is required, the Company shall use the most recently available quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or quotations from one or more commercial banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the Foreign Currency in question,
or such other quotations as the Company, in each case, shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that if there is more than one market for dealing in any Foreign Currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to

forth (i) the applicable Market Exchange Rate or Exchange Rate and (ii) the U.S. dollar or Foreign Currency amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest payable with respect to a Security of any series on the basis of the Market Exchange
Rate or Exchange Rate, as the case may be (on an aggregate basis and on the basis of a Security having the lowest denomination principal amount pursuant to Section 3.02 in the relevant currency).

instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 8.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual 

  

 10 

 
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an

also be provided in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof or the
Holder of any Predecessor Security, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
  
 For purposes of determining the principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of any series, or if such Outstanding Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the issue price of Outstanding Securities of any series, the Securityholders of which are required, requested or
permitted to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other Act under the Indenture, each Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be deemed to have a principal amount or issue price determined

Agent (as evidenced by a certificate of such Exchange Rate Agent) on the date such Act is delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.04(i). Any such determination by the Company or an Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the
Holders and the Trustee for such series, and neither the Company nor such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith. 
  
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or
consent to any action by vote or consent

authorized or permitted under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, those persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such vote or
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 
  
 Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Securityholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or delivered to, or filed with,

  
 the Trustee by any Securityholder or by the
Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, delivered or filed in writing to or with the Trustee and received at its Corporate Trust Office; or 
  
 the Company by any Securityholder or by the Trustee shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Secretary at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or at
any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by an Authorized Officer of the Company. 
  
 Notices to Securityholders; Waiver. 
  
 Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Holders of any series of Securities of any event: 
  
 Such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise
herein, or in such Security, expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
  
 Such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York
and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such stock exchange shall so require, in London and, if the Security of such series are then
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in Luxembourg and, if the Security of such series are then listed on any other stock exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in any other required city
outside the United States or, if not practicable, elsewhere in Europe on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date, and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice; it being understood that the Company shall notify the Trustee of any of the foregoing requirements a reasonable amount of time prior to the date on which such notice must be given (but in no event less than five Business Days). 

 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service in the
applicable country or countries or by reason of any other case it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a
sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, 

  

 12 

 
to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the
sufficiency of any notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided above. 
  
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for
every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered
Securities as provided above. 
  
 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. Such waivers of notice by Securityholders shall
be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 Language of Notices, etc. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language,
except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication, as may be specified in a form of Security or, in the absence of such specification, as directed in writing by the Company. 
  
 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 If and to the extent that any provision hereof limits, qualifies or
conflicts with the duties imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act through operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control. 
  
 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

construction hereof. 
  
 Successors and Assigns.

  
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the
Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  
 Separability Clause. 
  
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

 
 Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Holders and, to the extent provided in Article XIV hereof, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Indenture. 
  

 13 

 Legal Holidays. 
  
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of any Security or any date on which any
Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid or delivered shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provisions of the Securities or this Indenture) payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if
any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day or such other Business Day as may be specified in an Officers’ Certificate
delivered to the appropriate Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Redemption Date or on the date on which Defaulted Interest is
proposed to be paid or delivered, and, if such payment or delivery is made, no interest shall accrue on such payment or delivery for the period from and after any such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or on the date on which
Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid or delivered, as the case may be. 
  
 Governing Law. 
  
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
  
 Judgment Currency; Payment to be in Proper Currency. 
  
 Each reference in any Security to any currency shall be of the essence.
Subject to Section 3.12(iv), 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 or amount of Maturity
Consideration due or payable in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of any series in a Specified Currency into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the Exchange Rate (as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent) as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the New York Banking Day immediately preceding that on which final unappealable judgment is given
and (b) its obligations to make any payment or delivery of principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest on any Security (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee,
either pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a) above) or otherwise, in any currency other than the Required Currency except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely
holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering, in the Required Currency, the amount, if any,
by which such timely holding shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be then due and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
close. Except as permitted under Section 3.12(iv), if any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency;
provided, however, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any payment in any currency tendered to or recovered by such Trustee. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate
fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, and the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full 

  

 14 

 
amount of the Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor. The Company hereby waives any defense of
payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Required Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee, is less than the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. 
  
 Moneys of Different Currencies to be Segregated. 
  
 The Trustee shall, to the extent required by law, segregate all moneys,
funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder in one currency from any money, funds or accounts in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision herein which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such moneys, funds and accounts.

appropriate record of such action shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 3.03 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are
issued in global form as permitted by Section 3.04, the form thereof also shall be established as provided in the preceding sentence. 
  
 The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any

bearer form. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, Securities in bearer form shall have interest coupons attached. 
  
 The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel
engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 At the
option of the Company, interest on the Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
  
 Denominations. 
  
 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such form and
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of each series shall be issuable only as Securities 

  

 18 

 
without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and the Bearer Securities of each series, if any,
shall be issuable with coupons and in denominations of $10,000 and $50,000. 
  
 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, one of its Vice Chairmen, its Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or one of its
Vice Presidents. The signatures of any or all of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of the Company’s Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, one of
its Vice Chairmen of the Board, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Executive Vice Presidents or the Treasurer. 
  
 Securities and coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities and such other documents as the Trustee may reasonably request, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of the Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise; provided, however,
that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have delivered to the Trustee, or such other Person as shall be specified in a temporary Global Security delivered pursuant to Section 3.04, a certificate in the
form required by Section 3.11(i). 
  
 In authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
complying with Section 1.02 and stating that, 
  
 the form of such Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  
 the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  
 all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery
of such Securities have been complied with and that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity; and 
  
 such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. 
  

 19 

 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely
affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be
required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities. 
  
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication; and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01, each Bearer Security and any temporary Global Security referred to in Section 3.04 shall be dated as of the date of issuance of such Security. 
  
 No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and
the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel but upon which the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon in accordance with Section 8.03 hereof) stating that such Security has never been issued or sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture, such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon delivery of a Company Order, the Trustee of such series
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denominations, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of any series which may be issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein. 
  
 Except in the case of temporary Securities
in global form, each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and
provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. Until so exchanged the, temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
  

 20 

 If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such temporary Global Security
shall, unless otherwise provided in such temporary Global Security, be delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository (the “Common Depository”), as directed by the Company, for the benefit of the operator of the
Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme (“Clearstream”), for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). Upon
receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate such temporary Global Security and make such indication to reflect the initial principal amount, or an increase in the principal amount, of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby. Until such initial authentication, such temporary Global Security shall not evidence any obligation of the Company. Such temporary Global Security shall at any time represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Securities theretofore indicated thereon as provided above, subject to reduction to reflect exchanges as described below. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, and subject to the second proviso in the following paragraph, the interest of a beneficial
owner of Securities in a series in a temporary Global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of such series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be,
to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form required by Section 3.11(i), dated no earlier than fifteen days prior the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall
be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall be
made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security, except that the Company may charge any Person receiving definitive Securities for the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such
Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. 
  
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than five Business Days prior to the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any
such temporary Global Security as the “Exchange Date” (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, or, if the Trustee appoints an Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14, to any such Authenticating
Agent, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, such definitive Securities shall be in
the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as may be specified by the Company to the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent, as may be appropriate. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary Global
Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository to the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge to
the Common Depository and the Trustee or any such Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series,
of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged, which, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities,
or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary Global
Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or
a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream, as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form required by Section 3.11(ii); and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary Global Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 3.03. 
  

 21 

 Upon any exchange of a portion of any such temporary Global Security, the Trustee or any such
Authenticating Agent or the Common Depository, as the case may be, shall indicate upon such temporary Global Security, the amount of such exchange to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon its remaining principal
amount shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged. Until so exchanged in full, such temporary Global Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series
authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest payable on such temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable, without interest, to Euroclear and Clearstream on or after such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, of a
certificate or certificates in the form required by Section 3.11(iii), for credit on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security on such Interest
Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form required by Section 3.11(iv). 
  
 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 With respect to Registered Securities, the Company shall keep or cause to be kept at the office of the “Security
Registrar” designated pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Section 5.02 a register (being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all Co-Security Registrars and herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and the registration of transfers of Securities and the Company shall appoint a Security Registrar,
and any “Co-Security Registrar” as may be appropriate, to keep the Security Register. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed Security Registrar with respect to the series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee. Such Security
Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such Security Register shall be available for inspection by the
Trustee at the office of the Security Registrar. In the event that any Registered Securities issued hereunder have The City of New York as a Place of Payment, the Company shall appoint either a Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar located in
The City of New York. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of
transfer by the Securityholder of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Registered Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities. Bearer Securities may not be exchanged for Bearer Securities of other authorized
denominations. 
  

 22 

 At the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities
of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in
default appertaining thereto. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in
funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such
Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Company; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency of a Paying
Agent located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be. 
  
 Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities only if (i) the depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in
writing, (ii) the depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) subject to the rules of the depository, the Company, at its option, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company
Order to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable into definitive securities, or (iv) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security
are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive
Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the
Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with
instructions given to the Trustee and the depository (which instructions shall be in writing, but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel but upon which the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon in accordance with Section 8.03 hereof), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the 

  

 23 

 
relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange
for a portion of a Global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to the depository in accordance with
the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency of such Global Security where such exchange occurs on or after
(i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

  
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security Registrar or the Co-Security Registrar for the Series) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security
Registrar or the Co-Security Registrar for the series duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in the Securities to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Securities) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.04, 4.07, or 9.06 not involving any transfer. 
  
 None of the Company, the Security Registrar or any Co-Security Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities that series selected for redemption under Section 4.03 and ending at the close of business on
(A) if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Securities of such series so selected for redemption, or (B) if Securities of the series are
issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Securities so selected for redemption in whole or in part. 
  
 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
  

If (i) any mutilated Security or Security with a mutilated coupon, surrendered to the Trustee or the Security Registrar, or if the Company, the Trustee
and the Security Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Article 8 

  

 24 

 
of the Uniform Commercial Code), the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and Stated Maturity and of like
tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and, if applicable, with coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining thereto. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable,
the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or deliver the Maturity Consideration deliverable thereon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration
and any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States, and, in the case of interest, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of
the coupons appertaining thereto. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new
Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security of any series, with
its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security with a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons. 
  
 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided, as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest on any Registered Security which is payable or deliverable, and is punctually paid, delivered or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall unless otherwise
provided in such Security be paid or delivered to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest; provided, however, that in
the case of a Registered Security originally issued between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the date of issue and ending on
such Interest Payment Date shall be paid or delivered on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date with respect to such succeeding Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the
close of business (at an office or agency referred to in Section 3.05) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable or deliverable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable or
deliverable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  

 25 

 Any interest on any Registered Security which is payable or deliverable, but is not punctually paid,
delivered or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable or deliverable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid or delivered by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or clause (ii) below. 
  
 The Company may elect to make payment or delivery of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Registered Securities
of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment or delivery of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid or delivered on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment or delivery, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money or other property equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid or delivered in respect to such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment or delivery, such money or other property when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (i). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment or delivery of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment or delivery and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment or delivery. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment or delivery of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
proposed payment or delivery of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid or delivered to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable or deliverable pursuant to the following clause (ii). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency
on the related proposed date of payment or delivery of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date for payment or delivery and Defaulted Interest will not be payable or deliverable
on such proposed date for payment or delivery in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

  
 The Company may make payment or delivery of
any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities, with respect to which there exists such default, may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment or delivery pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any other Security shall carry the right to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  

 26 

 Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Title to any Bearer Security, any coupons appertaining thereto and any temporary Global Security in bearer form shall pass
by delivery. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a Security of any
series for registration of transfer of any Registered Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment or delivery of principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration in respect of, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security, and for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon, as the case
may be, as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to
such Global Security, and such depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a depository or impair, as between a depository and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the depository (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security. 
  
 Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange, repayment, redemption or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered or surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or such Securities. All canceled Securities or coupons held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, if requested by the Company in writing. 
  
 Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
  

 27 

 Forms of Certification. 
  
 Whenever any provision of this Indenture or the forms of Securities contemplate that certifications be given
by a Person entitled to receive a Bearer Security, such certification shall be provided to the Company and the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 
  
 Whenever any provision of this Indenture or the forms of
Securities contemplate that certification be given by Euroclear and Clearstream in connection with the exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with
only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 
  
 Whenever any provision of the Indenture or the forms of Securities contemplate that certification be given by Euroclear and Clearstream in connection with payment of interest with respect to a temporary Global Security prior to the related
Exchange Date, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 
  

Whenever any provision of the Indenture or the forms of securities contemplate that certification be given by a beneficial owner of a
portion of a temporary Global Security in connection with payment or delivery of interest in respect to a temporary Global Security prior to the related Exchange Date, such certification shall be provided to the Company and the Trustee substantially
in the form of Exhibit D hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company. 
  
 Payment in Currencies. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided in Section 3.01 hereof, subject to Subsection (ii) hereof, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration if the Maturity Consideration is to be satisfied by a cash
payment, and interest on the Securities of any series, whether or not denominated in a Foreign Currency pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made in U.S. dollars. If a series of Securities is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the amount receivable in
U.S. dollars by the Holders of such series shall be determined as provided in Section 3.12(iii). 
  
 If authorized pursuant to Section 3.01, any Holder of a Security of a series of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency may elect to
receive payments in the Foreign Currency in which such Security is denominated pursuant to Section 3.01. A Holder may make such election by delivering to the Trustee a written notice thereof, in such form as may be acceptable to the Trustee, not
later than the close of business on the Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding the Maturity of an installment of
principal, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect with respect to such Holder until such Holder delivers to the Trustee a written notice rescinding such election; provided, however, that any such notice must be delivered to
such Trustee not later than the close of business on the Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as the case may be, immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding the Maturity of an installment
of principal, as the case may be, in order to be effective for the payment to be made thereon; and provided, further, that no such rescission may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Security with respect to which notice of
redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article IV. The Trustee will advise the Company in writing of the aggregate amount payable in a Foreign Currency pursuant to an election under this subsection (ii). 
  

 28 

 For each series of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Exchange Rate Agent
shall deliver to the Company and to the Trustee, by personal delivery, telecopy or other means reasonably acceptable to such Trustee and the Company, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the date each payment is
required to be made with respect to the Securities of such series, a copy of the Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate relating to each such Foreign Currency. Payments in U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 3.12(i) shall be equal to the sum obtained
by converting the specified Foreign Currency, which is to be paid in U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 3.12(i), at the applicable Exchange Rate or Market Exchange Rate set forth in such Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate. 
  
 If the Foreign Currency, other than a composite currency, in
which a series of Securities is denominated is not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then with respect to each date for the
payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities occurring after the last date on which the Foreign Currency was so used, all payments with respect to the Securities of any such series shall be made in U.S.
dollars. If payment is to be made in U.S. dollars to the Holders of any such series of Securities pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence, then the amount to be paid in U.S. dollars on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee for
the series and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to Holders of Securities of such series shall be determined by an Exchange Rate Agent and shall be equal to the sum obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into U.S. dollars at the
applicable Market Exchange Rate set forth in an Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate. 
  
 All decisions and determinations of the Company or an Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Exchange Rate, Market Exchange Rate or conversion
of Foreign Currency into U.S. dollars pursuant to Section 1.04(vii) or this Subsection shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company (in the case of a determination by an Exchange
Rate Agent), the Trustee for the series, any Paying Agent and all Holders of the Securities of such series. If a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency) in which payment of a series of Securities may be made, pursuant to Subsection (i)
above, is not available to the Company for making payments thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company, after learning thereof, will give notice thereof to the Trustee
promptly (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to the Holders of such series denominated in a Foreign Currency in the manner provided in Section 1.06) specifying the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used for the payment
of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such series of Securities. In the event any composite currency in which a Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established or is not available due
to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company, after learning thereof, will give notice thereof to the Trustee for such series promptly (and such Trustee thereafter will give notice to the Holders of such series of Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency in the manner provided in Section 1.06). In the event of any subsequent change in any Component of any composite currency in which a series of securities is denominated or payable, the Company, after learning
thereof, will give notice to the Trustee for the series similarly (and such Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06). The Trustee for such series shall be fully justified and protected in
reasonably relying and acting upon the information so received by it from the Company and from any Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently. The Company agrees to appoint and
maintain an Exchange Rate Agent as is necessary for the performance of the obligations of the Exchange Rate Agent specified herein. 
  

 29 

 CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
  
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 Applicability of Article. 
  
 Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, in accordance with this Article.

  
 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

  
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities
redeemable at the option of the Company shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount or amount of Maturity Consideration of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

  
 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

  
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to
be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount or issue price of Securities of such series or a denomination equal to or larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of such series. Unless otherwise provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, the denominations of the Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be, in the case of Registered Securities,
equal in value to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, or, in the case of Bearer Securities, equal to $10,000 or $50,000, and the principal amount of any such Securities which remains outstanding shall not be less than the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Co-Security Registrar, if any, in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount or Maturity
Consideration thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal or Maturity Consideration
of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 
  

 30 

 Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his address appearing in the Security Register. 
  
 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state: 
  
 the Redemption Date; 
  
 the Redemption Price; 
  
 if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to
be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
  
 that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and that interest, if
any, thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 
  
 the place or places where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all remaining coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of
the Redemption Price; and 
  
 that the redemption
is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 
  
 Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in
part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
  
 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

 
 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear
interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Securities for 

  

 31 

 
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that installments
of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon
presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest. Installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such on the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 
  
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security
may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as may be required to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction
shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted from the Company; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security. 
  
 Securities Redeemed in Part. 
  
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder of such Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge to the Holder, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
  
 Redemption Suspended During Event of Default. 
  
 The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities (unless all Securities then Outstanding are to be redeemed) or commence the giving of any notice of redemption
of Securities during the continuance of any Event of Default known to the Trustee; except that where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Section
14.03, redeem such Securities provided funds are deposited with it for such purpose. Subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, except as aforesaid, any moneys theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the
continuance of such Event of Default, be held in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders and applied in the manner set forth in Section 7.06; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided herein
or otherwise cured, such moneys shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article. 
  

 32 

 COVENANTS 
  

Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and Interest. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or deliver the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest (if any) on the Securities of such series and any additional amounts described in Section 5.04 in accordance with
the terms of the Securities of such series, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before
Maturity shall be payable or deliverable only outside the United States upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Any payment by the Company to a Paying
Agent hereunder shall be made in the applicable currency or currencies in which the respective payments are required to be made. 
  
 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any such series of Securities
an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment or delivered for Maturity Consideration, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series may be issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain an office or agency where any Securities of
that series may be presented or surrendered for payment (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United
States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 5.04); provided,
however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United
States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in London or Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the
Securities of that series are listed on such exchange, and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for such series located outside the United States an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that
series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any
series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that the Bearer Securities of that
series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 5.04) at the place specified for the purpose as contemplated by
Section 3.01, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Notwithstanding any other provisions, to the contrary, the Company at its option may make payment of
principal (and premium if any), Maturity Consideration and interest with respect to Registered Securities by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address appears on the registry books of the Company. 
  

 33 

 No payment or delivery of principal, premium, Maturity Consideration or interest on Bearer Securities
shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States. 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes specified above in this Section and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation, appointment or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee for such series of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless and until the Company rescinds such appointment, the Company hereby appoints the Trustee, acting through
its Corporate Trust Office, as its Paying Agent in the United States with respect to all series of Securities. 
  
 Money or Other Property for Security Payments and Deliveries to be Held in Trust. 
  
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series
of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum or other property sufficient to pay or deliver the principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest so becoming due until such sums or other property shall be paid or delivered to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. If the Company chooses to act as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall notify the Trustee 15 Business Days prior to such action. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of
Securities, it will, prior to the opening of business on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum or other property sufficient to
pay or deliver the principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest so becoming due, such sum or other property to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any), Maturity
Consideration or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent, other than the Trustee for any series of Securities, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  
 hold all sums or other property held by it for the payment of or delivery of the principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration
or interest on Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums or other property shall be paid or delivered to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
  
 give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment or delivery of principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of such series; and 
  
 at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon
the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay or deliver to the Trustee all sums or other property so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
  

 34 

 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay or deliver, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay or deliver, to the Trustee all sums or other property held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums or other property to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums or other property were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and upon such payment or delivery by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money or other property. 
  
 Any money or other property deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Security of
any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest has become due and payable or deliverable shall be paid or delivered to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held
by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment or delivery thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money or other property, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment or
delivery, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, notice that such money or other property remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less
than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money or other property then remaining will be repaid or delivered to the Company. 
  

Additional Amounts. 
  
 If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of any series or any
coupon appertaining thereto additional amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect to, any Security of any series or
payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Securities of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that,
in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed
as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 15 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to
that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment or delivery of principal (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration is made), and at least 15 days prior
to each date of payment or delivery of principal of (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will
furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment or delivery of
principal of (and premium, if any) or Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account
of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on
such payments or deliveries to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section. The Company 

  

 35 

 
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without
negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
  
 Corporate Existence. 
  
 Subject to Article X, the Company will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or
franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of Securities. 
  
 Statement as to
Compliance. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the first calendar year following the issuance of securities of any series under this Indenture, a brief certificate, which need not comply with Section 1.02, signed by the principal
executive officer, the chief financial officer or the controller of the Company, covering the period from the date of issuance of such Securities to the end of the calendar year in which such Securities were issued in the case of the first such
certificate, and covering the preceding calendar year, in the case of each subsequent certificate, stating, as to each signer thereof, that 
  
 a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision,
and 
  
 to the best of his knowledge, based on
such review, (a) the Company has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a Default by the Company in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such
condition or covenant, specifying each such Default known to him and the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such an
event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof. 
  
 For the purpose of this Section 5.06, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture. 
  
 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 5.05 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount, or if such Securities are not payable at
Maturity for a fixed principal amount, 50% of the aggregate issue price, of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the
Trustee for such series in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

 36 

 Calculation of Original Issue Discount. 
  
 To the extent applicable to the Securities of any series, the Company shall
file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities of such series as of the end of such
year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 
  
 Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five days after the Company becomes
aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default and the
action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 
  
 HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY 
  
 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. 
  
 The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee for each series 
  
 semiannually, not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, containing
the names and addresses of the Holders of Registered Securities as of such Regular Record Date, and 
  
 at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is requested to be furnished, 
  
 except that no such lists need to be furnished so long as the Trustee is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as Security Registrar for such series. 

 
 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

  
 The Trustee shall preserve, in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 6.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities received by the Trustee in
its capacity as the Security Registrar or Co-Security Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
  
 If three or more Holders of Securities of any series
(hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of
such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities
and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either 
  

 37 

 afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 6.02(i), or 
  
 inform
such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.02(i),
and as to the approximate cost of mailing such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 
  
 If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such
applicants, mail at the Company’s expense, to each Holder of a Security of such series or all Holders of Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
Section 6.02(i), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee by the Company of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the
payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail at the Company’s expense, to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a
written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law.
Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or
if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee
shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders of Securities with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise, the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants
respecting their application. 
  
 Every Holder of
Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the
names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 6.02(ii), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to
a request made under Section 6.02(ii). 
  
 Reports by
Trustee. 
  
 The term “reporting
date,” as used in this Section, shall be the date designated as such within 60 days after each December 31 commencing with December 31, 2005. On the reporting date, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Registered Securities as
provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a brief report dated as of such reporting date if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any
stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
  

 38 

 Reports by the Company. 
  
 The Company shall: 
  
 file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and
of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission,
in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, in respect of securities listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; 
  
 file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to
time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

  
 transmit by mail to Holders of Securities, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Paragraphs (i) and (ii) of
this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 
  
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
  
 REMEDIES

  
 Events of Default. 
  
 “Event of Default,” with respect to any series of Securities,
wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court
or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is
issued or in the form of Security for such series: 
  
 consent by the Company, or the entry of a decree or order by a court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction in the premises, appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official (other than a conservator) in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or all or substantially all of its property and, in the case of such a decree or order, such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date of such decree or order; or 
  

 39 

 any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

  
 The following events shall be “Defaults” with
respect to any series of Securities under this Indenture: 
  
 an Event of Default with respect to such series specified in Section 7.01; or 
  
 default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Securities of such series at its Maturity; or 
  
 default in the delivery or payment of Maturity Consideration
when due; or 
  
 default in the payment of any
interest upon any Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
  
 failure on the part of the Company to duly observe or perform any of the other covenants or agreements on its part in the Securities of
such series or in this Indenture and continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”
hereunder, shall have been given by registered mail to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed
principal amount, a majority of the aggregate issue price, of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding; or 
  
 any other Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series. 
  
 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities for which
there are Securities Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount,
25% of the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount or Maturity Consideration of all of the Securities of such series (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) to be immediately due and payable or deliverable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), and upon any
such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable or deliverable. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money or other property due or deliverable has been
obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities
of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 the Company has paid or deposited with, or delivered to, the Trustee a sum or other property sufficient to pay 
  

 40 

 all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of such series, 
  
 the principal of (and premium, if any), or Maturity
Consideration of any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, 
  
 to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series, and 
  
 all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
the Security Registrar, Co-Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, and their agents and counsel; and 
  
 all other Defaults with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of, or non-delivery of the
Maturity Consideration of, Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.13. 
  
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

  
 The Company covenants that if 
  
 default is made in the payment of any installment of
interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
  
 default is made in the payment or delivery of the principal of (or premium, if any, on), or the delivery of the Maturity Consideration of
any Security of any series at the Maturity thereof, 
  
 the Company will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay or deliver to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto, if any, the whole amount or other property then due and payable or deliverable on any such Security or coupon for
principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest, with interest on the overdue principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be lawful) upon overdue installments of
interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 
  
 If the Company fails to pay or deliver such amounts and/or other consideration forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums or other property so due and unpaid or not delivered, and may 

  

 41 

 
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys or other property adjudged or decreed to be payable or deliverable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
  
 If a Default with respect to any series of Securities occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  
 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, judgment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal or Maturity Consideration of any Securities shall then be due and payable or deliverable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
(and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and interest owing and unpaid or undelivered in respect of the Securities of each series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial
proceeding, and 
  
 to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments or deliveries to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments or deliveries directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or
coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such
proceeding. 
  
 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and
claims under this Indenture or under the Securities of any series or coupons (if any) appertaining thereto, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or coupons appertaining thereto
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be 

  

 42 

 
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series and coupons appertaining thereto in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 Application of Money or Other Property Collected. 
  
 Subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, any money or other property collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at
the date or dates fixed by the Trustee, and, in case of the distribution of such money or other property on account of principal (or premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest upon presentation of the Securities of such series or coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07; 
  
 To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the
Securities of such series and coupons for principal of (and premium if any), Maturity Consideration and interest, respectively. Subject to 3.12(iv), the Holders of each series of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be entitled to
receive a ratable portion of the amount determined by an Exchange Rate Agent by converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of Securities in the currency in which such series of Securities is denominated into U.S. dollars at the
Exchange Rate (as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent) as of the date of declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Securities (or, if there is no such rate on such date for the reasons specified in Section 3.12(iv), such rate of the date
specified in such section); 
  
 The balance, if
any, to the persons entitled thereto. 
  
 Limitation on
Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Security of any series or any
related coupons shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
  
 such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Default with respect to Securities of such series; 
  
 the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request; 
  

 43 

 the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
  
 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount,
the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series of Holders of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of such series. 
  
 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal, Premium, Maturity Consideration and Interest. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security or coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security or payment of such
coupon on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment or delivery, and such rights shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder
of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then
and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee
and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or
coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  

 44 

 Control by Securityholders. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount, or if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed
principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
  
 such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 
  
 such direction is not unjustly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders of such series not taking part in such direction; 
  
 subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in good faith, shall by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine
that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustees in personal liability; and 
  
 the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
  
 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount, or if such
Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price, of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past Default hereunder and its
consequences, except a Default not theretofore cured 
  
 in the payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any), Maturity Consideration or interest on any Security of such series, or 
  
 in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
  
 Upon any
such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to
this Indenture agree and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and

 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 Except during the continuance of a Default with respect to any series of Securities, 
  
 the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and only with respect
to any series of Securities as to which it is Trustee, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
  
 in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon certificates, notices, requests, directions or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any
such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the
Indenture. 
  
 In case a Default has occurred and
is continuing as to a series of Securities as to which it is Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
  
 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 
  

 46 

 this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (i) of this
Section or Section 8.03; 
  
 the Trustee shall
not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount, or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series; and 

 
 no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  
 Notice of Default. 
  
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder known to the Trustee with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear
in the Security Register notice of such default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), Maturity
Consideration or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; and
provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 7.01(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 30 days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” with respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, a Default or Event of Default with respect
to Securities of such series. 
  
 Certain Rights of Trustee.

  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01:

be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document

 the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or

compliance with such request or direction; 
  
 the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture; and 
  
 the rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and
other Person employed to act hereunder; and 
  
 except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the
Securities, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with securities laws in connection with issuance and sale of the Securities; and 
  

 48 

 in the event the Trustee shall receive inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity
from two or more groups of Owners, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken; and 

 
 except as otherwise expressly provided by the provisions
of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be obligated and may not be required to give or furnish any notice, demand, report, request, reply, statement advice or opinion to the Owner of any Securities or to the Company or any other Person, and the
Trustee shall not incur any liability for its failure or refusal to give or furnish the same unless obligated or required to do so by express provisions hereof. 
  

Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use or application of any monies received by any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar, any Co-Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 8.08 and 8.13, may otherwise deal
with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Co-Security Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 Money or Other Property Held in Trust. 
  
 Subject to Section 1.16, money or other property held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds or other property except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any money or other property received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed

 The Company agrees: 
  
 to pay to each of the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any
Co-Security Registrar and Paying Agent, as the case may be, from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by
any provisions of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to pay to or to reimburse each of the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any Co-Security
Registrar and any Paying Agent, as the case may be, upon their request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by any one of them in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable

 49 

 to indemnify each of the Trustee, the Security Registrar, any Co-Security Registrar and
any Paying Agent, as the case may be, for, and to hold each of them harmless against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the part of such entity, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a
Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 8.07(iii) shall survive the termination and discharge of the Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee for any reason. 
  
 As
security for the performance of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 8.07, the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall have a lien prior to the Securities of all such series upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any), or interest, if any, on Securities of any such series. The claims of the Trustee under this Section shall not be subject to the provisions of
Article XIV. 
  
 The obligations of the Company under this Section
shall survive the resignation and removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses or administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special,
punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
  
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws,
ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
  
 The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the
period of time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with
respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series. 
  
 Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  

 50 

 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of
Securities hereunder which shall at all times be either 
  
 a Corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers
and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority or 
  
 a Corporation or association organized or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is
permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political
subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, 
  
 in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. 
  
 If such Corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation or national banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If at
any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

  
 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

  
 No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 
  
 The Trustee may resign with respect to any series of
Securities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee, required by Section 8.11, shall not have been delivered to the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series. 
  
 The Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of
Securities at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series. 
  

 51 

 If at any time: 
  
 the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series
of Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of any series for at least six months; or 
  
 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of Securities of such series; or 
  
 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 of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, (1) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (2) subject to Section 7.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
  
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a vacancy shall
occur in the office of Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being
understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to other Securities of any particular series) and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be appointed by the
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee with respect to such series, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If
no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 
  
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders
of Registered Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each
Place of Payment located outside the United States. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  

 52 

 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to any series of Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee or Trustees an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Trustees shall become effective with respect to all or any series as to which it is resigning as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee or Trustees with respect to all or any such series; but, on request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee or Trustees shall upon payment of its charges
and all amounts owing under Section 8.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of such retiring Trustee or Trustees with respect to all or any such series; and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee or Trustees hereunder with respect to all or any such series. 
  
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
(but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (b) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (c) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that
no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for
the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request to the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
  
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (i)
and (ii) of this Section, as the case may be. 
  

 53 

 No successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities shall accept its appointment
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to such series under this Article. 
  
 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
or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association 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 or national banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
  
 Preferential Collection of Claims against Company. 
  

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to each series of Securities for which it is Trustee. 

 
 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
  
 At any time when any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities, which may include any Affiliate of the Company. Such Authenticating Agent or Agents, at the option of the Trustee, shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by a Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication or the delivery of Securities to the Trustee for authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent, a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and delivery of Securities to the Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation or national
banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus as most
recently reported or determined by it sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized and in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and which is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business
and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Authenticating Agent located outside the United States may be appointed by the Trustee if previously approved in writing by the Company and
if such Authenticating Agent has a combined capital and surplus as most recently reported or determined by it sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized and in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business. 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. 
  

 54 

 The Trustee shall initially act as Authenticating Agent located within the United States for each series
of Securities issued hereunder. 
  
 Any corporation or national
banking association into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating
Agent, provided such corporation or national banking association 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 (and upon request by the Company shall) 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 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 Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
  
 The provisions of Sections 3.08, 8.04 and 8.05 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent. 
  
 If an appointment with respect to one or
more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series covered by such appointment may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication an alternate certificate of authentication in the
following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities of the series
designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
  
 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. 
  
 Without notice to or the consent of any Holder of any Security or coupon,

any rights or power herein conferred upon the Company; or 
  
 to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect; or 
  
 to add any additional Defaults or Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities
(and, if such Default or Event of Default is applicable to less than all series of Securities, specifying the series to which such Default or Event of Default is applicable); or 
  
 to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer Securities may be

Registered Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form, provided any such action shall not adversely affect
the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect; or 
  
 to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that, any such change or elimination shall become
effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is adversely affected in any material respect by such change in or elimination of such provisions; or 

 
 to establish the form or terms of a Security of any
series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01; or 
  

 56 

 to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee
securing any series of Security; or 
  
 to
provide for conversion rights of the Holders of the Securities of any series to enable such Holders to convert such Securities into other securities of the Company.

 With the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount or, if such Securities are not payable at Maturity for a fixed principal amount, 66 2/3% of the aggregate issue price of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture

provisions of this Section or Section 7.13, 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 

  

 57 

 
respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section and Section 5.09 or the deletion of this proviso, in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 8.11(ii) and 9.01(ii). 
  
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provisions of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
  
 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the
trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 1.02, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by and complies with this Indenture and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, liabilities, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

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

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

supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities. 
  

 58 

 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE OR TRANSFER 
  
 Company May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

  
 The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into
any other corporation, bank or other entity or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless 
  
 the corporation, bank or other entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by
conveyance or transfer or which leases the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation, bank or other entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment or delivery of the principal of (and premium, if any),
Maturity Consideration and interest on (including all additional amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5.04) all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

  
 immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and 
  
 the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; 
  
 provided, that, the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be changed as to any series of
Securities if and to the extent provided in an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 establishing the terms of such series of Securities. 
  
 Successor Corporation Substituted. 
  
 Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as
an entirety in accordance with Section 10.01, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every
right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein. In the event of any such conveyance or transfer, the Company as the predecessor corporation shall be
relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter. 
  
 Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, 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 corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to such provisions and any
Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf for the purpose pursuant to such provisions. All the Securities 

  

 59 

 
so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued
as may be appropriate. 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

  
 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

  
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be
of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive payments thereon and any right to receive additional amounts, as provided in Section
5.04), and each Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 
  
 either 
  
 all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (1) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for exchange
for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange, whose surrender is not required or has not been waived as provided in Section 3.05, (2) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities called for redemption and maturing after the relevant
Redemption Date, whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 4.07, (3) Securities and coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06, and (4) Securities for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 5.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

  
 all such Securities not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation 
  
 have become due and payable,
or 
  
 will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year, or 
  
 are to be called for redemption within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
  

and the Company, in the case of (b)(1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the
purpose, an amount (said amount to be immediately due and payable to the Holders) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and coupons of the relevant series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
  

 60 

 the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company; and 
  
 the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 8.07, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 8.14 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (i) of this
Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 11.02 and the last paragraph of Section 5.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. The Trustee may give notice to the Holders of Securities Outstanding of the immediate availability of
the amount referred to in Clause (i) of this Section 11.01. Funds held pursuant to this Section shall not be subject to the provisions of Article XIV. 
  
 In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of the Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of all series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. The effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditional upon receipt of such
instruments from the Trustee. 
  
 Application of Trust Money
or Property. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 5.03, all money or property deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 in respect of Securities of a series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities, the coupons,
if any, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any),
Maturity Consideration and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; unless otherwise specified herein, such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, 
 OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 
  
 Exemption from Individual Liability. 
  
 No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, or of any Security or coupon, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations of the Company, and that
no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the
indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities 

  

 61 

 
or coupons or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any
and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in
this Indenture or in any of the Securities or coupons or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the Securities. 
  
 SINKING FUNDS 
  
 Applicability of Article. 
  
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series. 
  
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking
fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series. 
  
 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities. 
  
 The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding
Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series, with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have
been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any
part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee for the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly. 
  
 Redemption of Securities for
Sinking Fund. 
  
 Not less than 90 days prior to each
sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Security Registrar an Officers’ Certificate specifying (i) the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to
the terms of that series, (ii) the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 13.02 (such
Security to be credited, or proof of ownership thereof by the Company satisfactory to the Trustee, to be delivered together with the Officers’ Certificate), and (iii) that none of such Securities has theretofore been so credited and stating the
basis for such credit, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in
the manner specified in Section 4.03 

  

 62 

 
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 4.04. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.06 and 4.07 and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.08. 
  
 SUBORDINATION 
  
 Agreement to Subordinate. 
  
 The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees,
and each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment or delivery of the principal of and premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment or delivery to the prior payment or satisfaction in full of all Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities. 
  
 In the event of any distribution of assets of the Company upon any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and
liabilities of the Company (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the
Securities and the Holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law), 
  
 the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment or delivery in full in accordance with the terms of such
Senior Indebtedness of the principal thereof, premium, if any, and the interest due thereon (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or delivery upon the principal of or premium, if any, Maturity Consideration or interest on indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities; 
  
 any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XIV, including any such
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, in accordance with the priorities then existing among holders of Senior Indebtedness for payment of the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on
account of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar
law now or hereafter in effect) on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of 

  

 63 

 
such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that if the Holders of Securities shall fail to file a proper claim in the form required by any proceeding
referred to in this subparagraph (ii) prior to thirty days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf of the
Holders of Securities in the form required in any such proceeding; and 
  
 in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution
which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinate to the payment of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is
paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision thereof) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all
indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subordination) to the rights of the holders
of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest on the Securities shall
be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions hereof of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the
Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 It is understood that the provisions of this Article XIV are intended solely
for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities
is intended to or shall (i) impair, as between the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute (and which, subject to the rights under this Article XIV of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to
the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (ii) affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, (iii) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XIV of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received
upon the exercise of any such remedy or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or premium, if any, Maturity Consideration or
interest on the Securities or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of such moneys, if, prior to the second Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have written notice, in accordance with Section
14.06 hereof, of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice which may be received by it on or after such second Business Day. 
  

 64 

 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XIV, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are
pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution,
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIV. In the absence of
any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person or any certification by any such person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or
representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with
respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Senior Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as
to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section, and if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its
covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee, however, shall
not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company moneys or assets to
which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV. 
  
 Payments on Securities Prohibited During Event of Default Under Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior Indebtedness beyond
any applicable period of grace, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a result of the payment referred to hereinafter, permitting the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or
delivery of principal of, or premium, Maturity Consideration or interest on the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities, shall be made by the Company. 
  
 Reserved. 
  
 Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination.

  
 Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIV and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

  

 65 

 Notice to Trustee. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of the Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying
Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee assigned to its Corporate Trust Department or such Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the representative of any such holder and prior to receipt of
any such written notice the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such indebtedness or event exists; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date
upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal, issue price, accrued original issue discount, redemption price or interest, if any, as the case may be, in
respect of any Security), the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 14.06, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply
the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person
is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment which it may be required to make for
the benefit of such Person pursuant to the terms of this Indenture pending judicial determination as to the rights of such Person to receive such payment. 
  
 Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 The Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Article in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it in its
individual capacity to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
  
 Article XIV Not to Prevent Defaults or Events of Default.

  
 The failure to make a payment pursuant to the

 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES AND TRANSFERS IN 
 CERTAIN SITUATIONS 
  
 The following provisions
shall only be applicable if the terms of the Securities of the series provide for their inclusion as permitted under Section 3.01 of the Indenture: 
  
 SECTION 3.14. Book-Entry Provisions. 
  
 Securities offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers, as such terms is defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) (“QIB”) in reliance on Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A Notes”) shall be represented by one or more Securities in registered, global form without interest
coupons (collectively, the “Restricted Global Note”). Securities offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S Notes”) initially shall be
represented by one or more Securities in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note,” and, together with the Restricted Global Note and any other global notes representing Notes,
the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository Trust Company or another person designated as depository by the Company, which person must be a clearing agency registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Depository”) or the nominee of such Depository, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member (or, in the case of the Regulation S Global Notes, of Euroclear System
(“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking Luxembourg (“Clearstream”)), (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository. 
  
 Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights
under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 
  
 Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in
part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the
provisions of Section 3.05. In all cases, definitive Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the
Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures). 
  
 In
connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners of definitive Securities pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall reflect on 

  

 D-3 

 
its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more definitive Securities of like
tenor and amount. 
  
 In connection with the transfer of Global
Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each
beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations 
  
 On or prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the
offering of the Securities represented by the Regulation S Global Note and the issue date of such Securities (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the corresponding Restricted Global Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being
made (i)(a) to a person that the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (b) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act which is accompanied by
an opinion of counsel regarding the availability of such exemption and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with
Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
  
 Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a
person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all
transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
  
 The holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 3.15. Special Transfer Provisions. 
  
 Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration or any proposed registration of transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Note to a QIB (excluding transfers to
Non-U.S. Persons): 
  
 the Registrar shall
register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor to a transferee who has advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it
exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, 

  

 
and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it
has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

  
 if the proposed transferee is an Agent
Member, and the Notes to be transferred consist of definitive Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the
Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the definitive Securities to be transferred, and the
Trustee shall cancel the definitive Securities so transferred. 
  
 Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a private placement legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear a private placement legend. Upon the
registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing a private placement legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear a private placement legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Security has
been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Company to such effect. 
  
 General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing a private placement legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges
the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 
  
 The Registrar shall retain for a period of two years copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to this section and the previous section. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the
Registrar.First Supplemental Indenture dated June 1, 2005

holders of such Priority Indebtedness; it being understood that if the Holders of Notes shall fail to file a proper claim in the form required by any proceeding referred to in this subparagraph (b) prior to thirty days before the expiration of the
time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Priority Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for and on behalf of the Holders of Notes in the form required in any such proceeding; and 
  
 (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of
the Company being subordinate to the payment of the Notes, shall be received by the Trustee or Holders of the Notes before all Priority Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of and shall be paid
over to the holders of such Priority Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Priority Indebtedness may have been issued, as
aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Priority Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Priority Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision thereof) to the
holders of such Priority Indebtedness. 
  
 (2) Subject to the
payment in full of all Priority Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to
substantially the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subordination) to the rights of the holders of Priority Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company
applicable to the Priority Indebtedness until the principal of and premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders of such Priority Indebtedness to which the
Holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions hereof of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the Priority Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Priority
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Notes, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Priority Indebtedness.

 (3) It is understood that the provisions of Article XIV of the Original Indenture and Sections 2.09 and
2.10 hereof are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of Priority Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in Article XIV of the Original Indenture,
Sections 2.09 or 2.10 hereof or elsewhere in the Original Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall (i) impair, as between the Company, and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute (and
which, subject to the rights under Article XIV of the Original Indenture or Sections 2.09 and 2.10 hereof of the holders of Priority Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders
of the Notes the principal of, premium, if any, Maturity Consideration and interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, (ii) affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company, other than
the holders of the Priority Indebtedness, (iii) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under Article XIV of
the Original Indenture or Sections 2.09 or 2.10 hereof, of the holders of Priority Indebtedness, in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee
or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or premium, if any, Maturity Consideration or interest on the Notes or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of such
moneys, if, prior to the second Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have written notice, in accordance with Section 14.06 of the Original Indenture, of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the
Company and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice which may be received by it on or after such second Business Day. 
  
 (4) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Article XIV of the Original Indenture or this Section 2.10, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Original Indenture, and the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of the Priority Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
Article XIV of the Original Indenture or this Section 2.10. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person or any certification by any such person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Priority Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Priority Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the
Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Priority Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Priority Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to
other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

  
 (5) With respect to the holders of Priority Indebtedness, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Priority Indebtedness shall be read into

  

 5 

 this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Priority Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Notes or the Company moneys or assets to which any holders of Priority Indebtedness shall be entitled by
virtue of Article XIV of the Original Indenture or this Section 2.10. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment 
  
 Upon any declaration of acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Original Indenture, the principal amount or Maturity Consideration of
all of the Notes of such series (or, if the Notes of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) shall become immediately due and payable or
deliverable; provided, however, that the Company will not repay the principal amount of any Note prior to the Maturity of such Note upon such a declaration of acceleration without first obtaining the prior written approval of the North
Carolina Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and any other required regulatory entities.

 5.125% SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2015

  
 CUSIP NO.: 319477 AF 2 
  
 FIRST-CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY, a North Carolina bank (hereinafter
called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture (as defined below) hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
$125,000,000 on June 1, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon at the rate per annum of 5.125% from and including June 1, 2005, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, semi-annually in arrears on each September 30 and March 31, commencing September 30, 2005, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date 

 will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered at the
close of business on the 15th calendar day of the month during which the relevant Interest Payment Date occurs (the
“Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Subordinated Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Subordinated Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Interest payable for any full semi-annual period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable for any partial semi-annual period will be
computed based on the actual number of days elapsed during that 180-day period. 
  
 The indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, a general unsecured obligation of the Company, and is subordinate, to the extent and in the manner
set forth in the Indenture, in right of payment or delivery to the prior payment or satisfaction in full of all Senior Indebtedness, all claims of the Company’s depositors, the Company’s obligations under banker’s acceptances and
letters of credit, the Company’s obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank and any obligations to the Company’s other general or secured creditors. This Subordinated Note is issued subject to such provisions and each Holder of this
Subordinated Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, and authorizes the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate such subordination as provided in the
Indenture and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 
  
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on this Subordinated Note will be made at the offices or agencies of the Company maintained for that purpose in the city of New York, New York, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check drawn upon any
Paying Agent and mailed on or prior to an Interest Payment Date to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. In the event that an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business
Day, the amount payable on such date shall be payable on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment had been made on such date without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay.

  
 This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (herein called the
“Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all Indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities (including this Subordinated Note), and the terms upon which the Securities (including this Subordinated Note) are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Subordinated Note is one of a series of Subordinated Notes
of the Company designated as its 5.125% Subordinated Notes due 2015 (herein called the “Subordinated Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $125,000,000. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth therein and in this Subordinated
Note, the transfer of this Subordinated Note may be registered in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on this Subordinated Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory 
  

 2 

 to the Company, duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Subordinated Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Subordinated Notes are issuable only as registered Subordinated Notes without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, this Subordinated Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
  
 The Subordinated Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund. 

 
 Each of the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the option of the
Company (an “Optional Redemption”) at any time, in whole or in part, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.04 of the Indenture, at a Redemption Price calculated in accordance with Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture;
provided, however, that interest installments on Subordinated Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Subordinated Notes of record at the close of business on the relevant
Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. The Subordinated Notes may only be redeemed by the Company upon the prior written approval of the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and any other required regulatory entities including, if required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, at their maturity. 
  
 In the event of a redemption of the Subordinated Notes, the Company will not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of Subordinated Notes
for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Subordinated Notes called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Subordinated Note, or portion thereof,
called for redemption. 
  
 Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Subordinated Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment
as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Subordinated Notes shall contain the additional provisions relating to
book-entry securities and transfers in certain situations set forth in Exhibit E to the Indenture. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected by such amendment
or modification under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each such series to be so affected. In addition, the Indenture permits, in
certain circumstances set forth in the Indenture, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee to amend 
  

 3 

 or supplement the Indenture without notice to or the consent of any Holders of the Securities. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Subordinated Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Subordinated Note
and of any Subordinated Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Subordinated Note. 
  
 This Subordinated Note is ineligible as collateral for a loan from the
Company. 
  
 By accepting this Subordinated Note, a depository
institution that is a Holder hereof agrees to waive any right of set-off, counterclaim or combination of accounts with respect to the Subordinated Note or the Indenture (or between the Company’s obligations under or in respect of any
Subordinated Note and any liability owed by the holder to the Company) that such Holder or Holders might otherwise have against the Company. 
  
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Subordinated Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on this Subordinated Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed. 
  
 This Subordinated Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
  
 All terms used in this Subordinated Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, directly or through an authenticating
agent, by the manual signature of an authorized officer, this Subordinated Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
