those persons upon whom the responsibilities of the successful administration and management of the Company, and its Subsidiaries, rest, and whose present and potential contributions to the welfare of the Company are of importance, can acquire and
maintain stock ownership, or awards the value of which is tied to the performance of the Company, thereby strengthening their concern for the welfare of the Company. A further purpose of the Plan is to provide such employees, directors and

	 	(a)	 Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee except to the extent the Board elects to administer the Plan, in which case
references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to include references to the “Board” (provided that only a committee comprised solely of two or more directors, each of whom is an “outside director” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.162-27, may take action with respect to any Section 162(m) Award (unless the Company determines that it is no longer necessary or appropriate for such Award to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code)). Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, Rule 16b-3 and other applicable laws, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to:

  

	 	(i)	 determine the Eligible Persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards will be granted, including the date of grant of an Award, which may be a
designated date after but not before the date of the Committee’s action; 

  

	 	(ii)	 determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to an Eligible Person and the amount of cash and/or the number of shares of Stock that shall be the
subject of each Award; 

  

	 	(iii)	 determine the terms and conditions of any Award (which need not be identical), consistent with the terms of the Plan; 

 

	 	(iv)	 modify, waive or adjust any term or condition of an Award that has been granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof; 

 

	 	(v)	 interpret and administer the Plan and any Award Agreement or other instrument relating to an Award made under the Plan; 

 

	 	(vi)	 establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and

  

	 	(vii)	 make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.

 Subject to Rule 16b-3 and section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission,
or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in any Award, or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary or desirable to carry the Plan into effect, and the Committee shall be the sole and final judge of that necessity
or desirability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not

 
have any discretion to waive or modify (A) any term or condition of any Section 162(m) Award if such discretion would cause the Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” (unless the Company determines that it is no longer necessary or appropriate for such Award to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code) or (B) the terms of
payment of any Award that provides for a deferral of compensation under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules if such waiver or modification would subject a Participant to additional taxes under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules.

  

	 	(b)	 Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the vote of a majority of the
members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the Committee shall constitute action by the Committee. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company,
its Subsidiaries, stockholders, Participants or other persons claiming rights from or through a Participant. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting
any power or authority of the Committee. 

  

	 	(c)	 Delegation. Subject to Section 3(e), the Board may delegate different levels of authority to different committees with administrative and grant
authority under the Plan, provided that each designated committee granting any Awards hereunder shall consist exclusively of a member or members of the Board. Upon any such delegation, all references in the Plan to the “Committee,”
other than in Section 8, shall be deemed to include such designated committee. The Committee may (i) delegate authority to grant awards under the Plan for new employees to an officer of the Company who is also a director, to the extent
that such delegation will not violate state corporate law or result in the loss of an exemption under Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act and will not cause any Section 162(m) Award to
fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” and (ii) delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or to third parties. 

 

	 	(d)	 Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information
furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the
Committee and any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken

 

  

			
	4	  	

  

  
  

	 	 
or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be indemnified and held harmless by the Company with respect to any such action or
determination. 

  

	 	(e)	 Awards to Nonemployee Directors. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary and without being subject to management discretion, the
Board, acting through the “nonemployee directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3)) only, shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to select nonemployee directors to receive Awards (other than ISOs) under the
Plan; provided, that, in each calendar year, during any part of which the Plan is in effect, a nonemployee director may not be granted Awards relating to more than fifty thousand (50,000) shares of Stock, subject to adjustment in a manner
consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8. The Board, acting through the nonemployee directors only, shall set the terms of any such Awards in its sole and absolute discretion, including with respect to any provisions relating
to vesting. For the avoidance of doubt, the decisions made by the Board with respect to grants to nonemployee directors shall be independent from decisions made by the Committee with respect to individuals other than nonemployee directors.

  

	 	(f)	 Participants in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to comply with applicable laws in countries other
than the United States in which the Company or any one of its Affiliates operates or has employees, directors or other service providers from time to time, or to ensure that the Company complies with any applicable requirements of foreign securities
exchanges, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which of its Affiliates shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which Eligible Persons outside the United States are eligible to
participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Persons outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any foreign exchange; (iv) establish
sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such sub-plans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices), provided, however, that no such
sub-plans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 4(a); and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is granted, that it deems advisable to comply with any applicable governmental regulatory
exemptions or approval or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate any applicable law. For
purposes of the Plan, all references to foreign laws, rules, regulations or taxes shall be references to the laws, rules, regulations and taxes of any applicable jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof.

	4.	 Stock Subject to Plan. 

 

	 	(a)	 Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and
available for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan shall not exceed thirty-five million (35,000,000) shares. In addition to the thirty-five million (35,000,000) shares, any shares subject to awards under the Occidental
Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) that, following the Effective Date, are forfeited, cancelled or terminated, expire unexercised or are settled
in cash in lieu of Stock will also be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Any shares of Stock issued in connection with Awards other than Options and SARs shall be counted against the limits described above as three (3) shares of
Stock for every one (1) share issued in connection with such Award or by which the Award is valued by reference as three (3) shares. A maximum of thirty five million (35,000,000) shares of Stock of the total authorized under this
Section 4(a) may be granted as Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything contrary in the Plan, no Participant may be granted, during any calendar year, an Award consisting of Options or SARs that are exercisable for more than two
million (2,000,000) shares of Stock. The limitations of this Section 4(a) shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 8. 

  

	 	(b)	 Application of Limitation to Grants of Awards. Subject to Section 4(c), no Award may be granted if the number of shares of Stock to be delivered
in connection with such Award exceeds the number of shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan minus the number of shares of Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to then-outstanding Awards. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting
procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or Conversion Awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously
counted in connection with an Award. 

  

	 	(c)	 Availability of Shares Not Issued under Awards. Shares of Stock subject to an Award under the Plan that expires or is canceled, forfeited, exchanged,
settled in cash or otherwise terminated, including shares forfeited with respect to Restricted Stock, will again be available for Awards under the Plan, except that if any such shares could not again be available for Awards to a particular
Participant under any applicable law or regulation, such shares shall be available exclusively for Awards to Participants who are not subject to such limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) shares tendered or withheld in payment of any
exercise or purchase price of an Award or taxes relating to an Award, (ii) shares that were subject to an Option or SAR that was exercised, or (iii) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an Option’s exercise
price, will not, in each case, be available for future 

 

  

			
			5

  

  
  

	 	 
Awards under the Plan. If an Award may be settled only in cash, such Award need not be counted against any of the share limits under this Section 4 but will remain subject to the limitations
in Section 5 to the extent required to preserve the status of any Section 162(m) Award. 

  

	 	(d)	 Stock Offered. The shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from (i) authorized but unissued shares of Stock, (ii) Stock
held in the treasury of the Company, or (iii) previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. 

 

	5.	 Eligibility; Per Person Award Limitations. Awards may be granted under the Plan only to persons who are Eligible
Persons at the time of grant thereof. In each calendar year, during any part of which the Plan is in effect, a Covered Employee may not be granted (a) Awards (other than Awards designated to be paid only in cash or the settlement of which is
not based on a number of shares of Stock) relating to more than one million (1,000,000) shares of Stock, subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8, and (b) Awards designated to be paid
only in cash, or the settlement of which is not based on a number of shares of Stock, having a value determined on the date of grant in excess of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the fungible share counting rule set
forth in Section 4(a) shall not apply to the limitations in this Section 5. 

  

	6.	 Specific Terms of Awards. 

 

	 	(a)	 General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the
exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 8(a)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. 

 

	 	(b)	 Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options, which may be designated as either ISOs or Nonstatutory Stock Options, to Eligible Persons on the
following terms and conditions: 

  

	 	(i)	 Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Option shall state the exercise price per share of Stock or other Award purchasable pursuant to the
Option (the “Exercise Price”); provided, however, that except as provided in Section 6(j) or in Sections 8(b) through 8(h) hereof, the Exercise Price per share
of Stock subject to an Option shall not be less than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or (B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock as of the date of grant of the Option (or in the case of an ISO
granted to an individual who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or any Subsidiary, 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the date of grant).

	 	(ii)	 Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which or the circumstances under which an Option may be exercised in
whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof and/or future service requirements), the methods by which such Exercise Price may be paid or deemed to be paid, the form of such payment,
including without limitation cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares or through a cashless or broker-assisted exercise or other reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option), other Awards or
awards granted under other plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate (including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred
basis), and the methods by or forms in which Stock or other Awards will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, including, but not limited to, the delivery of Restricted Stock subject to Section 6(d). In the case of an exercise
whereby the Exercise Price is paid with Stock, such Stock shall be valued as of the date of exercise. 

  

	 	(iii)	 ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of section 422 of the Code. ISOs may only be granted
to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company or employees of a parent or Subsidiary corporation of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs (including any SAR in tandem therewith)
shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or any ISO under section 422 of the Code, unless the Participant has first requested the change
that will result in such disqualification. ISOs shall not be granted more than ten years after the earlier of the adoption of the Plan or the approval of the Plan by the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fair Market
Value of shares of Stock subject to an ISO and the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of stock of any parent or Subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) subject to any other ISO (within the meaning
of section 422 of the Code)) of the Company or a parent or Subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) that first becomes purchasable by a Participant in any calendar year may not (with respect to that
Participant) exceed $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under section 422 of the Code or applicable regulations or rulings from time to time. As used in the previous sentence, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date the
ISOs are granted. Failure to comply with this provision shall not impair the enforceability

or exercisability of any Option, but shall cause the excess amount of shares to be reclassified in accordance with the Code. 

 

	 	(c)	 Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions: 

 

	 	(i)	 Right to Payment. A SAR shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the
Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Committee. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Grant Price. Each Award Agreement evidencing a SAR shall state the grant price per share of Stock; provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 6(j) or in Sections 8(b) through 8(h) hereof, the grant price per share of Stock subject to a SAR shall not be less than the greater of (A) the par value per share of the Stock or (B) 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of
the Stock as of the date of grant of the SAR. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Time and Method of Exercise. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee shall determine, at the date of grant or thereafter, the number of
shares of Stock to which the SAR relates, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be vested and/or exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof
and/or future service requirements), the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Stock (if any) will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, and any other
terms and conditions of any SAR. SARs may be either free-standing or in tandem with other Awards. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Rights Related to Options. A SAR granted pursuant to an Option shall entitle a Participant, upon exercise, to surrender that Option or any portion
thereof, to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying (A) the difference obtained by subtracting the Exercise Price with respect to a share of Stock specified in the related Option from the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR, by (B) the number of shares as to which that SAR has been exercised. The Option shall then cease to be exercisable to the extent surrendered. SARs granted in connection with
an Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement governing the Option, which shall provide that the SAR is exercisable only at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall
not be transferable except to the extent that the related Option is transferrable.

	 	(d)	 Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

  

	 	(i)	 Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any,
as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof and/or future service
requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. During the restricted period applicable to the Restricted Stock, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hedged,
hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the Participant. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require or permit a Participant to elect that any
cash dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock, applied to the purchase of additional Awards under the Plan or deferred without interest to the date of vesting of the
associated Award of Restricted Stock; provided, that, to the extent applicable, any such election is intended to comply with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and specified in the
applicable Award Agreement, Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the
Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed. Except in the case of a Retention Award, dividends with respect to any Performance Award shall be subject to the same performance goals as the Performance
Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid until such Performance Award has vested and been earned. 

  

	 	(e)	 Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons, subject to the following terms and conditions:

  

	 	(i)	 Award and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture) as the Committee may
impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof and/or future service requirements),
separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. 

 

  

			
			 7

  

  
  

	 	(ii)	 Settlement. Settlement of a vested Restricted Stock Unit shall occur upon expiration of the deferral period specified for such Restricted Stock Unit by
the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). Restricted Stock Units shall be satisfied by the delivery of cash or Stock, or a combination thereof, in the amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the specified
number of shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units, as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. 

  

	 	(f)	 Bonus Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant an Award of Bonus Stock under the Plan to any Eligible Person as a bonus or additional compensation
or in lieu of cash compensation the individual is otherwise entitled to receive, in such amounts and subject to such other terms as the Committee in its discretion determines to be appropriate. 

 

	 	(g)	 Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to an Eligible Person, entitling the Eligible Person to receive cash,
Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock, or other periodic payments. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another
Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock or Bonus Stock). The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or at a later specified date or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional
Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Dividend Equivalents shall, absent a contrary provision in the applicable Award Agreement, be
paid to a Participant without restriction at the same time as ordinary cash distributions are paid by the Company to its stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of a Retention Award, Dividend Equivalents awarded in connection
with any Performance Award shall be subject to the same performance goals as the Performance Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid until such Performance Award has vested and been earned. Dividend Equivalents shall
only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. 

  

	 	(h)	 Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that
may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation convertible or
exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company

	 	 
or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries of the
Company. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards. Stock delivered pursuant to an Other-Stock Based Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(h) shall be purchased for
such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. 

 

	 	(i)	 Cash Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Cash Awards, on a free-standing basis or as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the
Plan, to Eligible Persons in such amounts and subject to such other terms (including the achievement of performance goals pursuant to Section 6(k) hereof and/or future service requirements) as the Committee in its discretion determines to be
appropriate. 

  

	 	(j)	 Conversion Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for similar awards held by individuals who become Eligible Persons as a result
of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of another entity or the assets of another entity by or with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Such Conversion Awards that are Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may have an exercise price that
is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the substitution if such substitution complies with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules and other applicable laws and exchange rules. 

 

	 	(k)	 Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to designate any of the Awards granted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 as
Performance Awards. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance goals applicable to a Performance Award, and may exercise its discretion to reduce or
increase the amounts payable under any Performance Award, except as limited under Section 6(k)(i) hereof in the case of any Section 162(m) Award. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to
different Participants. The performance period applicable to any Performance Award may range from one to seven years. 

  

	 	(i)	 Section 162(m) Awards Granted to Covered Employees. If the Committee determines that a Performance Award to be granted to an Eligible Person who
is designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as a Section 162(m) Award, the grant, exercise, vesting and/or settlement of such Performance Award shall be contingent upon achievement of a pre-established
performance goal or goals and other terms set forth in this Section 6(k)(i); provided,

 

  

			
	 8
		

  

  
  

	 	 
however, that nothing in this Section 6(k) or elsewhere in the Plan shall be interpreted as preventing the Committee from granting Awards to Covered Employees that are not intended to
constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code or from determining that it is no longer necessary or appropriate for such Awards to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within
the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code. 

  

	 	(A)	 Performance Goals Generally. The performance goals for Section 162(m) Awards shall consist of one or more business or individual performance
criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code and regulations
thereunder (including Treasury Regulation 1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals being
“substantially uncertain” at the time the Committee actually establishes the performance goal or goals. 

  

	 	(B)	 Performance Criteria. 

  

	 	(1)	 Business Criteria. One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified Subsidiaries or
business or geographical units of the Company, shall be used by the Committee in establishing performance goals for Section 162(m) Awards: (a) accounts receivable

capital; or (www) any of the above goals determined on an absolute or relative basis, as a ratio with other business criteria set forth in this Section 6(k)(i)(B)(1), or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed
applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or a group of comparable companies, pre-tax or after-tax, before or after special charges, or any combination of the foregoing. Unless
otherwise stated, such performance goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion set forth in this Section 6(k)(i)(B)(1) and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting
economic losses (measured in each case by reference to specific business criteria set forth in this Section 6(k)(i)(B)(1)). The terms

 

  

			
			 9

  

  
  

	 	 
above are used as applied under generally accepted accounting principles (if applicable) and in the Company’s financial reporting. 

 

	 	(2)	 Individual Performance Criteria. The grant, exercise, vesting and/or settlement of a Section 162(m) Award may also be contingent upon individual
performance goals established by the Committee. If required for compliance with the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, such criteria shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company.

  

	 	(3)	 Effect of Certain Events. The Committee may, at the time the performance goals in respect of a Section 162(m) Award are established in accordance
with Section 6(k)(i)(C) hereof, provide for the manner in which performance will be measured against the performance goals to reflect the impact of specified events with respect to the relevant performance period, which may mean excluding the
impact of any or all of the following events or occurrences for such performance period: (a) asset write-downs or impairments to assets; (b) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax law or other
such laws or regulations affecting reported results; (d) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; (e) any extraordinary, unusual and nonrecurring items or unusual or infrequently occurring items as described in the
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225, as the same may be amended or superseded from time to time; (f) any change in accounting principles as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250, as the same may be amended or
superseded from time to time; (g) any loss from a discontinued operation as described in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, as the same may be amended or superseded from time to time; (h) goodwill impairment charges;
(i) operating results for any business acquired during the calendar year; (j) third party expenses associated with any investment or acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary; (k) any amounts accrued by the Company or its
Subsidiaries pursuant to management bonus plans or cash profit sharing plans and related employer payroll taxes for the fiscal year; (l) any discretionary or matching contributions made to a savings and deferred profit-sharing plan or deferred
compensation plan for the fiscal year; (m) items that the Board has determined do

	 	 
not represent core operations of the Company, specifically including but not limited to interest, expenses, taxes, depreciation and depletion, amortization and accretion charges;
(n) marked-to-market adjustments for financial instruments; or (o) any other extraordinary events or occurrences identified by the Committee, including but not limited to such items described in management’s discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations or the financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year. In addition, Section 162(m) Awards may be adjusted by the
Committee in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8(b) through 8(h) of the Plan. The adjustments described in this paragraph shall only be made, in each case, to the extent that such adjustment in respect of a Section 162(m) Award would
not cause the Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, unless the Company determines that it is no longer necessary or appropriate for such Award to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code. 

  

	 	(C)	 Timing for Establishing Performance Goals. Not later than 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to a Section 162(m)
Award, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall determine (1) the Eligible Persons who will potentially receive such
Section 162(m) Awards, (2) the number of shares of Stock or other amount potentially payable under such Section 162(m) Awards, and (3) the applicable performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set
forth in Section 6(k)(i)(B) hereof. 

  

	 	(D)	 Performance Award Pool. The Committee may establish an unfunded pool for purposes of measuring performance in connection with Section 162(m)
Awards, with the amount of such pool based upon the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section 6(k)(i)(B) hereof during the given performance period, as specified by the
Committee in accordance with Section 6(k)(i)(C) hereof, including the timing requirements set forth therein. The Committee may, in its discretion, adjust the amount of such Performance Award pool to reflect the events or occurrences set forth
in Section 6(k)(i)(B)(3). The Committee may specify the amount of the pool as

 

  

			
	10	  	

  

  
  

	 	 
a percentage of any of such criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or as another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to such criteria.

  

	 	(E)	 Settlement or Payout of Awards; Other Terms. Except as otherwise permitted under section 162(m) of the Code, after the end of the applicable
performance period and before any Section 162(m) Award is paid, the Committee shall certify that the performance goals applicable to such Award were in fact satisfied and shall determine the number of shares or other amount, if any, earned by
or otherwise payable to a Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a payment or settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Section 162(m) Award, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such
amount payable to a Covered Employee in respect of such Award. 

  

	 	(F)	 Written Determinations. All determinations by the Committee as to (1) the establishment of performance goals, (2) the number of shares or
other amount potentially payable under a Section 162(m) Award, or (3) the achievement of performance goals relating to and final settlement or payment of a Section 162(m) Award, shall be made in writing. The Committee may not delegate
any responsibility relating to such Section 162(m) Awards. 

  

	 	(G)	 Options and SARs. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(k)(i), Options and SARs with an Exercise Price or grant price not
less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant awarded to Covered Employees are intended to be Section 162(m) Awards even if not otherwise contingent upon achievement of a pre-established performance goal or goals. 

 

	 	(ii)	 Status of Section 162(m) Awards. It is the intent of the Company that Performance Awards granted to Eligible Persons who are designated by the
Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder shall, if designated by the Committee as Section 162(m) Awards, constitute “performance-based compensation”
within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms governing such Section 162(m) Awards shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder and,
if any provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of adoption of any Award Agreements relating to Performance Awards that are designated as Section 162(m) Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of section 162(m)

	 	 
of the Code or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. 

 

	7.	 Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards.  

 

	 	(a)	 Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone
or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or of any business entity to be acquired by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any other right of an Eligible Person to receive payment from the Company. Such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award,
the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. 

  

	 	(b)	 No Repricing; No Reload Options. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary (other than in accordance with Sections 8(b) through 8(h)
hereof), without the approval of stockholders, the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the Exercise Price or grant price of outstanding Options or SARs or to cancel outstanding Options and SARs in exchange for cash, other Awards
or Options or SARs with an Exercise Price or grant price that is less than the Exercise Price or grant price of the original Options or SARs. Reload Options may not be granted under the Plan. 

 

	 	(c)	 Limit on Transfer of Awards. 

  

	 	(i)	 Except as provided in Section 7(c)(iii) below, each Option and SAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime,
or by the person to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Except as provided in Section 7(c)(iii) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, hedged, attached, sold or
otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. 

 

	 	(iii)	 To the extent specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Award, an Award may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate
family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish. In addition, an Award may be transferred pursuant to a Participant’s written
beneficiary form or will or the laws of descent and distribution or, if approved or

 

  

			
			11

  

  
  

	 	 
ratified by the Committee, pursuant to a domestic relations order entered or approved by a court of competent jurisdiction upon delivery to the Company of written notice of such transfer and a
certified copy of such order. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(c), an ISO shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 

 

	 	(d)	 Minimum Vesting Requirements. The minimum vesting or forfeiture restriction period for Awards (other than Performance Awards, which are subject to the
performance period requirements described in Section 6(k), and Cash Awards) shall be three years, with such vesting or lapse of forfeiture restrictions occurring either on a pro-rata basis, with any pro-rata formula determined in the good faith
discretion of the Committee (provided no tranche of any Award shall vest prior to one year from the date of grant of such Award, except as provided below in this Section 7(d)), or all at the end of such period, as determined by the Committee and
subject to the Committee’s authority pursuant to Section 7(j) and Section 8 of the Plan in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment or service or upon the occurrence of certain events. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a vesting or forfeiture restriction period of less than three years may be approved for Awards (other than Performance Awards and Cash Awards) with respect to up to 10% of the shares of Stock authorized for issuance under Section 4(a) of the
Plan. 

  

	 	(e)	 Term of Awards. Except as otherwise specified herein, the term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee;
provided, that in no event shall the term of any Option or SAR exceed a period of ten years (or such shorter term as may be required with respect to an ISO under section 422 of the Code). 

 

	 	(f)	 Form and Timing of Payment under Awards; Deferrals. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries upon the exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine in its discretion, including without limitation cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, and may be made in
a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis (which may be required by the Committee or permitted at the election of the Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee); provided, however,
that any such deferred or installment payments will be set forth in the Award Agreement and/or otherwise made in a manner that will not result in additional taxes under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Payments may include, without
limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend

	 	 
Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock. The Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of section 3(3)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

  

	 	(g)	 Evidencing Stock. The Stock or other securities of the Company delivered pursuant to an Award may be evidenced in any manner deemed appropriate by the
Committee in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, in the form of a certificate issued in the name of the Participant or by book entry, electronic or otherwise, and shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions
as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Stock or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal,
state or other laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be inscribed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the
Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and
that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock. 

  

	 	(h)	 Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for such consideration, including services, as the Committee shall determine, but shall not be granted
for less than the minimum lawful consideration. 

  

	 	(i)	 Additional Agreements. Each Eligible Person to whom an Award is granted under the Plan may be required to agree in writing, as a condition to the grant
of such Award or otherwise, to subject an Award to a general release of claims and/or a noncompetition or other restrictive covenant agreement in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, with the terms and conditions of such agreement(s) to be
determined in good faith by the Committee. 

  

	 	(j)	 Termination of Service. Except as provided herein, the treatment of an Award upon a termination of employment or any other service relationship by and
between a Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 

  

	8.	 Amendment; Subdivision or Consolidation; Recapitalization; Change in Control; Reorganization. 

  

	 	(a)	 Amendments to the Plan and Awards. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant
Awards under the Plan without the consent of stockholders or 

 

  

			
	 12
		

  

  
  

	 	 
Participants, except that any amendment or alteration to the Plan, including any increase in any share limitation, shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders not later
than the annual meeting next following such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or
quoted, and the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the Plan to stockholders for approval; provided, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Board action may materially and
adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Award. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any
Award Agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in the Plan; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such
Participant under such Award. For purposes of clarity, any adjustments made to Awards pursuant to Section 8(b) through 8(h) will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any previously granted
and outstanding Award and therefore may be made without the consent of affected Participants. 

  

	 	(b)	 Existence of Plans and Awards. The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company, the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any
issue of debt or equity securities ahead of or affecting Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate
act or proceeding. In no event will any action taken by the Committee pursuant to this Section 8 result in the creation of deferred compensation within the meaning of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. 

 

	 	(c)	 Subdivision or Consolidation of Shares. The terms of an Award and the share limitations under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee
from time to time, in accordance with the following provisions: 

  

	 	(i)	 If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall subdivide as a whole (by reclassification, by a Stock split, by the issuance of a distribution on
Stock payable in Stock, or otherwise) the number of shares of Stock then outstanding into a greater number of shares of Stock or in the event the Company distributes an extraordinary cash

	 	 
dividend, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan or in connection with Awards as provided in Sections 4 and 5 shall be increased
proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award shall
be increased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the Exercise Price or grant price) for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be reduced proportionately, without changing the
aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 

  

	 	(ii)	 If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate as a whole (by reclassification, by reverse Stock split, or otherwise) the number of
shares of Stock then outstanding into a lesser number of shares of Stock, then, as appropriate (A) the maximum number of shares of Stock available for the Plan or in connection with Awards as provided in Sections 4 and 5 shall be decreased
proportionately, and the kind of shares or other securities available for the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted, (B) the number of shares of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) that may be acquired under any then outstanding Award
shall be decreased proportionately, and (C) the price (including the Exercise Price or grant price) for each share of Stock (or other kind of shares or securities) subject to then outstanding Awards shall be increased proportionately, without
changing the aggregate purchase price or value as to which outstanding Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Whenever the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Awards and the price for each share of Stock subject to outstanding Awards are required to be
adjusted as provided in this Section 8(c), the Committee shall promptly prepare a notice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and
the change in price and the number of shares of Stock, other securities, cash, or property purchasable subject to each Award after giving effect to the adjustments. The Committee shall promptly provide each affected Participant with such notice.

  

	 	(d)	 Recapitalization. If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or otherwise changes its capital structure (a “recapitalization”) without the occurrence of a Change in Control, the number and class of shares of Stock covered by an Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such

 

  

			
			 13

  

  
  

	 	 
Award shall thereafter cover the number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately
prior to the recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock then covered by such Award and the share limitations provided in Sections 4 and 5 shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the
recapitalization. 

  

	 	(e)	 Additional Issuances. Except as expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other
securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of
Stock, if applicable. 

  

	 	(f)	 Change in Control. 

  

	 	(i)	 Double Trigger Vesting. In the event of a Change in Control, the vesting and forfeiture restrictions on an Award shall not lapse, and the time of
exercisability of an Award shall not be accelerated to a date, in either case, earlier than (A) the original date specified for the lapse of such vesting and forfeiture restrictions or the time of exercise in the applicable Award Agreement, or
(B) the date the Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, provided such termination date
occurs within 12 months following the date of such Change in Control. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Award Adjustments. Upon a Change in Control, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval of any holder, may effect one
or more of the following alternatives, which may vary among individual holders and which may vary among Options, SARs or other Awards held by any individual holder: (A) provide for a cash payment with respect to outstanding Awards by requiring
the mandatory surrender to the Company by selected holders of some or all of the outstanding Awards held by such holders (irrespective of whether such Awards are then vested or exercisable pursuant to the Plan) as of a date, before or after such
Change in Control, specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards (with respect to all shares subject to such Awards) and pay to each holder an amount of cash (or other consideration including securities
or other property) per share equal to (1) with respect to any

	 	 
Option or SAR, the excess, if any, of the amount calculated in Section 8(g) (the “Change in Control Price”) with respect
to the shares subject to such Option or SAR over the Exercise Price or grant price applicable to such Option or SAR (except that to the extent the Exercise Price or grant price under any such Option or SAR is equal to or exceeds the Change in
Control Price, in which case no amount shall be payable with respect to such Option or SAR), or (2) with respect to any other Award, the Change in Control Price, and provided, that, in either case, the Committee may determine that,
notwithstanding the cancellation of all shares subject to an Award, any such cash payment shall only be made for shares for which such Award is vested and/or exercisable; (B) provide for the assumption, substitution or continuation of Awards by
the successor company or a parent or subsidiary thereof; or (C) make such adjustments to Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control; provided, however, that the Committee may
determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is necessary to Awards then outstanding. 

  

	 	(g)	 Change in Control Price. The “Change in Control Price” shall equal the amount
determined in the following clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), whichever is applicable, as follows: (i) the price per share offered to holders of Stock in any merger or consolidation, (ii) the per share Fair Market Value of the
Stock immediately before the Change in Control without regard to assets sold in the Change in Control and assuming the Company has received the consideration paid for the assets in the case of a sale of the assets, (iii) the amount distributed
per share of Stock in a dissolution transaction, (iv) the price per share offered to holders of Stock in any tender offer or exchange offer whereby a Change in Control takes place, or (v) if such Change in Control occurs other than
pursuant to a transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 8(g), the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock that may otherwise be obtained with respect to such Awards or to which such Awards track, as
determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Awards. In the event that the consideration offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction described in this
Section 8(g) or in Section 8(f) consists of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered which is other than cash and such determination shall be binding on
all affected Participants to the extent applicable to Awards held by such Participants. 

  

	 	(h)	 Impact of Events on Awards Generally. In the event of a Change in Control or changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of a recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the date of the

 

  

			
	14	  	

  

  
  

	 	 
grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for by this Section 8, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee at
its discretion, which adjustment may, in the Committee’s discretion, be described in the Award Agreement and may include, but not be limited to, adjustments as to the number and price of shares of Stock or other consideration subject to such
Awards, conversion of such Awards into awards denominated in the securities or other interests of any successor person, or the cash settlement of such Awards in exchange for the cancellation thereof, or the cancellation of Awards either with or
without consideration. In the event of any such change in the outstanding Stock, the share limitations in Sections 4 and 5 of the Plan may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. 

 

	9.	 General Provisions.  

 

	 	(a)	 No Rights to Award. No person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 

  

	 	(b)	 Tax Withholding. The Company and any of its Subsidiaries are authorized to withhold from any Award granted, or any payment relating to an Award under
the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable
the Company, its Subsidiaries and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. The Committee shall determine the form of payment of such tax withholding obligations,
including without limitation cash or cash equivalents, Stock (including previously owned shares or through a cashless or net settlement or a broker-assisted sale or other reduction of the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award),
other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. This shall include authority to, in the discretion of the Committee with respect to any Participant who is subject to Rule 16b-3 (which Committee, for these purposes,
shall be comprised of two or more “nonemployee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) or the full Board and which such discretion may not be delegated to management), withhold, sell or receive Stock or other property and to make
cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis; provided, that if such tax obligations are satisfied through the withholding of shares of Stock that are otherwise
issuable to the Participant pursuant to an Award (or through the surrender of shares of Stock by the Participant to the Company), the number of shares of Stock that may be

	 	 
so withheld (or surrendered) shall be limited to the number of shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of
such tax liabilities determined based on the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, foreign and/or local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, as determined by the Committee. 

 

	 	(c)	 Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or
Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any
Eligible Person’s or Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants
and/or employees and/or other service providers, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until the Participant is duly issued or transferred shares of Stock in accordance with the terms
of an Award. 

  

	 	(d)	 Governing Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the Plan and Awards shall be determined by application of the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law provisions thereof, except to the extent Delaware law is preempted by federal law. The obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Stock hereunder is subject to applicable federal and state
laws and to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Stock. 

  

	 	(e)	 Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as
to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law or, if it cannot be construed or deemed amended
without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full
force and effect. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (as those terms or provisions are applied to Eligible Persons who are subject to section 16(b) of the Exchange Act)
or section 422 of the Code (with respect to Incentive Stock Options), then those conflicting terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (unless the Board or the Committee, as
appropriate, has expressly 

 

  

			
			 15

  

  
  

	 	 
determined that the Plan or such Award should not comply with Rule 16b-3) or section 422 of the Code. With respect to Incentive Stock Options, if the Plan does not contain any provision required
to be included herein under section 422 of the Code, that provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if that provision had been set out at length herein; provided, further, that, to the extent any
Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option cannot so qualify, that Option (to that extent) shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option for all purposes of the Plan. 

 

	 	(f)	 Unfunded Status of Awards; No Trust or Fund Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for certain incentive awards.
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires
a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company or such Subsidiary. 

 

	 	(g)	 Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including incentive arrangements and awards that do not constitute “performance-based
compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from taking any corporate action that is deemed by the Company or such Subsidiary to be
appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
as a result of any such action. 

  

	 	(h)	 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine in
its sole discretion whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional shares of Stock or whether such fractional shares of Stock or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise
eliminated with or without consideration. 

  

	 	(i)	 Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be
deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 

  

	 	(j)	 Facility of Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any individual under legal disability or who, in the judgment of the Committee, is unable to
manage

	 	 
properly his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such individual, or may be applied for the benefit of such individual in any manner that the Committee may select, and
the Company shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 

  

	 	(k)	 Gender and Number. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall
include the plural. 

  

	 	(l)	 Conditions to Delivery of Stock. Nothing herein or in any Award Agreement shall require the Company to issue any shares with respect to any Award if
that issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable statute or regulation, or the rules of any applicable securities
exchange or securities association, as then in effect. In addition, each Participant who receives an Award under the Plan shall not sell or otherwise dispose of Stock that is acquired upon grant or vesting of an Award in any manner that would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, the Plan or the rules, regulations or other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed. At the time of
any exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or at the time of any grant of any other Award the Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or settlement of such other Award, require
from the Participant (or in the event of his or her death, his or her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written representations, if any, concerning the holder’s intentions with regard to the retention or disposition
of the shares of Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award and such written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal of such shares as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may be necessary to ensure that any disposition
by that holder (or in the event of the holder’s death, his or her legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) will not involve a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other
applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, as then in effect. No Stock or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any
amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Company. 

 

	 	(m)	 Clawback. Awards granted under the Plan are made subject to compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct or policies referenced therein
(“CBC”). In the event of breach or violation of the CBC, disciplinary action under this Section 9(m) may include, without limitation, reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or

 

  

			
	16	  	

  

  
  

	 	 
recoupment of Awards as determined by the Committee. In addition, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to any written clawback policy that the Company, with the approval of the Board,
may adopt to conform to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange and that the Company determines should apply to
the Plan. A Participant’s acceptance of any Award issued under the Plan will constitute such Participant’s agreement to subject the Award to such potential clawback, reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment in accordance with this
Section 9(m). 

  

	 	(n)	 Section 409A of the Code. It is the general intention, but not the obligation, of the Committee to design Awards to comply with or to be exempt
from the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, and Awards will be operated and construed accordingly. Neither this Section 9(n) nor any other provision of the Plan is or contains a representation to any Participant regarding the tax
consequences of the grant, vesting, exercise, settlement, and/or sale of any Award (or the Stock underlying such Award) granted hereunder, or should be interpreted as such and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any
taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Employee on account of non-compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that a “specified employee” (as defined under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules) becomes entitled to a payment under an Award that would be subject to additional taxes and interest under section 409A of the Code if the
Participant’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier

	 	 
of (i) the date of the Participant’s death, or (ii) the date that is six months after the Participant’s “separation from service” as defined under the Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Rules (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to the Participant until the Section 409A Payment
Date. Any amounts subject to the preceding sentence that would otherwise be payable prior to the Section 409A Payment Date will be aggregated and paid in a lump sum without interest on the Section 409A Payment Date. The applicable
provisions of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules are hereby incorporated by reference and shall control over any Plan or Award Agreement provision in conflict therewith. To the extent that the Board determines an Award is subject to the
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules and fails to comply with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules, the Board reserves the right (without any obligation to do so) to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such Award in order to cause
the Award to either not be subject to section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section. 

  

	 	(o)	 Plan Effective Date and Term. The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 11, 2015, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on
May 1, 2015, to be effective on the Effective Date. No Awards may be granted under the Plan on and after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or
Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan, shall extend beyond such termination date until the final
disposition of such Award.

of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or may be embodied
in or evidenced by an electronic transmission which identifies the documents containing the proposal on which such consent is requested
and certifies such Securityholders’ consent thereto and agreement to be bound thereby; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. If any Securities are denominated in coin or currency other than that of the United
States, then for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any
action as herein described, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars
that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United States dollars for the currency

of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence. If any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, then for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of
the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action as herein described, the principal amount of such Original Issue

of acceleration of the Maturity thereof as of the date the taking of such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount
is evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.04(a). Such instrument or instruments

11

(and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Securityholders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

(2)                
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
to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate
or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument
or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(3)                
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

(4)                
If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to
do so. Such record date shall be the later of 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such action or the date of the most recent
list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record
at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Securities outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Securities outstanding shall be computed as of the record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it
shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date, and that no
such authorization, agreement or consent may be amended, withdrawn or revoked once given by a Holder, unless the Company shall
provide for such amendment, withdrawal or revocation in conjunction with such solicitation of authorizations, agreements or consents
or unless and to the extent required by applicable law.

(5)                
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall
bind 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 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.

Section 1.05.              
Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Securityholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

(1)                
the Trustee by any Securityholder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished
or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; or

(2)                
the Company by the Trustee or by any Securityholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided
in Section 5.0 1(4) or, in the case of a request for repayment, as specified in the Security carrying the right to repayment) if
in writing and mailed, first−class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office

12

specified in
the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at the address last furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company.

Section 1.06.              
Notices to Securityholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Securityholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such Security expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first−class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice
so mailed, to any particular Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Securityholders.
Where this Indenture or any Security 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 Securityholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason
of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,
then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
of such notice.

Section 1.07.              
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the
duties imposed by, or with another provision (an “incorporated provision”) included in this Indenture by operation
of, any of Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control.

Section 1.08.              
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.

Section 1.09.              
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors, if any, shall
bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 1.10.              
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 1.11.              
Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the
Holders of Securities (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture.

Section 1.12.              
Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 1.13.              
Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 1.14.              
Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a)
if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or
premium or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment
will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in the City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on
the New York Banking Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment

13

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

Section 1.15.              
Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, date established for payment of Defaulted
Interest pursuant to Section 3.07, Stated Maturity or Maturity with respect to any Security or other day on which principal or
interest is due, shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security) payment
of principal or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant
to Section 3.07 or Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or other such day, Redemption Date, date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 3.07, Stated
Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.16.              
Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities and Jury Trial. The Company and each Guarantor agree
that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any Guarantor arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the transactions
contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York, New York, and waives any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company and each Guarantor shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York an office or agency to act as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may
be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture, any Security or the transactions contemplated
herein or thereby which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in The City of New York, New York, and expressly accepts
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby designates
the Corporate Trust Office as the Authorized Agent and appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such process so long as such
Corporate Trust Office remains the Authorized Agent. The Company and each Guarantor further agree to take any and all action as
may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of ten years
from the date of this Indenture. If for any reason the Authorized Agent shall cease to be available to act as such authorized agent
for the Company and any Guarantor, the Company and each Guarantor agree to designate a new agent in the State of New York on the
terms and for the purpose of this Section 1.16. The Company and each Guarantor hereby represent and warrant that the Authorized
Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company and each Guarantor
agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment
in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective
service of process upon the Company.

(1)                
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued
in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall,
in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and deliver,
such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of, the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof
as the Company shall specify in a Company Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Security
or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s
instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by
an authorized representative of the Depository to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any
certificate issued is registered in the name of the nominee of the

15

Depository or
in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment is made to the nominee of
the Depository or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE,
OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, the nominee
of the Depository, has an interest herein.”

(2)                
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.05, and subject to the provisions of paragraph
(c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for
individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05,
only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Security, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Security
selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

(3)                
(i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository for the Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible
or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company
shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depository for such Global Security is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of individual
Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series
of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such
Global Security.

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

(iii)If
specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.02 with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global
Security, the Depository for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual
Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depository
Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to
each Person specified by such Depository a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial
interest as specified by such Depository in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depository a new Global Security of like tenor
and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global
Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

(iv)In any
exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate
and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the

16

exchange of the
entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or
its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant
to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Security Registrar. The
Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver at its Corporate Trust Office such Securities to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered.

The form of the
Securities of each series shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture in or pursuant to the Board Resolution
or in the indenture supplemental hereto creating such series. The Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities
of each other series in such manner, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, as the Board of Directors may determine.

Unless otherwise
provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable in registered form,
without coupons.

Any terms or provisions
in respect of the Securities of any series issued under this Indenture may be determined pursuant to this Section by providing
for the method by which such terms or provisions shall be determined.

Section 3.02.              
Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be provided in

Officer. 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 executed by the Company
to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this
Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Prior to any such
authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall be provided with the Officers’ Certificate required to be furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of the series of Securities
required to be furnished pursuant to Section 2.02, an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that:

(1)                
all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of the Indenture and constitute sufficient authority
hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Securities;

(2)                
the form and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(3)                
all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied
with, the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such Securities have been duly authorized and delivered
by the Company and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and binding

19

obligations
of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect
and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture,
equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such series Outstanding;

(4)                
when applicable, the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and

(5)                
such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;

and, if the authentication and delivery
relates to a new series of Securities created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all laws and requirements
with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have
been complied with, the Company has corporate power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary
corporate action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies,
to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’
rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity).

The Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.

Unless otherwise
provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their 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 or facsimile signature,
and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but
never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in
Section 3.09, 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 3.04.              
Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon
receipt of the documents required by Section 3.03, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of
the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

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

Section 3.05.              
Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register or registers (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, or of Securities of a particular series, and of transfers of Securities or of
Securities of such series. Any such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written
form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall be available
for inspection by the Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 10.02. There shall
be only one Security Register per series of Securities.

Subject to Section
2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms.

Subject to Section
2.04, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, upon surrender of the Securities
to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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 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 Trustee duly executed, by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

Unless otherwise
provided in the Security to be registered for transfer or exchanged, no service charge shall be made on any Securityholder for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Security) require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall
not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption
under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

None of the Company,
the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar 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.

Section 3.06.              
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company
and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall
execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange

21

for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, series, Stated Maturity and principal amount,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

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

Every new Security
issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same
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 3.07.              
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Security pursuant to Section
3.01, 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.

Any interest on
any Security 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 registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of
his having been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election
in each case, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

(1)                
The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (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 “Special Record Date”). The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security 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 reasonably 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 (1) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor 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 the Holder of each such Security
at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

22

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

If any installment
of interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption pursuant
to Article XI is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this Section, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such Securities.

Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section, 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.

Section 3.08.              
Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium,
if any), and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

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

Section 3.09.              
Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or credit against a
sinking fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled,
shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered
shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Security 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. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities
in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company upon its written request
therefor.

Section 3.10.              
CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing any Securities may use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers
(if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers in notices of redemption
as a convenience to Securityholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness
of such numbers either as printed on such Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers in such notices of redemption.

Section 3.11.              
Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360−day year of twelve 30 day months.

Section 3.12.              
Delayed Issuance of Securities. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to
be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate,
Board Resolution, indenture supplemental hereto, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order otherwise required pursuant to Sections 1.02,
2.02, 3.01 and 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered to
the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued;
provided that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon original issuance
shall constitute a representation and warranty

23

by the Company that
as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate or other certificates delivered pursuant
to Sections 1.02 and 2.02 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

A Company Order,
Officers’ Certificate or Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the
circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time in the aggregate principal amount, if any, established
for such series pursuant to such procedures reasonably acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Company
Order upon the telephonic, electronic or written order of Persons designated in such Company Order, Officers’ Certificate,
indenture supplemental hereto or Board Resolution (any such telephonic or electronic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing
by such Persons) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Company Order, Officers’ Certificate,
indenture supplemental hereto or Board Resolution, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Company
Order, Officers’ Certificate, indenture supplemental hereto or Board Resolution.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE;

DEFEASANCE

Section 4.01.              
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made that this Section shall not be
applicable to the Securities of any series, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities
(except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for
herein or in the form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when:

(1)                
either

(A)all Securities
of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment
money in the Required Currency has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03 have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or
for cancellation; or

(B)all such
Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation:

(i)have
become due and payable, or

(ii)will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

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

and the Company,
in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust for the purpose an amount in the Required Currency sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the
date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date,
as the case may be;

24

(2)                
the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Securities
of such series; and

(3)                
the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such series have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee with respect
to that series under Section 6.07 shall survive and the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02,
10.02 and 10.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 4.02.              
Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money, property and
securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.03 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the series of Securities in respect of which it was deposited and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) 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.

Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money,
property or securities deposited with and held by it as provided in Section 4.03 and this Section 4.02 which, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction
and discharge, Discharge (as defined below) or covenant defeasance, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate
any securities in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

Section 4.03.              
Defeasance Upon Deposit of Funds or Government Obligations. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made that this
Section shall not be applicable to the Securities of any series, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Company and the
Guarantors, if any, shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to any series
of Securities after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any
obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.05 and Article VIII (and any other Sections
or covenants applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision), the Guarantors,
if any, shall be released from the Guarantees and clause (4) of Section 5.01 of this Indenture (and any other Events of Default
applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not
to be an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below
have been satisfied:

(1)                
the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds, specifically pledged
as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount,
or (ii) the equivalent in securities of the government which issued the currency in which the Securities are denominated or government
agencies backed by the full faith and credit of such government which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide freely available funds on or prior to the due date of any payment, money in
an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion (with respect to (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) and any premium of, interest on and any
repurchase or redemption obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of
interest or principal or repurchase or redemption obligations are due (before such a deposit, if

25

the Securities
of such series are then redeemable or may be redeemed in the future pursuant to the terms thereof, in either case at the option
of the Company, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.02, a notice of its election to redeem all of
the Securities of such series at a future date in accordance with Article XI);

(2)                
no Event of Default or event (including such deposit) which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(3)                
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Securities of such
series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its
option under this Section 4.03 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 option had not been exercised, and, in the case of Securities being Discharged, accompanied
by a ruling to that effect from the Internal Revenue Service, unless, as set forth in such Opinion of Counsel, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law since the date of this Indenture such that a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
is no longer required;

(4)                
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in paragraph
(1) above was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company or with the
intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

(5)                
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such series have been complied with.

If the Company,
at its option, with respect to a series of Securities, satisfies the applicable conditions pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
of the first sentence of this Section, then (A), in the event the Company satisfies the conditions to clause (a) and elects clause
(a) to be applicable, each of the Guarantors, if any, shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented
by, and obligations under, its respective guarantee of the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations
under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such series and (B) in either case, each of the Guarantors, if any, shall cease
to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenants applicable to such Securities
that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision), and any Events of Default applicable to such series
of Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision shall be deemed not to be an Event of
Default with respect to such series of Securities at any time thereafter.

“Discharged”
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under,
the Securities of such series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Securities of such
series (and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above, payment
of the principal and any premium of and any interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (B) the Company’s obligations
with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02, 6.07, 10.02 and 10.03; (C) the Company’s right of redemption,
if any, with respect to any Securities of such series pursuant to Article XI, in which case the Company may redeem the Securities
of such series in accordance with Article XI by complying with such Article and depositing with the Trustee, in accordance with
Section 11.05, an amount of money sufficient, together with all amounts held in trust pursuant to Section 4.02 with respect to
Securities of such series, to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities of such series to be redeemed; and (D) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. A “Discharge” shall mean the meeting by the Company
of the foregoing requirements.

26

Section 4.04.              
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money, property or securities in accordance with Section
4.02 of this Indenture, 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 Company’s and, if applicable, the Guarantors’
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 4.01 or 4.03 of this Indenture, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money, property or securities in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Indenture; provided that, if the Company has made
any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money, property or securities held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

shall become immediately due and payable.

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

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

(A)all overdue
installments of interest on the Securities of such series; and

(B)the principal
of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,
and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful; and

28

(C)interest
upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful; 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 all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; and

(2)                
all Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities
of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

Section 5.03.              
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(1)                
default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due
and payable; or

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

(3)                
default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the
terms of the Securities of any series;

and any such default continues for any
period of grace provided with respect to the Securities of such series, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it,
for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders of any such series in the case of clause (3) above), the whole
amount then due and payable on any such Security (or on the Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above) for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed
therefor by the terms of any such Security (or of Securities of any such series in the case of clause (3) above); 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 all other amounts due the Trustee under Section
6.07.

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, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the money
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 any series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 5.04.              
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal
of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective

29

of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i)                  
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or portion thereof determined pursuant to Section 3.01(16)
to be provable in bankruptcy) (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder
to make such payment to the Trustee and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder 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 Securityholder in any such proceeding.

Section 5.05.              
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such
series 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 agent and counsel and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.06.              
Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities 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 on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of such series 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 6.07.

SECOND: To the payment
of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, 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 premium, if any) and interest, respectively.

THIRD: To the Company.

Section 5.07.              
Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial
or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless:

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

30

(2)                
the Holders of not less than 3 3−1/3% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such 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 to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

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

Section 5.08.              
Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions
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 premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may
be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder.

Section 5.09.              
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Securityholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right
or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case
the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Securityholders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10.              
Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion
or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11.              
Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security 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 Securityholders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders, as the case
may be.

Section 5.12.              
Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

31

(1)                
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines
that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall,
by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial
to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and

(2)                
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 5.13.              
Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such
series and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:

(1)                
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of
any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or

(2)                
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.

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 5.14.              
Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall
be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on an
Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on
or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be).

Section 5.15.              
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that
it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE
VI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.01.              
Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series
of Securities:

32

(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 be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and

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

(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 of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto
or Board Resolution relating to such series of Securities, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent
man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

(1)this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

(3)the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of a majority in 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, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.

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

Section 6.02.              
Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series,
the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register,
notice of all defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however,
that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such
series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation with

33

respect to Securities
of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default
of the character specified in Section 5.0 1(4) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to Securityholders of such
series shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”,
with respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 6.03.              
Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

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

(b)any
request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and
any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c)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;

(d)the
Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or an 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;

(e)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 Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee security
or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction;

(f)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 or other paper or document, but the Trustee,
in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, 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;

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

(h)the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (as defined in Section 6.02) or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to the
Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee (or any successor division or department of the Trustee) shall have actual knowledge
of such default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee
by the Company or any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities;

34

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

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

Section 6.04.              
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 6.05.              
May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the 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
6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company or any Guarantor, if applicable, with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.06.              
Money Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof, all moneys in any currency or currency received
by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest
on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

Section 6.07.              
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(1)                
to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(2)                
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 shall be determined
to have been caused by its own negligence or bad faith; and

(3)                
to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence
or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, 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.

As security for
the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon
all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities.

When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or (6), the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

The Company’s
obligations under this Section 6.07 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the
discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article IV of this Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture.

35

Section 6.08.              
Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided for therein. In determining whether
the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of
any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than
that series. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second
to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 6.09.              
Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of
Securities, which shall be either:

(i)                  
a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or

(ii)                
a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act
as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially
equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees;

in either case having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control
with the Company shall serve as trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If at any time the Trustee with respect
to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.

Section 6.10.              
Resignation and Removal. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

(b)The
Trustee may resign with respect to any series of Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee 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.

(c)The
Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of that 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.

(d)If
at any time:

(1)                
the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 6.08 with respect to
any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security of that

36

series for at
least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act, or

(2)                
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder, or

(3)                
the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or

(4)                
the Trustee 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, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, with respect
to the series, or in the case of clause (4), with respect to all series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the series, or, in the case of clause (4), with respect to all series.

(e) If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a vacancy shall
occur in the office of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series of Securities.

If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be
appointed by the 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,
become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect
to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Securityholders
of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.14, any Securityholder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

(f)The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to any series by mailing written notice of such event by first−class mail, postage prepaid,
to the Holders of Securities of that series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.

Section 6.11.              
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to any series as to which it is resigning or being removed as Trustee,
and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to any such series; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor trustee hereunder with respect to all or any such series,
subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 607. Upon request of any

37

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.

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 predecessor
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee
is not being succeeded shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and 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 indenture supplemental hereto shall constitute such Trustees co−trustees
of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust
or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

No successor Trustee
with respect to any series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee
shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that series under this Article.

Section 6.12.              
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 of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation
to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as
if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 6.13.              
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to
the extent indicated.

Section 6.14.              
Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the approval
of 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 issuance, exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by 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 an Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Company itself, 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.

38

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

An Authenticating
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, 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, if other than the Company, 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, with the approval of the Company, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first−class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the
series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register.
Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees
to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation 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 alternate 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.

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY

TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

Section 7.01.              
Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Trustee:

(1)                
Semi−annually, not more than 15 days after December 15 and June 15 in each year in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of each series as of such December 15 and June 15, as applicable,
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

39

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.

Section 7.02.              
Preservation of Information; Communications to Securityholders.

(a)The
Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Securities contained
in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities
received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as
provided in Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

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

(1)                
afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a),
or

(2)                
inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case
may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a),
and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in
such application.

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford
such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder
of a Security of such series or to all Securityholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which
is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment,
or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall
mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to
the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities
of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall
specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written
statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining
one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all Securityholders
of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal
of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

(c)Every
Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
of Securities in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the
Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b).

(c)A copy
of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be furnished to the Company and, in accordance with Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(d), be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities are listed, and also with
the Commission.

Section 7.04.              
Reports by Company. The Company shall file with the Trustee, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents and other
reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided
pursuant to such Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is
so required to be filed with the Commission. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section
314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s
receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

No supplemental indenture for the purposes
identified in clauses (2), (3) or (5) above may be entered into if to do so would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of any series in any material respect.

Section 9.02.              
Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. Except as otherwise set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto
or Board Resolution creating such series of Securities or in the form of security for such Series, with the consent of the Holders
of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental indenture
or indentures (acting as one class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee (in accordance with Section
1.04 hereof), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, 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 of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series under this Indenture; provided, however,

on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or alter the provisions of this Indenture so as to
affect adversely the terms, if any, of conversion of any Securities into Common Stock or other securities; or

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

(3)                
modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, Section 5.13 or Section 10.06, except to increase any such percentage
or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of

to, the Securities of any series on or after the Stated Maturity of such Securities (or in the case of redemption, on or after

43

(5)                
amend or modify Section 12.01 of this Indenture in any manner adverse to the rights of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities
of any series.

For purposes of
this Section 9.02, if the Securities of any series are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, each holder of an unexercised and
unexpired warrant with respect to such series shall be deemed to be a Holder of Outstanding Securities of such series in the amount
issuable upon the exercise of such warrant. For such purposes, the ownership of any such warrant shall be determined by the Company
in a manner consistent with customary commercial practices. The Trustee for such series shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’
Certificate as to the principal amount of Securities of such series in respect of which consents shall have been executed by holders
of such warrants.

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 Holders of Securities
of any other series.

It shall not be
necessary for any Act of Securityholders 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 9.03.              
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 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution
of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

Section 9.04.              
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 to the extent
provided therein.

Section 9.05.              
Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the
requirements of TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.06.              
Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities 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 so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, 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.

Section 9.07.              
Notice of Supplemental Indentures. Promptly after the execution by the Company, any affected Guarantor and the Trustee of
any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Securityholders
of each Outstanding Security affected, in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, setting forth in general terms the substance
of such Supplemental Indenture. Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or waiver.

Section 9.08.              
Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Securityholders becomes
effective, a consent to it or any other action by a Securityholder of any series hereunder is a continuing consent by such Securityholder
and every subsequent Securityholder of that Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on

44

such Security. However,
any such Securityholder or subsequent Securityholder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Securityholder’s
Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the consent of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series affected then outstanding has been obtained and not revoked. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes
effective, it shall bind every Securityholder of the affected series, except as provided in Section 9.02.

The Company may,
but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to consent to any
amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the first two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph,
those persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons
continue to be Securityholders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after
such record date.

Section 10.01.           
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. With respect to each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually
pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and
will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in the Indenture for the benefit of,
the Securities of such series.

Section 10.02.           
Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment where Securities
may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served and where any Securities
with conversion privileges, if any, may be presented and surrendered for conversion. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail
to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Unless otherwise
set forth in, or pursuant to, a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Securities, the Company
hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities, the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State
of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as the Company’s office or agency for each
such purpose in such city.

Section 10.03.           
Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series
of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities
of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or 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 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 (and
premium, if any) or interest on, any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

45

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

(1)                
hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such 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 such series) in the making
of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series; and

(3)                
at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Company may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities
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 in respect of each and every series of Securities as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture
or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Company in respect of all Securities, 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, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any)
or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company mail to the Holders of the Securities as to which the money to be repaid
was held in trust, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a notice that such moneys remain unclaimed and
that, after a date specified in the notice, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date on which the notice was first mailed
to the Holders of the Securities as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then
remaining will be paid to the Company free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

Section 10.04.           
Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year,
a written statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the
Company stating that:

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

(2)                
to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture and
has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture through such year, or, if there has been
a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, covenant or condition, specifying each such default known to him and the nature
and status thereof.

For the purpose
of this Section 10.04, default and compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

46

Section 10.05.           
Legal Existence. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its legal existence.

Section 10.06.           
Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in respect of any series of Securities, in any particular instance, to
comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 10.04 or 10.05 or set forth in a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental
hereto with respect to the Securities of such series, unless otherwise specified in such Board Resolution or indenture supplemental
hereto, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of all series affected by such waiver (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such Securityholders delivered to the Company
and the Trustee (in accordance with Section 1.04 hereof), either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance
with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant 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 covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section 10.06 shall permit the
waiver of compliance with any covenant or condition set forth in such Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto which,
if in the form of an indenture supplemental hereto, would not be permitted by Section 9.02 without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.01.           
Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before Stated Maturity all or any part of
the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by
provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.02 and on such terms
as are specified in such form or in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series
as provided in Section 3.01. Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities
and, to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of this Article. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture, except in the case of redemption pursuant to a sinking fund, the Trustee shall not
make any payment in connection with the redemption of Securities until the close of business on the Redemption Date.

Section 11.02.           
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable at the election of
the Company shall be evidenced by, or pursuant to authority granted by, a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date
fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series and the Tranche (as defined in Section 11.03) to be redeemed.

In the case of any
redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities
or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (ii) 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 11.03.           
Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of like tenor and terms of any series
(a “Tranche”) are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such Tranche not previously called for redemption,
by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may include provision for the selection for redemption
of portions of the principal of Securities of such Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal
of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Securities of such
series, or an integral multiple

47

thereof, and the principal
amount which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. If less
than all the Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Tranche of Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected by the Company.

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

Securities shall
be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written
statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the Redemption
Date (unless a shorter period shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) as being owned of record and beneficially by, and
not pledged or hypothecated by either, (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as being
an Affiliate of the Company.

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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has
been or is to be redeemed.

Section 11.04.           
Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first−class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than
15 (unless otherwise provided in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the relevant series) nor more
than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security
Register.

All notices of redemption
shall state:

(1)                
the Redemption Date;

(2)                
the Redemption Price;

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

(4)                
that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest,
if any, thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date;

(5)                
the place where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or
agency of the Company in the Place of Payment;

(6)                
that the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase fund, or other analogous obligation, if that be the case;

(7)                
if such Securities are convertible into Common Stock or other securities, the Conversion Price or other conversion price
and the date on which the right to convert such Securities into Common Stock or other securities will terminate; and

(8)                
if applicable, that the redemption may be rescinded by the Company, at its sole option, pursuant to Section 11.09 of this
Indenture upon the occurrence of a Redemption Rescission Event.

Notice of redemption
of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by

Section 11.05.           
Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date and subject to Section 11.09, 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 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that
date. If any Security to be redeemed is converted into Common Stock or other securities, any money so deposited with the Trustee
or a Paying Agent shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then so segregated and held in trust by the Company,
shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 11.06.           
Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, subject to Section 11.09, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear
interest and any rights to convert such Securities shall terminate. Upon surrender of such Securities for redemption in accordance
with the notice and subject to Section 11.09, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price. Unless otherwise
provided with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, installments of interest the Stated Maturity of which is on
or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant Regular Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

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

Section 11.07.           
Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency
of the Company in the Place of Payment with respect to that series (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 his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity and of like
tenor and terms, 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.

Section 11.08.           
Provisions with Respect to Any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise,
in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Securities in cash, the
Company may at its option (1) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the
Company or converted by the Holder thereof into Common Stock or other securities, or (2) receive credit for any Securities of such
series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company (including by way of optional redemption (pursuant to the sinking fund
or otherwise but not by way of mandatory sinking fund redemption) or converted by the Holder thereof into Common Stock or other
securities and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and if it does so then (i) Securities so delivered or credited
shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, and (ii) on or before
the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to such series of Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee (A) an Officers’ Certificate specifying the portions of such sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment
of cash and by delivery or credit of Securities of such series acquired by the Company or converted by the Holder thereof, and
(B) such Securities, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such Officers’ Certificate shall also state the basis for
such credit and that the Securities for which the Company elects to receive credit have not been previously so credited and were
not acquired by the Company through operation of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided with respect to such Securities and
shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing. All Securities
so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof.

If the sinking fund
payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of any
preceding sinking fund payments with respect to

49

Securities of such
series made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms
of such series of Securities, that cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Securities
of such series next following the date of such payment to the redemption of Securities of such series at the applicable sinking
fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for
redemption, with the effect provided in Section 11.06. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 11.03, for redemption
on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to utilize that cash and shall
thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series for the sinking fund to be given in the manner provided in
Section 11.04 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.06) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Company.
Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added
to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such
payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.08. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect
to Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of such series, and not held for the payment or redemption
of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited
sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity.

On or before each
sinking fund Redemption Date provided with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash a
sum equal to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption
Date pursuant to this Section 11.08.

Section 11.09.           
Rescission of Redemption. In the event that this Section 11.09 is specified to be applicable to a series of Securities pursuant
to Section 3.01 and a Redemption Rescission Event shall occur following any day on which a notice of redemption shall have been
given pursuant to Section 11.04 hereof but at or prior to the time and date fixed for redemption as set forth in such notice of
redemption, the Company may, at its sole option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on that day which
is two Trading Days following such Redemption Rescission Event and (ii) the time and date fixed for redemption as set forth in
such notice, rescind the redemption to which such notice of redemption shall have related by making a public announcement of such
rescission (the date on which such public announcement shall have been made being hereinafter referred to as the “Rescission
Date”). The Company shall be deemed to have made such announcement if it shall issue a release to the Dow Jones New Service,
Reuters Information Services or any successor news wire service. From and after the making of such announcement, the Company shall
have no obligation to redeem Securities called for redemption pursuant to such notice of redemption or to pay the Redemption Price
therefor and all rights of Holders of Securities shall be restored as if such notice of redemption had not been given. As promptly
as practicable following the making of such announcement, the Company shall telephonically notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent
of such rescission. The Company shall give notice of any such rescission by first−class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as
promptly as practicable but in no event later than the close of business on that day which is five Trading Days following the Rescission

that such form must be properly completed and received by the Company no later than the close of business on a date that shall
be 15 Trading Days following the date of the mailing of such notice of rescission.

GUARANTEES

Section 12.01.           
Guarantees. Any series of Securities may be guaranteed by one or more of the Subsidiaries of the Company or other Persons.
The terms and the form of any such Guarantee will be established in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for the particular
series of Securities. Each Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will fully, irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantee, to each Holder of Securities (including each Holder of Securities issued under the Indenture after the date of this
Indenture) and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual

50

payment of principal
of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary
obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities and (ii) the full and
punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities.

(a)Each
of the Guarantors further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of the absence or existence
of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor (except to the extent
such judgment is paid) or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities to the extent that any
such action or any similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (except that
each such waiver or amendment shall be effective in accordance with its terms).

(b)Each
of the Guarantors further agrees that each Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance and not merely
of collection.

(c)Each
of the Guarantors further agrees to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any other Person,
and also waives diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for nonpayment,
the filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company or any other Person and any right to require
a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person. The obligations of the Guarantors shall not be affected by any failure
or policy on the part of the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Securities of any series.

(d)The
obligation of each Guarantor to make any payment hereunder may be satisfied by causing the Company or any other Person to make
such payment. If any Holder of any Security or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any
Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or any Guarantor,
any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of such Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged,
shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e)Each
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in enforcing any of their respective rights under its Guarantees.

(f)Any
term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of each of the Guarantees shall
not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor without rendering the relevant Guarantee under this
Indenture voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.
