(f)    The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue upon Closing  a 2006 ALTA form Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”), as evidenced by a  “marked up” Title Commitment, defined below, insuring Purchaser as owner of fee simple title  to the Property, together with all other property conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to the Related  Agreement, if any, subject only to Permitted Exceptions (including any “Permitted Exceptions”  under the Related Agreement with respect to any property conveyed thereby defined below), in  the amount of $58,000,000.00, and containing such endorsements as Purchaser shall have  requested.                (g)    Subject to Sections 14 and 15 below, there shall have been no material  adverse change in the condition of any of the Property (including without limitation any  Improvements) after expiration of the Inspection Period and prior to the Closing Date.                                                                                  6

(i)    The Related Agreement shall be in full force and effect and shall not have  been terminated, and the closing thereunder shall be taking place simultaneously with the  Closing under this Agreement.

Purchaser shall have  until the date that is twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to object to  any matters shown on the Title Commitment or Survey by written notice to Seller (“Title  Objection Notice”).  Purchaser may also object to any new matters thereafter revealed by a title  update by subsequent Title Objection Notice to Seller.  Within five (5) business days after receipt  of Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, Seller may provide written notice to Buyer either that  Seller elects to cure or satisfy such objections (or commence to cure or satisfy such objections as                                                                                 7  

 

 long as Seller reasonably believes such objections may be cured or satisfied at least two (2)   business days prior to Closing), or that Seller elects not to cure or satisfy such objections.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, within five (5) business   days after receipt of Seller’s notification (or deemed notification) that Seller elects not to cure a   title or Survey objection, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of   the Earnest Money by delivering written notice of termination to Seller.  If Purchaser does not so   terminate this Agreement, then any such title or Survey objection which Seller elects not to cure   shall be deemed waived by Purchaser and shall be an additional Permitted Exception.  If any   objection which Seller elects to cure is not satisfied by Seller at least two (2) business days   before the scheduled date of Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement,   in which case the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any   further rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement.  If Seller does cure or satisfy the   objections at least two (2) business days prior to Closing, then this Agreement shall continue in   effect.  Any exception to or defect in title which Purchaser shall elect to waive, or which is   otherwise acceptable to Purchaser, shall be deemed an additional Permitted Exception to title at   Closing.  Seller covenants and agrees not to alter or encumber in any way Seller’s title to the   Property after the Effective Date hereof.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the   contrary, Seller shall cause any deed of trust, mortgage, deed to secure debt, judgment or other   lien for a liquidated sum encumbering the Property to be released at or before Closing.  Without   limiting any of the foregoing, Purchaser may, in its discretion, elect to cause Title Company to   issue a single title commitment covering all real property described in this Agreement and the   Related Agreement and deliver a single global Title Objection Notice to Seller.            11.

(m)   Except as otherwise provided in, or contemplated by, the ESC, neither the  Seller, nor to Seller’s actual knowledge, any other party, has ever caused or permitted any  “hazardous material” (as hereinafter defined) to be placed, held, located, or disposed of on,  under, or at the Property or any part thereof in forms or concentrations which violate applicable  laws and regulations, and, to Seller’s knowledge, neither the Property nor any part thereof has  ever been used as a dump or storage site (whether permanent or temporary) for any hazardous  material.

Purchaser hereby   covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to insure that neither Purchaser   nor Purchaser’s agents, employees and independent contractors interfere with, harm, impede,   interrupt, halt, delay, or in any way disturb the regular operation of the enterprise(s) and   activities underway at the Property. Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend   and hold harmless Seller from any and all loss, liability, cost, claim, lien, demand, damage,   action, cause of action and suit arising out of or in any manner related to the exercise by   Purchaser of Purchaser’s rights under this section (but not from the existence of any condition   discovered in the course of Purchaser’s inspections and testing).           14.

If   Purchaser elects to purchase after receipt of such a notice, all actions taken by Seller with regard   to such eminent domain proceedings, including but not limited to, negotiations, litigation,   settlement, appraisals and appeals, shall be subject to the approval of Purchaser, which approval   shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If Purchaser does not make such election within the   aforesaid time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close the transactions   contemplated hereby in accordance with clause (b) above.          15.   Property Damage.  If, after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, the Property   shall suffer significant damage as the result of fire or other casualty, Seller shall immediately   notify Purchaser in writing.  In the event said damage results in damage of the improvements   situated on the Property in the amount of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or                                                                                   11  

 

 greater, Purchaser shall have the right to elect within fifteen (15) days from and after such notice,   by written notice, one of the following: (a) not to close the transaction contemplated hereby, in   which event all Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be void   and of no further force and effect, except with respect to those covenants and obligations that   expressly survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;   or (b) to close the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby in accordance with its terms but   subject to such damage, in which event the Purchase Price shall remain the same and Seller shall   transfer and assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds received or to be received as a   result of such damage. If Purchaser does not make such election within the aforesaid time period,   Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close the transactions contemplated hereby in   accordance with clause (b) above.  In the event less than Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars   ($10,000.00) of damage to the improvements situated on the Property exists, this Agreement   shall remain in full force and effect, but, at Closing, Seller shall transfer and assign to Purchaser   all insurance proceeds received or to be received as a result of such damage.          16.   Condition of Property.  Subsequent to the Effective Date and prior to Closing,   Seller shall maintain the Property in accordance with its past practices and ordinary maintenance,   but shall not be required to provide any extraordinary maintenance.          17.   Operations.  After the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall   neither enter into any new, nor terminate, modify, extend, amend or renew any existing, lease or  service, management, maintenance, repair, employment, union, construction, leasing or other  contract or agreement affecting the Property (each, a “New Agreement”) unless Purchaser has   approved the same in writing in its sole discretion.           18.

Remedies.  If this transaction fails to close by reason of Purchaser’s breach of this   Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages, the parties  hereby acknowledging that Seller’s actual damages in such circumstances would be difficult, if  not impossible, to determine, and that this liquidated damages provision is neither a penalty nor  unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the Effective Date.  Seller expressly  acknowledges and agrees that retention of the Earnest Money as provided for herein shall be  Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Purchaser’s failure to perform its obligations                                                                                   12

Other rights and remedies available at law for Seller’s breach, including an action   for damages, shall be available to Purchaser only if an action for specific performance is not   available due to the actions of Seller. Seller waives the right to assert the defense of the lack of   mutuality in any suit for specific performance instituted by Purchaser.  Without limiting the   foregoing, Purchaser shall also be entitled to obtain its attorneys’ fees and costs in connection   with enforcing its rights and remedies under this Agreement.          20.

 SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record
Dates. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive and may be relied upon by the Trustee, the Company, and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

  
 9 

 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of 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 a Person acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 

(c) The fact and date of the execution by any Person 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 and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine. 

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

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of, transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the
Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount. 

(f) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant
to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company
from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no 

  
 10 

 
action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission or
annulment of any such declaration, referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any
Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to
each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice
of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated
with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its
right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

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

 SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed to or with the Trustee in writing at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or 

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee
by the Company, Attention: General Counsel. 
 Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be deemed to have received any such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders unless given, furnished or filed as provided in this Section 105. 

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such electronic instructions or directions, subsequent to the
transmission thereof, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party
providing such instructions or directions. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions or directions notwithstanding
such instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction or direction or if the subsequent written instruction or direction is never received. The party providing instructions or directions by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, as aforesaid, agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the
Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In 

  
 12 

 
any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

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

SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a
part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 

SECTION 302. Denominations. 
 The
Securities of each series shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301. 

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, any Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

  
 18 

 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, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If
the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in
relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 601) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 

(i) if the form or terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or indenture
supplemental hereto as permitted by Section 301, that such form or terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, 

(ii) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity; and 

(iii) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been
complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued
at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Company Order otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such Company Order is delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, 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 

  
 19 

 
Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in
Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Minor typographical and other minor errors in the text of any Security shall not affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it
has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. 
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or
more Global Securities with respect to each series of Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the initially issued Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name
of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form required in
Section 202. 
 The Depositary must, at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines in good faith that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to existing Holders. 
 SECTION  304. Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of any series in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
without charge to the Holder. 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
the same series of authorized denominations and having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 

  
 20 

 SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

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

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, of
the same original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such
Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary. 

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities, of the same series of any authorized denominations, of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same 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 Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

If at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary
shall cease to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary. If a successor Depositary 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, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and make available for delivery,
individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

  
 21 

 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion (subject to the procedures of the
Depositary) determine that individual Securities issued 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 Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and make available for delivery, individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities
representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 The Depositary may surrender a Global Security in
exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, without service
charge: 
 (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual Security or Securities of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and 

(ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
 Upon the
exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual 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 Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall make available for delivery such individual Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

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

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

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, Section 906 or
Section 1108 not involving any transfer. 

  
 22 

 Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this
Section: (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected
for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article Eleven and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of notice of redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof that is not redeemed. 
 SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may
be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue and series, of like tenor and principal amount,
having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Interest Rate as such mutilated Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the issuing Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal
amount, having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Interest Rate as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and 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 duly issued hereunder. 

  
 23 

 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 307. Payment of
Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Security of any series 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 in respect of Securities of such
series. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to the related series of Securities. 
 Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 

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

  
 24 

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

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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 308. 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 any premium and (subject to Section 307) any 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, the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar, shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, a direct or
indirect participant in the Depositary (“Agent Member”) or any other Person (other than the Depositary) with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership
interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to
such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the
Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures thereof. The Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Security Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its
members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary,
and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this 

  
 25 

 
Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to
the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Security Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of
any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member
and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depositary and
owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security. 

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar or any agent of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Security Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by,
and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

SECTION  309. Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its 

  
 26 

 
customary procedures or as directed by a Company Order; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy Securities. The Trustee shall deliver to the Company a
certificate evidencing the disposition of the cancelled Securities upon its request therefor. Acquisition by the Company of any Security shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Security unless and
until the same is delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION  310. Computation of Interest. 

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

SECTION  311. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing any series of the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such
series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 SECTION  312. Original Issue Discount 

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

Securities of a series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for) and the Trustee at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities, when: 
 (1) either 

  
 27 

 (A) all such Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money 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 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

(i) have become due and payable, or 

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

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements 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
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds: (A) money; (B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
than one day before the due date of any payment, money; or (C) a combination thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
(which shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 102) thereof delivered to the Trustee of such series (which opinion need only be provided if Government Obligations have been so deposited), to pay and discharge, and which shall be
applied by the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee 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; 
 (2) the Company has paid
or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such Securities; 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 such Securities have been complied
with. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 607, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money and/or Government Obligations shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this
Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

  
 28 

 SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 401 and all proceeds of such Governmental Obligations and the interest thereon, shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of the applicable series 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 any premium and interest for whose payment such money
and Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account
of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 401 with respect to any Securities 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 the satisfaction and discharge with respect to such Securities. 

ARTICLE FIVE 
 REMEDIES 

SECTION 501. Events of Default. 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body): 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; or 
 (2) default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of that
series at its Maturity; or 

  
 29 

 (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or the breach of which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of
60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written
notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Principal
Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed
and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or 
 (5) the commencement by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary of a voluntary case
or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law; or 
 (6) any other Event
of Default specified with respect to Securities of that series as contemplated in Section 301. 
 SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5)) with
respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(4) or Section 501(5) with respect to Securities of a series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or specified amount) shall automatically, and without any declaration or
other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

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

  
 30 

 (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 

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

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal (or a specified portion of the principal) of and interest on Securities of that series which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 513. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

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

The Company covenants that if: 

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, on any Security at the Maturity thereof,

 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest, including, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal or
premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities,
wherever situated. 

  
 31 

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

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors: 

(a) the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(i) to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding, and 
 (ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 506; and 
 (b) any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with Section 506,
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or
other similar committee. 

  
 32 

 SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

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

 SECTION  506. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article or, after an
Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money or property on account of principal or any premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 607; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of Securities 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 series of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, its successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously
given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 
 (2) the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series 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 reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request; 

  
 33 

 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of
such Holders. 
 SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 509.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 
 SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

  
 34 

 SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 507, every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 512. Control
by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly
prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities not joining in the action; and 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 

(1) in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series; or 

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any 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. 

  
 35 

 SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such
suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any such party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any
court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, or any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or in the case of redemption, the Redemption Date).

and Responsibilities. 
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may 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, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein). 

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

(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 (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of
Subsections (a) or (d) of this Section; 

  
 36 

 (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; and

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, determined as provided
herein, 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.

 (d) 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 believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(e) 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 601. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be responsible
for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. 
 SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults. 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that, except in the case of a default of the character specified in Section 501(1) or Section 501(2), the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided,
further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the

 37 

 SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

(1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,

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 at the sole
cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

Security Registrar or any other role assumed by the Trustee hereunder or to which it has been appointed with respect to the Securities issued hereunder. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s
right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal and final payment of the Securities; 
 (8) the Trustee is
not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture; 

  
 38

Default hereunder except (i) during any period it is serving as Paying Agent for the Securities of a series, any Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1) or Section 501(2), or (ii) any default or Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer shall have received written notification at its Corporate Trust Office from the Company or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the series with respect to which such default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and such notice references the Securities and the Indenture. The term “default” as used in this Section 603 shall mean any event which is, or after notice of lapse of time or both would become,
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of a series; and 
 (10) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture (other than the payment of debt service on the Securities from moneys furnished to it pursuant hereto), whether at the request or direction of the Holders or any other Person, pursuant to this

or powers. 
 (11) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably

such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (13) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any
person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 608 and Section 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall

 SECTION 607.
Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing

(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 reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents or attorneys), except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may be attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of it or of its agents or attorneys; and 
 (3) to indemnify, defend
and to hold the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred without gross negligence or

any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection therewith or with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this
Section.

of the Holders of particular Securities. 
 In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture or applicable
law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination for any reason of this Indenture, the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee;
provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 

SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

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

To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a

States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or, in the case of the initial
Trustee hereunder, have a combined capital and surplus meeting the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and be a wholly owned subsidiary of a Person that would otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of this Section), and (iv)

  
 41 

 
be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Person files 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 Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed. If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six. 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. 

SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
 The Trustee may
resign as Trustee at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to
the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee may be removed as Trustee hereunder at any time with respect to the Securities of any series
by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If at any time an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 calendar days after the date a notice of removal is delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee being removed may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or 
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 

  
 42 

 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or
(B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that
or those series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall be appointed by Act of 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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in
the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

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

  
 43 

 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor
trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be
deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as
the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person 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. 

  
 44 

 SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 
 SECTION 614.
Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306,
and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication
and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America,
any State, Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.
If such Authenticating Agent files 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 filed. 

If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Person 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. 

  
 45 

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. 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 as agreed
to in writing between the parties. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities
of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

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

such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that all conditions precedent have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties, protections, privileges, indemnities, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 904.
Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be
modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 

SECTION 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 

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

  
 52 

 SECTION 906. 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 of any series 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 of such series. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
 Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company shall pay interest on overdue amounts at the rate borne or prescribed therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue interest at the same rate (to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which interest on overdue interest shall accrue from the date such amounts became overdue. 

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

So long as any Securities remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and each other Place
of Payment for any series, an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, and an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purposes. The Company will give written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

  
 53 

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of
any such other office or agency. 
 SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of or any 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, premium, if any, and any interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and, if applicable, will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities,
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 as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee), if applicable, the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
applicable to it as a Paying Agent, (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, 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 or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money or Government Obligation (including any proceeds thereof and the interest thereon) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent,
or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company upon Company Request (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or 

  
 54 

 
abandoned or unclaimed property law) or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and
all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 SECTION 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default. 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before May 1 of each year ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate
covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture and, if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 SECTION 1005.
Existence. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its legal existence. 
 SECTION 1006. Limitation on Liens on Stock of Principal Subsidiaries. 

(a) So long as Securities are outstanding, the Company will not, and it will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, at any time directly
or indirectly create, assume, incur or permit to exist any Lien on any voting securities of Principal Subsidiaries, or the voting securities of a Subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, the voting securities of any of the Principal
Subsidiaries (whether such voting securities are now owned or hereafter acquired) securing indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary without making effective provision whereby the Securities of each series then Outstanding (and, if the Company
so elects, any other Indebtedness of the Company with respect to which the governing instruments require, or pursuant to which the Company is otherwise obligated or required, to provide such security), other than series which by their terms are not
entitled to the benefits of this Section, shall be equally and ratably secured with, or prior to, such secured Indebtedness; it being understood that in such event the Company may also secure any other such Indebtedness of the Company or such
Principal Subsidiary entitled thereto, subject to any applicable priority of payment. For purposes of this Section 1006 only, “Indebtedness”, in addition to those items specified in Section 101 hereof, shall include any
obligation of, or any such obligation guaranteed by, any Person for the payment of amounts due under a swap agreement or other similar instrument or agreement or foreign currency hedge exchange or similar instrument or agreement. 

(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section shall not, however, apply to any Indebtedness secured by any one or more of the
following: 
 (1) Liens on voting securities existing at the time of the direct or indirect acquisition of such securities by the Company or
a Subsidiary; 

  
 55 

 (2) Liens securing Indebtedness of a Subsidiary owing to the Company or to a wholly-owned
Subsidiary; and 
 (3) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any
Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), inclusive; provided, however, that the principal amount of such Indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness so secured at the time
of such extension, renewal or replacement. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1006, the Company and any
one more Subsidiaries may without securing any of the Securities issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by any Lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries issued, assumed or guaranteed under the provisions of this subsection (c) (not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under Section 1006(b)) does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets, as calculated by reference to the balance sheet contained in the Company’s most recent quarterly financial statements. 

SECTION 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, covenant or condition set forth in any covenant provided
pursuant to Section 301(j) or Section 901(5) for the benefit of the Holders or in Section 1006 with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 1101.
Company’s Right of Redemption. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of a particular series, and notwithstanding any additional redemption rights that may be so specified, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of any series after their date of issuance in whole or in part at any time
and from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Section 1101 and the other provisions of this Article Eleven. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of a particular series, the
redemption price for any Security so redeemed shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and 

  
 56 

 
unpaid interest up to but excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 307, unless otherwise so specified. 
 SECTION 1102. Applicability of Article. 

Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, as permitted by any form of Security issued pursuant to this Indenture, shall be made
in accordance with such form of Security and this Article Eleven; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form of Security shall
govern. Except as otherwise set forth in the form of Security for such series, each Security shall be subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000. 

SECTION 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the
election of the Company of Securities of a series, the Company shall, at least 45 days (or 35 days in the case of a redemption in whole of a Global Security) but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption
of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or (b) 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 and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

SECTION 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), 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 not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate
and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security, provided that with respect to Securities represented by one or more Global Securities, beneficial interests therein shall be
selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its customary procedures therefor, provided further that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which
shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), 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 and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 

  
 57 

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

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such
Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to
the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct,
Securities registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. 

SECTION 1105. Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of a particular series, notice of redemption shall
be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register. Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities. 
 All notices of
redemption shall include the CUSIP number and state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the
case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the
particular Security to be redeemed; 
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such
Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; 

  
 58 

 (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price; and 
 (6) the CUSIP number, if any. 

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 and with the notice information provided to the Trustee, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable, provided, in the latter case, the Company will give the Trustee at least five Business
Day’s prior notice of the date of the giving of the notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security. 
 SECTION 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given pursuant to Section 1105, the Securities to be so redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become
due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear or accrue any interest. Upon
surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307, unless in connection with a Redemption Date falling on an Interest Payment Date, the Securities of a particular series provide that
interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that is a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person whom principal is payable. 
 If any
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

  
 59 

 SECTION 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or 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 like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 1201. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1202 or Section 1203 applied to any Securities upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. 
 SECTION 1202. Defeasance and
Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1204 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For
this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar
as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Section 304, Section 305, Section 306, Section 1002 and Section 1003; (2) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder; and (3) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have
Section 1203 applied to such Securities. 
 SECTION 1203. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities (1) the Company shall be released
from its obligations under Section 801(b), Section 1006, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(j) or Section 901(5) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified
in Section 501(3) (with respect to any of Section 801(b), Section 1006, 

  
 60 

 
and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(j) or Section 901(5) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as
provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1204 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities,
the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(3)), whether directly or indirectly
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected
thereby. 
 SECTION 1204. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1202 or Section 1203 to any Securities: 

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money, or (B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later
than one day before the due date of any payment, money, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
(which shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 102) thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and
any premium and interest on such Securities due on or before the respective Stated Maturities or the Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. 

(2) In the event of an election to have Section 1202 apply to any Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to
be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 

(3) In the event of an election to have Section 1203 apply to any Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to
Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 

  
 61 

 (4) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Section 501(4) and Section 501(5), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the
date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (5) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any indenture or other agreement or instrument for borrowed money to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 

(6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under the Investment Company Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 

(7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 (8) If such Securities are to be redeemed,
either notice of such redemption shall have been given or the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable directions to give notice of such redemption in the name, and at the expense of, the Company, under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee. 
 SECTION 1205. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1206, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1204 in
respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1204 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding
Securities. 

  
 62 

 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1204 with respect to any Securities 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 the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to
such Securities. 
 SECTION 1206. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 1205 with respect to any Securities by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to
Section 1202 or 1203 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 1205 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 

SECTION 1207. Qualifying Trustee. 

Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 1204 for the purpose of holding trust funds deposited pursuant to that Section shall be
appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for
herein to the related Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee. 

*                
*                 *
