under a Board Resolution. In the case of Securities of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to authority granted
under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any
matters, provided that all Series of Securities shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture [INCLUDE THIS LANGUAGE FOR SUBORDINATED SECURITIES... but all Securities issued hereunder shall be subordinate and
junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XII, to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company.]

 All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with
the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate referred to above. 
 Section 2.3. Execution and Authentication. 
 Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an
Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate
Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and
delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless
otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8. 
 Prior to the
issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing
the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and
(c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to
decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or
trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 
  

 10 

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company
to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 Section 2.4. Registrar and Paying
Agent. 
 The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places
specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a
register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or
Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service
agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in
each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any
such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes
any additional service agent. 
 The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent
and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 
 Section 2.5. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the 

  

 11 

 
payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While
any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the
benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 
 Section
2.6. Securityholder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to
the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 
 Section 2.7. Transfer and Exchange. 
 Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to
exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 
 Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for
redemption in part. 
 Section 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 12 

 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that 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 Securities. 
 Section 2.9. Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the
interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.

  

 13 

 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the
principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2. 
 Section 2.10. Treasury Securities. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that the
Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.11. Temporary Securities. 
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as
the definitive Securities. 
 Section 2.12. Cancellation. 
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall
forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such
canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company otherwise directs. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities
that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus,
to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before
the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful
manner. 
  

 14 

 Section 2.14. Global Securities. 
 2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 
 2.14.2. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of
the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if
(i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case,
the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such
Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
of such a successor Depositary. 
 2.14.3. Legend. Unless otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 2.2, any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in
the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.” 
 2.14.4. Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants
to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 
 2.14.5. Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
  

 15 

 2.14.6. Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as
provided in Section 2.14.5, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written
statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be
placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.1. Notice to Trustee. 
 The
Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and
on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 30 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be
acceptable to the Trustee). 
 Section 3.2. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the
selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the
Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for
each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 
  

 16 

 Section 3.3. Notice of Redemption. 
 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officers’ Certificate, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 
 (b) the redemption price; 
 (c) the name and
address of the Paying Agent; 
 (d) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (e) that interest on Securities of
the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and 
 (f) any other
information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. 
 Section 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of
redemption is mailed as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 
 Section
3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 3.6. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender of a
Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same Maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
  

 17

 The Company shall deliver to the

 Section 4.3. Compliance Certificate. 
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company
and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and
further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he may have knowledge). 
 The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.4. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the
Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted. 
  

 18 

 Section 4.5. Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in
the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 
 ARTICLE V. 
 SUCCESSORS 
 Section 5.1. When Company May Merge, Etc.

 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1. Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the
following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default: 
 (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and

 (b) default in the payment of the principal of any Security of that Series at its Maturity; or

mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

 20 

 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 
 (f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18. 
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar

 Section 6.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is
continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal
amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be
due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and
be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
  

 21 

 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at
the Maturity thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as
due by the terms of a Security, 
 then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal or any overdue interest at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 6.4. 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 Securities or the
property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the 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) 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 and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  

 22 

 (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 amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 
 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 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 6.5. Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section
6.6. Application of Money Collected. 
 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 interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and 
 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities 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 Securities
for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: To the Company. 
 Section 6.7. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 
  

 23 

 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series 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 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 has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, 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 such Holders. 
 Section 6.8. Unconditional Right
of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
in Section 2.8, 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, to the extent permitted by law, prevent
the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

 24 

 Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. 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 6.12.
Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such Series,
provided that 
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction, and 
 (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default
hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in 

  

 25 

 
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 principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any
Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date). 
 ARTICLE VII. 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) The Trustee need perform only those
duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 
 (ii) In the absence of bad faith on
its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’
Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series. 
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and

unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee
shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to
it. 
 (h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections,
immunities and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee.

shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

appointed with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith. 
  

 27 

 (e) 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 without negligence and in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (f) 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 of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
or direction. 
 Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

of Defaults. 
 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities
of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 
 Section 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names
and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section 313. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each
stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange. 
  

 28 

 Section 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance
of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall
apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of
any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities of that Series. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or
(e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the
Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days
prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 7.10; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
  

 29 

 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series
does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any one or more Series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each
Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to
expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 
 Section 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company; and 
  

 31

the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.3 or 8.4.

Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

 Section 8.6. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the
Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1;
provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the

 (c) to provide for the assumption of our obligations to holders of any debt security in the case of a merger or
consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets;

any additional rights or benefits to the holders of securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder; 
 (e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

provision in the Description of Debt Securities was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indentures; 
 (g) to provide for the issuance of additional securities in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the date of the indenture; 
 (h) to allow any guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture with respect to debt securities and to release guarantors
in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or 
 (i) to add additional obligors under the indenture and
the securities. 
 The consent of holders is not necessary under the indentures to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 
 Section 9.2.
With Consent of Holders. 
 The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any 

  

 36 

 
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such waiver by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of
such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or
waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.3. Limitations. 
 Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security; 
 (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed
for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce the principal amount of Discount
Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a
waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (f) make the principal of or interest,
if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security; 
 (g) make any change
in Sections 6.8, 6.13, 9.3 (this sentence), 10.15 or 10.16; or 
 (h) waive a redemption payment with respect
to any Security or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities.

 Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture
hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.5. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the
Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. 
 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver
unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (g) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or
portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 
 Section 9.6. Notation on
or Exchange of Securities. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver
on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

Section 9.7. Trustee Protected. 
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall
sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

 Section 10.15. Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU. 
 Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of
Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECUs), then
the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For
purposes of this Section 10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however,
in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of 

  

 41 

 
exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Union (such
publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such
quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks
in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem
appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the

binding upon the Company and all Holders. 
 Section 10.16. Judgment Currency. 
 The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will
be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on
the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of
New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency
(i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the
purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required
by law, regulation or executive order to close.

 ARTICLE XI. 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 11.1. Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series,
except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of
such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series. 
 Section 11.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which
such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which
have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with
respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount
of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be
taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a
Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount
equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 
  

 43 

 Section 11.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’
Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of
Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not
less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. 
 [INCLUDE ARTICLE XII FOR SUBORDINATED SECURITIES... 
 ARTICLE XII. 
 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 12.1. Agreement of Subordination 
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of
Securities issued hereunder by his acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article XII; and each Person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon
transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. 
 The payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Securities called for redemption in accordance with Article 3 as provided in the Indenture) issued hereunder
shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

 No provision of this Article XII shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

 Section 12.2. Payments to Holders 
 No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (including,
but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article III as provided in the Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or
second paragraph of Section 12.5, if: 
 (a) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest,
rent or other obligations due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any,
specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or 
  

 44 

 (b) a default, other than a payment default, on a Designated Senior
Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Representative or the
Company. 
 If the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no
subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (a) at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice, and (b) all
scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the
Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. 
 The Company may and shall
resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the earlier of: 
 (a) the date upon
which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or 
 (b) in the case of a default referred to in
clause (ii) above, 179 days pass after notice is received if the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness has not been accelerated, unless this Article XII otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or
distribution. 
 Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings,
all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or payment thereof in accordance with its terms provided for in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article VI from monies deposited with the
Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except
for the provision of this Article XII, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such 

  

 45 

 
payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution or provision therefor is made to the
Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee. 
 For purposes of this Article XII, the words, “cash,
property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of
which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article XII with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the
new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not,
without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another 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 V shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for
the purposes of this Section 12.2 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article V. 
 In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be
made to the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Securities called for redemption in accordance
with Article 3 as provided in the Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 12.5, until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration at the address set forth in the notice from the Agent (or successor agent) to the Trustee as being the address to which the Trustee should send its notice pursuant to this Section 12.2, unless
there are no payment obligations of the Company thereunder and all obligations thereunder to extend credit have been terminated or expired. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by
way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, or provision is made for such 

  

 46 

 
payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution
shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments
evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 7.7. This Section 12.2 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 12.5. 
 Section 12.3.
Subrogation of Securities 
 Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness
of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes
of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XII,
and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article XII, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities. It is
understood that the provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

 Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors
of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from 

  

 47 

 
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon
any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness
and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII. 
 Section 12.4. Authorization to Effect Subordination 
 Each Holder of a
Security by the holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XII and appoints the
Trustee to act as the holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.3 hereof at least 30 days
before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities. 
 Section 12.5. Notice to Trustee 
 The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any paying agent of any fact known to the Company which
would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any paying agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII,
unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date
not fewer than two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Security)
the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 12.5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. 
  

 48 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the contrary, nothing
shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.1, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 or 12.2. 
 The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written
notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a
trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such person to receive such payment. 
 Section 12.6. Trustee’s Relation to Senior
Indebtedness 
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in
this Article XII in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 7.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XII, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against
the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay
over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. 
 Section 12.7. No Impairment of Subordination 
 No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at
any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 
  

 49 

 Section 12.8. Article Applicable to Paying Agents 
 If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting
hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 12.5 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

 Section 12.9. Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely 
 The holders of Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to
rely upon this Article XII, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

 (e) The heading to
Section 2.02 and Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrowing, each
conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone, provided that such notice is promptly
followed by facsimile notice. Each such notice, and each Term Loan Notice, must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Central Time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a) with respect to Loans must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice or Term Loan Notice, as applicable, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.
With respect to Revolving Loans, each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000. Each Revolving Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Loans from
one Type to the other, or a continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal
amount of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AND LIMITED WAIVER - Page 6 

 
Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made, or converted to, Base Rate
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Revolving Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. The Term Loan shall initially be made
(without the Borrower being required to submit a Term Loan Notice) as a Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month. The Term Loan shall be automatically continued (without the Borrower being required to submit a Term Loan Notice) as
a Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, unless otherwise specified in a Term Loan Notice delivered to the Agent. Each Term Loan Notice (whether telephonic or
written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a conversion of the Term Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of the Term Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as
the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), and (iii) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. 
 (f) Section 2.02(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end of such subsection: 
 Only one Interest Period shall be in effect with respect to the Term Loan. 
 (g) Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

2.05 Prepayments: 
 (a) Optional. Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Central Time, (A) five Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000, or, in each case, if less,
the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of the Term Loan or Revolving Loans, and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt 

  

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AND LIMITED WAIVER - Page 7 

 
of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment or such Lender’s Term Pro Rata Share of such prepayment,
as applicable. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each Revolving Loan prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares and each Term Loan prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loan of Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Pro Rata Shares. 
 (b) Mandatory. 
 (i) Overadvance. If for any reason (including a redetermination of the Borrowing Base) the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of Aggregate Commitments then in effect and the
Borrowing Base then in effect (after giving effect to Section 2.05(b)(vi), Borrower shall immediately (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) (1) prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess or (2) add to the Borrowing Base Oil and Gas Properties additional Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower sufficient in value, as determined pursuant to Section 2.04, to
increase the Borrowing Base to equal or exceed the Total Outstandings. 
 (ii) Dispositions. Upon the
occurrence of any Disposition (including any Disposition of any Borrowing Base Oil and Gas Properties) or any Recovery Event (except (A) Dispositions pursuant to Section 7.05(a), (c) or (d) and (B) with respect
to Net Cash Proceeds received with respect to (i) Dispositions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000 during any fiscal year or (ii) a Recovery Event, in each case in which such Net Cash Proceeds are utilized in order to replace
or repair the assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that are the subject of such Disposition or Recovery Event (or, in the case of a Recovery Event, are utilized by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse itself for expenditures
previously made in order to replace or repair such assets in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000 during any fiscal year)), then on the date of receipt by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds related thereto,
the Loans shall immediately be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(viii) by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds minus the amount of any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to
Section 2.05(b)(i) 

  

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AND LIMITED WAIVER - Page 8 

 
in connection with such Disposition or Recovery Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may retain Net Cash Proceeds in an amount not to exceed
$100,000 in the aggregate for Dispositions made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries during any fiscal year. For purposes of calculating the Net Cash Proceeds received from a Disposition or from a Recovery Event, such proceeds shall be determined as
of the date of the applicable Disposition or Recovery Event, whether or not received on such date, but no such amount shall be required to be applied to prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section until received by the applicable Person. The
provisions of this Section do not constitute consent to the consummation of any Disposition not otherwise permitted by Section 7.05. 
 (iii) Indebtedness Issuance. If any Indebtedness for borrowed money shall be issued or incurred by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with
Section 7.03(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g)), then on the date of such issuance or incurrence, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or
incurrence, in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(viii). The provisions of this Section do not constitute consent to the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted
hereunder. 
 (iv) Equity Issuance. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary consummates an Equity Issuance,
then Equity Issuance Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be immediately applied to prepay the Loans on the date such Equity Issuance Proceeds are received in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(viii);
provided, however, the Borrower shall not nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to issue any equity interests (other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 during
any fiscal year) if a Default shall be existing immediately after giving effect thereto or would result therefrom. 
 (v)
Termination of Swap Contracts. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall settle, unwind or otherwise terminate any Swap Contract (not including the ordinary course settlement of Forward Sales Contracts, but including any early
monetization or termination of such Forward Sales Contracts), then on the date of receipt by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds related thereto, the Loans shall be immediately prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(viii). 
  

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AND LIMITED WAIVER - Page 9 

 (vi) Disposition of Borrowing Base Oil and Gas Properties. On each date on
which Borrower sells any of its Borrowing Base Oil and Gas Properties, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced to the loan value (determined in accordance with the procedures for determining the Borrowing Base) of the remaining Borrowing
Base Oil and Gas Properties, and the Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment, if any, required to Section 2.05(b)(i). 
 (vii) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment under this Section 2.05(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if
any, required to be paid pursuant to Article III as a result of such prepayment. 
 (viii)
Application of Prepayments. Prepayments required under this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, to the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity, second to the Revolving Loan, with no reduction
of the Aggregate Commitments as a result thereof, and third, to the extent that there are no Revolving Loans outstanding, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03. 
 (h) Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add “(a)” after the heading thereof and to add
a new subsection (b) to read as follows: 
 (b) Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Term Loan to Lenders in
monthly installments of $1,000,000 each, due and payable on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on September 30, 2009. Borrower shall repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan
outstanding on such date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. 
 (i) Section 2.11(a) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
 (a) (i) All payments to be made by Borrower shall
be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, Central Time, on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share or Term Pro Rata
Share, as applicable (or other applicable share as provided herein), of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s 

  

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 AND LIMITED WAIVER - Page 10 

 
Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon, Central Time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (ii) On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or fees
are due hereunder or under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Agent (as such account shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to Agent from time to time, the
“Borrower Account”) an amount sufficient to pay such principal, interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, upon notice to Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) (A) to deduct
automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from Borrower Account, and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to
automatically deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at Agent. Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) showing
in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Lenders agree to reimburse Borrower based on their Pro Rata Share or Term Pro Rata Share, as applicable, for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of amounts due hereunder and under any
other Loan Documents. 
 (j) Section 2.11(e) and Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement

parent corporations, subsidiaries, and affiliates (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as “Lender Group”) jointly and severally from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, agreements,
covenants, suits, contracts, obligations, liabilities, accounts, offsets, rights, actions, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever occurring prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, all claims, demands, and causes of action for
contribution and indemnity, whether arising at law or in equity, presently possessed, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, presently accrued, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or
unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted (“Claims”), which Releasor may have or claim to have against any of Lender Group; except, as to any member of the Lender Group, to the extent that any such Claim results from
any gross negligence or willful misconduct of that member. 
 (b) Releasor agrees not to sue any of Lender Group or in any way
assist any other Person in suing Lender Group with respect to any Claim released herein. The Release Provision may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to, and may be used as the basis for an injunction against, any action, suit, or other
proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the release contained herein. 
 (c) Releasor
acknowledges, warrants, and represents to Lender Group that: 
 (i) Releasor has read and understands the effect of the
Release Provision. Releasor has had the assistance of independent counsel of its own choice, or has had the opportunity to retain such independent counsel, in reviewing, discussing, and considering all the terms of the Release Provision; and if

 (ii) Releasor is not acting
in reliance on any representation, understanding, or agreement not expressly set forth herein. Releasor acknowledges that Lender Group has not made any representation with respect to the Release Provision except as expressly set forth herein.

 (d) Releasor understands that the Release Provision was a material consideration in the agreement of the Agent and each Lender to enter
into this Amendment.

illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 
 9. Miscellaneous.

counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be transmitted and signed by facsimile or by portable
document format (PDF). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Borrower, Lenders and Agent. Lenders and Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or PDF document or signature.

 (g) Governing Law. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents must be construed, and their performance enforced,
under Texas law. 
 (h) Entirety. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS
