EXHIBIT 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this ___ day of __________, _______ between Stamps.com Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and ___________________ ("Indemnitee").

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee performs a valuable service for the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company have adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) permitting the Board of Directors to indemnify certain officers and employees designated by the Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer (the “Officers”) and directors (the “Directors”) of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Certificate and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (“Law”), by their nonexclusive nature permit contracts between the Company and the Officers and Directors of the Company with respect to indemnification of such Officers and Directors; and

 

WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the Law, the Company may purchase and maintain a policy or policies of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance (“D & O Insurance”), covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by its Officers and Directors in the performance of their obligations as Officers and Directors of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, as a result of recent developments affecting the terms, scope and availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as to the extent of protection afforded the Company's Officers and Directors by such D & O Insurance and said uncertainty also exists under statutory and bylaw indemnification provisions;

 

WHEREAS, in recognition of past services and in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Indemnitee; and

 

WHEREAS, if the Indemnitee has previously entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company (a “Prior Agreement”), then, as further provided in Section 24 hereof, this Agreement shall be deemed to amend and restate such Prior Agreement effective as of the date first written above, but without affecting any rights, obligations or liabilities under the Prior Agreement arising prior to the date first written above;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service as an officer and/or a director after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.               Indemnity of Indemnitee.  The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Law, as such may be amended from time to time, and Article VIII of the Certificate, as such may be amended.  In furtherance of the foregoing indemnification, and without limiting the generality thereof:

 

(a)            Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(a) if, by reason of his Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company.  Pursuant to this Section 1(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (as hereinafter defined), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)            Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 1(b) if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine that such indemnification may be made.

 

(c)            Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, he shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

(d)            Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

2.              Additional Indemnity.

 

(a)            Subject only to the exclusions set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (including an action by or on behalf of the Company) to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of his Corporate Status; provided, however, that with respect to actions by or on behalf of the Company, indemnification of Indemnitee against any judgments shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; and

 

(b)            No indemnity pursuant to this Section 2 shall be paid by the Company:

 

(i)              In respect to remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;

 

(ii)            On account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or  sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

 

(iii)            On account of Indemnitee’s conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct; or

 

(iv)            If a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful.

 

3.               Contribution.  If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 is unavailable and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii),  (iii), and (iv) of Section 2(b), then in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts.  The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

4.               Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

 

5.              Advancement of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.  Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Company to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Company determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed, within thirty (30) days of such determination, by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Company that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).

 

6.              Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

 

(a)            To obtain indemnification (including, but not limited to, the advancement of Expenses and contribution by the Company) under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b)            Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 6(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods: (i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board of Directors or the stockholders, in which case the determination shall be made in the manner provided in Clause (ii) below), or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, said Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (C) if so directed by said Disinterested Directors, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within thirty (30) days after such determination.  Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Independent Counsel, member of the Board of Directors, or stockholder of the Company shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination under the Agreement of the Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification.  Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

(c)            If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c).  If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within thirty (30) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of ”Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 15 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within forty-five (45) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof.  The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.  Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 9(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(d)            The Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Indemnitee to the settlement of any Proceeding which the Company has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and sole responsibility for such settlement and the settlement grants the Indemnitee a complete and unqualified release in respect of the potential liability, provided, however, that the Company shall not settle any action or claim in a manner that would impose any penalty or admission of guilt or liability on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which Indemnitee will not unreasonably withhold.

 

7.              Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

 

(a)            In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a written request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

(b)            If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 6 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60 day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board of Directors or the Disinterested Directors, if appropriate, resolve to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement.

(c)            The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(d)            For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise (as hereinafter defined), including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the Officers and Directors of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise.  In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 7(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

 

8.              Company’s Right to Defend.  In the event the Company may be obligated to make any indemnity in connection with a Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees or expenses of any other counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding.  Notwithstanding the Company’s assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel to the extent (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee is authorized by the Company, (ii) counsel for the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense such that Indemnitee needs to be separately represented, (iii) the Company is not financially or legally able to perform its indemnification obligations, or (iv) the Company shall not have retained, or shall not continue to retain, such counsel to defend such Proceeding.  The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion.  Regardless of any provision in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s personal expense.  The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company.

(a)            Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation in connection with the Proceeding as may be reasonably appropriate.

 

(b)            The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)            The Company shall have the right to settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the consent of Indemnitee, provided, however, that the Company shall not settle any action or claim in a manner that would impose any penalty or admission of guilt or liability on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, which consent Indemnitee will not unreasonably withhold.

 

9.              Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)            In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification.  Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 9(a).  The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b)            In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

 

(c)            If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

(d)            In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 9, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 15 of this Agreement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if Indemnitee prevails therein.  If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee to recover under any Directors' and Officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be, unless, as part of such judicial proceeding, the Court determines that the material assertions made by Indemnitee were either frivolous or not made in good faith.

 

(e)            The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.           Nonexclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

 

(a)            The rights of indemnification as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of Directors, or otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.  To the extent that a change in the Law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Certificate and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.  No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b)            To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for Directors, Officers, employees, or agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies.

 

(c)            In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(d)            The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

(e)            The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

 

11.            Exception to Right of Indemnification.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) brought by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) brought by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, or any claim therein, unless (a) the bringing of such Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors or (b) such Proceeding is being brought by the Indemnitee to assert his rights under this Agreement.

12.            Duration of Agreement.  All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer and/or a director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 9 hereof) by reason of his Corporate Status, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.  This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

 

13.            Security.  To the extent requested by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to the Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral.  Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

 

14.            Enforcement.

 

(a)            The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as an officer and/or a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as an officer and/or a director of the Company.

 

(b)            This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

15.            Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a)            “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if after the date of this Agreement (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act, as amended) other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (other than any such person or any affiliate thereof that is such a 15% beneficial owner as of the date hereof) without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 15, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.  A Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred under item (i) above if the “person” described under item (i) is entitled to report its ownership on Schedule 13G promulgated under the Act and such person is able to represent that it acquired such securities in the ordinary course of its business and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, nor in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect.  If the “person” referred to in the previous sentence would at any time not be entitled to continue to report such ownership on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d1(b)(3)(i)(B) of the Act, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time.

 

(b)            “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the express written request of the Company.

 

(c)            “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

(d)            “Enterprise” shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the express written request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

 

(e)            “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.  Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersede as bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent.  Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(f)            “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

(g)            “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer and/or a director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as an officer and/or a director of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement; including one pending on or before the date of this Agreement; and excluding one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

 

16.            Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to confer upon Indemnitee indemnification rights to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.  In the event any provision hereof conflicts with any applicable law, such provision shall be deemed modified, consistent with the aforementioned intent, to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

17.            Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

18.            Notice by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder.  The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.

 

19.            Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, or (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, or (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

INDENTURE, dated as of
____________________, between Gramercy Property Trust Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Maryland (herein called the “Company”), having its principal office at 521 Fifth Avenue, 30th Floor, New
York, NY 10175 and _________________, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”).

 

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company has duly authorized
the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness (herein called the “Securities”), which may be convertible into or exchangeable
for any securities of any persons (including the Company), to be issued in one or more series as in this Indenture provided.

 

All things necessary to
make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS
INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

Where any Person is required
to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments

SECTION 1.04       Acts of Holders; Record
Dates.

 

Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument
or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act”
of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section
6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 

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

 

The principal amount and
serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

 

Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security
and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of such action is made upon such Security.

 

The Company may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make
or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided, that the Company may not set a record date
for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request
or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether
or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless
taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date
for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously
set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company,
at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to
be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

The Trustee may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the
giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, (iii) any request
to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect
to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder
unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously
set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee,
at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section
1.06.

 

With respect to any record
date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date”
and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration
Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set such record date
shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto,
subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.

 

Without limiting the foregoing,
a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or
any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

SECTION 1.05       Notices, Etc., to Trustee

Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon,
given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(1)       the Trustee by
any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which
may be via facsimile) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or

 

(2)       the Company by
the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified
in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company.

 

SECTION 1.06       Notice to Holders; Waiver.

 

Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently
given to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by
such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and
not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.

 

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

 

Where this Indenture provides
for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

SECTION 1.07       Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act

 

This Indenture shall incorporate
and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act
that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision
of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.04       Securities in Global Form.

 

If Securities of or within
a series are issuable in global form, as contemplated by Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 3.01 and the
provisions of Section 3.02, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified
therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges.
Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall
be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04. Subject to
the provisions of Section 3.03 and, if applicable, Section 3.04, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent
global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order.
If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the
Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply
with Section 1.02.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

The provisions of the
last sentence of Section 3.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued
and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global from together with written instructions
(which need not comply with Section 1.02) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby,
together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.03.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.01 and 3.07, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal of and any premium and
interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

of the series to any Holder who is not a United States Person(s) (including any modification to the definition of such term) in
respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Securities
rather than pay such Additional Amounts (and the terms of any such option).

 

All Securities of such
series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 3.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’
Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

 

If any of the terms of
the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall
be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery
of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

 

SECTION 3.02       Denominations.

 

Unless otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, any Securities of such series, other than Securities
issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof.

 

SECTION 3.03       Execution, Authentication,
Delivery and Dating.

 

The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

Securities bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

 

At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the forms or terms of the Securities
of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating,

 

(1)       if the forms of
such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such forms have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(2)       if the terms of
such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(3)       that such Securities,
when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified
in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

 

If such form or terms
have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant
to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 3.01 and of the two preceding paragraphs, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company
Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at or prior to the authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.

 

Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication.

 

No Security shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued
and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

SECTION 3.04       Temporary Securities.

 

Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution
of such Securities.

 

If temporary Securities
of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of that series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more
definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

 

Until exchanged in full
as hereinafter provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

SECTION 3.05       Registration, Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.

 

The Company shall cause
to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 10.02 a register (being the combined
register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for the purpose of registration
of transfer of Securities and sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and the registration of
transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose
in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

All Securities issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.

 

Every Security presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or any transfer
agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar or any transfer agent duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

 

If the Securities of any
series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending
at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption.

 

The Trustee shall have
no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture
or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among
depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any certificated Security or global Security) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the
depositary.

 

SECTION 3.06       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.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

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 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, 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.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
of the previous two paragraphs, 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 3.07       Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved.

 

Except as otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

Any interest on any Security
of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or
(2) below:

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

(1)       The Company may
elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon
the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and
at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following Clause (2).

 

(2)       The Company may
make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Security.

 

SECTION 3.08       Persons Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment
of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.05 and Section 3.07) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 3.09       Cancellation.

 

All Securities surrendered
for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee)
for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities
so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order or in the Trustee’s customary manner, which manner shall
be communicated in writing to the Company.

SECTION 3.10       Computation of Interest.

 

Except as otherwise specified

basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

SECTION 3.11       CUSIP Numbers.

 

The Company in issuing
the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the Trustee of any change to such “CUSIP”
numbers.

SECTION 5.02       Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If an Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5),or 5.01(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
occurs and is continuing, 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 of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the
terms thereof) 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) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event
of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or 5.01(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the
principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without
any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

 

At any time after such
a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money 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

 

(1)       the Company has
paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

 

(A)       all overdue
interest on all Securities of that series,

 

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

 

(C)       to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and

 

(D)       all sums
paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel;

 

and

 

(2)       all Events of Default
with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 

No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 5.03       Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

The Company covenants
that if

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

(1)       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

 

(2)       default is made
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

 

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 any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on 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 decreed 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 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 reasonably necessary 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 5.04       Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim.

 

In case of any judicial
proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust
Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee
shall be authorized 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
6.07.

 

No provision of this Indenture
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; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on
behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’
or other similar committee.

 

    	27

    	 

    

 

SECTION 5.05       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 5.06       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 any premium 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 6.07;

 

SECOND: To the
payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium 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 any premium and interest, respectively; and

 

THIRD: To the Company.

 

SECTION 5.07       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

 

(1)       such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;

 

(2)       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;

 

(3)       such Holder or
Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in compliance with such request;

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

(4)       the Trustee for
60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

 

(5)       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 of such Holders.

 

SECTION 5.08       Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium 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 any premium and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective 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 5.09       Restoration of Rights and
Remedies.

 

If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding 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 5.10       Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section
3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment
of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

SECTION 5.11       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 5.12       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 the Trustee may refuse to follow any decision that conflicts with any rule
of law or with this Indenture, or that may result in the incurrence of liability by the Trustee, and the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

SECTION 5.13       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

 

(1)       in the payment
of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

 

(2)       in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected.

 

Upon any such waiver,
such default shall cease to exist, and any 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 5.14       Undertaking for Costs.

 

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, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess
costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent
provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided this Section shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant
to Section 5.16, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities.

SECTION 5.15       Waiver of Usury, Stay or
Extension Laws.

 

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

 

SECTION 5.16       Rights of Holders of Securities
to Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, interest
or additional interest, if any, on the Security, on or after the respective due dates thereon (including in connection with an
offer to repurchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the written consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.01       Duties of Trustee.

 

(a)       If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs.

 

(b)       Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default:

bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, without investigation, as to the truth or the statements and the correctness

requirements of this Indenture but need not verify the contents thereof. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions
which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates
and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm

not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

 

    	31

thereon;

 

(5)       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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or Indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;

or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

 

(9)       the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge

(10)       the rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended

or Issuance of Securities.

 

The recitals contained

SECTION 6.04       May Hold Securities.

 

The Trustee, any Authenticating
Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.07 and 6.12, may otherwise deal with the Company with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent

 

SECTION 6.05       Money Held In Trust.

 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest
on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

 

SECTION 6.06       Notice of Default.

 

If a default or Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the default or Event of Default within
90 days after such Event of Default becomes known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a default in payment on any Security (including
the failure to make a mandatory repurchase pursuant hereto), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee
of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

 

SECTION 6.07       Compensation and Reimbursement.

 

The Company agrees

 

(1)       to pay to the Trustee
from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by
any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

 

(2)       except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been
caused by its own negligence or bad faith; and

 

(3)       to indemnify the
Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder.

 

The obligations of the
Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

 

    	34

    	 

    

 

To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, Redemption Price or interest on, particular Securities. Such
Lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the termination
of this Indenture.

 

When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or 5.01(6) occurs, the expenses and the compensation
for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

SECTION 6.08       Conflicting Interests.

 

If the Trustee has or
shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest
or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.
To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee
under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series.

 

SECTION 6.09       Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times
be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, who may be the Trustee hereunder for Securities
of one or more other series. The Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such
and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and has its Corporate Trust Office in New York, New York. If any
such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

 

SECTION 6.10       Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor.

 

No resignation or removal
of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

 

The Trustee may resign
at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction (at the expense
of the Company) for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

    	35

    	 

    

 

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

 

If at any time:

 

(1)       the Trustee shall
fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(2)       the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
or

 

(3)       the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,

 

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by
a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Trustees.

 

If the Trustee shall resign,
be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with
respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect
to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series
and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

The Company shall give
notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided
in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and
the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.11       Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor.

 

In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company
or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 

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

 

Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be.

 

    	37

    	 

    

 

No successor Trustee shall
accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article.

 

SECTION 6.12       Merger, Conversion, Consolidation
or Succession to Business.

 

Any corporation into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by
merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

 

SECTION 6.13       Preferential Collection
of Claims Against Company.

 

If and when the Trustee
shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, but only to the extent therein specified, regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of such Act, the following terms shall mean:

 

(a)       “cash transaction”
means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods
or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and

 

(b)       “self-liquidating
paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company
for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise
and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables
or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security
is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,
drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

 

    	38

    	 

    

 

SECTION 6.14       Appointment of Authenticating
Agent.

 

The Trustee may appoint
an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or
partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment
shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall
be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities
by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section,
the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in this Section.

 

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

 

An Authenticating Agent
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Securities of
the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

 

The Trustee agrees to
pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07.

 

If an appointment with
respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition
to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

 

This is one of the Securities
of the series designated therein referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

 

    	39

    	 

    

 

	 	 
	 	As Trustee
	 	 
	 	By:	 
	 	 	As Authenticating Agent
	 	 	 
	 	By:	 
	 	 	Authorized Officer

 

If all of the Securities
of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities
upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon
original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.02 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having
an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders
of Securities of any other series.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.03       Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.

 

In executing, or accepting
the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein to the execution of the supplemental indenture have been complied with. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s owner’s
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

to Supplemental Indentures.

 

Securities of any series

the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company,

COVENANTS

 

SECTION 10.01       Payment of Principal,
Premium and Interest.

 

The Company covenants
and agrees for the benefit of Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

 

SECTION 10.02       Maintenance of Office
or Agency.

 

The Company will maintain
in each Place of Payment for any series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent
to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one
or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment 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 location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 10.03       Money for Securities Payments
to Be Held in Trust.

 

If the Company shall at
any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid
to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.

 

Whenever the Company shall
have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium
or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium
or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so
to act.

 

The Company will cause
each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply
with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default
by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities
of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent
for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

 

The Company may at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be
held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon
such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

 

Any money deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest
on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company
as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in
each Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less
than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

as to Default.

 

The Company will deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement
of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof
of which they may have knowledge. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event
within 20 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the
lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event
of Default or default.

 

SECTION 10.05       Existence.

 

Subject to Article Eight,
the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
(charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any
such right or franchise 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 that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the ability of the Company
to make payments hereunder.

 

SECTION 10.06       Maintenance of Properties.

 

The Company will cause
all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good
condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties
if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary
and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the ability of the Company to make payments hereunder.

 

SECTION 10.07       Payment
of Taxes and Other Claims.

 

The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary,
and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the
Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause
to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith.

SECTION 10.08       Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 

Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit
in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section
3.01(22), 9.01(2) or 9.01(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of
at least 50% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend
to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective,
the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in
full force and effect.

 

SECTION 10.09       Additional Amounts

 

If the Securities of a
series provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series additional
amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or
any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of
any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in
this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant
to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof
shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

 

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

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

SECTION 11.01       Applicability of Article.

 

Securities of any series
which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article.

 

SECTION 11.02       Election to Redeem; Notice
to Trustee.

 

The election of the Company
to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including
any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed
(unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed). In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or
(ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

SECTION 11.03       Selection by Trustee of
Securities to Be Redeemed.

 

If less than all the Securities
of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption,
by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions
(equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series
or of the principal amount of global securities of such series. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified
tenor are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in
accordance with the preceding sentence. If so specified in the Securities of a series, partial redemptions must be in an amount
not less than $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

 

    	49

    	 

    

 

The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for
partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

The provisions of the
two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security
is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount
of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such
Security.

 

For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which
has been or is to be redeemed.

 

SECTION 11.04       Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption shall
be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date.

 

All notices of redemption
shall state:

 

(1)       the Redemption
Date,

 

(2)       the Redemption
Price,

 

(3)       if less than all
the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and,
in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and,
if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount
of the particular Security to be redeemed,

 

(4)       that on the Redemption
Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest
thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

 

(5)       the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

 

(6)       that the redemption
is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and

 

(7)       applicable CUSIP
numbers, if any.

 

A notice of redemption
published as contemplated by Section 1.06 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

 

    	50

    	 

    

 

Notice of redemption of
Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable.

 

SECTION 11.05       Deposit of Redemption
Price.

 

Prior to any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except
if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that
date.

 

SECTION 11.06       Securities Payable on
Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption having
been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption
Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price
and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest
on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or
one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

 

If any Security called
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

 

SECTION 11.07       Securities Redeemed in
Part.

 

Any Security which is
to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

SECTION 12.01       Applicability of Article.

 

The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities.

 

The minimum amount of
any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,”
and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as
provided for by the terms of such Securities.

 

SECTION 12.02       Satisfaction of Sinking
Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company (1) may deliver
Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply, as a credit, Securities
of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the
terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities
to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

 

SECTION 12.03       Redemption of Securities
for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 45 days
prior (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the
Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment
for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment
of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.02
and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 45 days prior to 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
11.03 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 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

exercise of the option provided in Section 13.01 applicable to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied

the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such Section or clause whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or clause
or by reason of any reference in any such Section or clause to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

 

SECTION 13.04       Conditions to Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The following shall be
the conditions to application of either Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 to the then Outstanding Securities of any series:

 

    	53

    	 

    

 

(1)       The Company shall
irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section
6.10 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose
of making the following payments specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of such series, (A) money in an amount, or (B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal
and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any
payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall
be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of, premium, if any, and each installment
of interest on the Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of interest in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series. For this purpose, “Government Obligations” means, with respect
to any series of Securities, securities that are (x) direct obligations of the government that issued the currency in which such
series is denominated (or, if such series is denominated in euro, the direct obligations of any government that is a member of
the European Monetary Union) for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled
or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of such government the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed
as a full faith and credit obligation by such government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of
the issuer thereof and shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities
Act) as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation where the relevant government is the United States of America or a
specific payment of principal of or interest on any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder
of such depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from
the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such Government
Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on such Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

 

(2)       In the event of
an election to have Section 13.02 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by,
the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding
Securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance
and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

 

(3)       In the event of
an election to have Section 13.03 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not
recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject
to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
and covenant defeasance had not occurred.

 

    	54

Section 13.02 or 13.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights

duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the
meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken
thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and

verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company,
and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.
