee shall have been offered indemnity reasonably
      satisfactory to it, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute
      any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or [any premium

      subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and to the right of the Company (limited as provided in the Indenture) to rescind the designation of any such transfer agent, at the [main] offices of [     ] in [     ] and in [     ] or at such
      other offices or agencies as the Company may designate]], duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly
      authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.]

     

    

    The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S. $ [state other currency] and any integral multiple in excess thereof. As provided in the
      Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
      the Holder surrendering the same.

      liability in respect of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture or such Securities by reason of his, her or its status.

     

    

    The Indenture contains provisions that relieve the Company from the obligation to comply with certain restrictive covenants in the Indenture and for satisfaction and discharge at any time of the
      entire indebtedness upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

     

    

    This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.

    Section 204. Global Securities

     

      

    Every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

     

    

    THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
      TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY SECURITY

    If Securities of a series are issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding Section 301(9) and Section 302, any
      Global Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
      aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as the case may be, to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any reduction or increase in the
      amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in a Company Order. Subject to the provisions of Sections 303, 304 and 305, the
      Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. Any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery
      or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in a Company Order (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel).

    

    The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Global Security if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to
      the Trustee the Global Security together with a Company Order (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction or increase, as the case may be, in the principal amount of
      Securities represented thereby.

                      other than that in which the Securities of that series are payable), the index, any replacement indices, the manner in which such indices shall be selected and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

                    any other terms of the Securities of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 901(3)).

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate
      referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

     

    

    Any such Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate referred to above with respect to Securities of any series filed with the Trustee on or before the initial issuance of the Securities of such series
      shall be incorporated herein by reference with respect to Securities of such series and shall thereafter be deemed to be a part of the Indenture for all purposes relating to Securities of such series as fully as if such Board Resolution or Officers’
      Certificate were set forth herein in full.

     

    

    All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for increases in the aggregate
      principal amount of such series of Securities and issuances of additional Securities of such series or for the establishment of additional terms with respect to the Securities of such series.

     

    

    If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by an authorized officer or
      other authorized Person on behalf of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or Company Order setting forth, or providing the manner for determining, the terms of the series.

     

    

    
      19

      
        

    

    With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, such Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate may provide general terms for Securities of such series and provide either that
      the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Company Order, or that such terms shall be determined by the Company, or one or more of the Company’s agents designated in an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with
      a Company Order.

     

    

    Section 302. Denominations

     

      

    The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such
      specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple in excess thereof.

     

    

    Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

     

      

    The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, a Vice President, the Chief
      Financial Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer, the Controller, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and need not be attested. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be
      manual or facsimile.

     

    

    Securities bearing the manual 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 executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
      together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however,
      that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic
      instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, thereafter promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first
      authentication of Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and
      accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant
      to Section 102, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    if the form (or the manner of determining the form) of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of
                      this Indenture;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been,
                      or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any
                      conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel;

                  

          

           

          

          
            20

            
              

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
                      of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to
                      general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such series Outstanding; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(4)	
                such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;

              

      

    

     

    

    or, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities created by an indenture supplemental hereto, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent to the execution of the
      supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been complied with, the Company has the power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary action for those purposes and any such supplemental
      indenture has been executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
      laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity).

     

    

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

     

    

    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 102, 301 and the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the
      Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant thereto at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series, so long as such documents are
      delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

     

    

    With respect to Securities of a series not to be originally issued all at one time, the Trustee may rely upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301
      and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series and any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon their original issuance shall constitute
      a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

     

    

    Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     

    

    No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the
      form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
      hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 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 309 for all purposes of this Indenture, such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     

    

    Section 304. Temporary Securities

     

      

    Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of the documents required by Sections 102, 201, 301 and 303, as applicable, together with a
      Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Securities
      of like series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

     

    

    If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause Definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Securities
      of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section
      1002 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such 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 one or more Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 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 and tenor.

     

    

    
      21

      
        

    

    Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

     

      

    The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein
      sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Company hereby appoints
      the Trustee as the initial security registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided (the registrar responsible for so registering Securities and transfers thereof being herein sometimes referred to
      as the “Security Registrar”). The Company may at any time replace such Security Registrar, change such office or agency or act as its own Security Registrar. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change of the
      Security Registrar or of the location of such office or agency. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be available for inspection by the Trustee.

     

    

    Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 1002 for such purpose, 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 tenor.

     

    

    At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
      principal amount and tenor, 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 Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     

    

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

     

    

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

     

    

    No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
      may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

     

    

    Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a
      period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (2) to
      register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (3) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security between a Regular
      Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

     

    

    
      22

      
        

    

    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for
      Securities registered in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, except as provided in this paragraph. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon
      registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a Global Security, except as provided in this paragraph. If (1) (A) the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
      continue as Depositary for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
      with respect to the Securities of such series and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue certificated securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Securities of such series (in which case the Company shall
      deliver certificated securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines in its sole discretion that Securities of a series issued in global form shall no longer be represented by a Global Security, then such Global Security may
      be exchanged by such Depositary for Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security or portion thereof
      may be registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct.

     

    

    Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

     

      

    If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them and any agent of either of them
      harmless, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

     

    

    If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (2) such security or indemnity as may be required
      by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the
      Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. If, after the delivery of
      such new Security, a bona fide purchaser of the original Security in lieu of which such new Security was issued presents for payment or registration such original Security, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Security from the party to
      whom it was delivered or any party taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Company and the
      Trustee in connection therewith.

     

    

    In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
      Security (and, for clarity, Article XI shall not apply to such payment).

     

    

    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 issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
      shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture
      equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

     

    

    The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
      Securities.

     

    

    Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

     

      

    Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
      Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

     

    

    
      23

      
        

    

    Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
      cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record
                      Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and
                      the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
                      satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
                      Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
                      the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment
                      of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior
                      to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of
                      such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(2)	
                The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Securities
                  may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by
                  the Trustee.

              

      

    

     

    

    Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, 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 rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

     

    

    For each series of Securities, the Company shall, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or such later time of day to which the Trustee may agree) on each payment date for principal and premium,
      if any, and interest, if any, deposit with the Trustee money in immediately available funds sufficient to make cash payments due on the applicable payment date.

     

    

    Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners

     

      

    Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
      any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) any
      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.

     

    

    No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may
      be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any
      responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
      interests.

     

    

    
      24

      
        

    

    Section 309. Cancellation

     

      

    In order for any Securities to be surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment such Security must be delivered to the
      Trustee and 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 may
      deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, 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. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in
      accordance with its customary procedures, and the Trustee shall thereafter, from time to time upon written request, deliver to the Company a certificate with respect to such disposition.

     

    

    Section 310. Computation of Interest

     

      

    Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
      months and interest on the Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any partial month.

     

    

    Section 311. CUSIP Numbers

     

      

    The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (in addition to the other identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of
      redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP 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 CUSIP numbers. The Company
      will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

    SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     

    

    Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

     

      

    This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such
      Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities, when

      any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

    Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

     

      

    If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in principal
      amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified
      in the terms thereof) all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount)
      shall become immediately due and payable.

     

    

    At any time after such declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
      as hereinafter in this Article provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (C)

                  	
                    to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (D)

                  	
                    all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    

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

    Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee

     

      

    The Company covenants that if

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(2)	
                default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

              

      

    

     

    

    then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to
      the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
      amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section
      607.

     

    

    If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the
      sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
      by law out of the property of the Company, or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

     

      

    In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company, or any other obligor upon the Securities, their property or their creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
      in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and
      receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any Custodian, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
      payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 607.

     

    

    No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
      composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee
      may, on behalf of Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

     

    

    Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities

     

      

    All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any
      proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
      expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607, be for the ratable benefit of Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     

    

    
      28

      
        

    

    Section 506. Application of Money Collected

     

      

    Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
      distribution of such money or property on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     

    

    FIRST: to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;

     

    

    SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
      collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 507. Limitation on Suits

     

      

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

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in compliance with such
                      request;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (4)

                  	
                    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer and, if requested, provision of such security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest

        

      

    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and
      (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
      rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     

    

    
      29

      
        

    

    Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative

     

      

    Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred
      upon or reserved to the Trustee or to 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 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 512. Control by Holders

     

      

    Subject to the provisions of Sections 507 and 603, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
      place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(3)	
                subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
                  liability or would otherwise be contrary to applicable law.

              

      

    

     

    

    Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults

     

      

    Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with
      respect to such series and its consequences, except

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    a continuing default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(2)	
                a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

              

      

    

     

    

    
      30

      
        

    

    Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall
      extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    

    Section 514. Undertaking for Costs

     

      

    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, a court may require any
      party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
        however, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Trustee or the Company, in any suit instituted
      by any Holder (or group of Holders) holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or in any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
      principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity expressed by such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date).

     

    

    ARTICLE VI

    THE TRUSTEE

     

    

    Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities

     

      

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

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

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

                  

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
           

           

          

        

      

    

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

     

    

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

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of clause (a) above;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
                      facts;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders or a majority in principal amount 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 the Securities of such series; and

                    (4)

                  	
                    no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
                      of any of its rights or powers.

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    

    Section 602. Notice of Defaults

     

      

    Subject to the following paragraph, if a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall, within 90 days after it occurs, transmit, in the manner and
      to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of all uncured or unwaived Defaults known to it; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in payment on the
      Securities of any series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that
      withholding such notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, further, however, that, in the case of any Default specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the Securities of
      such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof.

     

    

    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default, except a Default under Sections 501(1) or 501(2) herein, unless the Trustee shall have received from the
      Company or from any Holder written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Securities in this Indenture. In the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default exists.

     

    

    Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee

     

      

    Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
                      bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (or in the case of a Periodic Offering, as agreed in
                      procedures set forth in a Company Order pursuant to Section 303) and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
                      (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (4)

                  	
                    the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
                      omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (5)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such
                      Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

                  

          

           

          

          
            32

            
              

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (6)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
                      order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may, without obligation to do so, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
                      may see fit; and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no
                      liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (7)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (8)

                  	
                    the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
                      this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (9)

                  	
                    the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
                      capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and

                  

          

        

      

    

    
      
        

        

        
          
            	 	
                    (10)

                  	
                    in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit) irrespective of whether
                      the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

                  

          

        

      

    

     

    

    Section 604. 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 the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
      assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent makes any 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.

     

    

    Section 605. May Hold Securities

     

      

    The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any 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 Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

     

    

    Section 606. Money Held in Trust

     

      

    Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received
      by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

     

    

    Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement

        

      

    The Company agrees:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee in writing (which compensation shall
                      not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

                  

          

           

          

          
            33

            
              

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
                      reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(3)	
                to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
                  administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (and the
                  reasonable fees and disbursements of its agents, attorneys, accountants and experts and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)).  The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any
                  claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced thereby.  Upon the election
                  of the Company, the Company will have the right to assume the defense of the claim, and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel at its own expense, but if the Trustee has been reasonably advised
                  by counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest or may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and in the reasonable judgment of such
                  counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, then the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not
                  be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company have the right, without the Trustee’s consent, to settle any such claim if such settlement (i) arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or
                  proceeding, (ii) contains a stipulation to, confession of judgment with respect to, or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Trustee, (iii) provides for injunctive relief, or other relief other
                  than monetary damages, or (iv) does not contain an unconditional release of the Trustee from all liability on all claims that are the subject matter of the related dispute or proceeding.

              

      

    

     

    

    The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
      hereunder.

     

    

    The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by it as such for any amount owing to it pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds
      held in trust for the benefit of the Holders.

     

    

    Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or
      Section 501(5), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

     

    

    The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Securities and the resignation or removal of the
      Trustee.

     

    

    Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests

     

      

    If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner
      provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

     

    

    
      34

      
        

    

    Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility

     

      

    There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, at least one of which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act
      to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus required by the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the
      purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
      in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

     

    

    Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

     

      

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

     

    

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

     

    

    The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to
      the Trustee and to the Company. 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 removed Trustee may petition any court of competent
      jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     

    

    If at any time:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(3)	
                the Trustee shall become incapable of acting 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, (A) the Company, acting pursuant to the authority of a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide
      Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor
      Trustee or Trustees.

     

    

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

     

    

    
      35

      
        

    

    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 to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate

    Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

     

      

    (a)          In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
      Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
      become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee, and all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
      payment of its charges and subject to any claim provided for in Section 607, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer
      and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

    

     

    

    (b)         In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
      Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) 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, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
      respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) 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 as co-trustees of the same trust and that each
      such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal
      of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
      with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, but, on request of the Company, or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and subject to any
      claim provided for in Section 607, duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
      successor Trustee relates.

     

    

    
      36

      
        

    

    (c)         Upon the reasonable 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 clause (a) or (b) above.

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company

     

      

    If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, or any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
      collection of claims against the Company or any such other obligor.

     

    

    Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent

     

      

    The Trustee (upon notice to the Company) may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
      authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue (in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Trustee) and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so
      authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
      Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf
      of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
      District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent
      publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed
      to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
      shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

     

    

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

     

    

    
      37

      
        

    

    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 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 a 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. 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.

     

    

    Except with respect to an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Company, the Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation (for which the
      Company shall not be responsible) for its services under this Section.

     

    

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

     

    

    This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                    (1)

                  	
                    semi-annually, not later than each Interest Payment Date in each year (or, if interest is payable quarterly, then quarterly, not later than every second Interest Payment Date in each year), a list for each series of Securities, in
                      such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of such series as of the preceding Regular Record Date, and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(2)	
                at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is
                  furnished;

              

      

    

     

      

    provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar for Securities of a series, no such list need be furnished with respect to such series of
      Securities.

    The rights of the Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee,
      shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.

     

    

    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 any
      disclosure of information as to the names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

     

    

    Section 703. Reports by Trustee

     

      

    As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a
      brief report dated as of May 15 that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a). The Trustee shall also comply with Trust Indenture Act Section313(b). Prior to delivery to the Holders, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a copy of any
      report it delivers to Holders pursuant to this Section 703; provided, however, that no recourse may be taken against the Trustee for its failure to deliver a copy of
      such report to the Company prior to its delivery of the report to the Holders.

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 704. Reports by Company

      regulations.

                    (1)

                  	
                    the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale, conveyance or transfer or other disposition, or which leases, all or substantially all
                      of such properties and assets shall be a Corporation, shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture
                      supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on all the Securities and the performance or observance of
                      every other covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

                    if, as a result of any such consolidation or merger or such conveyance, transfer or lease, such properties or assets would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other
                      encumbrance which would not be permitted by this Indenture, the Company or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or prior
                      to) all indebtedness secured thereby and such encumbrances shall be deemed to be permitted by this Indenture; and

      and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 801, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may
      exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all
      obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may liquidate and dissolve.

    Section 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders

     

      

    With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Company and
      the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture, or modifying in any manner the rights of Holders
      of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided that the Company and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest, if any, on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or premium, if any, on or the rate of
                      interest thereon, or adversely affect any right to convert or exchange any Security into any other security, or alter the method of computation of interest, or make any Security payable in money other than that stated in such
                      Security;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    reduce the percentage in principal amount of Securities required for any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver provided for in this Indenture;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    change the Company’s obligation to maintain an office or agency for payment of Securities and the other matters specified herein;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (4)

                  	
                    impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security; or

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(5)	
                modify any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the execution of supplemental indentures with the consent of Holders of Securities which are discussed in this Section or modify any provisions relating to the waiver by
                  Holders of Securities of past defaults and covenants, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
                  Security affected thereby.

              

      

    

     

    

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

     

    

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

    Section 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures

     

      

    In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee
      shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
      Indenture. The Trustee shall enter into any supplemental indenture which does not adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
      supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     

    

    Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures

     

      

    Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for
      all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

     

    

    Section 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act

     

      

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

     

    

    Section 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures

     

      

    Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
      approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental
      indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. Failure to make a notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of
      any amendment, supplement or waiver.

     

    

    ARTICLE X

    COVENANTS

     

    

    Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

     

      

    The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in
      accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

     

    

    Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency

     

      

    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, 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 any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
      presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     

    

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

     

    

    
      42

      
        

    

    Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the
      Corporate Trust Office, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as the Paying Agent, as the Company’s office or agency for each such purpose.

     

    

    With respect to any Global Security, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 301, the Corporate Trust Office shall be the Place of Payment where
      such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of
      Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     

    

    Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust

     

      

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

     

    

    Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that
      series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
      so to act.

     

    

    The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
      Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the
      Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of
      any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and (3) during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by
      such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

     

    

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

     

    

    Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
      after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company pursuant to a Company Request and the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
      as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the state whose escheat laws control for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof,
      shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized
      Newspaper, notice that such money 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 then remaining will be paid to the state whose
      escheat laws control.

     

    

    
      43

      
        

    

    Section 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default; Change in Fiscal Year

     

      

    The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 150 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best
      knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if
      the Company shall be in default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

     

    

    The Company will notify the Trustee of any change in the Company’s Fiscal Year.

     

    

    Section 1005. Waiver of Certain Covenants

     

      

    The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1002 through 1004 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time
      for such compliance Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all affected series (voting as one class) 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 and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    

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

     

    

    ARTICLE XI

    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     

    

    Section 1101. 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 301 for
      Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

     

    

    Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

     

      

    The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series,
      the Company shall, not less than 35 nor more than 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, of the principal amount of
      Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (1) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
      Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (2) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
      compliance with such restriction or condition.

     

    

    Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed

     

      

    If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor 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 that complies with any
      securities exchange or other applicable requirements for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple in excess thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such
      series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

     

    

    
      44

      
        

    

    The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to
      be redeemed.

     

    

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

     

    

    Section 1104. Notice of Redemption

     

      

    Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail (if international mail, by air mail), postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each
      Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register, provided that notice of redemption may be mailed more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date in the case of a
      Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or a discharge pursuant to Article IV.

     

    

    All notices of redemption shall state:

     

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (1)

                  	
                    the Redemption Date,

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (2)

                  	
                    the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price is not determinable prior to the giving of such notice, the method for calculating the Redemption Price,

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

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

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (4)

                  	
                    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, interest
                      on such Security will cease to accrue on and after said date,

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (5)

                  	
                    the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(6)	
                that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

              

      

    

     

    

    Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, by the
      Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

     

    

    Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price

     

      

    On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Redemption Date (or such later time of day to which the Trustee may agree), the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent
      (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
      accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee shall not be required to make any such deposit in the event that the Company fails to do so. The contemplated redemption shall be conditioned on the deposit by
      the Company of the required moneys thereby.  The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any money held by them that has been deposited pursuant to this Section in excess of the amounts required
      to pay such Redemption Price.

     

    

    
      45

      
        

    

    Section 1106. 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 and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such
      Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
      installments of interest 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 at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
      according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

     

    

    If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate
      prescribed therefor in the Security.

     

    

    Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part

     

      

    Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at 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 thereof or its 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 such Holder, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
      portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

     

    

    ARTICLE XII

    SINKING FUNDS

     

    

    Section 1201. Applicability of Article

      series.

     

    

    The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of
      such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
      subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

     

    

    Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities

     

      

    The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption), and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either
      at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking
      fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not
      been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
      payment shall be reduced accordingly.

    Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund

     

      

    Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
      Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
      is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not been previously so credited, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities
      to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption
      thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105,
      1106 and 1107.

                      U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
                      recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and premium, if any, on all Securities of such series on each date that

                    the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel based on the fact that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B)
                      since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain
                      or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, Defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if
                      such deposit, Defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (3)

                  	
                    if the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to
                      this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (4)

                  	
                    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than any Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Debt the proceeds of which
                      are to be applied to such deposit, and the granting of any liens in connection therewith);

                    such Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act);

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        
          
            	 	
                    (6)

                  	
                    such Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

                    such Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall
                      be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

                  

          

           

          

        

      

    

    
      
        	

              	(8)	
                the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied with.

              

      

    

     

    

    For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company and any other obligor upon the Securities of such series shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire debt represented by the
      Securities of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1304 and the rights and obligations referred to in clause (i) through (vii), inclusive, of the first paragraph of this Section, and to
      have satisfied all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the Securities of such series are concerned.

     

    

    Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance

     

      

    The Company and any other obligor shall be released on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in clause (1) below from its obligations under Section 704 and Article VIII with respect
      to the Securities of any series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any request,
      demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver, consent or declaration or other action or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes
      hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Securities of such series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
      Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Section or by reason of any reference in such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute
      a Default or an Event of Default under Section 501, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby.  The following shall be the conditions to Covenant Defeasance:

                      dedicated solely to, the benefit of Holders of the Securities of such series (A) cash in an amount, or (B) in the case of any series of Securities the payments on which may only be made in legal coin or currency of the United States,
                      U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
                      recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and premium, if any, on all Securities of such series on each date that
                      such principal, interest or premium, if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption Date established pursuant to clause (3) below, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
                      accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such series;

                      as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not
                      occurred;

    Section 1304. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities

     

      

    Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all moneys or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 (and all funds earned on such
      moneys or U.S. Government Obligations) shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to Holders of the particular Securities of such series
      for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
      law.

     

    

    Section 1305. Repayment to Company

     

      

    The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any money and U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that have been deposited pursuant
      to Section 1302 or 1303, which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amounts required to effect the Defeasance or Covenant
      Defeasance with respect to the Outstanding Securities in question.

     

    

    
      49

      
        

    

    The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any
      series of Securities for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303.

     

    

    Section 1306. Reinstatement

     

      

    If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U. S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
      of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no
      deposit had occurred pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U. S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article; provided,
        however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of Holders of such Securities to
      receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
