WHEREAS, the New Lender (as defined in Section 2 below) desires to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, and the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such
Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, 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.

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 3.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities and deliver in
the name or names of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. 

Any Security or Securities of any series may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of the same series in other authorized denominations,
in an equal aggregate principal amount. Securities of any series to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 

All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next
preceding the first mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed, or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security where public notice has been given that
such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. 
 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. 

(c)        Transfer, registration and exchange shall be permitted as provided in this
Section 2.08 without any charge to the Securityholder except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail (such delivery to be at the sole risk and expense of the transferee or holder, as applicable) and except, if the Company
or the Registrar shall so require, the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, tax or governmental charge or insurance charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Registration of the transfer of a Security by the Registrar shall be
deemed to be the sole acknowledgment of such transfer on behalf of the Company.

 (d)        The Trustee shall have no responsibility
or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Registered Global Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member
thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or
repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities, and the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any
beneficial owners. The rights of beneficial owners in any Registered Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. 

(e)        The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as
are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Section 2.09 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or
definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of
the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a
substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security, indemnity and/or pre-funding 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 and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement the
applicant shall surrender the Security to the Trustee or such agent. 
 Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, 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 or its agent) connected therewith. In case any
Security 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, pay or authorize the payment of
the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security, indemnity and/or pre-funding 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 and of the ownership thereof. 
 Every
substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (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 duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities 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. All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Company, or any agent of the Company or the Paying Agent, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Securities held by it in accordance with its
procedures for the disposition of cancelled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition and, upon receipt of a written request from the Company, deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the
Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any
series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities
of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the reasonable concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary
Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute
definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.02,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03. 

Section 2.12 Japanese Withholding Tax. 

(a)        In compliance with Japanese tax laws and the practices of tax authorities in Japan, in
respect of any interest payment on a series of Securities issued in global or book-entry form pursuant to this Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto, any Paying Agent shall act in accordance with the Operating Manual — Japanese
Withholding Tax on Certain International Issues Held Through DTC (as may be amended from time to time by notice from the International Capital Market Association, the “DTC Procedures”), if DTC is acting as Clearing Organization with
respect to such series or with respect to depositary interests representing the Securities of such series, or in accordance with such other similar procedures as may be established by another Clearing Organization. Except as otherwise provided in
this Indenture, any such Paying Agent shall be responsible only for performing such services as are specifically provided for in the DTC Procedures or such other procedures actually known by the Paying Agent, as applicable and as may be amended or
modified and communicated to the Paying Agent from time to time. Any such Paying Agent and the Company may rely on the information provided in the Written Application for Tax Exemption (as defined below) and other documentation in the absence of
actual knowledge to the contrary. If any interest payment on a series of Securities is due to be made hereunder and if and so long as payments of interest (if any) by the Company to any Paying Agent may be made without deduction or withholding for
or on account of Japanese tax only upon receipt of certifications, the Written Application for Tax Exemption, notifications or other documentation in compliance with Japanese tax law requirements (“Tax Documentation”), the relevant
Paying Agent at the direction of the Company shall (i) collect the required Tax Documentation from the Clearing Organization (or Holders of the Securities, if definitive Securities representing such series of Securities have been issued); (ii)
provide any required confirmations of information available to it; and (iii) promptly deliver such Tax Documentation so received to the Company for filing with the relevant Japanese district tax office. Any such Paying Agent may rely on the
information provided in Tax Documentation (including where relevant, supporting documentation) in the absence of actual knowledge that such information is incorrect. Neither the Company nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for any
withholding of tax arising as a result of a late delivery of the required Tax Documentation or incorrectly completed Tax Documentation.

 (b)        If a Holder of the Securities or the
holder of a beneficial interest in the Securities satisfies the requirements for claiming an exemption from Japanese withholding tax after the date on which an amount in respect of such tax is withheld and before the date on which the tax is
actually paid to the Japanese tax authorities, then the Company or the Paying Agent acting at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent not prohibited by Japanese tax law, repay the amount withheld
(after deduction of reasonable costs, including amounts in respect of changes in foreign exchange rates) to the Holder. 

(c)        The Paying Agent shall furnish forms of certifications to Holders upon request, and shall
use reasonable efforts to assist Holders in claiming available exemptions, but shall not be liable for a Holder’s failure to qualify for such an exemption. Based on the Tax Documentation received, the Paying Agent will make the appropriate
calculations of interest payable after making the relevant deductions in accordance with this Section 2.12. The Paying Agent will remit all amounts of tax withheld under this Section 2.12 to or to the written order of the Company as soon
as reasonably practicable in order to enable the Company to make the necessary payments to the relevant tax office in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Paying Agent shall retain copies of Tax Documentation for a period of five
years from the date as prescribed by Japanese tax laws and shall make such documentation available for inspection by the Company and any relevant tax authorities in Japan upon written request given in reasonable notice from the Company. 

Section 2.13 CUSIP, ISIN Numbers and Common Codes. The Company in issuing the Securities may use
CUSIP, ISIN numbers and Common Codes if then generally in use, and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN numbers and Common Codes 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 in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN numbers or Common Codes. 

ARTICLE 3 
 COVENANTS OF THE
COMPANY 
 Section 3.01 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 (together with any Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such
Securities) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities. Subject to any other provisions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03, the interest on Securities (together with any
Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Company, may be paid by wire transfer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
not be responsible in any manner whatsoever to pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with the making of any payments by wire transfer. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any obligation to advance its own funds,
and all payments on the Securities shall be made from immediately available funds deposited by the Company with the Trustee or the Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the relevant payment date, provided, however, to
the extent any such funds are received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent after 10:00 a.m. New York time, on such payment date, such funds will be deemed deposited within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof.

Table of Contents

 The interest, if any, due in respect of any temporary or definitive Security, together with
any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, as provided in the terms and conditions of such Security, shall be payable, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.05, only upon presentation of such Security to the Trustee thereof
for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. 
 Section 3.02 Offices for Payments,
etc. So long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment the following for each series: an office or agency (a) where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment,
(b) where Registered Securities may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture and (c) where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities or of this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. Unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 2.03, the Company hereby
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose in relation to Registered Securities. In case the Company shall fail to so designate or maintain any such office or agency
or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations, surrenders and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office. 

The Company may from time to time designate one or more offices or agencies (in addition to or in lieu of the office or agency established
pursuant to the preceding paragraph) where the Securities of a series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange as provided
in this Indenture, and the Company may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section. The Company will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof. 

Section 3.03 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 5.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder. 

Section 3.04 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, 

(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 (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee, and
that it will pay the principal of, and interest on, each series of Securities as provided in this Indenture, 

  
 16 

Table of Contents

 (b)        that (unless such Paying Agent is the
same bank as the Trustee) it will give the Trustee 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 when the same
shall be due and payable, and 
 (c)        that (unless such Paying Agent is the same bank as the
Trustee) it will pay any such sums so held by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in Section 3.04(b) above. 

The Company will, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series,
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 of any failure to take such action, provided,
however, to the extent any such funds are received by the Paying Agent after 10:00 a.m. New York time, on such payment date, such funds will be deemed deposited within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof. 

If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee 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 hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held by the Trustee 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. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 4.01(d) or (e), the Trustee or one of
its affiliates shall automatically become the Paying Agent. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement by
the Trustee or the Company to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 9.03 and Section 9.04. 

In acting hereunder and in connection with the Securities, the Paying Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Company. 

Section 3.05 Additional Amounts. All payments of principal (and premium, if any) or interest in
respect of the Securities will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan or any authority
thereof or therein having power to tax (“Japanese Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction of such Japanese Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Company shall pay to the Holders such additional amounts
(“Additional Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by or on behalf of the Holders or beneficial owners of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, provided that,
no Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Security:

 (a)        to, or to a third party on behalf of, a
Securityholder or beneficial owner of a Security who is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Japanese Taxes in
respect of such Security by reason of its (1) having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of such Security, or (2) being a person having a special relationship with the Company as described in Article 6, paragraph 4 of
the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (the “Special Taxation Measures Act”) (a “Specially-Related Person of the Company”); or 

(b)        to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Securityholder or beneficial owner of a Security
(A) who would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but who fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information (as defined below) or to submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption
(as defined below) to the Paying Agent to whom the relevant Security is presented (where presentation is required), or (B) whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the Participant (as defined below) and the relevant
Clearing Organization to such Paying Agent; or 
 (c)        to, or to a third party on behalf of,
a Securityholder or beneficial owner of a Security who is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution (as defined below) which complies with
the requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Written Application for Tax Exemption and (B) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation who duly notifies (directly or through the Participant or
otherwise) the relevant Paying Agent of its status as not being subject to Japanese Taxes to be withheld or deducted by the Company, by reason of such individual resident of Japan or Japanese corporation receiving interest on the relevant Security
through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it); or 
 (d)        where such Security is
presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment first becomes due or after the date on which the full amount payable is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent
that the Holder of the Security would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such 30-day period; or 

(e)        any combination of (a) through (d) above; 

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on a Security to or on behalf of a Securityholder who is a fiduciary or
partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of Japan to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a
member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who, in each case, would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Securityholder. The obligation to pay Additional Amounts
with respect to any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges shall not apply to (A) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge or (B) any tax,
duty, assessment or governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Security. References to principal (and premium, if any) and interest in
respect of the Security will be deemed to include any Additional Amounts due which may be payable in respect of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest.

 Where a Security is held through a participant of a Clearing Organization or a financial
intermediary, in each case, as prescribed by the Special Taxation Measures Act (each, a “Participant”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for, or on account of, Japanese Taxes, if the
relevant beneficial owner is (1) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a Specially-Related Person of the Company) or
(2) a Japanese financial institution or financial instruments business operator falling under certain categories prescribed by the cabinet order under Article 6, paragraph 9 of the Special Taxation Measures Act (a “Designated Financial
Institution”), such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of the relevant Security, provide certain information prescribed by the Special Taxation Measures Act and the cabinet order and other
regulations thereunder to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for Japanese Taxes to be withheld or deducted (the “Interest Recipient Information”) and advise the
Participant if the beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted (including where the beneficial owner who is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese
corporation becomes a Specially-Related Person of the Company). 
 Where a Security is not held by a Participant, in order to receive
payments free of withholding or deduction by the Company for, or on account of, Japanese Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner is (i) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a Specially-Related Person of the Company) or (ii) a Designated Financial Institution, such beneficial owner shall, prior to each time at which it receives interest, submit
to the relevant Paying Agent a written application for tax exemption (hikazei tekiyo shinkokusho) (a “Written Application for Tax Exemption”) in a form obtainable from the Paying Agent stating, inter alia, the name and
address of the beneficial owner, the title of the Security, the relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that the beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Written Application for Tax Exemption, together with documentary
evidence regarding its identity and residence. 
 No Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account of any deduction or withholding
imposed pursuant to Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder and any other official guidance thereunder (“FATCA”), any intergovernmental agreement entered into with respect to
FATCA, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing, or relating to, FATCA, similar legislation under the laws of any other jurisdiction, or any such intergovernmental agreement. 

If there is any withholding or deduction for or on account of Japanese Taxes with respect to payments on the Securities, the Company will use
reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of such Japanese Taxes from the Japanese taxing authority imposing such Japanese Taxes, and if certified copies are not available, the Company will use reasonable
efforts to obtain other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall make such certified copies or other evidence available to the Holders or the beneficial owners of the Securities upon reasonable request to the Trustee. 

The Company will pay all stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and other duties, if
any, which may be imposed by Japan, the United States or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein, with respect to this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or as a consequence of the initial issuance,

or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as long as any Securities are Outstanding hereunder. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall
not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee
is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 
 Section 3.10 Notices to

reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act, the Civil Rehabilitation Act, the Corporate Reorganization Act, the Companies Act or any other similar applicable law of Japan, or shall consent to the institution of any such proceedings or shall consent to
the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of itself or of all or substantially all of its property, or an effective resolution shall have been passed by the Company for the winding up or
dissolution of its affairs, other than for the purpose of an amalgamation or merger, provided that the continuing or successor corporation has effectively assumed the obligations of the Company under such series of Securities and this
Indenture; or 
 (f)        any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture or
Board Resolution (as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate) under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series. 

Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture, if an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing with
respect to a series, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series has already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same
shall become immediately due and payable.

 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 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 and the principal of any and all Securities of such series 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 to the date of such payment or deposit) and such
amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default with respect to such series, other than the non-payment 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 then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company
and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such series 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. 

Section 4.02 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May File Proof of Claim. 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 the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all
Securities of such series for principal 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result
of its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 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 Holders, whether or not the principal of and interest on the Securities of such series be 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.

or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee, and its agents, attorneys and counsel, and liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith. 
 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 in 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 expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee and its respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities in respect of which such action
was taken.

 Section 4.05 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment
of Proceeding. In case the Trustee or any Holder of a Security 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 or such Securityholder, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee or such Securityholder 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 4.06 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series
shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities 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 or under the Securities, except actions for payment of overdue principal and interest, unless such Holder previously shall have
given to the Trustee written notice of an Event 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 the affected series then
Outstanding (each such series treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder or under the Securities and shall have offered to the Trustee such
security, indemnity and/or pre-funding satisfactory to the Trustee as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of security, indemnity and/or pre-funding satisfactory to the Trustee 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 during such 60-day period pursuant to Section 4.09; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every
Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right hereunder or under the Securities, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder of a Security and the Trustee acknowledge, accept, consent and agree, for a period of 30 days from and including the date upon which the Prime
Minister of Japan confirms that specified item 2 measures (tokutei dai nigō sochi), which are the measures set forth in Article 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act
(or any successor provision thereto), need to be applied to the Company, not to initiate any action to attach any of the assets of the Company, the attachment of which has been prohibited by designation of the Prime Minister of Japan pursuant to
Article 126-16 of the Deposit Insurance Act (or any successor provision thereto). The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Prime Minister of Japan has confirmed that specified item 2 measures
(tokutei dai nigō sochi) set forth in Article 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act (or any successor provision thereto) need to be applied to the Company, deliver a
written notice of such event to the Trustee and the Holders through the Clearing Organization. Any failure or delay by the Company to provide such written notice shall not change or delay the effect of the acknowledgement, acceptance, consent and
agreement of the Holders described in the preceding paragraph or of the Trustee described in Section 4.04. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such notification of the Company (without further investigation or enquiry) and
shall not be liable to any person for so accepting and relying on such notification.

consent of such Holder. 
 Section 4.08 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not
Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 4.06 and except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.09, 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 4.06, every power and remedy
given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 

Section 4.09 Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of each series affected (with all such series voting as a single 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 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (2) the
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, (3) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Securityholders not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Securityholders), and (4) the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 
Section 4.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of any Securities as provided in Section 4.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time
Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as a single class) may on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities waive any past default or Event of Default described in Section 4.01 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 and the Holders
of all such Securities 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. 

  
 26 

Table of Contents

 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. 
 Section 4.11 Trustee to Give Notice of
Default. The Trustee shall give to the Securityholders of any series, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Register, notice by mail (or by other means provided in a supplemental indenture hereto or the Board Resolution under
which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series) of all defaults known to the Trustee 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). 
 Section 4.12 Right of Court to Require
Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 Section 4.01(c) (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 Section 4.01(c) (if the suit relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), Section 4.01(d), 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. 

Section 4.13 Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day following the date on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate
of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final
unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (1) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not
entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed
to be payable in respect of such payments, (2) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the
full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (3) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. If the Required Currency so purchased with the Judgment Currency are greater
than the sum originally due in the Required Currency hereunder, the Trustee shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the Required Currency so purchased over the sum originally due in the Required Currency hereunder in accordance
with a written request from the Company stating the amount of the excess. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which
banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

bankruptcy or seeking reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act, the Civil Rehabilitation Act, the Corporate Reorganization Act, the Companies Act or any other similar applicable law of Japan, and as long as such proceedings shall have continued, or a
decree or order by any court having jurisdiction shall have been issued adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent or approving a petition seeking reorganization under any such laws, and as long as such decree or order shall have continued
undischarged or unstayed, or (b) the liabilities of the Company exceed, or may exceed, the Company’s assets, or the Company suspends, or may suspend, repayment of its obligations, the Holder of the Securities will not, and waives its
rights to, exercise, claim or plead any right of set off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to the Holder of the Securities by the Company arising under, or in connection with, the Securities of any series or this Indenture.

 ARTICLE 5 
 CONCERNING THE
TRUSTEE 
 Section 5.01 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to
Default. With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has written notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that 
 (a)        prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series of which a Responsible Officer at the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may
have occurred: 
 (i)        the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  
 28

 (ii)        in the absence of bad
faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively without liability rely, and act or refrain from acting as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming with the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of the mathematical calculations or other facts therein); 

(b)        the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be determined in a final non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (c)        the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 4.09 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and 

(d)        under no circumstance shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the
obligations evidenced by the Securities. 
 None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity, security and/or pre-funding satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

The provisions of this Section 5.01 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 and Section 316 of the Trust Indenture
Act. 
 Section 5.02 Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust
Indenture Act, and subject to Section 5.01: 
 (a)        in the absence of willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(b)        any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by a Responsible Officer of
the Company; 
 (c)        the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisors and other
professional advisors of its selection and any written advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

 (d)        the Trustee shall be under no obligation
to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
security, indemnity and/or pre-funding satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity, security and/or pre-funding satisfactory to it against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; and the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; 
 (g)        the Trustee may execute any of the trusts
or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, delegates or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand or expense
incurred by reason of omissions, misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, delegate or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h)        the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default (other than a
payment default under Sections 4.01(a) and 4.01(b)) unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; delivery to the Trustee of Company financial reports shall not be deemed to constitute actual knowledge or constructive knowledge by the Trustee of its contents or notice of a default or
Event of Default; 
 (i)        the Trustee may request that (and shall be entitled to receive) the
Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the respective individuals and titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture with their specimen signatures, which

form of action. The provisions of this Section 5.02(k) shall survive the payment in full of the Securities, the termination or discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee;

 (l)        the Trustee shall not be responsible or
liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes;
fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military
authority or governmental actions; acts of terrorism; failure of any money transmission currency exchange or SWIFT system; it being understood that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the

or clearing system; 
 (n)        notwithstanding anything else contained in this Indenture, the
Trustee may refrain without liability from (i) doing anything which would or may in its opinion based upon advice of legal counsel be illegal or contrary to, or would result in the Trustee being in breach of, any law of any jurisdiction or any
directive, rule, regulation, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organization of any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Section 619 of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), or which would or might otherwise render it liable to any person and may do anything which is, in its opinion based upon advice of legal counsel, necessary to comply with any such law,
directive or regulation or (ii) doing anything which may cause the Trustee to be considered a sponsor of a covered fund under Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any regulations promulgated
thereunder. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from taking any action if, in its opinion based upon advice of legal counsel, it would not have the power to do the relevant thing in the relevant jurisdiction by virtue of any applicable law in
such jurisdiction or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in such jurisdiction that it does not have such power; 

(o)        the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance

including any auditor of the Company and including any payor or payee as required by applicable law, and may use (and its performance will be subject to the rules of) any communications, clearing or payment systems, intermediary bank or other
system. The Company acknowledges that the transfers permitted by this Section 5.02(p) may include transfers to jurisdictions which do not have strict data protection or data privacy laws; 

(q)    the Company hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Trustee, any conflict of interest that may arise by virtue
of the Trustee acting for other customers of the Trustee. The Company acknowledges that the Trustee its respective affiliates (together, the “Trustee Parties”) may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide
financial or other services to other parties with interests which the Company may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Company) other than as a result of the Trustee acting as the
Trustee hereunder, that the Trustee may not be entitled to share with the Company. The Trustee and will not disclose confidential information obtained from the Company (without its consent) to any of the Trustee’s other customers or affiliates

 (r)        in the event the Trustee receives
inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity, security and/or pre-funding from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of each series affected, consistent with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may determine what action, if any, will be taken; 

(s)        in connection with the exercise by it of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions
(including, without limitation, any modification, waiver, authorization or determination), the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Holders of the Securities of each series affected as a class but shall not have regard to any
interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Holders (whatever their number) and in particular, but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of the exercise of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions for
individual Holders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any country, state or territory and a Holder shall not be entitled to
require, nor shall any Holder be entitled to claim, from the Company, the Trustee or any other Person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Holders except to the extent already provided
in Section 3.05 and/or any undertaking given in addition to, or in substitution for, Section 3.05 pursuant to this Indenture; and 

(t)        all calculations relating to the Securities shall be performed by the Company or any other
person appointed by it for this purpose. The Trustee shall not be liable in any respect for the accuracy or inaccuracy in any calculation or formula hereunder or under the Securities, whether by the Company, the auditors or any other person so
appointed by any of them for such purpose. 

Section 5.03        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 certificates 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, nor for the action or inaction of any Clearing Organization. 

Section 5.04        Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities;
Collections, etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and 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 5.05        Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to
the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust by the Trustee 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, nor have any responsibility to
invest such moneys, except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Trustee with the Company.

 Section 5.06 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 reasonable compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing
(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 properly
incurred expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including, subject to Section 5.02(g) hereof, the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advance may arise from its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith as determined in a final non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee, which for purposes of this Section 5.06 shall be deemed to include the Trustee’s
directors, officers, employees and agents, and each predecessor trustee (and their respective officers, employees, directors and agents) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including taxes other than taxes based
upon the net income of the Trustee) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the properly incurred costs and expenses
(including the properly incurred fees, charges and expenses of its agents and counsel) of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability arising out of or in connection with the same, except to the extent such loss, liability or
expense may be attributable to the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of the Trustee, its agents, officers, directors or employees or such predecessor trustee, in each case as determined in a final
non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the payment in full of the Securities and the
termination 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 by the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the holders of particular Securities, 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 4.01(d), the expenses (including the properly incurred fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 The Trustee’s
remuneration and that of its agents and counsel is exclusive of value-added tax or any similar tax, which if applicable is also payable by the Company to the Trustee. All remuneration payable to the Trustee shall accrue interest from the date when
payment was due. All amounts payable to the Trustee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding unless required by law, in which case (other than in respect of taxes based upon,
measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) the Company shall gross up such payments to the Trustee. 
 The indemnity set forth
herein shall survive final payment in full of the Securities, the termination or discharge of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or any agent hereunder.

 Section 5.07 Right of Trustee to Rely on
Officer’s Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02, 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 willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of willful misconduct, 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 under the provisions of this Indenture to the extent of the Trustee’s reliance thereupon. 

Section 5.08 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for each series of
Securities hereunder shall at all times be a Person that is eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee or any trustee hereafter appointed shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 5.09. 

Section 5.09 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 60 days written notice of resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof by first-class mail to Holders
of the applicable series of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Register or otherwise providing notice to Holders in the manner applicable to the Securities of each series. 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, 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 or removal (as the case may
be), the resigning trustee may, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company, appoint its successor or 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 4.12, 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. 

(b)        In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 

(i)        the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign 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 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act 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 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; 

  
 34 

Table of Contents

 then, in any such case, the Company shall 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, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
trustee, or, subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, 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 appoint a successor trustee. 
 (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 6.01 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 5.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 5.10. 

Section 5.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 5.09 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 9.03, 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 5.06. 

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 (i) shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) 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 (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures; and
upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein 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 9.03, 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.

Table of Contents

 No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor trustee for the Securities of any series is eligible pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment
by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 5.10, the Company shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail 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 Register or shall otherwise provide notice thereof to Holders in the manner applicable to the Securities of each series. 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 5.09. If the Company fails to mail or provide such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed or provided at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 5.11
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 of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 5.08, 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 and 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 hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate
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 predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 

Section 5.12 Conflicting Interests. The Trustee for the Securities shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time required thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded
Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series.

 Section 5.13 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, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section,
the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 

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

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Register of the Company. 

Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services under this Section as
may be agreed between the Company and such Authenticating Agent. 
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

 ARTICLE 6 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 
 
Section 6.01 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. 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 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 5.01 and 5.02) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Article. 

Section 6.02 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities; Record Date. Subject
to Sections 5.01 and 5.02, 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. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the Register or by a certificate of the Registrar thereof. The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Securities of any series
entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 6.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more
than 60 days nor less than ten days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only holders of Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote
or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;
provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Trustee in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 10.04, on or prior
to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration
Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

 Section 6.03 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 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, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for
all other purposes; and neither the Company, 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 6.04 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 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 relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities in respect of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice shall be so
disregarded. Securities held by any depositary or other custodial arrangement established by or on behalf of the Company shall be regarded as Outstanding if the beneficial interest therein is not owned by the Company or any other obligor on such
Securities 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 such Securities. 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 reasonable 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 5.01 and 5.02, 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 6.05 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 6.01, 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 or on
registration of transfer thereof, 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
 
Section 7.01 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 for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (a)        to evidence the succession of
another legal entity to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by a successor legal entity of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article 8; 

(b)        to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
provisions as the Company 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; 

(c)        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 may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect; 

(d)        to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions (other than as noted in
Section 7.02) of this Indenture, provided, however, that any such addition, change or elimination shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect; 

(e)        to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture for the purpose of
reflecting any change in the procedures relating to Japanese withholding tax resulting from any amendment to the applicable Japanese tax law, provided that such amendment is relevant to any series of Securities; 

(f)        to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by
Section 2.01 and Section 2.03; or 
 (g)        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 one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.10.

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

New York law. 
 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 
7.02. 
 Section 7.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent
(evidenced as provided in Article 6) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (with each such series voting as one
class), the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of 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
(1) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or
reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 4.01, or change any Place of Payment
where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the redemption date), (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of any Outstanding Securities (considered separately or together as one class, as applicable, and whether comprising the same or different series or less
than all the Securities of a series), the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 4.10, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.10 and 7.01, or (4) change in any manner adverse to the interests of the Holders
of Securities the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Company in respect of the due and prompt payment of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest thereon, or Additional Amounts with respect thereto, without the consent of
the Holders of each Security so affected.

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of
this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of holders of Securities of such series, with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed
not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the holders of Securities of any other series. 
 Upon the request of the Company,
accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolution certified by a Responsible Officer of the Company 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 6.01, 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. The Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall be entitled to receive an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel with regard to any such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel in entering into such supplemental
indenture. The Opinion of Counsel shall comply with Section 10.05 and confirm (inter alia) that the supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted under this Indenture, and that it is legal, valid, binding and enforceable against the
Company under New York law. 
 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. 

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 thereof by (a) first-class mail to the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the Register of the Company or (b) by any other means set forth in such
supplemental indenture, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall assist the Company with the distribution of the notices to the Holders. 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 7.03 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 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 7.04 Documents to be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Sections 5.01 and 5.02, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 10.05, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that, and as conclusive evidence that, any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article 7 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental
indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any

 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER,
SALE OR CONVEYANCE 
 Section 8.01 Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. The Company
shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless: 

(a)        in case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another Person or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the

every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed; and 

(b)        immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee before the consummation of such proposed transaction an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and
such supplemental indenture, comply with this Indenture, (ii) the surviving Person has duly executed and delivered the supplemental indenture and (iii) such supplemental indenture constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Person,
enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder of a Security and the Trustee acknowledge, accept, consent and agree to any transfer of the
Company’s assets (including shares of the Company’s subsidiaries) or liabilities, or any portions thereof, with permission of a Japanese court in accordance with Article 126-13 of the Deposit
Insurance Act (or any successor provision thereto), including any such transfer made pursuant to the authority of the Deposit Insurance Corporation to represent and manage and dispose of the Company’s assets under Article 126-5 of the Deposit Insurance Act (or any successor provision thereto), and that any such transfer shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance of the Company’s properties or assets
for the purpose of this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Successor Substituted. In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and following such an assumption by the successor legal entity, such successor legal entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein. Such
successor legal entity 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 order of such successor legal entity 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 legal entity 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.

under this Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 and Section 5.02, shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 10.05, 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.

Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of such series for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and

holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 

Section 10.02        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 other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of the Securities,
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.

 Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at
his last address as it appears in the Register. 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. 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.

by mail, when so sent or deposited.

it arising out of or based on this Indenture, the Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 The provisions of this
Section 10.10 are intended to be effective upon the execution of this Indenture without any further action by the Company or the Trustee and the introduction of a true copy of this Indenture into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence

Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the date of payment of interest, redemption or stated maturity of a Security established in accordance with Section 2.03, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
such date of payment of interest, redemption or stated maturity of a Security, as the case may be. 

Section 10.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST

Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA Patriot Act”),
the Trustee, like all financial institutions, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that opens an account. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such
information as the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act. 
 ARTICLE 11 

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the
Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series. 

Section 11.02 Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.03 for a particular series of Securities, the Company may, subject to prior confirmation of the FSA (if such confirmation is required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948,
as amended) (the “Financial Instruments and Exchange Act”) or any other applicable laws and regulations then in effect), on giving at least 45 days’, but not more than 60 days’, notice to the Trustee (which notice shall be
irrevocable), redeem all, but not less than all, of the Securities of such series then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Securities (or if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such amount as
determined as contemplated by Section 2.03) plus any accrued but unpaid interest through but not including the date fixed for redemption and any related Additional Amounts, in each case with respect to the Securities being redeemed, in the
event that the Company determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Japan or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to
tax, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes
effective on or after the date of the final offering document for the relevant series of Securities, the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series (and such obligation cannot be
avoided through the taking of reasonable measures available to the Company). The Trustee will notify the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such redemption. Prior to the Company’s giving of any notice of redemption for tax
reasons as described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions
precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the
earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Securities were then due.

 Section 11.03 Notice of Redemption. 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 mailing notice of such redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at not less than 30 days and not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 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
specify the principal amount and CUSIP or ISIN number (if any) of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Securities, 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. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only 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 request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 On or before the redemption date specified in the
notice of redemption given as provided in this Section (and in any event no later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the due date for payment), the Company will deposit with the Trustee in trust 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 3.04) an amount of money or other property 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 and any Additional Amounts.

 Section 11.04    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 Section 5.05 and Section 9.03, 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 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 Sections 2.03 and 2.04 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 or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security)
borne by such Security. 
 Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, 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 of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so
presented. 
 Section 11.05    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 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity
specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. 

Section 11.06    Repurchase of Securities. The Company or any subsidiary of
the Company may, at any time, subject to prior confirmation of the FSA (if such confirmation is required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act or any other applicable laws and regulations then in effect), purchase any or all of the
Securities in the open market or otherwise at any price in accordance with any applicable law or regulation. Subject to applicable law, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company shall have any obligation to purchase or offer to purchase
any Securities held by any Holder as a result of its purchase or offer to purchase Securities held by any other Holder in the open market or otherwise. Any such Securities purchased by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company may, at the
discretion of the Company or the relevant subsidiary, as the case may be, be held or resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation by the Company or any such subsidiary, as the case may be. The Securities so purchased, while held by or on
behalf of the Company or any such subsidiary, as the case may be, shall not entitle the holder to vote at any meetings of the holders of the relevant series of Securities and shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purposes of calculating
quorums at meetings of the Holders of such series of Securities or for the purposes of Article 4. The provisions of this Section are subject to Section 2.03.
