 All Securities of any one Series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination, except as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph,
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time, and unless otherwise provided, a Series may be
reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such Series. 
 SECTION 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Securities. At any time
and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with
an Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that in connection with its original
issuance, no Unregistered Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided, further, that an Unregistered Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the
Person entitled to receive such Unregistered Security shall have furnished a certificate in the form designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3 dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Unregistered
Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Unregistered Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a
permanent global Unregistered Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 2.11, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global
Security shall be deemed to be delivered in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global Unregistered Security. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 
 (1) an Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities are not to be delivered to
the Company; 
  

 10 

 (2) any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate and/or supplemental indenture
referred to in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 by or pursuant to which the forms of the Securities of any such Series were established; 
 (3) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the form and terms of the Securities stating that the form and terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to Section 2.1 and 2.3 and comply with this Indenture, and covering
such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; 
 (4) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 
 (a) the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and comply with this Indenture;

 (b) the authentication and delivery of such Securities by the Trustee are authorized under the provisions of this
Indenture; 
 (c) 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; 
 (d) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company have been complied with; and 
 (e) covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 
 If all the Securities of any Series are not to be issued
at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first delivery, any separate written request by an Officer of the Company or any person designated in writing by an Officer that the Trustee authenticate and deliver Securities of
such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with and that
no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities has occurred or is continuing. 
 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 that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  

 11 

 SECTION 2.5 Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by
the Chairman of its Board of Directors or its president or any vice president or its treasurer or any assistant treasurer. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Company
may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Any Coupons attached to any Unregistered Security shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of any
such officer of the Company. 
 In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities or Coupons shall cease to be
such officer before the Security or Coupon so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security or Coupon nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who
signed such Security or Coupon had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be the
proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer. 
 SECTION 2.6 Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the
manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall not authenticate or deliver any Unregistered Security until any matured Coupons appertaining thereto have been detached and canceled, except as otherwise provided or permitted by this Indenture.

 SECTION 2.7 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities shall be issuable in denominations as shall
be specified as contemplated by Section 2.3. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any Series, Registered Securities of such Series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof, and
Unregistered Securities of such Series shall be issuable in denominations of $5,000, and interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in
such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. 
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, each Unregistered Security shall be dated as of the date of original issuance of
the first Security of such Series to be issued, shall bear interest from the date and shall be payable on the dates, in each case, which shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.3. 
  

 12 

 Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest
payment date shall be paid, in the case of Registered Securities, 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 the payment of such interest
and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, upon surrender of the Coupon appertaining thereto in respect of the interest due on such interest payment date. 
 The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except for a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities of any
particular Series, or, if no such date is so specified, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the close of business on the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the
fifteenth day of a calendar month, the close of business on the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day. 
 Any interest on any Security of any Series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date (called “defaulted interest” for the purpose of this Section) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause
(1) or clause (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any defaulted interest to the persons in
whose names any such Registered Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such Series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest in respect of Registered Securities of such Series
which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special record date thereof to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Registered Holder at
his address as it appears in the Security register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
defaulted interest in respect of Registered Securities of such Series shall be paid to the person in whose names such Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date and such defaulted interest
shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
  

 13 

 (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 that Series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company
to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Any defaulted
interest payable in respect of any Security of any Series which is not a Registered Security shall be payable pursuant to such procedures as may be satisfactory to the Trustee in such manner that there is no discrimination as between the Holders of
Registered Securities and other Securities of the same Series, and notice of the payment date therefor shall be given by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner specified in Section 11.4. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon 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
2.8 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 for each Series of Securities a register or registers in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Registered Securities as in this Article provided. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being
converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. 
 Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any Series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of the same Series in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any Series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same Series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any 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. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, Unregistered Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered
Securities. 
 At the option of the Holder, Unregistered Securities of any Series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same
Series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, and all matured Coupons, if
any, in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of an Unregistered Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the
Unregistered Securities are accompanied by 

  

 14 

 
payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon
or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case an Unregistered Security of any
Series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same Series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on any record date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the relevant interest payment date, such Unregistered Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such interest payment date and interest will not be payable on such interest payment date in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Unregistered Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of such Series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and
denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive
Securities of that Series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global
Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the depositary holding such global security and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and such depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with
Section 11.5 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities of
the same Series without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered permanent global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series
of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which (unless the Securities of the Series are not issuable both as Unregistered Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case
the definitive Securities exchanged for the permanent global Security shall be issuable only in the form which the Securities are issuable, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3) shall be in the form of Unregistered Securities or
Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of
Securities of that Series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that no Unregistered Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to
any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to the 

  

 15 

 
depositary or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is
issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom
interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Upon
presentation for registration of any Unregistered Securities of any Series which by its terms is registrable as to principal, at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, such Security shall be registered
as to principal in the name of the Holder thereof and such registration shall be noted on such Security. Any Security so registered shall be transferable on the registry books of the Company upon presentation of such Security at such office or
agency for similar notation thereon, but such Security may be discharged from registration by being in a like manner transferred to bearer, whereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored. Unregistered Securities shall continue to be subject
to successive registrations and discharges from registration at the option of the Holders thereof. 
 Unregistered Securities shall be
transferable by delivery, except while registered as to principal. Registration of any Coupon Security shall not effect the transferability by delivery of the Coupons appertaining thereto which shall continue to be payable to bearer and transferable
by delivery. 
 All Securities and Coupons issued upon any 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 and Coupons surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 8.5 or 12.3 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series to be redeemed and
ending at the close of business on (A) if Securities of the Series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if Securities of the Series are issuable as Unregistered
Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of 

  

 16 

 
redemption or, if Securities of the Series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to exchange any
Unregistered Security so selected for redemption except that such an Unregistered Security may be exchange for a Registered Security of that Series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for
redemption. 
 All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the
same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 SECTION
2.9 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or Coupon shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon an
Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same Series or Coupon, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon, or in lieu of
and substitution for the Security or Coupon so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and to any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the
ownership thereof. 
 Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, 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. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature or
has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security or Coupon, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except
in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save
each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. 
 Every substitute Security of any Series or Coupon issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such Series or Coupons duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities or Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by the law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced, 

  

 17 

 
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Securities, Destruction Thereof. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund and
all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange, shall, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no
Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof, except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such cancelled Securities and Coupons in accordance with its customary practices. If the
Company shall acquire any of the Securities and Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities and Coupons unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.11 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, or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of any Series issuable as Unregistered Securities, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if
temporary Securities of any Series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that Series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such Series, the temporary Securities of such
Series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such Series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such Series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 3.2 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities
of such Series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any Series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto) the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Unregistered Security
shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Unregistered Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Unregistered Security only in compliance with the
conditions set forth in Section 2.4. 
 If temporary Securities of any Series are issued in global form, any such temporary global
Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to a European office of a depositary or common depositary (the “Common Depositary”), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the
beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). 
  

 18 

 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant
to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, or,
if so specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, a permanent global Security, in either case, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as
the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global
Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in
exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, and, if any
combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary
global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange
Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3; and provided,
further, that definitive Unregistered Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.4. 
 Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a Series in a temporary global Security
shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security,
any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that
such Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered on exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered
only outside the United States. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any Series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same Series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, interest
payable on a temporary global Security on an interest payment date for Securities of such Series occurring prior to the 

  

 19 

 
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream. on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the
Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3, for credit without further interest on or after such interest payment date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial
owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3. Any interest so
received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee and then to the Company in accordance with Section 10.4. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Common Depository. 
 SECTION 2.12 Compliance with Certain Laws and Regulations. If any Unregistered Securities are to be issued in any Series of Securities, the Company will use reasonable efforts to provide for arrangements and
procedures designed pursuant to then applicable laws and regulations, if any, to ensure that Unregistered Securities are sold or resold, exchanged, transferred and paid only in compliance with such laws and regulations and without adverse
consequences to the Company. 
 SECTION 2.13 Appointment of Agents With Respect to Certain Calculations. The Company may appoint an
Agent or Agents with respect to one or more Series of Securities which Agent or Agents shall be authorized to determine the rate or rates of interest applicable to the Securities of any Series from time to time in effect, the amount of principal or
premium, if any, payable on the Securities of any Series and the rates of exchange applicable to the Securities of any Series denominated in a currency other than United States dollars from time to time in effect, all in accordance with the terms of
the Securities of such Series. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to any such calculation by the Trustee, it shall be deemed to refer to the calculation by such agent or agents. Such agent, upon calculating the amounts so to be calculated
pursuant to the terms of the Securities of any Series shall communicate promptly in writing the amounts so calculated to the Company and the Trustee. Absent manifest error, all amounts so calculated shall be binding on the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders of the Securities of such Series. 
 Any such agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company and to
the Trustee. The Company may at any time terminate the agency of any such agent by giving written notice thereof to such agent and to the Trustee. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Company may appoint a
successor agent and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 11.4. 
 SECTION 2.14 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided that 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.

  

 20 

 SECTION 2.15 Agreed Tax Treatment. Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company
and, by its acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Security agree that for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such
Security constitute indebtedness. 
 ARTICLE Three 
 COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER 
 SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such Series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such Series, any
Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. 
 The interest on Unregistered Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they mature. The interest on any temporary Unregistered Security shall be paid, as to any installment of interest evidenced by a Coupon attached thereto, if any,
only upon presentation and surrender of such Coupon, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. 
 SECTION 3.2 Offices for Payment, etc. If Securities of a Series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain an office or
agency where Securities of that Series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that Series and this Indenture may be served. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, if Securities of a Series are issuable as Registered Securities and/or Unregistered Securities, the Company will maintain
(A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in the City of Chicago, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that Series may be
surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that Series and this Indenture may be served and where Unregistered Securities of that Series and related Coupons may be presented or
surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise), (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that Series and
related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 3.6); provided, however, that if the Securities of that Series are
listed on The International Stock Exchange, London, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of
that Series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that Series are listed on such exchange, and (C) subject to any laws or 

  

 21 

 
regulations applicable thereto, outside the United States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that Series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that Series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that Series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any Series of Securities
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that Series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that
Unregistered Securities of that Series and the related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Unregistered Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 3.6) at an office
maintained by the Trustee in New York, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, no payment of principal or interest on Unregistered Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check
mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States, provided, however, that, if the Securities of a Series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any Unregistered Security (including any additional amounts payable on Securities of such Series pursuant to Section 3.6) shall be made at the office of the Company’s Paying Agent in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the City of Chicago, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or additional amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United
States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more Series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for
Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3, the Trustee is appointed Paying Agent and Registrar. 
 SECTION 3.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.4 Paying Agents. Whenever the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series,
it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, 
  

 22 

 (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such Agent for the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Securities of such Series or Coupons (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such Series or Coupons) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series
or of the Trustee, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pay over all such sums received by it to the Trustee, 
 (b) that it will
give the Trustee written notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such Series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series or Coupons when the same shall be due and
payable, and 
 (c) that it will give the Trustee written notice of any change of address of any Holder of which it is aware. 
 The Company will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series or Coupons, deposit with the Paying Agent
a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action. 
 If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any Series or Coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series or Coupons, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series or Holders of such Coupons a sum sufficient to pay such principal or
interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action. 
 Anything in this
Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities or Coupons hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be
paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such Series by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of
Sections 10.3 and 10.4. 
 SECTION 3.5 [Reserved] 
 SECTION 3.6 Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a Series provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such Series or any Coupon appertaining thereto
additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal or premium, if any, of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any Series or payment of any related Coupon
or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any Series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in this Section to 

  

 23 

 
the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express
mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 If the Securities of a Series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to
that Series of Securities (or if the Securities of that Series will not bear interest prior to maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the
Trustee, with an Officer’s Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that Series or any
related Coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that Series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or Coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section.
The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions
taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
 ARTICLE Four 

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE 
 ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 4.1 Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Securityholders.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Registered Securities of each Series:

 (a) semiannually and not more than 10 days after each record date for the payment of interest on such Securities, as
hereinabove specified, as of such record date and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.3 for non-interest bearing securities in each year, and 
 (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request as of a
date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished, 
 provided that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security registrar
for such Series, such list shall not be required to be furnished but in any event the Company shall be required to furnish such information concerning the Holders of Unregistered Securities which is known to it; provided, further, that the Company
shall have no obligation to investigate any matter relating to any Holder of an Unregistered Security or any Holder of a Coupon. 
  

 24 

 SECTION 4.2 Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders’ Lists. (a) The Trustee shall
preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of each Series of Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 or maintained by
the Trustee in its capacity as Security registrar for such Series, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
 (b) In case three or more Holders of Securities (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the
Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities
of a particular Series (in which case the applicants must all hold Securities of such Series) or with Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and such application is accompanied by a copy
of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either 
 (i) afford to such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (a) of this Section, or 
 (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities
of such Series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and as to the approximate cost
of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 
 If the Trustee shall
elect not to afford to such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Securityholder of such Series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear in the
information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a
tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission
together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such Series or all Securities, as the case
may be, or could be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an
order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of such order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met,
and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such 

  

 25 

 
Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 
 (c) Each and every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the
same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material
pursuant to a request made under such subsection (b). 
 SECTION 4.3 Reports by the Company. The Company covenants: 
 (a) to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual
reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commissioner may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and if the Company is not required to file information, documents, or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee and
the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents, and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; 
 (b) to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission,
such additional information, documents, and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and 
 (c) to transmit by mail to the Holders of Securities in the manner required by Sections 11.4, within 30 days after the filing thereof with
the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents, and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to subsection (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required to be transmitted to such Holders by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission; and 
 (d) to furnish to the Trustee, not less often than annually, commencing
on May 15, 2007 a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants
under this Indenture. For purposes of this paragraph, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture. 
  

 26 

 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 SECTION 4.4 Reports by the
Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If
required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, within sixty days after each May 1 following the date of the initial issuance of Securities under this Indenture deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such
May 1, which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a). 
 (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Securityholders, be furnished to the Company and be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities of any applicable Series are listed and also with the Commission. The Company agrees to promptly notify the
Trustee with respect to any Series when and as the Securities of such Series become admitted to trading on any national securities exchange and of any delisting therefrom.

the Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (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 Securities of such
Series and the interest (including Additional Interest) accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable; and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser
amount and all accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest and all other amounts due with respect to such Securities shall
remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article 13 
 If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) (if the Event of
Default under clause (d) or (g) is with respect to all Series of Securities then Outstanding), shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Security holders), may 

  

 28 

 
declare the entire principal of all the Securities then Outstanding and interest accrued (including Additional Interest) thereon to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an event of default described in clause (e) or (f) shall have occurred, the principal of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder,
together with interest accrued thereon, shall become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder. 
 The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof)
of the Securities of any Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter
provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all
Securities of such Series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such Series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields
to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit), and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other fees and expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due
by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein - then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of such Series, each Series treated as a separate
class (or of all the Securities, as the case may be, treated as a single class) then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such Series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the
case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. 
 For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes
hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with
interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with Section 4.3(a) (the “Company’s SEC
filing obligations”) and for any failure by the 

  

 29 

 
Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall for the first 270 days after the occurrence of such an
Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities of such Series at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Securities. This additional interest will accrue on the Securities from
and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the Company’s SEC filing obligations or the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act first occurs to
but not including the 270th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such obligations shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.10). On such 270th day (or earlier, if such Event of Default is
cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.10 prior to such 270th day), such additional interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.10 prior to such 270th day, then the Trustee
or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest on all such notes to be due and payable immediately. This provision shall not affect the rights
of holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. If the Company elects to pay the additional interest as the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d) relating to the failure by the Company to
comply with the Company’s SEC filing obligations and for any failure by the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall notify, in the manner provided for in Section 11.4,
the Holders and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. If the additional interest is payable under this Section 5.1, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee a certificate to that effect stating the date on which additional interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry
that no additional interest is payable. If the additional interest has been paid by the Company directly to the persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

 SECTION 5.2 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Company covenants that (a) in case default
shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any Series when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall
be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any Series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such Series or upon any redemption or by declaration or
otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series and the Holders of any Coupons appertaining thereto the whole amount that then shall have become due and
payable on all Securities of such Series or such Coupons for principal of or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such Series); and in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any fees and expenses and liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 
  

 30 

 Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and interest on the
Securities of any Series to the persons entitled thereto, whether or not the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series are overdue. 
 In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at
law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. 
 In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken
possession of the Company or its property or such other obligor or its respective property, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor under the Securities of any Series, or to the creditors or
property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have
made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any Series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all fees and expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders and the Holders of any Coupons appertaining thereto allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon all Securities of any Series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, 
 (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the Securities of any Series in any election
of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and 
 (c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received
with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders 

  

 31 

 
to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the
Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other fees and expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any Series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any
such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person. 
 All rights of action and of
asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action
or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the fees, expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor
Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and Holders of any Coupons in respect of which such action was taken. 
 In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee
shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto in respect to which such action was taken, and its shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities and Coupons
appertaining thereto parties to any such proceedings. 
 SECTION 5.3 Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article in respect of the Securities of any Series shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, upon
presentation of the several Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto in respect of which moneys have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such Series in reduced principal amounts in
exchange for the presented Securities of like Series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the
payment of costs and expenses applicable to such Series in respect of which moneys have been collected, including compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all fees and expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6; 
  

 32 

 SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such Series in respect of which moneys have been
collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such Series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest
has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made
ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; 
 THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such
Series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such Series for principal and interest, with interest upon
the overdue principal, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is permissible by law and that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such Series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such Series, then to the
payment of such principal and interest or yield to maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or yield to maturity or of interest or yield to maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other
installment of interest, or of any Security of such Series over any other Security of such Series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and 
 FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person lawfully entitled thereto. 
 SECTION 5.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the
Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 SECTION 5.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall
have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee
shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 
 SECTION 5.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any Series or Holder of any Coupon shall have any right by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

  

 33 

 
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall
have offered to the Trustee such indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer
of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.9; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security and by a Holder of each Coupon appertaining thereto with every other taker and Holder of a Security or Holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto and the Trustee, that no one or more
Holders of Securities of any Series or one or more Holders of any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have any right in any manner whatever, by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other such Holder of Securities or any other Holders of such Coupons, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable Series and all the Holders of Coupons appertaining thereto (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). For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity. 
 SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Indenture and any provision of any Security or Coupon, the right of any Holder of any Security and the right of any Holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to any right of the Company to defer
interest) interest (including any Additional Interest) on, and Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 5.8 Powers and Remedies
Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 5.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Securityholder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee, to the Securityholders or to the Holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Securityholders or Holders of any Coupon. 
  

 34 

 SECTION 5.9 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of each Series affected (with each Series treated as a separate class) at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided
further that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not
lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve
the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all Series
or of the Holders of any Coupons appertaining thereto so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. 
 Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to
take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders. 
 SECTION
5.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any Series as provided in Section 5.1, in the case of any event specified in clause (d) or (g) of Section 5.1
(which relates to less than all Series of Securities then Outstanding), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding affected thereby (each Series treated as a separate class) may waive any such default
or Event of Default, or, in the case of an event specified in clause (d), (g) (if the Event of Default under clause (d) or (g) relates to all Series of Securities then Outstanding), (e) or (f) of Section 5.1, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding (treated as one class) may waive any such default or Event of Default and its consequences except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities of such Series and the Holder of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 35 

 SECTION 5.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain
Circumstances. The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders of any Series notice in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.4, of all defaults known to it which have occurred with respect to such Series, such notice to be
transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to mean
any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such Series or any
default in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation in respect of any of the Securities of such Series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such Series. 
 SECTION 5.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of
any Security and each Holder of any Coupon, by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any Series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series, or, in the case of any suit
relating to or arising under clause (d) or (g) of Section 5.1 (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all Series), 10% in aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding affected thereby, or in the case
of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d), (g) (if the suit under clause (d) or (g) relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), (e) or (f) of Section 5.1, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all
Securities Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security.

statements, 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 the accuracy or mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

Securities and this Indenture; and 
 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and
in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 6.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security registrar, or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, if
operative, may otherwise deal with the Company and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. 
 SECTION 6.5 Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.6 Compensation and
Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and properly
documented out of pocket expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, 

  

 39 

 
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the
reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable compensation and properly documented out of pocket expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises
(whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person). The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee for reasonable and properly documented out of pocket expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness
shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or the Holders of particular Coupons, and the
Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1 or in connection with Article Five hereof, the expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the service in connection therewith are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. 
 SECTION 6.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the
trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence
of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it or under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 SECTION 6.8 Disqualification of Trustee; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in the
Trust Indenture Act, then, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the default (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or waived or otherwise
eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.9 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for each Series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. Such corporation shall have its principal place of business in the United States of America, if there be such a corporation in such
location willing to act upon reasonable and customary terms and conditions. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most 

  

 40 

 
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. 
 SECTION 6.10 Resignation and
Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the
Company and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.4. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the
applicable Series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any Series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable Series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 
 (a) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 6.8 with respect to any Series of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security or Securities of such Series for at least six months; or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder; or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any Series of the Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 
 then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable Series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such Series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of
the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security or Securities of such Series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee with respect to such Series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and 

  

 41 

 
appoint a successor trustee. If no successor Trustee shall be appointed with respect to any Series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of removal, the trustee being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each Series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee
with respect to Securities of such Series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company the evidence provided for in
Section 7.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders. 
 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to
any Series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such Series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 6.11. 
 SECTION 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in
Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee with respect to all or any applicable
Series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such Series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as trustee for such Series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4,
pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor
trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim
upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. 
 If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) Series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable Series shall execute
and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
Series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such 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 under separate indentures. 
  

 42 

 No successor trustee with respect to any Series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Company shall give notice in the manner and to the
extent provided in Section 11.4 to the Holders of Securities of any Series for which such successor trustee is acting as trustee at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security register. If the acceptance of appointment is
substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company. 
 SECTION
6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. 
 In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the
Securities of any Series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that
time any of the Securities of any Series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all
such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such Series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any Series in the name of any precedessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 
 SECTION 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the 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 6.14 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 or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.9, 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 

  

 43 

 
the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or any other action in connection therewith, 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 and other action taken on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company. 
 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, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities in the manner provided in
Section 11.4. 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 the effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Company. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment with respect to one
or more Series of Securities 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 herein and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 ARTICLE Seven 
 CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 
 SECTION 7.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all Series may be embodied
in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar 

  

 44 

 
tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by 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. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Article. 
 (a)
The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security register. 
 (b) The amount of Unregistered Securities held by any
Person executing any instrument or writing as a Securityholder, the numbers of such Unregistered Securities, and the date of his holding the same may be proved by the production of such Securities or by a certificate executed by any trust company,
bank, broker or member of a national securities exchange (wherever situated), as depositary, if such certificate is in form satisfactory to the Trustee, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Unregistered Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person executing such instrument or writing as a Securityholder, if such certificate or affidavit is in form
satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Unregistered Security continues until (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Unregistered Security
is produced, or (ii) such Unregistered Security is produced by some other person, or (iii) such Unregistered Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Unregistered Security has been cancelled in
accordance with Section 2.10. 
 SECTION 7.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of
any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.3 Holders to Be Treated as Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such Series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. 
 SECTION 7.4 Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of any or all Series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being
made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded
and 

  

 45 

 
deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
conclusively relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded
as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly
or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any
decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be
owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the
fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 
 SECTION 7.5 Right of Revocation
of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all
Series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder
of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto
is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all Series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be
conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action. 
 SECTION 7.6 Record
Date for Determination of Holders Entitled to Vote. The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Securityholders. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Securityholder made by any
Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant
to Section 4.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly appointed proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action.

 ARTICLE Eight 
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 SECTION 8.1 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. The
Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at
the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or
pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more Series any property or assets; 
 (b) to evidence the
succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article Nine; 
 (c) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and
the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of
Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may
provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series to waive such an Event of Default; 
 (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Board of
Directors may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or the Holders of any Coupons appertaining thereto; or 
 (e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any Series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3; or 
 (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than the one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of
Section 6.11. 
  

 47 

 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2.

 SECTION 8.2 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Seven) of
the Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all Series affected by such supplemental indenture (treated as one class), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the
Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such Series; provided, that
no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (including Additional Interest) thereon, or reduce any
amount payable on redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.1 or the amount provable in
bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.2, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder without the consent
of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the subordination of the Securities in respect thereof in a manner adverse to Holders of Securities, or (c) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Securities of any Series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected. 
 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.1, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such
supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 

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

 48 

 Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, the Company shall give notice in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.4 to the Holders of Securities of each Series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the
Company, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture. 
 SECTION 8.3 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the
Holders of Securities of each Series and Holders of Coupons affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 SECTION
8.4 Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to this Article Eight complies with the applicable provisions and is authorized or permitted by of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.5 Notation
on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any Series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear, upon the direction of the Company, a
notation in form satisfactory to the Trustee for such Series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting. If the Company or the Trustee 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 modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in
exchange for the Securities of such Series then outstanding. 
 ARTICLE Nine 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE 
 SECTION 9.1 Company May Consolidate,
etc., on Certain Terms. The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless (i) either the Company shall be the continuing
corporation, or the successor corporation or the Person which acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of
this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation and (ii) the Company or such successor corporation, as the case may be,
shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition. 
  

 49 

 SECTION 9.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, and following such an assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein. Such successor corporation may cause to
be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and,
upon the Company Order of such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall
have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the
Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued
at the date of the execution hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance such changes in phraseology and
form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 In the event of any such sale or
conveyance (other than a conveyance by way of lease) the Company or any successor corporation which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved. 
 SECTION 9.3 Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 11.5, as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such
liquidation or dissolution, complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE Ten 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS 
 SECTION 10.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. (A) If at any time (a) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid the principal of and interest on all the Securities of any Series and
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto Outstanding hereunder (other than Securities and Coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) as and when the same shall have become due
and payable, or (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any Series and Coupons theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of such Series and Coupons which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) or (c)(i) all the Securities of such Series and Coupons not theretofore delivered to 

  

 50 

 
the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and (ii) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount
in cash (other than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Company in accordance with Section 10.4) or U.S. Government Obligations, as defined below, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as
will ensure the availability of cash sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such Series and Coupons (other than any Securities of such Series and Coupons which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity as the case may be, and if, in any such case, the
Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to Securities of such Series and Coupons, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities of such Series and
Coupons (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and the Company’s right of optional redemption, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons, (iii) rights of
Holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the Holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the
rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (v) the rights of the Securityholders of such Series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them), and the
Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture
with respect to such Series; provided, that the rights of Holders of the Securities and Holders of Coupons to receive amounts in respect of principal of and interest on the Securities and Coupons held by them shall not be delayed longer than
required by then-applicable mandatory rules or policies of any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to
compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture, the Securities of such Series and Coupons. 
 (B) In addition to the provisions of Section 10.1(A), the Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities of any Series and this
Indenture with respect to such Series, except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 10.1, if the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, under the terms of an
irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Securityholders of such Series for that purpose, (i) cash or (ii) direct noncallable obligations of, or
noncallable obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America or an agency thereof for the payment of which guarantee or obligation the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged (“U.S. Government Obligations”),
or a combination thereof, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal or interest, to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding
Securities of such Series and Coupons to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of said
principal of and interest on the Outstanding Securities and Coupons of such Series. 
  

 51 

 Such irrevocable trust agreement shall include, among other things, provision for (1) payment of the
principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series and Coupons when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments or otherwise), (2) the payment of the expenses of the Trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such
trust provisions, (3) rights of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of Securities of such Series and Coupons in accordance with the terms stated in this Indenture and (4) continuation of the rights and obligations and
immunities of the Trustee as against the Securityholders of such Series as stated in this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding the first paragraph
of this Section 10.1(B), the Company’s obligations, if any, in Sections 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.2, 5.1, 6.1, 6.2, 6.6, 6.10, 10.4 and 10.5 shall survive until the Securities of such Series and Coupons, if any, are no longer Outstanding; provided,
however, that the Company’s obligations, if any, in Section 5.1 shall survive only with respect to Events of Default as defined in Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b), and 5.1(c). Thereafter, the Company’s obligations, if any, in Sections 6.6,
10.4 and 10.5 shall survive. 
 After any such irrevocable deposit, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of an independent firm or
certified public accountants, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate which shall state that the provisions of the first two paragraphs of this Section 10.1(B) have been complied with, and upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an
opinion of independent legal counsel who shall be satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that Securityholders of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge and
will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit and discharge had not occurred, then the Company shall be discharged of its obligations under the
Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series except for those surviving obligations specified above, and the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing such discharge. Prior to the delivery of such acknowledgment,
the Trustee may require the Company to deliver to it an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the deposit and discharge contemplated by this provision have been
complied with, and the Trustee may also require that the Opinion of Counsel shall also state that such deposit does not violate applicable law. 
 SECTION 10.2 Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. Subject to Section 10.4, all moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of such Series and any Coupons appertaining thereto for the payment or redemption of which such
moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 10.3 Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
Securities of any Series or Coupons, 

  

 52 

 
all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Series of Securities or Coupons shall, upon demand of
the Company, be repaid to the Company or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
 SECTION 10.4 Return of Unclaimed Moneys Held by Trustee and Paying Agent. Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of
any Series or Coupons and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Company and unless otherwise required by
mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company by the Trustee for such Series or such Paying Agent, and the Holder of the Security of such Series or Holders of Coupons appertaining thereto
shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the
Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease. 
 SECTION 10.5 Reinstatement of Company’s
Obligations. If the Trustee is unable to apply any funds or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 10.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of any Series for which such application is prohibited shall be revived and reinstated as if no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 10.1 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such funds or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 10.1; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest
on or principal of any of such Securities or Coupons because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Securityholders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE Eleven 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 11.1 Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Company
Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, in any Security or Coupon appertaining thereto, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  

 53 

 SECTION 11.2 Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Securityholders. Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders of the Securities and
Coupons, if any, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of
the Holders of the Securities. 
 SECTION 11.3 Successors and Assigns of Company Bound by Indenture. All the covenants, stipulations,
promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 SECTION 11.4 Notices and Demands on Company, Trustee and Securityholders. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee, by the
Holders of Securities, or by the Holders of Coupons to or on the Company may be given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Company
is filed by the Company with the Trustee) to The Dow Chemical Company, 2030 Dow Center, Midland, Michigan 48674 Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, except that any notices required or permitted to be given under Section 5.1 hereof shall be
given or served by registered or certified mail only. Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Company or any Securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made at
the Corporate Trust Office. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, (1) if any of the Securities affected
by such event are Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid to such Registered Holders as their names and addresses
appear in the Security register within the time prescribed and (2) if any of the Securities affected by such event are Unregistered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if published
once in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York and London, England and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities within the time prescribed. 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 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, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Company and
Securityholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 

 

 54 

 SECTION 11.5 Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements to Be Contained
Therein. Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 
 Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture (other than certificates provided pursuant to Section 4.3(d)) shall include (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief statement as to the
nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such examination or investigation as
is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been
complied with. 
 Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters,
upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are
erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession
of the Company, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. 
 Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm
of accountants in the employ of the Company, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be
based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. 
 Any certificate or
opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent. 
 SECTION 11.6 Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the date of maturity of interest on or principal or premium, if any, of the Securities of any Series or Coupons appertaining thereto or the date fixed for redemption or
repayment of any such Security or 

  

 55 

 
Coupon shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date. 
 SECTION 11.7 Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with the duties imposed by any of Sections 310 through 317 of the Trust Indenture Act, by the operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control, except as, and to the extent, expressly excluded from this Indenture, as
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or excluded, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 11.8 New York Law to Govern; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Indenture and each
Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 SECTION 11.9
Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 11.10 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect
the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 11.11 Determination of Principal Amount; Calculation of Original Issue Discount. In determining
whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of any Series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, or whether sufficient funds are available for redemption or
for any other purpose, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.1 and the principal amount of any Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency or ECU that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall
be determined by converting the Foreign Currency or the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate as of the date of such determination. 
 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. 
  

 56 

 ARTICLE Twelve 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS 
 SECTION 12.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of
this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any Series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a Series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for
Securities of such Series. 
 SECTION 12.2 Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of
Securities of any Series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by giving notice of such redemption as provided in Section 11.4, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to such Holders of Securities of such Series. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a Series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such Series. 
 The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall identify the
Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price (or the method of calculating the redemption price), the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Securities, and that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Coupon Securities, if any, surrendered for payment must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the redemption date, failing which the amount of any
such missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the sum due for payment, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be
paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue and that, if less than all of the Outstanding Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the
identification and principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed. In case any Security of a Series is to be redeemed in part, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on
and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such Series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 The notice of redemption of Securities of any Series to be redeemed at the option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 On or prior to 10 a.m., New York City time, the redemption
date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust
as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such Series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. The Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. 
  

 57 

 If less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner
as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such Series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such Series or any multiple thereof.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of such Series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such Series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any Series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 12.3 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If
notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities
or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 10.4, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this
Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a
place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption;
provided that any semiannual payment of interest on Registered Securities becoming due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and
provisions of Section 2.7 hereof. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption,
the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest borne by the Security. 
 Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only and the Coupons appertaining thereto, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the
expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities and the Coupons appertaining thereto, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented. 
 SECTION 12.4 Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for
selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not 

  

 58 

 
pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. 
 SECTION 12.5 Right of Redemption Upon Special
Event. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, if a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of such series within 90 days of the occurrence of such Special
Event, in whole but not in part, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.5 and the other provisions of this Article 12. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of such Series, the redemption price for
any Security so redeemed pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, to the date fixed for redemption.

 SECTION 12.6 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking
fund payment”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date”. 
 In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such Series theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such Series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of
such Series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such Series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund
redemption price specified in such Securities. 
 On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any Series,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such Series,
(b) stating that none of the Securities of such Series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such Series have occurred (which have not been waived or
cured) and are continuing, (d) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such Series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which
the Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date and (e) specifying such sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such Series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the
Company to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate written statement
(or reasonably promptly thereafter if 

  

 59 

 
acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers’ Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally
obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such sixtieth day, to deliver such written statement and Securities
specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such Series due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such Series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such Series as
provided in this Section. 
 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular Series, such
cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such Series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be
$50,000 or less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.2, for redemption on such sinking fund payment
date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such Series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be possible, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Securities of such Series (or
portions thereof) so selected. Securities of any Series which are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date as being beneficially owned by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by, the Company or an entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company shall be excluded from Securities of such Series eligible for selection for
redemption. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, if it shall so notify the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such Series to be given in substantially the manner provided
in Section 12.2 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.3) for the redemption of Securities of such Series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of
Securities of such Series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such Series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated
maturity date of the Securities of any particular Series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such Series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if
necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such Series at maturity. 
 On
or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment
date. 
 The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a Series with sinking fund moneys or mail or publish any
notice of redemption of Securities for such Series by 

  

 60 

 
operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the
mailing or publication of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such
redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such Series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or
Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default cured on or before the
sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities. 
 ARTICLE Thirteen SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 13.1 Agreement to Subordinate. 
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder and
under any indenture supplemental hereto or pursuant to a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate and Guarantor’s Officer’s Certificate (“Additional Provisions”) by such Holder’s acceptance thereof likewise covenants and
agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 13; and each Holder of a Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

 The payment by the Company of the principal of, any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on all Securities of each
Series issued hereunder and under any Additional Provisions shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness with respect to such Series, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred. 
 No provision of this Article 13 shall prevent the occurrence of any
default or Event of Default hereunder. 
 SECTION 13.2 Default on Senior Indebtedness. 
 In the event and during the continuation of any default (beyond any applicable grace periods) by the Company in the payment of principal, premium,
interest or any other monetary amount due on any Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series, in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series has been accelerated because of
a default, or in the event any judicial proceeding is pending regarding any such default then, in any case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption and sinking fund payments) of, any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities of such Series. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 13.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or 

  

 61 

 
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to
the extent that the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on such Senior Indebtedness and only the
amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 13.3 Liquidation;
Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 
 Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all
Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on account of the principal of, premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities of such Series; and upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, or in any such bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the
Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article 13,
shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of such Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in money or
money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities of such Series or to the Trustee.

 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing shall be received by the Trustee before all such Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any
instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all such Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to
pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
  

 62 

 For purposes of this Article 13, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed
to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent
provided in this Article 13 with respect to the Securities of the relevant Series to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of such Series that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior
Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such
reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its property as an entirety, or
substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Indenture shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this
Section 13.3 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Indenture. Nothing in Section 13.2 or in this Section 13.3
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6 of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 13.4
Subrogation. 
 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series, the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of such Series shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness
until the principal of, any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities of such Series shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 13, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 to or for the benefit of the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities of such Series or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities of such Series, be deemed
to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 13 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities of
each Series, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of such Series on the other hand. 
 Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture, any Additional Provisions or in the Securities of any Series is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of such Series, and the Holders of the Securities of such Series, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities of such Series the principal
of, any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities of such Series as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders
of the Securities of such Series and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, 

  

 63 

 
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security of such Series from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 13 of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the
exercise of any such remedy. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Indenture, and the Holders shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities of any
Series, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of such Series and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13. 
 SECTION 13.5 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. 
 Each Holder of Securities by such Holder’s acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 13 and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes. 
 SECTION 13.6 Notice by the Company. 
 The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of
any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities of any Series pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of this Indenture or any Additional
Provisions, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities of any Series pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 13, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of such Series or from any trustee therefor;
and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have
received the notice provided for in this Section 13.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, any
premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security of such Series), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to
the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. 
  

 64 

 The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series (or a trustee on behalf of such holder), to establish that such notice has been given
by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior
Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 13, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 13, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities of any Series, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
with respect to the Securities of such Series and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13. 
 SECTION 13.7 Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 13 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series at any time held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture or any Additional Provisions shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only
such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 13, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture or any Additional Provisions
against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior
Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of the Securities of such series, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 13 or otherwise.

 Nothing in this Article 13 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6. 
  

 65 

 SECTION 13.8 Subordination May Not Be Impaired 
 No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced
or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company, or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of
any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the Securities of any Series may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities of such Series, without
incurring responsibility to such Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 13 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities of such Series to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any
one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any
instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness;
(iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

 Cash Bonus Compensation 
 The Compensation Committee is authorized to develop, adopt and implement compensation arrangements, including cash bonus awards, for Mr. Saylor. The Compensation Committee established a formula (“2006 Bonus
Formula”) for determining the bonus amount with respect to Mr. Saylor’s performance for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 based on a performance goal relating to the Company’s diluted earnings
per share for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The Compensation Committee has the right to use discretion to award a cash bonus amount lower than the amount calculated using the 2006 Bonus Formula. The
Compensation Committee has not yet determined Mr. Saylor’s award pursuant to the 2006 Bonus Formula and has not yet established the terms of any cash bonus plan or award for Mr. Saylor for 2007. 
 The Chief Executive Officer is authorized to develop, adopt and implement compensation arrangements, including cash bonus awards, for Messrs. Bansal,
Klein, Locke and Zolfaghari. The Chief Executive Officer has not yet determined the terms for any such cash bonus plan or award for 2007. 
 Other
Compensation 
 The Compensation Committee may also, from time to time, award each of the named executive officers compensation in the
form of stock options granted under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan. 
 On February 25, 2005, the
Company entered into an agreement with Alcantara LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Alcantara”) of which Mr. Saylor is the sole member. Under the agreement, the Company is (i) providing to Alcantara use of approximately
150 square feet of office space within the Company’s leased space at 1861 International Drive, McLean, Virginia, (ii) providing to Alcantara various related services, and (iii) providing to Mr. Saylor gross-up payments in respect
of taxes that he may incur as a result of the arrangement. The agreement does not require any rental or other payments from Alcantara or Mr. Saylor. The Company has filed a copy of this agreement as Exhibit 10.19 to the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. 
 The Company also pays Mr. Saylor’s monthly dues at a private club that
offers dining services and hosts business, professional and social community events. 
 In addition, the Company is authorized to make
available, from time to time, tickets to sporting, charity, dining, entertainment or similar events as well as use of corporate suites, club memberships or similar facilities that the company may acquire (“Corporate Development Programs”),
for personal use by Company personnel to the extent a Corporate Development Program is not at such time being used exclusively by the Company for business purposes. Eligible personnel include members of the Board of Directors of the Company,
executive officers of the Company, and other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Any such personal use may be deemed compensation to such persons. 
 To the extent such personal use is deemed compensation to an executive officer, the Company pays to (or withholds and pays to the appropriate taxing authority on behalf of) such executive officer a “tax
gross-up” in cash, which 

 
would approximate the amount of the individual’s (i) federal and state income and payroll taxes on the taxable income associated with the personal
use of Corporate Development Programs plus (ii) federal and state income and payroll taxes on the taxes that the individual may incur as a result of the payment of taxes by the Company.
