(x)) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or upon any such
determination as to the presence of a quorum, only Debt Securities that the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded; provided, however, that Debt Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate
of the Company or of such other obligor; and

 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to
legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which

respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document
or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally
filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with
respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company
which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect (except to
the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith or had or could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Holders of any Debt Securities issued hereunder). 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Debt Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument
shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Debt Securities. 

Section 1.04 Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made,
given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the
record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII, or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at
any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by

any Person of a Debt Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 9.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 13.06. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or may be proved in any
other manner that the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 

(c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y) of the proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial
numbers of Debt Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Debt Security Register. 
 (d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of a Holder shall bind every future Holder of the same Debt Security and the Holder of every Debt Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Debt Security. 

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal
amount of Debt Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Debt Securities by written notice by such Holder or
any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven. 
 (f) Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new Debt
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series or Tranche. 
 (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but
the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the
close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Debt Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debt Securities shall be computed as of the record date.

 Section 1.06 Notice to Holders of Debt Securities; Waiver. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be

 11 

 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders 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 is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event
otherwise to be specified therein, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
 Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required or deemed to be included in
this Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control.

The Article and Section headings in this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 1.11 Benefits of
Indenture.

hereto, their successors hereunder, the Holders, [and so long as the notice described in Section 15.14 hereof has not been given, the holders of Senior Indebtedness,]* any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.

 Section 1.12 Governing Law. 

This Indenture and the Debt Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to conflicts of law principles thereof, except to the extent that the law of any other jurisdiction shall be mandatorily applicable. 

Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Debt Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place
of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities other than a provision in Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or in the indenture supplemental hereto, Board Resolution or
Officer’s Certificate that establishes the terms of the Debt Securities of such series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not

Section 2.03 Debt Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security. 

(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee thereunder,
authenticate and deliver such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such
Global Security or Securities, (ii) may provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges, (iii) shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iv) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (v) shall bear a legend in accordance with the requirements of
the Depositary. The Trustee shall enter into any agreement with the Depositary related to such Global Securities as the Company may direct in such Company Order. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or of Section 3.05, except as contemplated by the provisions
of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the
manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee
of such successor Depositary. 
 (c) (1) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as the Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of such series in the form of definitive certificates in exchange for such Global
Security, will

authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of such series in the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security in exchange for such Global Security. Such Debt Securities will be issued to and registered in the name of such Person or Persons as are specified by the Depositary. 

(2) To the extent legally permitted and subject to the rules and regulations of the acting Depositary, the Company may at any
time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In any such event the Company will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities in the form of definitive certificates in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver without
service charge to each Person specified by the Depositary Debt Securities in the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security representing such series,
or the aggregate principal amount of such Global Securities representing such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

(3) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Debt Securities issued or
issuable in the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities in the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms on such terms as
are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of
the same series of like tenor and terms and any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security and (B) to such
Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities
delivered to Holders thereof. 
 (4) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three subparagraphs, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Debt Securities in the form of definitive certificates in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for Debt Securities in the form of
definitive certificates, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Except as provided in the immediately preceding subparagraph, Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, acting pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Provided that the Company and the Trustee

or any increase or decrease in such principal amount, or changes in the rights of Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in or pursuant to any
applicable letter of representations or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such Global Security or in the Company Order delivered or to be delivered pursuant to
Section 3.03 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any such Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the

Order pursuant to Section 3.03 is so delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to such Global Security contained therein shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s
Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 Section 3.02 Denominations. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, or any

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, or any
Tranche thereof, the Debt Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer and may have the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by any other Authorized Officer. The signature of
any or all of these officers on the Debt Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Debt Securities bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution Authorized 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 Debt Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Debt Securities. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Debt
Securities of a series, for original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of: 

(a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of such series, as provided in
Sections 2.01 and 3.01;

Securities and, to the extent that the terms of such Debt Securities shall not have been established in an indenture supplemental hereto or in a Board Resolution, or in an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board
Resolution, all as contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, either (i) establishing such terms or (ii) in the case of Debt Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, specifying procedures,
acceptable to the Trustee, by which such terms are to be established (which procedures may provide, to the extent acceptable to the Trustee, for authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or any agent or
agents thereof, which oral instructions are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in writing), in either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above; 

(c) the Debt Securities of such series, executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer; 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 20 

 (d) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 

(i) the form or forms of such Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) the terms of such Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (iii) assuming authentication and delivery by the Trustee and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such Debt Securities will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to
enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); 
 provided, however, that, with respect to Debt Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of such Debt Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the authentication and delivery of all
Debt Securities of such series) and that in lieu of the opinions described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above Counsel may opine that: 

(x) when the terms of such Debt Securities shall have been established pursuant to a Company Order or Orders or pursuant to
such procedures (acceptable to the Trustee) as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such terms will
have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(y) such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and the Company
Order or Orders or specified procedures referred to in paragraph (x) above and issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture
and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

With respect to Debt Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the
Company of any of such Debt Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01
and 3.01 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Debt Securities of such series unless and until such opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In
connection with the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s instructions to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities do not
violate any rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company. 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 21 

 If the form or terms of the Debt Securities of any series have been established by or pursuant to
a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate as permitted by Sections 2.01 or 3.01, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities pursuant to
this Indenture will materially or adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, or any
Tranche thereof, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on
such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or its agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the
Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Debt Security to the Debt Security Registrar 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) stating that such Debt Security has never been issued
and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits hereof. 

Section 3.04 Temporary Debt Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Debt Securities in
lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Debt Securities; provided,
however, that temporary Debt Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions. 
 Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary
Debt Securities of such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Debt Securities of such series or Tranche, upon surrender of such temporary Debt Securities at the office or agency of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 6.02 in a Place of Payment for such Debt 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 22 

 
Securities. Upon such surrender of temporary Debt Securities, the Company shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Debt
Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 Until exchanged
in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor authenticated and delivered
hereunder. 
 Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept in each office designated pursuant to Section 6.02, with respect to the Debt
Securities of each series or any Tranche thereof, a register (all registers kept in accordance with this Section being collectively referred to as the “Debt Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Debt Securities of such series or Tranche and the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Debt Security Register for the Debt
Securities of each series on a consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Debt Security Registrar.” Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one
or more of its offices as an office in which the Debt Security Register shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Debt Security Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Debt Security Register shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 6.02 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one
or more new Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, or
any Tranche thereof, any Debt Security of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder for one or more new Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Debt Securities delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Debt Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debt Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 23 

 Every Debt Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall
(if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Debt Security Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Debt Security Registrar, as the case may
be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 4.06 or
12.06 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of
or the exchange of (a) Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the day the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Debt Securities of such series or Tranche is to be made or
(b) any Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part. 

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

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities. 

If any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Debt Security of the same series, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction,
loss or theft of any Debt Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Debt Security is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Debt Security, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the
same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay such Debt Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Debt 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 24 

 Every new Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Debt Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Debt
Security, and any such new Debt Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of such series duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities. 
 Section 3.07 Payment of Interest and Additional
Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect
to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on any Debt Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name that Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

[Subject to Section 3.12]* any interest on any Debt Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Company
may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called a
“Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Debt
Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Debt Securities of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Debt Security

 25 

 
Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Debt Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debt Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and
Section 3.05, each Debt Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the rights to interest (including any Additional
Interest) accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Debt Security. 
 Section 3.08 Persons Deemed
Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Debt Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to
Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest, if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt 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. 
 Section 3.09 Cancellation by Debt Security Registrar. 

All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Debt Security Registrar, be delivered to the Debt Security Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Debt Security Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Debt Security Registrar for cancellation
any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Debt Security Registrar. No Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All certificates representing canceled
Debt Securities held by the Debt Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary practices of the Debt Security Registrar at the time in effect, and the Debt Security Registrar shall not be required to destroy any such
certificates. The Debt Security Registrar, if other than the Trustee, shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition with respect to such disposed certificates to the Trustee and the Company unless, by a Company Order, similarly delivered, the
Company shall direct that canceled Debt Securities be returned to it. The Debt Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Debt Security in accordance with this Section to the Trustee

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed within any month in relation to the deemed 30 days of such month. 
 Section 3.11 Payment to be in
Proper Currency. 
 In the case of the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, denominated in any currency other than

payment of the principal thereof, or the premium or interest thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, 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. 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. 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, the Company shall
remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct.

 Section 4.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution and/or an Officer’s Certificate. The
Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Debt
Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Debt Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to
an election of the Company that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Debt Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

Section 4.03 Selection of Debt Securities to be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any particular series, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such
method of random selection as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or Tranche or
any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however,
that if, as indicated in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Debt Securities
as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Debt Securities that have not been so tendered.

 If the Debt Securities are then held in the form of a Global Security, the Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance
with the customary procedures of the Depositary. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Debt Security Registrar in writing
of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Debt Securities shall

Section 4.04 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders of the Debt Securities to

particular Debt Securities to be redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Debt Security to be redeemed in part, 
 (d) that on
the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Debt Security to be redeemed and, if applicable and provided that
the Redemption Price is received by the Paying Agent or Agents on or prior to the Redemption Date, that interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 

(e) the place or places where such Debt Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,
unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to such Debt Securities that such surrender shall not be required, 

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the case, and 

(g) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate (including CUSIP numbers with respect to such Debt Securities, if the
Company shall so elect, in which event such notice of redemption may contain a disclaimer as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or on such notice of redemption). 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Debt Securities in accordance with Section 3.01, with respect to any
notice of redemption of Debt Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Debt Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 7.01, such notice may state
that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Debt Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Debt Securities. In the event
that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given,
that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or Agents for the Debt Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Debt Securities that
had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 
 Notice of redemption of Debt Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Debt Security Registrar in the name and at the
expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Debt Securities shall be given by the Debt Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company.

 Section 4.05 Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Debt
Securities or portions thereof 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, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company
shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any) such Debt Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debt Security
for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Debt Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any, to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to such Debt Security; and provided, further, that
except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to such Debt Security, any installment of interest on any Debt Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Debt Security, or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Debt Security and subject to the
provisions of Section 3.07.

so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security, without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered.

payment; provided, however, that no Debt Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment if such Debt Securities shall have been previously so applied. Debt Securities so applied shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 5.03 Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying:

payment;

(e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of such
series or Tranche pursuant to Section 5.02 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Debt Securities have not previously been so credited, and, if it has not already done so, the Company shall also deliver to the
Trustee any Debt Securities to be so delivered.

Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article VII; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 7.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Debt Securities. 

Any Debt Security or Debt Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of
this Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in
trust: 
 (a) money in an amount that shall be sufficient, or 

(b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Debt Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not
contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on that when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with
the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or 
 (c) a combination of (a) or
(b) that shall be sufficient, 
 to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, due and to
become due on such Debt Securities or portions thereof on or prior to Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Debt Securities of any series or Tranche, such Debt
Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Trustee as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall have been given
by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent:

and Eligible Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 7.03; 

(y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute
Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to
the effect that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 35 

 (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Debt
Securities, an Officer’s Certificate stating the Company’s intention that, upon delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Debt Securities or portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as
contemplated in this Section. 
 If the Company shall make any deposit of money and/or Eligible Obligations with respect to any Debt
Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, as contemplated by this section, the Company shall not deliver an Officer’s Certificate described in clause (z) above unless the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee,
together with such Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as a result of a change in law occurring after the date of this Indenture, the Holders of such Debt Securities, or portions thereof, will not recognize income,
gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, at the same
times and in the same manner as if such satisfaction and discharge had not been effected. 
 Upon the deposit of money or Eligible
Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in writing that the Debt Security or Debt
Securities or portions thereof with respect to which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as
contemplated in this Section. In the event that all of the conditions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section shall have been satisfied in respect of any Debt Securities or portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer’s
Certificate specified in clause (z) shall not have been delivered, such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such Debt Securities or portions
thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company under Article VI (except the covenants contained in Sections 6.02 and
6.03) or any other covenants made in respect of such Debt Securities or portions thereof as contemplated by Section 3.01, but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of such Debt Securities or portions thereof
shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose, and the Holders of such Debt Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be entitled to look to the Company for payment of the indebtedness
represented thereby; and, upon receipt of a Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such Debt Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture. 

If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the
manner and with the effect provided in this Section, the Trustee shall select such Debt Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 4.03 for selection for redemption of less than
all the Debt Securities of a series or Tranche. 
 In the event that Debt Securities that shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of
this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the Company’s indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this Section, do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the 60-day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with
respect to such Debt Securities, to the Holders of such Debt Securities to the effect that such deposit has been made and the effect thereof.

 36 

 Notwithstanding that any Debt Securities shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee in respect of such Debt Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 4.04, 5.03 (as to notice of redemption), 6.02,
6.03, 9.07, 9.14 and 9.15 and this Article shall survive. 
 The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the
Trustee or any Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this Section against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in
respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Debt Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes
of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the Company or its representative under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, such Debt Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected,
and such Debt Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect of any Debt Security shall be subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 6.03. 
 Section 7.02 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 
 (a) no Debt
Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company; 
 provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 7.01, any Debt Security,
previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain
in full force and effect, and the Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

survive. 
 Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over

 Section 7.03 Application of Trust Money.

 Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to Section 7.01, nor the principal or interest
payments on any such Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on, the
Debt Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.03; provided, however, that, so long as there shall not
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if
not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested in Eligible Obligations of the type described in Section 7.01(b) maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay when
due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, due and to become due on such Debt Securities or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall
be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 9.07; and provided, further, that, so long as there shall not have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, any moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Debt Securities in
excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, then due on such Debt Securities shall be paid over to the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under
this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 9.07; and provided, further, that if an Event of Default, or an event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of
Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of Default, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would become an Event of
Default, shall have been waived or cured.

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Debt Securities of any series, means any one of the following events:

 (a) failure to pay interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Debt Security of such series within 30 days after the same
becomes due and payable [(whether or not payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article XV hereof);]* [provided, however, that a valid extension of the interest payment period by the Company as
contemplated in Section 3.12 of this Indenture shall not constitute a failure to pay interest for this purpose]*; or 

(b) failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Debt Security of such series when due and payable under this Indenture [(whether
or not payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article XV hereof)]*; or

 (d) failure to perform or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this
Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more
series of Debt Securities other than such series) for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 33% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee, or the
Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Debt Securities of such series not less than the principal amount of Debt Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period
prior to its expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of such principal amount of Debt Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period
for a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) days if corrective action is initiated by the Company within such period and is being diligently pursued; or 

(e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (1) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (2) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
by one or more Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall
have remained unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
authorization of such action by the Board of Trustees; or 
 (g) any other Event of Default specified with respect to Debt Securities of such
series. 
 Section 8.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default due to the default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on, any
series of Debt Securities or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Company applicable to the Debt Securities of such series but not applicable to all Outstanding Debt Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series may then declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Debt Securities of such series are Discount Debt Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 3.01) of all Debt Securities of such series and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) accrued
thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders). If an Event of Default due to default in the performance of any other of the covenants or warranties herein applicable to
all Outstanding Debt Securities or an Event of Default specified in Sections 8.01(e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of
all Debt Securities then Outstanding (considered as one class), and not the Holders of the Debt Securities of any one of such series, may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Debt Securities are Discount Debt Securities, such portion of
the principal amount of such Debt Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 3.01) of all Debt Securities and premium, if any, and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders). As a consequence of each such declaration (herein referred to as a declaration of acceleration) with respect to Debt Securities of any series, the
principal amount (or portion thereof in the case of Discount Debt Securities) of such Debt Securities, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) accrued thereon shall become due and payable immediately [(provided that the payment
of principal of such Debt Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XV hereof)]*. 

With respect to a series of Debt Securities to which a credit enhancement is applicable, the applicable supplemental indenture may provide
that the provider of such credit enhancement may, if default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series, and subject to certain conditions, have all the rights with respect to remedies that would otherwise have been exercisable by
the Holders of Debt Securities of that series. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of
any series shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of
acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 40 

 (a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(1) all overdue interest on all Debt Securities of such series; 

(2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Debt Securities of such series that have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest (including Additional Interest) thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities; 

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Debt Securities; 
 (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 9.07; and

 (b) any other Event or Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Debt Securities of such series that shall have become due solely by reason of such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 8.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 8.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 8.01 shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Debt Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, (i) interest on premium, if any, (ii) interest on any overdue principal and (iii) Additional Interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 9.07. 

If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities, wherever situated. 

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

 Section 8.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Debt Securities shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest (including Additional Interest)) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal,
premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities 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 amounts due to the Trustee under Section 9.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) 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 Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 9.07. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 8.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities. 

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

 Section 8.06 Application of Money Collected. 

[Subject to the provisions of Article XV,]* any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, upon presentation of the Debt
Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.07; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debt Securities for
principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the
remainder, if any, to the Company, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

Section 8.07 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder 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: 
 (a) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee
of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; 
 (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e)
no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class; 
 it being understood and intended
that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders or to obtain or to seek to
obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

 Section 8.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security shall have the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07 [and 3.12]*) interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on such Debt Security on the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 8.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

Section 8.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided 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. 

Section 8.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 8.12 Control by Holders of Debt Securities. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of a series of Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such 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 Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Debt Securities of any one of such series; and provided, further,
that 

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 44 

 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and may
not involve the Trustee in personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not in the Trustee’s reasonable discretion be adequate, and 

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

Before proceeding to exercise any right or power hereunder at the direction of such Holders, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from
such Holders reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with any such direction. 

Section 8.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

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

(a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Debt Security of such
series, or 
 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 12.02 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default
shall cease to exist, and any and all Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 Section 8.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of all series in respect of which such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Debt Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date).

 Section 8.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

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

THE TRUSTEE 

Section 9.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) The Trustee shall have and be subject to all the duties and responsibilities specified with respect to an indenture trustee in the Trust
Indenture Act, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
 (b) The Trustee, prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of
Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of
this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred: 
 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of, or failure to perform, such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

  
  

	*	Bracketed language throughout this Indenture will be inserted in the Indenture in the event that subordinated Debt Securities are issued. 

 
 46 

 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith, in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 8.12, 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. 
 (e) 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 it is not
reasonably assured of receiving (i) repayment of such funds or (ii) indemnity, in an amount deemed adequate to the Trustee in its reasonable judgment, against such risk or liability. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the duties and responsibilities of the Trustee under this Indenture
shall be subject to the protections, exculpations and limitations on liability afforded to the Trustee under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, including those provisions of such Act deemed by such Act to be included herein. 

(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 9.02 Notice of Defaults. 

The Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any default hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities of any series to the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series of which it has knowledge (within the meaning of Section 9.03(h)) in the manner and to the extent required to do so by the Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 8.01(d), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose
of this Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default. 

Section 9.03 Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 and to the applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act: 

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, or as
otherwise expressly provided herein, and any resolution of the Board of Trustees may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

 47 

 (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, 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 (subject to applicable legal requirements) be entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

the Company, any other obligor on such Debt Securities or by any Holder of such Debt Securities. 
 Section 9.04 Not Responsible for

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

is delayed in performing, unable to perform or breaches such obligation because of acts of God, war, terrorism, fire, floods, electrical outages or other causes reasonably beyond its control;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices for corporate trustees to maintain performance without delay or resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under
the circumstances. 
 Section 9.05 May Hold Debt Securities. 

Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Debt Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and, subject to Sections 9.08 and 9.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Debt Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 9.06 Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 9.07 Compensation and Reimbursement.

 (c)
indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, demands, claims, liabilities, causes of action or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with

 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee
shall have a lien prior to the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such other than property and funds held in trust for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on Debt Securities.
“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee
hereunder. When a Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Sections 8.01(e) or (f), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel)
and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Indenture
and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 Section 9.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the
extent permitted thereby, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a Trustee under (i) this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of one or more series or (ii) any other indenture to which the

authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, or 

(b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other Person organized 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, 

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee 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.

the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.11. 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 9.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

Section 8.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder 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 Debt Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in Subsection (d) of this Section), with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the
Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of

the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.11, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 9.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

(f) So long as no event that is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities pursuant to Subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
(i) a Board Resolution appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with

applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this Subsection (f).

Company or, should the Company fail so to act promptly, the successor Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear
in the Debt Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the address of its corporate trust office. 

Section 9.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

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

Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Debt 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 Debt Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to
be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart
from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein
and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of all sums owed to it, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and

corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Debt 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 Debt Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Debt Securities.

 Section 9.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities (other than by reason of a
relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor. For
purposes of Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act:

wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor
relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 

Section 9.14 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. 

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have
power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of
all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case
with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this
Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

 Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or
separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Company.

 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent

exercised solely, by the Trustee; 
 (b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect
of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be
provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; 

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or
remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove,
any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall have no liability, personally or in its capacity as Trustee, for any act or omission of any co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder; and 
 (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 Section 9.15 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof,
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 3.06, and Debt 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 Debt Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, authorized

Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating
Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the
corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving 45 days
written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent that shall be acceptable
to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to
pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 The provisions of
Sections 3.08, 9.04 and 9.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 
 If an appointment
with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Debt Securities of such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: 
 This is one of the Debt Securities of the
series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture; provided, however, that if there shall be Debt Securities of more than one series Outstanding hereunder and if a proposed
supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Debt Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed

(b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, the consent of the
Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the
requirements of Section 13.04 for quorum or voting, without, in any such case, the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Debt Security of such series or Tranche, or 

(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 6.06 or Section 8.13 with respect
to the Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof (except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby); provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to
“the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 9.11(b), 9.14 and 12.01(h). 

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely
for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or of one or more Tranches thereof, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series or Tranches with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall

 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolution authorizing the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, compliance by the Company with Section 12.03 hereof, and the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Debt Securities required hereunder with
respect to the proposed supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless the supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture, or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders 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. A waiver by a Holder of such Holder’s right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent of such Holder. 

Section 12.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided and (subject to Section 9.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 Section 12.04 Effect of Supplemental
Indentures. 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance
therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in effect for all purposes.

 Section 12.06 Reference in Debt Securities to Supplemental Indentures. 

Debt Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debt Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, 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 Debt
Securities of such series or Tranche.

 Section 12.07 Modification without Supplemental Indenture. 

If the terms of any particular series of Debt Securities shall have been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate
pursuant to a Board Resolution as contemplated by Section 3.01, and not in an indenture supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board
Resolution or Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; provided, however, that such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or
otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture that would be required to be satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the
acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be a “supplemental indenture” for purposes of Sections 12.04 and 12.06.

[SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES]* 

Section 15.01 Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness. 

[The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of the Debt Securities of each series, by its
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each and all of the Debt Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in
this Article, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. 
 Each Holder of the Debt Securities of each
series, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of Debt Securities to take any action to declare the Debt Securities to be due and payable prior to their stated
maturity pursuant to Section 8.02 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Indebtedness then due and payable shall first be paid in full before the Holders of the Debt
Securities or the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from the Company of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities. 

Section 15.02 Payment Over of Proceeds of Securities. 

In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings
in respect of the Company or a substantial part of its property, or of any proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary or
(b) subject to the provisions of Section 15.03, that (i) a default shall have occurred with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior
Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred a default (other than a default in the payment of principal or interest or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument
under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (with notice or lapse of time, or both), and such default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof,
and, in the cases of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), such

 67 

 
default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist, and, in the case of subclause (ii) of this clause (b), the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness shall have been
accelerated in accordance with the default provisions thereof or (c) that the principal of and accrued interest on the Debt Securities of any series shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01 and
such declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 8.02, then: 

(1) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or
provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Debt Securities are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Debt
Securities, including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Articles IV and V; 

(2) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which any Holder or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
trustee or otherwise, directly 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, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such 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 (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holder of the indebtedness evidenced by the Debt Securities or to the Trustee
under this Indenture; and 
 (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets
of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of principal of or interest on the Debt Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the Debt Securities, shall be received by the
Trustee or any Holder before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full to the extent required by Subsection (1) of this Section 15.02, or provision is made for such payment in money or money’s worth, such payment or
distribution in respect of principal of or interest on the Debt Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the Debt Securities 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 such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably 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 therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 123rd day following the date of deposit of cash or Eligible Obligations pursuant to
Section 7.01 (provided all conditions set out in such Section shall have been satisfied), the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness,
including, without limitation, those arising under this Article; provided that no event described in clauses (e) and (f) of Section 8.01 with respect to the Company has occurred during such 123-day period.

 For purposes of this Article only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not
be deemed to include shares of common stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment that are subordinate in right of payment to all
Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Debt Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company
into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article XI hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 15.02 if such other
corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article XI hereof. Nothing in Section 15.01 or in this
Section 15.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.07. 

Section 15.03 Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness. 

Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, other than any
indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any other obligation as to which the provisions of this Section

	 Note 1:
	  	The equipment rooms in the tower + self-owned equipment room + facilities combination includes brick-concrete, color-steel and other kinds of equipment rooms (excluding rented equipment rooms), and their construction cost shall
be determined according to the above table.
		
	 Note 2:
	  	RRU remote refers to the situation where the master devices such as BBUs of the telecom companies are not put in China Tower’s equipment rooms.
		
	 Note 3:
	  	In the event that the telecom companies actually use tower products which do not belong to any of the above standard configured tower products, the price shall be determined subject to the standard construction cost of the actual
type of towers, equipment rooms and corresponding facilities (see Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 hereto for details) and the pricing formula for tower products.
		
	 Note 4:
	  	All of the above standard construction costs exclude taxes (all construction prices and costs provided in this Annex exclude taxes, and similarly hereinafter).

  
 4 

	2	Depreciable life shall be the rounded-up of the average depreciable life of the corresponding assets of the three telecom companies, namely, the depreciable life of towers
is 10 years, the depreciable life of a self-owned equipment room in a ground base tower is 20 years, the depreciable life of a self-owned equipment room in a building base tower is 6 years, the depreciable life of a rented equipment room and an
integrated cabinet is 6 years, and the depreciable life of facilities is 6 years. 

	3	Depletion rate shall be 2% per year, including relocation, overhaul and damage, etc. 

	4	Maintenance cost shall be RMB3,770 per year tentatively, and shall include the fees for the outsourced maintenance, repair and consumable items. The basic maintenance cost shall be adjusted and re-determined in accordance with the market-oriented bidding and procurement results corresponding to the maintenance particulars and quality indicators jointly confirmed by the respective subsidiaries or branches
at the provincial level (“provincial companies”) of the three telecom companies and China Tower. The maintenance cost incurred prior to the bidding and procurement process shall be retrospectively adjusted according to the pricing formula.
The Parties’ subsidiaries or branches can consult upon the timetable of the bidding taking into account their actual conditions, and the standard fee of RMB3,770 per year shall no longer be enforced after such market-oriented bidding and
procurement process. 

	5	Markup margin rate shall be 15% for the compensation of the management expenses, personnel expenses and other expenses of China Tower. 

	6	Site Cost shall be calculated by station site, including site rent, one-off slotting fees and coordination costs, land requisition expenses incurred associated with
China Tower’s offering products and services to the telecom companies. The respective provincial companies of China Tower and the telecom companies shall negotiate and determine the fees on a lump-sum
basis according to the rents provided in the lease agreements under relevant scenarios by the telecom companies in 2014 and by China Tower in 2015. 

In the event that the Parties are unable to determine the lump-sum fees, the Parties’ provincial companies shall
agree upon a transition period, during which the fees shall be charged in accordance with actual expenses incurred on an itemized basis. Particularly, the one-off slotting fees, coordination costs, land
requisition expenses and others shall be amortized according to the depreciable life of towers of 10 years. 
  

	7	Electricity connection cost shall be negotiated by the Parties’ provincial companies and they shall choose to adopt the lump-sum or itemized basis.
Specific costs shall be calculated by the following formula: 

  

									
	Electricity connection cost	  	=	 	  construction cost  	  	×	  	(1 + markup margin rate)
	  	 	depreciable life	  	  

 wherein: 
 Construction
cost shall be determined by the Parties’ provincial companies: (i) if opting the pricing method on a lump-sum basis, based on the actual construction cost of the electricity connection
facilities under the various scenarios incurred by the telecom companies in 2014 and by China Tower in 2015; or (ii) if opting the pricing method on an itemized basis, based on the actual construction costs incurred in the project. 

Depreciable life shall be 10 years according to the average depreciable life of the electricity connection assets of the three telecom
companies. 
 Markup margin rate shall be 5%. 

  
 5 

 The above formulas are applicable to the electricity connection by means of solar energy, wind power or
wind-solar hybrid, in the pricing formulas for which the depreciable life shall be determined by the Parties’ subsidiaries or branches according to the average depreciable life of similar assets of the three telecom companies. 

The maintenance cost of electricity connection facilities shall be included in the tower products’ maintenance cost, which the Parties’ provincial
companies shall take into account in the bidding and procurement process for the maintenance of tower products. 
  

	8	Sharing discount rate: where the same station site is used and the relevant facilities are shared by more than one telecom company, a sharing discount shall be applied. The scope of sharing discount
extends to base prices, site cost and electricity connection costs in relation to tower products. The commencement date of a sharing discount shall be the commencement date of the new occupier’s service term. 

Table 4: Sharing Discount Rate 1 (Sharing Discount Rate for Base Price) 
  

									
	 	  	Sole User	 	  	Shared by Two Companies	 	Shared by Three Companies
	 First-Occupier Lessee
	  	 	—  	 	  	25% discount	 	35% discount
	 Other Lessees
	  	 	—  	 	  	20% discount	 	30% discount

 Table 5: Sharing Discount Rate 2 (Sharing Discount Rate for Site Cost and Electricity Connection Costs) 

 

									
	 	  	Sole User	 	  	Shared by Two Companies	 	Shared by Three Companies
	 First-Occupier Lessee
	  	 	—  	 	  	45% discount	 	55% discount
	 Other Lessees
	  	 	—  	 	  	40% discount	 	50% discount

  

			
	Note 1:	  	The first-occupier lessee refers to the former owner of the tower, in the case of an Acquired Tower, or the first basic telecom company that exclusively occupies the tower, in the case of a New Tower. For the avoidance of doubt, the
first-occupier lessee of a New Tower is the first basic telecom company that exclusively occupies the New Tower, the commencement date of the relevant service term for which is prior to the dates of the Product Confirmation Orders entered into by
other telecom companies who later occupy such tower.
		
	Note 2:	  	Because the relevant costs in the base prices will increase along with the increase in the number of sharing parties, the actual discount of the base prices is lower taking into account the increased costs.

 In principle, as for the station sites with existing equipment rooms, the telecom companies who later occupy shall not use the
construction model of integrated cabinets. 
 In the event that more than one telecom company uses the same station site without sharing the relevant
facilities (including equipment rooms and facilities under the towers constructed by means of RRU remote by certain telecom companies), only the part which is shared shall enjoy the sharing discount. The basic price for the sharing discount to be
applied shall be determined according to the standard construction costs set forth in the table below and the pricing formula for tower products. In the pricing formula, the maintenance cost shall be determined by either calculating the percentage
of its construction cost in the standard construction cost for corresponding tower products on the basis of the maintenance cost for tower products to be determined by the relevant provincial companies, or upon mutual consultation between the
Parties’ provincial companies.

 Note: In the event that the telecom companies construct by means of the RRU remote and deploy BBU together in China
Tower’s equipment rooms, the first set of BBU + RRU shall be priced according to the RRU’s corresponding towers and BBU’s corresponding equipment room + facilities, while the rest of the RRU shall be priced according to its
corresponding tower + RRU remote + facilities. If the facility space for BBU expands, it shall be priced 10% of the base price of RRU. Sharing discounts shall apply in accordance with the sharing status in the actual usage. 

 

	(2)	Adjustment of the Standard Construction Costs 

 Considering that the construction costs vary in different
provinces of China, the 31 provinces are divided into four categories. The following coefficients shall be applied to the adjustment of construction costs based on the national Standard construction costs: 

Category 1: Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Jilin, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Henan, Shanxi, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Gansu, Guangdong,
Hainan and Xinjiang, 18 provinces in total, for which the adjustment coefficient is 1.0; 
 Category 2: Hebei, Chongqing, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jiangxi,
Guizhou and Yunnan, 7 provinces in total, for which the adjustment coefficient is 0.9; 
 Category 3: Beijing, Tianjin and Ningxia, 3 provinces in total,
for which the adjustment coefficient is 1.1; 
 Category 4: Shanghai, Tibet and Qinghai, 3 provinces in total, for which the adjustment coefficients are
1.86 for Shanghai, 2.38 for Tibet and 1.26 for Qinghai, respectively, consistent with the pricing of Acquired Towers. 
 Constructions in response to the
demands of stations on the mountains or islands, camouflage stations (including camouflage trees) and micro stations shall be carried out in a customized manner. The Parties’ municipal companies shall estimate the construction costs in prior
consultation, which shall be applied to the pricing formula for tower products. Such constructions may begin only after the prices are determined. The pricing parameters in the pricing formula other than standard construction costs shall be
consistent. 

  
 7 

 In addition to the above-mentioned coefficient, the Parties’ municipal companies shall adjust the
construction costs of towers (including the tower bases and bodies) built in areas other than those within 0.45KN/m2 wind pressure regions according to the design institute’s actual wind pressure design with reference to the 50-year-return-period wind pressure distribution diagram published by the national authorities. See Schedule 1 for the specific adjustments. 
  

	(3)	Pricing Rules for Additional Antennas or Systems 

 Three antennas (one system) form a basic product unit
of tower products. The pricing shall be calculated as one product unit in the case that there is less than one product unit. 
 Where there is more than one
basic product unit: 
  

	(a)	For regular ground base towers, the price shall be calculated based on one product unit for six antennas (two systems) or less. In the case of more than six antennas (two systems), every three additional antennas (one
system) shall be charged at 30% of a product unit. 

  

	(b)	For the other tower products, every three additional antennas (one system) shall be charged as 30% of a product unit. 

  

	(c)	Where there are additional systems but no antennas in addition to the standard configurations, every additional system which expands facility space shall be charged at 10% of a product unit. 

 

	(4)	Pricing Rules for Others 

  

	(a)	With regard to the landscape towers, if the basic telecom companies opt not to install the RRU onto the towers, a 2% discount shall be applied to the base prices. 

 

	(b)	When the telecom companies mount microwaves and WLAN APs, the price of an end microwave shall be charged as 0.3 product unit of the corresponding tower products; three sets of WLAN antennas shall be charged as 0.1
product unit of the corresponding tower products, and sharing discounts shall be applied. 

  

	(c)	The environmental impact assessment costs for the New Towers are not included in the standard construction costs due to the substantial variations by geographic region. China Tower can be entrusted by the telecom
companies and organize its customers to engage in (i) the EMF environmental impact assessment and approval and (ii) the environmental protection review and approval upon the acceptance in relation to the construction projects of mobile
telecommunication base stations. The related expenses shall be shared by the subsidiaries of the telecom companies and directly settled with the third-party institutions carrying out the environmental impact assessment, or the Parties’
subsidiaries shall determine the settlement upon consultation. 

  

	(d)	In special cases beyond standardized configurations, the Parties’ subsidiaries shall negotiate and determine the relevant pricing standards using the markup margin method and taking into account additional costs
actually incurred with reference to the pricing formula for tower products, wherein the parameters, such as depreciable life and markup margin rate, shall be consistent with those parameters in the pricing formula for tower products.

  

	(ii)	Acquired Tower Products 

 The Acquired Towers refer to all tower products constructed by the telecom
companies and transferred to China Tower (subject to the Parties’ Asset Handover Confirmation List). Other tower products shall hereafter be deemed New Towers. 

The pricing for the Acquired Towers shall be applicable to the former owners of the Acquired Towers, the telecom companies which started to share the Acquired
Towers prior to October 31, 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Sharing Parties”) and the basic telecom companies who subsequently started to share the Acquired Towers transformed by China Tower (hereinafter, the “New
Sharing Parties”). 

  
 8 

	1.	Product Catalogue and Standard Configuration of the Basic Product Unit 

 The product catalogue and
definitions, the definition of product unit, the standard configuration of the basic product unit and other specifications of the Acquired Towers shall be consistent with those applicable to the New Towers, namely, the product catalogue applicable
to the New Towers shall be applied to all Acquired Towers. The backup power supply assurance duration is subject to the actual backup duration as at handover of the acquired assets. The specific service standards shall be negotiated by the Parties.

  

	2.	Product Pricing 

  

	(1)	Pricing Formula 

  

							
	Base price = 	 	(S	 	 standard construction cost of New Towers

depreciable life of New Towers
	 	× discount rate 1 × (1+ depletion rate 2) + maintenance cost 3)
			
		 	× (1+ markup margin rate 4)	 	

 Product price = base price × (1- sharing discount rate 1 6) + site cost
5 × (1- sharing discount rate 2 6) 
 Notes: 

 

			
	1	  	The formula for the discount rate is as follows:

  

			
	Discount rate =  	  	 S appraised value / depreciable life of Acquired
Towers

	  	S(S standard construction cost of New Towers of the sub-category / depreciable life of New Towers
× percentage of similar products of Acquired Towers) × number of Acquired Towers

 Wherein, in respect of the depreciable life of acquired assets, the depreciable life of batteries and other supporting
facilities shall be determined subject to their remaining depreciable life, and the depreciable life of the towers, equipment rooms, air-conditioners, electricity connection and other assets shall be
determined subject to the depreciable life of similar New Towers. 
 See Schedule 3 for the adjustment coefficients applicable to each province. The
adjustment coefficients therein are applicable to all Acquired Towers, except that the wind pressure adjustment coefficient and the newly constructed regional coefficient shall not be taken into account. 

No separate electricity connection cost will be charged for the Acquired Towers. Before the commencement date when electricity services are charged on a lump-sum basis, if the telecom companies require an alternation in power supply from DC to AC, or from high voltage to low voltage, for the Acquired Towers, the electricity connection cost shall be simultaneously
adjusted to the electricity connection prices applicable to the corresponding New Towers and charged separately. 
  

	2	Depletion rate shall be the same as that of the New Towers. 

	3	Maintenance cost includes the expenses for outsourced maintenance, repair and consumable items, and shall be jointly determined by the Parties’ provincial companies upon mutual consultations in
accordance with existing contracts or the market-oriented bidding and procurement results. 

	4	Markup margin rate shall be the same as that of the New Towers for compensating the management expenses, personnel expenses and other expenses of China Tower. 

	5	Site cost shall be calculated by station site, including the remaining pre-amortization cost of the site rent, land requisition expenses and other one-time expenses. The site lease agreements with respect to the Acquired Towers were executed by the telecom companies, the rent of which will be uncertain upon the expiration of such agreements. Therefore, the
rent shall be determined on an itemized basis in line with the rent provided in the original site lease agreements prior to expiration of such contracts. The one-time land requisition expenses paid by telecom
companies shall be determined on an itemized basis in accordance with the remaining pre-amortization value as of the asset appraisal date. 

  
 9 

 Upon the expiration of the site lease agreements, or if no such agreements exist, the site cost shall be
negotiated and determined by the Parties’ provincial companies on an itemized basis according to the renewed agreements and remaining pre-amortization costs, or on a
lump-sum basis for certain scenarios. 
 The site cost for sites where the rent is tentatively uncertain shall be
determined by the Parties’ provincial companies upon mutual consultation. In case the actual site cost deviates from the consulted cost, the cost shall be retrospectively adjusted. 

 

	6	Sharing discount rates and rules shall be the same as those applicable to the New Towers. 

 For
the New Sharing Parties: They shall be charged based on the “same tower same price” principle. The base price and site cost for the New Sharing Parties shall be based on the prices of the Acquired Towers located at the same station and
shall enjoy the sharing discount. No electricity connection fee shall be charged separately. The electricity connection switching expenses which are incurred by any newly added product unit or New Sharing Party shall be calculated according to the
electricity connection pricing formula for the New Towers and paid separately by the New Sharing Parties. 
 For the Existing Sharing Parties: Prior to
2018, they will be charged at 30% of each of the base price and the site cost. The former owner shall be entitled to the first-occupier discount for the base price, with the site cost to be charged at 70% (if there are two lessees) or 40% (if there
are three lessees). When the third party starts sharing the Acquired Tower, the prices for the Existing Sharing Parties shall remain unchanged; the former owner shall be entitled to the first-occupier discount (namely, to be charged at 65% of the
base price and 45% of the site cost). However, effective from January 1, 2018, the pricing rules applicable to the Existing Sharing Parties shall be the same as those applicable to the New Sharing Parties. 

In the event that multiple telecom companies share the same station site of the Acquired Tower without sharing the relevant acquired facilities, only the
shared parts shall enjoy the sharing discount, and the price basis for the sharing discount shall be determined according to the pricing formula for the Acquired Towers. 
  

	(2)	Pricing of Additional Antennas or Systems 

 Prior to the Completion Date (October 31, 2015), all product
units constructed by telecom companies on the Acquired Towers shall be deemed as a whole and priced at the base price of the product unit with the highest antenna mounting height on the relevant Acquired Towers. 

The newly added product unit of the Acquired Towers (including the product units constructed and added by China Tower prior to the Completion Date) shall be
priced the base price of the corresponding product unit of the Acquired Towers. Every additional three antennas (one system) shall be charged at 30% of the price for a product unit and every one additional system (excluding the antennas) which
expands facility space shall be charged at 10% of the price for a newly added product unit. 

  
 10 

	3.	Service Commencement Date of the Acquired Towers 

 The service commencement date of the Acquired Towers
(also for the Existing Sharing Parties) is November 1, 2015. The lease and settlement arrangements with the basic telecom companies that started sharing the Acquired Towers transformed by China Tower prior to November 1, 2015 shall be
agreed separately.

	Note 4:	If the cascading method is used for the RRU, the space for multiple RRU installations can be provided. In other circumstances beyond the standard configurations, the Parties’ subsidiaries or branches shall
negotiate and determine the price by means of markup margin method with reference to the pricing mechanism for indoor distribution products, wherein the parameters such as the depreciable life, markup margin rate and others shall be consistent with
those in the pricing scheme for indoor distribution products. 

  

	(ii)	Pricing 

  

	1.	Pricing Formula for Indoor Distribution Products in Commercial Buildings 

  

					
	Base price = (S	  	standard construction cost 1
 depreciable life 2
	 	× (1 + depletion rate 3) + maintenance cost 4) × (1+ markup margin rate 5)
	  	 

 Product price = (base price × covering construction area + site cost 6) × (1 - sharing discount rate) 

Notes: 
  

	1	Standard Construction Cost: 

 The standard construction cost for indoor distribution
products in commercial buildings includes the expenses for distribution systems, ancillary facilities, municipal electricity connection and others. China Tower shall entrust a third-party design institute and determine the standard construction cost
with respect to the construction using POI, high-quality components and double cable. Such standard construction cost is set forth in the table below. 

Table 9: Standard Construction Cost of Indoor Distribution Products in Commercial Buildings

Cost

	 Building distribution products
	  	Commercial buildings	  	m2 	  	2 sets	  	RMB16.24/m2 

 Under the following two circumstances, certain adjustments shall be applied to the standard construction cost of indoor
distribution products in commercial buildings: 
  

	(a)	where the landlord requires the use of galvanized steel pipes and wiring bridges/frames for constructing indoor distribution products: 

Construction cost = standard construction cost × special adjustment coefficient 

Wherein: the special adjustment coefficient is fixed at 1.3. 

  
 12 

	(b)	where there are significant differences between the actual construction cost and the standard construction cost: 

When the actual construction cost deviates from the standard construction cost by ±15% due to certain objective reasons, the Parties’ municipal
companies shall negotiate and apply the pricing formula for indoor distribution products to the indoor distribution products in commercial buildings based on the actual construction cost. The parameters shall be the same except the standard
construction cost. The aforementioned objective reasons include, but are not limited to, using optical fiber distribution systems or some special requirements for equipment and materials from the landlord or other situations. 

Under the above cases, the Parties’ subsidiaries shall negotiate the estimated construction cost. The construction may begin after the price is
determined based on the agreed construction cost and pricing formula for indoor distribution products. 
  

	2	The depreciable life is seven years. 

	3	Depletion rate is fixed at 2%, including overhaul and damages. 

	4	Maintenance cost includes the expenses for outsourced maintenance, repair and consumable items. In accordance with the maintenance particulars and standards, China Tower determines the maintenance cost as
RMB0.2/year/m2, wherein the expenses for outsourced maintenance is RMB0.12/year/m2 and the expense for repair and consumable items is
RMB0.08/year/m2. The maintenance cost shall be adjusted according to the maintenance particulars and quality indicators jointly confirmed by the provincial companies of the three telecom companies
and China Tower as well as the bidding results. The base price shall be recalculated. The maintenance cost incurred prior to the bidding and procurement process shall be retrospectively adjusted according to the pricing formula. In principle, such
bidding and procurement process should be completed before March 1, 2016 and the standard of RMB0.2/year/m2 will no longer be enforced. The Party’s subsidiaries shall negotiate the
specific bidding date based on actual situations. 

	5	Markup margin rate is fixed at 15% and used to compensate the management expenses, personnel and other costs of China Tower. 

	6	Site cost includes the expenses for site rent, one-off slotting allowances and coordination expenses incurred when China Tower provides products and services for the
telecom companies. The Parties’ provincial companies shall negotiate and determine the pricing on a lump-sum or itemized basis. 

If pricing is on a lump-sum basis, the Parties’ provincial companies shall negotiate and determine the standard
site cost according to the price in the leasing contracts entered into by the telecom companies in 2014 and by China Tower in 2015. 
 If pricing is on an
itemized basis, the Parties’ municipal companies shall determine the price on an itemized basis in accordance with the actual situations. The one-off slotting allowances and coordination expenses shall be
amortized according to the depreciable life of seven years for indoor distribution products. 
 In order to cut costs and enhance efficiency, the
Party’s provincial companies can negotiate and decide to price the indoor distribution products in the buildings on a lump-sum basis within the province or municipality.

 2. Pricing Formula for Other Indoor Distribution Products 

Other indoor distribution products include distribution products in large stadiums and subways (including subway platforms), as well as railway tunnels. Such
products shall be priced on an itemized basis. 
  

					
	Base price = (S	  	   construction cost 1  

depreciable life 2
	 	× (1 + depletion rate 3) + maintenance cost 4) × (1 + markup margin rate 5)
	  	 

 Product price = (base price + site cost 6) × (1- sharing discount rate)

 Notes: 
  

	1	Construction cost: 

 The construction cost of other indoor distribution products shall be
determined according to the actual construction cost incurred in the relevant project, including the construction cost for the distribution systems, ancillary facilities, municipal electricity connection and other items. 

 

	2	Depreciable life shall be the average depreciable life of the same assets of the three telecom companies, among which the depreciable life for the distribution system is seven years. 

	3	Depletion rate is fixed at 2%, including overhaul and damages. 

	4	Maintenance cost includes the expenses for outsourced maintenance, repair and consumable items, and shall be determined based on the actual bidding price with the maintenance particulars and quality
indicators jointly confirmed by the provincial companies of the three telecom companies and China Tower. 

	5	Markup margin rate is fixed at 15% and used to compensate the management expenses, personnel and other costs of China Tower. 

	6	Site cost: 

 The Parties’ subsidiaries or branches shall determine the pricing for site cost
on an itemized basis due to the significant differences on site cost of indoor distribution products for large stadiums, subways and railway tunnels. Site cost includes the expenses for site rent, one-off
slotting allowances and coordination expenses incurred when China Tower provides products and services for the telecom companies. The one-off slotting allowances and coordination expenses shall be amortized
according to the depreciable life of seven years for indoor distribution products. 
 3. Calculation Method for Product Units Numbers 

With regard to the indoor distribution products, every two sets of systems are deemed as a basic product unit. Less than one basic product unit shall be
charged as one product unit. 
 Where there is more than one basic unit, every one set of newly added system shall be charged at 10% of the price for one
basic product unit. 
 In principle, the telecom companies should put forward their demands for the number of systems once before the project construction.
The reserved systems shall be charged as the accessed systems. 
 4. Sharing Discount Rate of Indoor Distribution Products 

Where the same indoor distribution system is shared by multiple telecom companies, the sharing discount rate shall be applied to base price and site cost of
the indoor distribution product. The sharing discount shall be applied from the commencement date of the service term of the party who later start to use the product. No first-occupier discount is applicable.

 (iii) Base Price of Indoor Distribution Products 

The base price of indoor distribution products in commercial buildings shall be a nationwide unified price according to the relevant parameters. Given the
complexity of large indoor distribution construction projects such as subways, high-speed railways, airports and exhibition centers, their prices shall be determined on an itemized basis according to the actual costs and shall be standardized later
when the conditions are satisfied.

	III.	Transmission Products 

 (i) Product Catalogue 

Transmission products include pipes, pole lines, optical cables, manholes in front of entrances and exits, routers drawing up at stations, etc. In principle,
if jointly entrusted by two or more telecom companies, China Tower can provide transmission products by means of outsourced construction or services. 

(ii) Product Pricing 
  

	1.	Pricing Based on Outsourced Construction 

 In the case of outsourced construction, the pricing for
transmission products shall be determined on an itemized basis by the Parties’ municipal companies according to the principle of one-off amortization. The pricing formula shall be as follows: 

 

					
	Product price = 	 	        actual construction cost 1        	 	× (1 + markup margin rate 2)
	 	number of accessed telecom companies	 

 Wherein: 
  

	1	Construction cost includes, but is not limited to, the expenses for materials, construction, designing, supervision and compensation during the process. 

The compensation expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for coordination, road, bridge/river-crossing, road-crossing, farmland and forest-crossing,
etc. 
  

	2	Markup margin rate is fixed at 5%. 

 In the case of outsourced construction, the municipal
companies of the telecom companies shall negotiate and determine the ownership, maintenance work and expenses of the transmission products with reference to the manner dealing with joint construction and sharing of transmission products among these
telecom companies prior to the establishment of China Tower. 

  
 15 

	2.	Product Pricing Based on Service Mode 

 In the case of providing services, the price shall be determined
by the Parties’ municipal companies on an itemized basis, and the product service fees shall be paid monthly. The pricing formula shall be as follows: 
  

							
	Product price = 	 	[(S	 	  construction cost 1 

depreciable life 2  
	 	× (1+ depletion rate 3) + maintenance cost 4) × (1+ markup margin rate 5)]
		
		 	× (1- sharing discount rate 6)

 Wherein: 
  

	1	Construction cost includes, but is not limited to, the expenses for materials, construction, designing, supervision and compensation during the process. 

The compensation expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for coordination, road, bridge/river-crossing, road-crossing, farmland and
forest-crossing, etc. 
  

	2	Depreciable life is 10 years. 

	3	Depletion rate is fixed at 2%, including overhaul and damages. 

	4	Maintenance cost includes the expenses for outsourced maintenance, repair and consumable items, and shall be determined according to the amount actually incurred. 

	5	Markup margin rate is fixed at 15% and used to compensate the management expenses, personnel and other costs of China Tower. 

	6	Sharing discount rate is the same as that of the tower products’ base price but the first-occupier discount (i.e., a 20% discount rate if there are two lessees and 30% if there are three
lessees) is not applicable. 

 In the case of providing services, the ownership of the transmission product assets shall belong
to China Tower and the maintenance work and expenses shall be borne by China Tower. 
  

	IV.	Service products 

 (i) Service Product Catalogue 

China Tower can provide services such as power supply, oil machine power generation and extra battery assurance based on the demands of the telecom companies.

 Table 12: Service Product Catalogue 
  

			
	 Product Category
	  	 Product Definition

	Power Supply Services	  	To provide electricity services for one site on a lump-sum basis
		
	Oil Machine Power Generation Services	  	To provide oil machine power generation services for one site for certain duration
		
	Extra Battery Assurance Services	  	To provide extra battery assurance services for one system (less than 1.5KW of equipment power in principle) in addition to standard configuration

 Note: The number of times of oil machine power generation services and the number of hours of extra battery assurance services
purchased by the telecom companies in the same station site shall be consistent. The expenses for oil machine power generation services in a shared station site shall be shared equally by the telecom companies. The charge commencement date of power
supply services and oil machine power generation services shall be the activation day of the telecom companies’ equipment. In principle, the pricing and settlement of the acquired service products and new service products shall be consistent.

  
 16 

	(ii)	Pricing Method 

  

	1.	Power Supply Service 

 China Tower shall provide the power supply services on a lump-sum basis. The Parties’ provincial companies shall state in the Provincial Service Agreement that the service term shall not exceed three years and neither service mode nor price can be changed during such
term. 
 For those who choose the lump-sum power supply service, China Tower’s municipal companies shall
determine the total amount of electricity fees according to the lump-sum electricity fees agreed by the Parties’ provincial companies and shall pay the electricity fees monthly. If a station site is
activated for less than one month, the electricity fees will be calculated according to the actual number of days for which such station site has been activated. The lump-sum expenses of power supply and the
monthly service fees of towers shall be charged at the same time and China Tower’s municipal companies shall issue value-added taxation (“VAT”) invoices and electricity consumption split sheets to the telecom companies’ municipal
companies. 
 For those who do not choose the lump-sum power supply services, China Tower’s municipal companies
shall provide the electricity bill and electricity consumption split sheet to the telecom companies’ municipal companies. For the shared station sites, the electricity charges shall be shared by the telecom companies’ municipal companies
according to the percentage of nominal power or actual electricity consumption (DC metering) of their respective equipment. The telecom companies’ municipal companies shall pay the fees to the relevant power supply unit or the landlord for
their electricity consumption and shall obtain the receipts. In circumstances where no invoices or receipts can be obtained, the Parties’ subsidiaries shall negotiate and resolve the problem. 

2. Oil Machine Power Generation Services 
 The
Parties’ provincial companies shall negotiate to provide the oil machine power generation service on a lump-sum or frequency basis. The telecom companies’ municipal companies shall confirm in the
Product Confirmation Order if they will purchase the oil machine power generation services from China Tower: 
 (a) on a
lump-sum basis: 
 The Parties’ provincial companies shall negotiate to determine the lump-sum service price and settlement, which shall be confirmed by the Parties’ municipal companies in the Product Confirmation Order. 

(b) on a frequency basis: 
 The Parties’ provincial
companies shall negotiate to determine the price for single-time power generation service. The formula is as follows: 
 Single-time service price =
single-time power generation cost 1 × (1 + markup margin rate 2) 
  

	1	Single-time power generation cost: 

 The Parties’ provincial companies can
calculate and determine the single-time power generation cost with reference to the following formula: 
 Single-time power generation cost = base price for
single-time power generation + oil cost for power generation per hour × power generation duration + vehicle usage fee per kilometer × number of kilometers 

  
 17 

 The Parties’ provincial companies shall determine the related parameters with reference to the third-party
power generation prices. 
  

	2	Markup margin rate is fixed at 5% of single-time power generation cost. 

 3. Extra
Battery Assurance Service 
 One standard extra battery assurance product refers to the service of providing one hour battery extra assurance for one
system (the total power not exceeding 1.5KW in principle). The pricing formula is as follows: 
  

					
	Product price =	  	  construction cost  	  	× (1 + depletion rate) × (1 + markup margin rate)
	  	depreciable life	  

 The related parameter is RMB400/year upon calculation with reference to the parameters in the pricing formula of tower
products. 
 Where the equipment power exceeds 1.5KW, the Parties’ subsidiaries shall negotiate to determine the expenses to be increased with
reference to the above formula. 
 The telecom companies’ subsidiaries can purchase N pieces of extra battery assurance products (here “N”
expresses an integer) subject to their respective demands. However, the hours of extra battery assurance purchased by the telecom companies in the same station site shall be the same. 

  
 18 

	V.	Adjustment Mechanism 

 To take into account factors such as inflation, the Parties shall adjust the
maintenance cost and the site cost for the year with reference to the prior year’s CPI (Consumer Price Index) published by the national statistical authority. Such adjustment shall be effective from January 1st of the year and applied
retrospectively. 
 Should there be significant fluctuations in the real estate market or steel prices, the Parties shall negotiate and make adjustments to
site cost, product prices and others accordingly. 
 Upon the expiration of the depreciable life (10 years) of towers, the Parties shall negotiate
separately the applicable adjustments based on the actual business operation of China Tower. 
 If there is any material change in the actual business
operation of China Tower, such as the share rate, construction cost and profit differing from the forecast in 2016, the pricing mechanism hereunder shall be adjusted by the end of 2016.
