The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its successor or successors in said trust under the Mortgage as follows:
ARTICLE I
EIGHTY-SIXTH SERIES BONDS
SECTION 1There shall be a series of bonds designated “LPFA 2016A Series due 2028” (herein sometimes called the “Eighty-sixth Series”), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bond”, and the form thereof, which has been established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series (which shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $85,681,000) shall be dated as in Section 10 of the Mortgage provided, shall mature on September 1, 2028, shall be issued as fully registered bonds in any integral multiple or multiples of One Thousand Dollars, and shall bear no interest.  The principal of each said bond to be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts.
In any case where any redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of the Eighty-sixth Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
The bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (together with its successors as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage referenced below, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”) under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust of the Company dated as of November 1, 2015 as the same may be supplemented and amended from time to time (the “Collateral Trust Mortgage”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be 

deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of such bonds which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of the bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
(I) Each holder of a bond of the Eighty-sixth Series consents that the bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series may be redeemed at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, without notice provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, on the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Mortgage. 
(II) The bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series shall not be transferable by the Collateral Trust Trustee, except to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.  Bonds of this series so transferable to a successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage may be transferred by the registered owner thereof, in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner prescribed in the Mortgage.  
At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series of other authorized denominations.
Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.
(III) Upon the delivery of this Eighty-third Supplemental Indenture and upon compliance with the applicable provisions of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, there shall be an initial issue of bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series for the aggregate principal amount of $85,681,000.  Additional bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series, without limitation as to amount, having substantially the same terms as the Outstanding bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series (except for the issue date) may be issued by the Company, subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, without notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the bonds of the Eighty-sixth Series.

In any case where any redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of the Eighty-seventh Series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
The bonds of the Eighty-seventh Series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to the Collateral Trust Trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.

The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of the bonds of the Eighty-seventh Series as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment. 
(I) Each holder of a bond of the Eighty-seventh Series consents that the bonds of the Eighty-seventh Series may be redeemed at the option of the Company or pursuant to the requirements of the Mortgage in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, without notice provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, in each case, on the date fixed for redemption by the Company in a notice delivered to the Trustee and to the holder of the bonds to be redeemed on or before the date fixed for redemption.
The bonds of the Eighty-seventh Series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time

Upon any exchange or transfer of bonds of the Eighty-seventh Series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of said Series.

This Bond is a Class A Bond (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) issued under the ELL Mortgage (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage).

First Mortgage Bond, LPFA 2016A Series due 2028
                 
TR-    $[           ]
ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC, a limited liability company of the State of Texas (hereinafter called the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as trustee under the Mortgage and Deed of Trust of the Company dated as of November 1, 2015 (as the same may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Collateral Trust Mortgage”), or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, on September 1,  2028, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,

without interest, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts, in like coin or currency at said office or agency.
In any case where any redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of this series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.
This bond is a temporary bond and is one of an issue of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, LPFA 2016A Series due 2028, all bonds of all series issued and to be issued under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by the Company’s Mortgage and Deed of Trust (herein, together with any indenture supplemental thereto, including the Eighty-third Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 15, 2016, called the “Mortgage”), dated as of April 1, 1944, executed by the Company to The Bank of New York Mellon, successor trustee (the “Trustee”).  Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions upon which the bonds are and are to be secured, the circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued and the rights of the Company to amend the Mortgage without any consent or other action by the holders of any series of bonds (including this series).  With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or the rights of the holders of the bonds and/or coupons and/or the terms and provisions of the Mortgage may be modified or altered by such affirmative 

vote or votes of the holders of bonds then outstanding as are specified in the Mortgage. Each initial and future holder of the bonds of this series, by its acquisition of an interest in such bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article II of the Eighty-first Supplemental Indenture without any other or further action by any holder of such bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such holder in favor of such amendments at any bondholder meeting, in lieu of any bondholder meeting, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
The bonds of this series shall be issued by the Company, registered in the name of and delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, or its successor as trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage (collectively, the “Collateral Trust Trustee”), to provide for the payment when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal and interest of the Securities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Mortgage) to be issued from time to time under the Collateral Trust Mortgage.
Any payment by the Company under the Collateral Trust Mortgage of the principal of the Securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Collateral Trust Mortgage on the basis of the issuance and delivery to the Collateral Trust Trustee of bonds of this series (other than by application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds) shall, to the extent of such payment, be deemed to satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to make a payment of principal of such bonds which is then due. 
The Trustee may conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of this bond as the same shall become due and payable shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until it shall have received a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, stating that principal due and payable on any Securities issued under the Collateral Trust Mortgage has not been fully paid and specifying the amount of funds required to make such payment.

The bonds of this series shall be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to the maturity date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Collateral Trust Trustee (i) delivered to the Trustee and the Company, (ii) signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or a Trust Officer, (iii) stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Collateral Trust Mortgage and that, as a result, there then is due and payable a specified amount with respect to the Securities Outstanding under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, for the payment of which the Collateral Trust Trustee has not received funds, and (iv) specifying the principal amount of the bonds of this series to be redeemed.  Delivery of such notice shall constitute a waiver by the Collateral Trust Trustee of notice of redemption under the Mortgage.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to the maturity date hereinbefore named on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a default as in the Mortgage provided.
This bond is not transferable except to any successor trustee under the Collateral Trust Mortgage, any such transfer to be made in the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond, together with a written instrument of transfer whenever required by the Company duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, and thereupon a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage.  

The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, any bonds of this series, upon surrender thereof, for cancellation, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.  
Upon any transfer or exchange of bonds of this series, the Company may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any right to make a charge in addition thereto for any exchange or transfer of bonds of this series. 
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this temporary bond is exchangeable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, without charge, for a definitive bond or bonds of the same series of a like aggregate principal amount when such definitive bonds are prepared and ready for delivery.
As provided in the Mortgage, the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of bonds of any series for a period of ten days next preceding any designation of bonds of said series to be redeemed, and the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of any bonds designated in whole or in part for redemption.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond against any incorporator or any  past, present or future subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, as such, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, subscribers, stockholders, officers and directors being released by the holder or owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Mortgage.
This bond shall not become obligatory until The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Mortgage, or its successor thereunder, shall have signed the form of authentication certificate endorsed hereon.

In any case where any redemption date or the maturity date of any bond of this series shall not be a Business Day, then payment of principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the corresponding redemption date, or at maturity, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such redemption date or the maturity date, as the case may be, to such Business Day.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the corporate trust office of the Trustee is closed for business.

THE SECURITIES 

Section 2.01 Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be issued under

(a) the title of the series; 

(b) the aggregate principal amount of the series;

 (bb) any other terms not inconsistent with this
Indenture. 
 All Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be
reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series. 
 The creation and issuance of a series and the authentication
and delivery thereof are not subject to any conditions precedent. 
 Section 2.02 Execution and
Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities by manual or facsimile signature. The Company’s seal shall be reproduced on the Securities. An Officer shall sign any coupons by facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or its coupons no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated or
delivered, the Security and coupons shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security and its coupons shall not be valid until the
Security is authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Registrar. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security shall be dated the date of its original
issuance or as provided in the Securities Resolution. 

  
 7 

 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. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 2, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and make available for delivery said Securities to or upon
the written order of the Company, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, its Vice President and Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers. In authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

(a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Securities were
established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Securities
are established by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers’ Certificate; 

(b) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; 

(c) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with Sections 12.03 and 12.04; and 

(d) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state: 

(i) that the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors in
accordance with Section 2.01 and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) that the terms of such
Securities have been established in accordance with Section 2.01 and in conformity with the other provisions of this Indenture; 

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

(iv) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been
complied with. 
 Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreement or usage. 

In the event Securities are issued in electronic or other uncertificated form, such Securities may be validly issued without the
signatures or seal contemplated by this Section 2.02. 

  
 8 

 Section 2.03 Agents. The Company shall maintain an office
or agency where Securities may be authenticated (“Registrar”), where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Transfer Agent”), where Securities may be presented for payment
(“Paying Agent”) and where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”). Whenever the Company must issue or deliver Securities pursuant to this Indenture, the Registrar shall authenticate the
Securities at the Company’s request. The Transfer Agent shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. 

The Company may appoint more than one Registrar, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent for a series. The Company shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company does not appoint or maintain a Registrar, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent for a series, the Trustee shall act as such. 

Section 2.04 Bearer Securities. U.S. laws and Treasury Regulations restrict sales or exchanges of and
payments on Bearer Securities. Therefore, except as provided below: 
 (a) Bearer Securities will be offered, sold or delivered only
outside the United States and will be delivered in connection with its original issuance only upon presentation of a certificate in a form prescribed by the Company to comply with U.S. laws and regulations. 

(b) Bearer Securities will not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities. 

(c) All payments of principal and interest (including original issue discount) on Bearer Securities will be made outside the United States by
a Paying Agent located outside the United States unless the Company determines that: 
 (i) such payments may not be made by
such Paying Agent because the payments are illegal or prevented by exchange controls as described in Treasury Regulation 1.163-5(c)(2)(v); and 

(ii) (B) making the payments in the United States would not have an adverse tax effect on the Company. 

If there is a change in the relevant provisions of U.S. laws or Treasury Regulations or the judicial or administrative interpretation thereof,
a restriction set forth in paragraph (1), (2) or (3) above will not apply to a series if the Company determines that the relevant provisions no longer apply to the series or that failure to comply with the relevant provisions would not have an
adverse tax effect on the Company or on Securityholders or cause the series to be treated as “registration required” obligations under U.S. law. 

The Company shall notify the Trustee of any determinations by the Company under this Section. 

“Treasury Regulations” means regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent for a
series other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the series, and will notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. 

  
 9 

 While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money so held
by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.

If the Company or an Affiliate acts as Paying Agent for a series, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as
Paying Agent for the series. 
 The Company may elect not to exchange or register the transfer of any Security for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
 Section 2.06 Securityholder Lists. The Trustee
shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Transfer Agent, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee semiannually
and at such other times as the Trustee may request a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of Registered Securities and Holders of Bearer Securities whose names are on the
list referred to below. 
 The Transfer Agent shall keep a list of the names and addresses of Holders of Bearer Securities who file a
request to be included on such list. A request will remain in effect for two years, and successive requests may be made. 
 Whenever
the Company or the Trustee is required to mail a notice to all Holders of Registered Securities of a series, it also shall mail the notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of the series whose names are on the list. 

Whenever the Company is required to publish a notice to all Holders of Bearer Securities of a series, it also shall mail the notice to such of
them whose names are on the list. 
 Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. Where Registered Securities
of a series are presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Registered Securities of other denominations of the same series, the Transfer Agent shall register the
transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. 
 The Transfer Agent may require a Holder to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any taxes imposed on a transfer or exchange. 
 If a series provides for Registered and Bearer Securities and for their
exchange, Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities and Registered Securities may be exchanged for Bearer Securities as provided in the Securities or the Securities Resolution if the requirements of the Transfer Agent for such
transactions are met and in the case of the exchange of registered securities for bearer securities if Section 2.04 permits the exchange. 

  
 10 

 Section 2.08 Replacement Securities. If the Holder of
a Security or coupon claims that it has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that the Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall issue a
replacement Security or coupon if the Company and the Trustee receive: 
 (a) evidence satisfactory to them of the loss,
destruction or taking; 
 (b) an indemnity bond satisfactory to them; and 

(c) payment of a sum sufficient to cover their expenses and any taxes for replacing the Security or coupon. 

A replacement Security shall have coupons attached corresponding to those, if any, on the replaced Security. 

Every replacement Security or coupon is an additional obligation of the Company. 

Section 2.09 Outstanding Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Registrar except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser. 
 If Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security. 

Section 2.10 Discounted Debt Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, the principal amount of a Discounted Debt Security shall be the amount of principal that would be due as of the date of such determination if payment of the Security
were accelerated on that date. 
 Section 2.11 Treasury Securities. In determining whether
the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or an Affiliate shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.12 Global Securities. If the Securities Resolution so provides, the Company may issue some or all of the Securities of a series in temporary or permanent
global form. A global Security may be in registered form, in bearer form with or without coupons or in uncertificated form. A global Security shall represent that amount of Securities of a series as specified in the global Security or as endorsed
thereon from time to time. At the Company’s request, the Registrar shall endorse a global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Securities represented thereby. 

  
 11 

 The Company may issue a global Security only to a depository designated by the
Company. A depository may transfer a global Security only as a whole to its nominee or to a successor depository. 
 The
Securities Resolution may establish, among other things, the manner of paying principal and interest on a global Security and whether and upon what terms a beneficial owner of an interest in a global Security may exchange such interest for
definitive Securities. 
 The Company, an Affiliate, the Trustee and any Agent shall not be responsible for any acts or
omissions of a depository, for any depository records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the depository and beneficial owners. 
 Section 2.13 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of a series are ready for delivery, the Company may use temporary Securities. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Temporary Securities may be in global form. Temporary Bearer Securities may have one or
more coupons or no coupons. 
 Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall deliver definitive Securities in exchange for
temporary Securities. 
 Section 2.14 Cancellation. The Company at any time may
deliver Securities to the Registrar for cancellation. The Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Securities and coupons surrendered to them for payment, exchange or registration of transfer. The
Registrar shall cancel all Securities or coupons surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or cancellation. The Registrar also will cancel all Bearer Securities and unmatured coupons unless the Company requests the Registrar
to hold the same for redelivery. Any Bearer Securities so held shall be considered delivered for cancellation under Section 2.09. The Registrar shall destroy cancelled Securities and coupons unless the Company otherwise directs.

 Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that the
Company has paid or that the Company has delivered to the Registrar for cancellation. 
 Section 2.15 Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on Registered Securities, it need not pay the defaulted interest to Holders on the regular record date. The Company may fix a special record date for determining
Holders entitled to receive defaulted interest, or the Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

 ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. Securities of a series that are redeemable before maturity shall be
redeemable in accordance with their terms and, unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, in accordance with this Article. 
 In
the case of a redemption by the Company, the Company shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall notify the Trustee at least 35 days before the redemption date unless a
shorter notice is satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 If the Company is required to redeem Securities, it may reduce the principal amount of
Securities required to be redeemed to the extent that it is permitted a credit against such redemption requirement by the terms of the Securities Resolution and notifies the Trustee of the amount of such credit and the basis for it. If the
reduction is based on a credit for acquired or redeemed Securities that the Company has not previously delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, the Company shall deliver the Securities at the same time as the notice. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of a series are to
be redeemed, in the case of securities issued in definitive form, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by a method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, in the case of securities issued in global form, the securities shall be
selected in accordance with the applicable policy and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select
for redemption portions of the principal of Securities having denominations larger than the minimum denomination for the series. Securities and portions thereof selected for redemption shall be in amounts equal to the minimum
denomination for the series or an integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a
notice of redemption by first class mail to each Holder of Registered Securities whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 If Bearer
Securities are to be redeemed, the Company shall publish a notice of redemption in an Authorized Newspaper as provided in the Securities. 

A notice shall identify the Securities of the series to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 
 (b)
the redemption price; 
 (c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

  
 13 

 (d) that Securities called for redemption, together with all coupons, if any, maturing after the
redemption date, must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (e) that interest on Securities called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (f) whether the redemption by the Company is mandatory or optional; and

 (g) whether the redemption is conditional as provided in Section 3.04, and if so, the terms of the conditions, and that, if the
conditions are not satisfied or is not waived by the Company, the Securities will not be redeemed and such a failure to redeem will not constitute an Event of Default. 

A redemption notice given by publication need not identify Registered Securities to be redeemed. 

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. 

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Except as provided below, once notice of redemption is
given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price stated in the notice. 
 A
notice of redemption may provide that it is subject to the occurrence of any event before the date fixed for such redemption as described in such notice (“Conditional Redemption”), and such notice of Conditional Redemption shall be
of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred on or before such date or have been waived by the Company in its sole discretion. 

Section 3.05 Payment of Redemption Price. On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 

When the Holder of a Security surrenders it for redemption in accordance with the redemption notice, the Company shall pay to the Holder on
the redemption date the redemption price and accrued interest to such date, except that: 
 (a) the Company will pay any such interest
(except defaulted interest) to Holders on the record date of Registered Securities if the redemption date occurs on an interest payment date; and 

(b) the Company will pay any such interest to Holders of coupons that mature on or before the redemption date upon surrender of such coupons
to the Paying Agent. 
 Coupons maturing after the redemption date on a called Security are void absent a payment default on that
date. Nevertheless, if a Holder surrenders for redemption a Bearer Security missing any such coupons, the Company may deduct the face amount of such coupons 

  
 14 

 
from the redemption price. If thereafter the Holder surrenders to the Paying Agent the missing coupons, the Company will return the amount so deducted. The Company may waive surrender
of the missing coupons if it receives an indemnity bond satisfactory to the Company. 
 Section 3.06 Securities
Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Security of the same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered. 
 Section 3.07 Limited Right of Redemption at Option of Beneficial
Owner. If, and to the extent, the Securities Resolution establishing a Series so provides, unless the Securities have been declared due and payable prior to their maturity by reason of an Event of Default, commencing on a date
specified in such Securities Resolution (the “Section 3.07 Commencement Date”) the Representative (as defined below) of a deceased holder of an interest in the Securities (a “Beneficial Owner”) has the right to
request redemption of all or part of his or her interest in the Securities, expressed in integral multiples of $1,000, for payment prior to maturity, and the Company will redeem the same subject to the limitations that the Company will not be
obligated to redeem during a period or periods specified in such Securities Resolution (each a “Section 3.07 Redemption Period”), (i) on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner any interest in the Securities which exceeds an
aggregate principal amount specified in said Securities Resolution (the “Section 3.07 Individual Limit”) and (ii) interests in the Securities in the aggregate principal amount exceeding such aggregate limit as is specified in
the Securities Resolution establishing a Series (the “Section 3.07 Aggregate Limit”). In the case of interests in the Securities owned by a deceased Beneficial Owner, a request for redemption may be presented to the Trustee at any
time and in any principal amount. If the Company, although not obligated to do so, chooses to redeem interests of a deceased Beneficial Owner in the Securities in any such period in excess of the Section 3.07 Individual Limit, such redemption, to
the extent that it exceeds the Section 3.07 Individual Limit for any Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the Section 3.07 Percentage Limit applicable to the Series for such Section 3.07 Redemption Period. 

Subject to the Section 3.07 Individual Limit and the Section 3.07 Aggregate Limit applicable to a Series, the Company will upon the death
of any Beneficial Owner redeem the interest of the Beneficial Owner in the Securities within 60 days following receipt by the Trustee of a validly completed Redemption Request, as hereinafter defined, including all supporting documentation, from
such Beneficial Owner’s personal representative, or surviving joint tenant(s), tenant(s) by the entirety or tenant(s) in common, or other persons entitled to effect such a Redemption Request (each, a “Representative”). If Redemption
Requests exceed either the Section 3.07 Individual Limit and the Section 3.07 Aggregate Limit then such excess Redemption Request (subject in the case of the Section 3.07 Individual Limit to the provisions of the last sentence of the preceding
paragraph) will be applied to successive Section 3.07 Redemption Periods in the order of receipt for prepayment, regardless of the number of Section 3.07 Redemption Periods required to redeem such interest unless sooner withdrawn as described below.

 A request for redemption of an interest in the Securities may be made by delivering a request to the depositary, if any, in
whose names the certificate or certificates representing such Securities (the “Depositary”) in the case of a participant in the system of such Depositary, 

  
 15 

 
including securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with such a participant, either directly or indirectly (a
“Participant”), which is the Beneficial Owner of such interest, or to the Participant through whom the Beneficial Owner owns such interest, in form satisfactory to the Participant, together with evidence of death of the Beneficial
Owner and the authority of the Representative satisfactory to the Participant and the Trustee. A Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner may make the request for redemption and shall submit such other evidence of the right to such redemption
as the Participant or Trustee shall require. The request shall specify the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed. A request for redemption in form satisfactory to the Participant and accompanied by the documents relevant to the request
as above provided, together with a certification by the Participant that it holds the interest on behalf of the deceased Beneficial Owner with respect to whom the request for redemption is being made (the “Redemption Request”) shall
be provided to the Depositary by a Participant and the Depositary will forward the request to the Trustee. Redemption Requests, including all supporting documentation, shall be in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and no request for redemption
shall be considered validly made until the Redemption Request and all supporting documentation, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, shall have been received by the Trustee. 
 The price to be paid by the Company for an interest in the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to a request from a deceased Beneficial Owner’s Representative is one hundred percent (100%) of the
principal amount thereof, unless otherwise specified in the Securities Resolution authorizing a series, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Subject to arrangements with the Depositary, payment for interests in the Securities
which are to be redeemed shall be made to the Depositary within 60 days following receipt by the Trustee of the Redemption Request, including all supporting documentation, and the Securities to be redeemed in the aggregate principal amount specified
in the Redemption Requests submitted to the Trustee by the Depositary which are to be fulfilled in connection with such payment. An acquisition of Securities by the Company or its subsidiaries other than by redemption at the option of any
Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner shall not be included in the computation of either the Section 3.07 Individual Limit or relevant Section 3.07 Aggregate Limit for any Section 3.07 Redemption Period. 

Interests in the Securities held in tenancy by the entirety, joint tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single
Beneficial Owner and the death of a tenant in common, tenant by the entirety or joint tenant will be deemed to be the death of the Beneficial Owner. The death of a person who, during such person’s lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of
the rights of a Beneficial Owner will be deemed the death of the Beneficial Owner, regardless of the recordation of such interest on the records of the Participant, if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant and the
Trustee. 
 Any Redemption Request may be withdrawn upon delivery of a written request for such withdrawal given to the Trustee
by the Depositary prior to payment of the redemption price of the interest in the Securities.

COVENANTS 
 Section
4.01 Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on a series in accordance with the terms of the Securities for the series, any related coupons, and this Indenture. Principal
and interest on a series shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent for the series holds on that date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the series. 

Section 4.02 Overdue Interest. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, the Company shall

 ARTICLE 5 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.01 When Company May Merge, etc. Unless the Securities Resolution establishing a series
otherwise provides, the Company shall not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any person in any transaction in which the Company is not the survivor unless:

coupons shall terminate. 
 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 6.01 Events of Default. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, an “Event
of Default” on a series occurs if: 
 (a) the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any Securities of the series when the
same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 60 days; 
 (b) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal
and premium, if any, of any Securities of the series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall continue for five or more days; 

(c) the Company defaults in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation with respect to any Securities of the series as
required by the Securities Resolution establishing such series and the Default continues for a period of 60 days; 
 (d) the Company
defaults in the performance of any of its other agreements applicable to the series and the Default continues for 90 days after the notice specified below; 

(e) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case, 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

  
 18 

 (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian for it or for all or
substantially all of its property, or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, 

(ii) appoints a Custodian for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 

(g) there occurs any other Event of Default provided for in the series. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term
“Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or a similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default
under clause (d) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 33-1/3% in principal amount of the series notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within the time specified after receipt of
the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If Holders notify the Company of a Default, they shall notify the Trustee at the same time. 

The failure to redeem any Security subject to a Conditional Redemption is not an Event of Default if any event on which such redemption is so
conditioned does not occur and is not waived before the scheduled redemption date. 
 Section
6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing on a series, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 33-1/3% in principal amount of the series by notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities of the series to be due and payable immediately. Discounted Debt Securities may provide that the amount of principal due upon acceleration is less than the
stated principal amount. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration
and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default on the series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the
acceleration. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing on a
series, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect principal or interest then due on the series, to enforce the performance of any provision applicable to the series, or otherwise to protect the rights of the Trustee and Holders of the
series. 

  
 19 

 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
coupons or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section
6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of a series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default on the series
and its consequences except: 
 (a) Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the series, or 

(b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 11.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of a series may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or direction might involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.  

A Securityholder of a series may pursue a remedy with respect to the series only if: 

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default on the series; 

(b) the Holders of at least 33-1/3% in principal amount of the series make a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent
with such request. 
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Securityholder. 

  
 20 

 Section 6.07 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of
Default in payment of interest, principal or sinking fund specified in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(b) or 6.01(c) occurs and is continuing on a series, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the series. 
 Section
6.08 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money for a series pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

Second: to Securityholders of the series for amounts due and unpaid for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority
of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may so direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a payment date for any payment to Securityholders. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad
faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 

  
 21 

 (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a)
of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 7.02 Rights of
Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall
not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Certificate or Opinion. 
 (c) The Trustee may act
through agents, attorneys, custodians and nominees and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it
pursuant to Section 6.05. 
 (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power which it reasonably believes may
expose it to any loss, liability or expense unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against such loss, liability or expense. 
 (f)
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) The Trustee shall have no duty with respect to a Default unless a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Default.
As used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto. 

(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized and within its
powers. 

  
 22 

 (i) Any Agent shall have the same rights and be protected to the same extent as if it were
Trustee. 
 (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
hereunder. 
 (k) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities or coupons and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture or the Securities or any coupons; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities or any coupons; it shall not be responsible for
determining whether the form and terms of any Securities or coupons were established in conformity with this Indenture; and it shall not be responsible for determining whether any Securities were issued in accordance with this Indenture. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing on a series and if the Trustee has actual knowledge of
such Default, the Trustee shall mail a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs to Holders of Registered Securities of the series. Except in the case of a Default in payment on a series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of Holders of the series. The Trustee shall withhold notice of a Default described in Section 6.01(d) until at least 90 days after it
occurs. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Any report required by TIA 313(a) to be mailed to Securityholders
shall be mailed by the Trustee on or before July 15 of each year. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which any Securities are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on a stock exchange. 

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 23 

 The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any loss, liability, damage,
claims, or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The
Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
through negligence or willful misconduct. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the Securities and any coupons on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal or interest on particular securities. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) occurs, such expenses
and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The provisions of
this Section shall survive any termination or discharge of this Indenture (including without limitation any termination under any Bankruptcy Law) and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

Trustee three months in advance and if no Default occurs during the three month period.

vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) If the Trustee fails to comply with TIA 310(a) or 310(b) or with Section 7.10, any
Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(g) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders of Registered Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

 ARTICLE 8

 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 

Section 8.01 Defeasance. Securities of a series may be defeased in accordance with their terms and,
unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, in accordance with this Article. 
 The Company at any time may terminate as to a
series all of its obligations under this Indenture, the Securities of the series and any related coupons (“legal defeasance option”). The Company at any time may terminate as to a series its obligations, if any, under any
restrictive covenants which may be applicable to a particular series (“covenant defeasance option”). However, in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08,
7.07, 7.08 and 8.04 shall survive until the Securities of the series are no longer outstanding; thereafter the Company’s obligations in Section 7.07 shall survive. 

  
 25 

 The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its
covenant defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated by
reference to any restrictive covenants which may be applicable to such series. 
 The Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of those obligations or restrictions that the Company terminates by defeasance. 
 Section 8.02 Conditions to
Defeasance. The Company may exercise as to a series its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option if: 

(a) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee or another trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations; 

(b) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion
that the payments of principal and interest when due on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations without reinvestment plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay
principal and interest when due on all the Securities of the series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (c) immediately after
the deposit no Default exists; 
 (d) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 

(e) the deposit does not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest under TIA 310(a) or 310(b) as to another series; 

(f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss
for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance; and 
 (g) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day
period no Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) occurs that is continuing at the end of the period. 
 Before or after a deposit
the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3. 

“U.S. Government Obligations” means direct obligations of (i) the United States or (ii) an agency or
instrumentality of the United States, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed by the United States, which, in either case, have the full faith and credit of the United States pledged for payment and which are not callable at the
issuer’s option, or certificates representing an ownership interest in such obligations. 

  
 26 

 Section 8.03 Application of Trust Money. 

The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.02. It shall apply the
deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal and interest on Securities of the defeased series. 

Section 8.04 Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the
Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. 
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company
upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as unsecured
general creditors unless an abandoned property law designates another person. 
 ARTICLE 9 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 

Section 9.01 Agreement of Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Securities issued hereunder by
his acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 9; and each Securityholder, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to
be bound by such provisions. 
 The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall, to
the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred. 

The provisions of this Article 9 define the subordination of the Securities, as obligations of the Company, with respect to Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as defined for the Company. All such provisions shall also be deemed to apply in the same way (mutatis mutandis) to each guarantor of Securities issued hereafter, with appropriate corresponding references to the
Senior Indebtedness of such guarantor. 
 No provision of this Article 9 shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default
hereunder. 
 Section 9.02 Payments to Securityholders. In the event and during the continuation of any default in the
payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company continuing beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness of the Company, then,
unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, except any sinking fund
payments made by the acquisition of Securities prior to the happening of such default and payments made pursuant to Article 8 hereof from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to the happening of such default. 

  
 27 

 Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings,
all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the principal (and premium, if
any) or interest on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article 8 hereof from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to the happening of such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such
dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of and kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee
would be entitled, except for the provisions of this Article 9, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, or by the
Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have
been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Company in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders
of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee. 
 If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities
before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued,
as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the Company in full in money
in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 

For purposes of this Article 9, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the
Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 9 with respect
to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company (other than leases) and of leases 

  
 28 

 
which are assumed are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into,
another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 5
hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 9.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions
stated in Article 5 hereof. Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07. 

Section 9.03 Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the rights
of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of the
Company until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company of any cash,
property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 9 no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, to or for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the
Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 9 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one
hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, on the other hand. 
 Nothing contained in this Article 9 or elsewhere in
this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of its Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of its Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 9 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon
the exercise of any such remedy. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 9, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the 

  
 29 

 
Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
this Article 9. 
 Section 9.04 Authorization by Securityholders. Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance
thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 9 appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 Section 9.05 Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give promptly written notice to a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article
9 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 9, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any
trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not fewer than three
Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not
have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 9.05, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same
to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore set forth, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Company or the Trustee to the Securityholders of monies in connection with a redemption of
Securities if (i) notice of such redemption has been given pursuant to Article 3 hereof prior to the receipt by the Trustee of written notice as aforesaid, and (ii) such notice of redemption is given not earlier than 60 days before the redemption
date. 
 The Trustee conclusively shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing
himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or
holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant
to this Article 9, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article 9, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to
the right of such person to receive such payment. 

  
 30 

 Section 9.06 Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The
Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 9 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company and nothing elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 With respect to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 9, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Trustee shall not be
liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article 9 or otherwise. 
 Section 9.07 No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future
holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charge with. 

Section 9.08 Rights of Trustee. Nothing in this Article 9 shall apply to claims of or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.07 or Section 8.03. 
 ARTICLE 10 

CONVERSION 

Section 10.01 Conversion Privilege. If the Securities Resolution establishing the terms of a series of
Securities so provides, Securities of any series may be convertible at the option of the holders into or for Common Stock or other equity or debt securities (a “Conversion Right”). The Securities Resolution may establish, among
other things, the Conversion Rate, provisions for adjustments to the Conversion Rate and limitations upon exercise of the Conversion Right. 

Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, a Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 or in integral
multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the conversion of the aggregate principal amount of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of it. 

The Securities Resolution providing for Securities with a Conversion Right may establish any terms in addition to, or other than (including
terms inconsistent with), those set forth in this Article 10 with respect to the Conversion of the Securities established thereby (other than those of Section 10.16). 

  
 31 

 Section 10.02 Conversion Procedure. To convert a Security a
Holder must satisfy all requirements in the Securities or the Securities Resolution and (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) provided for in the Securities Resolution or the Security (or
complete and manually sign a facsimile thereof) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent or any other office or agency maintained for such purpose, (ii) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent or at such other office or agency by
physical delivery, (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and (iv) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes. The date on which such notice shall have been received by and the Security shall have
been so surrendered to the Conversion Agent is the “Conversion Date.” Such Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn by a Holder for any reason. 

The Company will complete settlement of any conversion of Securities not later than the fifth business day following the Conversion Date in
respect of the cash portion elected to be delivered in lieu of the securities into which the Security is convertible and not later than the seventh business day following the Conversion Date in respect of the portion to be settled in such
securities. 
 If any Security is converted between the record date for the payment of interest and the next succeeding interest payment
date, such Security must be accompanied by funds (in immediately available funds) equal to the interest payable on such succeeding interest payment date on the principal amount so converted (unless such Security shall have been called for redemption
during such period, in which case no such payment shall be required). A Security converted on an interest payment date need not be accompanied by any payment, and the interest on the principal amount of the Security being converted will be paid
on such interest payment date to the registered holder of such Security on the immediately preceding record date. Subject to the aforesaid right of the registered holder to receive interest, no payment or adjustment will be made on conversion
for interest accrued on the converted Security or for interest, dividends or other distributions payable on any security issued on conversion. 

If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the securities into which the Security is convertible issuable or cash payable
upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Securities converted. 
 Upon surrender of a Security that is
converted in part the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered; except that if a global Security is so surrendered the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Depositary a new global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unconverted portion of the principal of the global Security so surrendered. 

If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal Holiday in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Security may be
surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday. 
 Section 10.03 Taxes on
Conversion. If a Holder of a Security exercises a Conversion Right, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the securities into which the Security is convertible upon
the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because securities or other property are issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax or other withholding required by law or
regulations. 

  
 32 

 Section 10.04 Company Determination Final. Any
determination that the Board of Directors makes pursuant to this Article 10 or consistent with terms provided for in any Securities Resolution is conclusive, absent manifest error. 

Section 10.05 Trustee’s and Conversion Agent’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee (and each Conversion Agent other than the Company) has no duty to determine when or if an adjustment under this Article 10 or any Securities Resolution should be made, how it should be made or
calculated or what it should be. The Trustee (and each Conversion Agent other than the Company) makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee (and each Conversion Agent other
than the Company) shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 10 or any provision of a Securities Resolution relating to a Conversion Right. 

Section 10.06 Company to Provide Conversion Securities. The Company shall reserve out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock or its Common Stock held in treasury sufficient shares to permit the conversion of all of the Securities convertible into Common Stock. The Company shall arrange and make available for issuance upon
conversion the full amount of any other securities into which the Securities are convertible to permit such conversion of the Securities. 
 All shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of any person which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

The Company will comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of securities upon conversion of Securities.

 Section 10.07 Cash Settlement Option. If the Securities Resolution so provides, the
Company may elect to satisfy, in whole or in part, a Conversion Right of Securities convertible into Common Stock or other securities of any person by the delivery of cash. The amount of cash to be delivered shall be equal to the Market Price
on the last Trading Day preceding the applicable Conversion Date of a share of Common Stock or other securities of any person into which the Securities are convertible multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock or the number of shares or
principal amount of other securities into which the Securities are convertible, respectively, in respect of which the Company elects to deliver cash. If the Company elects to satisfy, in whole or in part, a Conversion Right by the delivery of
shares of Common Stock or other securities, no fractional shares or portion of other securities will be delivered. Instead, the Company will pay cash based on the Market Price for such fractional share of Common Stock or portion of other
securities. 
 The “Market Price” of the Common Stock into which Securities or other equity securities into
which the Securities are convertible may be converted pursuant to a Securities Resolution or this Article 10 on any Trading Day means the weighted average per share sale price for all sales of the Common Stock or other equity securities on such
Trading Day (or, if the information necessary to calculate such weighted average per share sale price is not reported, the 

  
 33 

 
average of the high and low sale prices, or if no sales are reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and average ask
prices), as reported in the composite transactions for the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock or other equity securities into which the Securities are convertible are not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, as reported in
the composite transactions for the principal national or regional United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock or other equity securities into which the Securities are convertible are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common
Stock or other equity securities into which the Securities are convertible are not listed or admitted to trading on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by NASDAQ or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or
if not so reported, as determined in the manner set forth in the appropriate Securities Resolution. In the absence of such quotations, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Market Price on the basis of such quotations as it considers
appropriate. 
 The “Market Price” of any debt security into which Securities are convertible shall be determined as set
forth in the applicable Securities Resolution. 
 Section 10.08 Adjustment in Conversion Rate for Change in Capital
Stock. If the Securities are convertible into Common Stock and the Company: 
 (a) pays a dividend or makes a
distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock; 
 (b) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares; 
 (c) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; 

(d) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Capital Stock other than Common Stock; or 

(e) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its Capital Stock, then the conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate in
effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Security thereafter converted may receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (or, at the Company’s option, an equivalent amount in cash) which
he would have owned immediately following such action if he had converted the Security immediately prior to such action. 
 The adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. 

If the security into which the Securities are convertible is other than Common Stock of the Company, the conversion rate shall be subject to
adjustment as set forth in the applicable Securities Resolution. 
 If after an adjustment a Holder of a Security may, upon conversion,
receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Rate between or among

  
 34 

 
the classes of Capital Stock or other securities. After such allocation, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate of each class of Capital Stock or other securities shall thereafter
be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Article or in such Securities Resolution. 

Section 10.09 Adjustment in Conversion Rate for Common Stock Issued Below Market Price. If the
Securities are convertible into Common Stock, and the Company issues to all holders of Common Stock rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities at a Price Per Share (as defined and determined according to the formula given below) lower than the current Market Price on the
date of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: 
  

	
	R
	C = CC x O + M
	O+ N

 where: 
  

			
	AC =	 	the adjusted Conversion Rate.
		
	CC =	 	the then current Conversion Rate.
		
	  O =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (which number shall include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company).
		
	  N =	 	the “Number of Shares,” which (i) in the case of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, is the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof; and (ii) in the case of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase convertible or exchangeable securities, is the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon the conversion or exchange of the convertible or exchangeable securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
		
	  R =	 	the proceeds received or receivable by the Company, which (i) in the case of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock, is the aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company in consideration for the sale and issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, other than the convertible or exchangeable securities, payable to the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof; and (ii) in the case of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase convertible or
exchangeable securities, is the

  
 35 

			
		 	aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company in consideration for the sale and issuance of such rights, options or warrants, plus the minimum aggregate consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise thereof, plus
the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, other than the convertible or exchangeable securities, payable upon the conversion or exchange of the convertible or exchangeable securities; provided, that in each case the proceeds received
or receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of gross cash proceeds without deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or others performing
similar services or any expenses incurred in connection therewith.
		
	M =	 	the current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of issue of the rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or the securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock or the rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase convertible or exchangeable securities.

 “Price Per Share” shall be defined and determined according to the following formula: 

 

	
	P = R
	N

 where: 

P = Price Per Share 
 and R and
N have the meanings assigned above. 
 If the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities with
respect to its Common Stock for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash the amount of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and
evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors filed with the Trustee. 
 The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
additional rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities with respect to its Common Stock are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the date of issue of such shares, rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities. 
 To the extent that such rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Stock expire unexercised or to the extent
any convertible or exchangeable securities with respect to its Common Stock are redeemed by the Company or otherwise cease to be convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate
which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase only the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such rights, options or warrants were actually exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock that were actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of the convertible or
exchangeable securities. 

  
 36 

 If the Securities are convertible into securities other than the Common Stock, any adjustment in
the Conversion Rate required for the issuance or sale of the securities into which the Securities are convertible shall be made as set forth in the Securities Resolution. 

Section 10.10 Adjustment For Other Distributions. If the Securities are initially convertible into
Common Stock and the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of its assets or debt securities or any rights or warrants to purchase assets or debt securities of the Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with
the following formula: 
  

	
	AC = CC x        (O x M)
	(O x M) - F

 where: 
  

			
	AC =	 	the adjusted Conversion Rate.
		
	CC =	 	the then current Conversion Rate.
		
	  O =	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date mentioned below (which number shall include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company).
		
	  M =	 	the current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the record date mentioned below.
		
	  F =	 	the fair market value on the record date of the assets, securities, rights or warrants distributed. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value.

 The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive the distribution. 
 If the securities into which the Securities are convertible are other than Common Stock, any
adjustments for such other distribution shall be made as set forth in the Securities Resolution. 
 This Section does not apply to cash
dividends or distributions or to reclassifications or distributions referred to in Section 10.08. Also, this Section does not apply to shares issued below Market Price referred to in Section 10.09. 

Section 10.11 Voluntary Adjustment. The Company at any time may increase the Conversion Rate,
temporarily or otherwise, by any amount but in no event shall such Conversion Rate result in the issuance of Capital Stock at a price less than the par value of such Capital Stock at the time such increase is made. 

  
 37 

 Section 10.12 When Adjustment May be Deferred. No
adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are not made due to the immediately preceding sentence shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, that any adjustment carried forward shall be deferred not in excess of three years, whereupon any adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be effected. 

All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. 

Section 10.13 When No Adjustment Required. Except as set forth in Section 10.09, no adjustment in the
Conversion Rate shall be made because the Company issues, in exchange for cash, property or services, shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase shares of Common
Stock or such convertible securities. 
 No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made for rights to purchase or the sale of Common
Stock pursuant to a Company plan providing for reinvestment of dividends or interest. 
 No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made
for a change in the par value of the Common Stock or other securities having a par value. 
 No adjustment need be made for a transaction
referred to in Section 10.08, 10.09 or 10.10 if Securityholders are to participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of
Common Stock or other securities into which the Securities are convertible participate in the transaction. 
 Section
10.14 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders of Securities affected a notice of the adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate or a certificate from the Company’s independent public accountants stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is
correct, absent manifest error. 
 Section 10.15 Notice of Certain Transactions. If: 

(a) the Company proposes to take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, 

(b) the Company proposes to take any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.16, or 

(c) there is a proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the issuer of any other security into which the Securities are
convertible, the Company shall mail to registered Holders of Securities of any affected series a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a subdivision, combination, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. 

  
 38 

 Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the
transaction. 
 Section 10.16 Reorganization of the Company. If the Company is a party to
a transaction subject to Section 5.01, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) shall enter into a supplemental indenture which shall provide that the Holder of a Security may convert it into the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other assets which he would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger or transfer if he had converted the Security immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The supplemental indenture shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The successor company shall mail to Holders of Securities of any affected series a notice briefly describing the supplemental
indenture. 
 If this Section applies, Sections 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10 do not apply. 

ARTICLE 11 

AMENDMENTS 
 Section 11.01 Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Securities or any coupons without the consent of any
Securityholder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 

(b) to comply with Article 5 or Section 10.16; 
 (c) to provide that specific provisions of this Indenture shall not apply to a series not previously issued; 
 (d) to create a series and establish its terms; 
 (e) to provide for a separate
Trustee for one or more series; or 
 (f) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any
Securityholder. 
 Section 11.02 With Consent of Holders. Unless the Securities Resolution
otherwise provides, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Securities and any coupons with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series affected by the amendment voting as
one class. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment under this Section may not: 
 (a)
reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment; 
 (b) reduce the interest on or change the time for
payment of interest on any Security; 
 (c) change the fixed maturity of any Security; 

  
 39 

 (d) reduce the principal of any non-Discounted Debt Security or reduce the amount of principal of
any Discounted Debt Security that would be due upon an acceleration thereof; 
 (e) change the currency in which principal or interest on a
Security is payable; 
 (f) make any change that materially adversely affects the right to convert any Security; or 

(g) make any change in Section 6.04 or 11.02, except to increase the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver
or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be amended or waived without the consent of each Securityholder affected thereby. 

An amendment of a provision included solely for the benefit of one or more series does not affect Securityholders of any other series. 

Securityholders need not consent to the exact text of a proposed amendment or waiver; it is sufficient if they consent to the substance
thereof. 
 Section 11.03 Compliance With Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment pursuant to Section
11.01 or 11.02 shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture (except any amendment pursuant to Section 11.01[(4)], which may be set forth in a Securities Resolution) that complies with the TIA. 

If a provision of the TIA requires or permits a provision of this Indenture and the TIA provision is amended, then the
Indenture provision shall be automatically amended to like effect. 
 Section 11.04 Effect of
Consents. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Securityholder entitled to consent to it. 

A consent to an amendment or waiver by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. Any Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security if the Trustee receives notice of the revocation before the amendment or waiver becomes effective. 

The Company may fix a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give a consent. The record date
shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the first written solicitation of Securityholders. 
 Section
11.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. The Company or the Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company may issue in
exchange for affected Securities new Securities that reflect the amendment or waiver.

amendment or supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that such amendment or supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

[Title of Security] 
 [Explanatory
Notes follow Exhibit B] 
 1. Interest. 

[Name of Company] (“Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
            , promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest on and of each year commencing
            , 20    . Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from             , 20    . Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. 
 The Company will
pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the record date for the next interest payment date, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. Holders must surrender Securities
to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may pay principal and
interest by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a holder’s registered address. 
 3. Agents. 

Initially,              Attention:
            , will act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without notice or provide for more
than one such agent. The Company or any Affiliate may act in any such capacity. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may change the Trustee. 

4. Indenture. 
 The Company issued the
securities of this series (“Securities”) under an Indenture dated as of             , 20     (“Indenture”) between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (“Trustee”). The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and in the Securities Resolution creating the Securities and those made part of the Indenture
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code 77aaa–77bbbb), as amended. Securityholders are referred to the Indenture, the Securities Resolution and the Act for a statement of such terms. 

5. Optional Redemption. 
 On or after
            ,         , the Company may redeem all the Securities at any time or some of them from time to time at the following
redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

 If redeemed during the 12-month period beginning, 

Year    Percentage    Year    Percentage 

and thereafter at 100%. 
 6. Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company will redeem $             principal amount of Securities on and
on each thereafter through at a redemption price of 100% of principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The Company may reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph by subtracting 100% of
the principal amount (excluding premium) of any Securities (i) that the Company has acquired or that the Company has redeemed other than pursuant to this paragraph and (ii) that the Company has delivered to the Registrar for
cancellation. The Company may so subtract the same Security only once. 
 On
             of each year commencing             , the Trustee will, upon the death of any registered owner, redeem
any of the Securities held by a registered owner following presentation thereof or redemption as described below by such registered owner’s personal representative or surviving joint tenant(s), subject to the limitation that in any month period
the Trustee shall not be obligated to redeem Securities pursuant to this provision to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so subject to redemption exceeds
$            , or the Securities of any registered owner tendered for redemption are in excess of the aggregate. The Securities subject to redemption as described above may be
presented for redemption by delivering to the Trustee (i) a written request for redemption in form satisfactory to the Trustee, signed by the personal representative or surviving joint tenant(s) of the registered owner, (ii) the Securities
to be redeemed, (iii) appropriate evidence of death and ownership of such Securities at the time of death, and (iv) appropriate evidence of the authority of such personal representative or surviving joint tenant(s). In order for Securities
to be eligible for redemption on any             , such Securities must be presented for redemption in full compliance with the provisions set forth above, prior to following the
death of the registered owner of such Securities and next preceding such             . Securities presented for redemption prior to maturity will be redeemed in order of their
receipt by the Trustee. Any such Securities not redeemed in any such period because of the aggregate limitation or the individual $             limitation will be held in the order
described above for redemption on in succeeding years until redeemed. Any such redemption shall be at a price equal to             % of the principal amount of the Securities so to
be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, but without a premium. 
 The death of a person who, during his lifetime, was
entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interest of ownership of a Security will be deemed the death of a registered owner, regardless of the registered owner, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Trustee. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or similar statute, community property or other joint ownership arrangements
between husband and wife, and trust and certain other arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Securities during his lifetime. In the case of Securities registered in the name of

  
 48 

 
banks, trust companies or broker-dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“Qualified Institutions”), the
redemption limitations described above apply to each beneficial owner of Securities held by any Qualified Institution. In connection with the redemption request, such Qualified Institution must submit evidence, satisfactory to the Trustee, that it
holds Securities subject to request on behalf of such beneficial owner and must certify the aggregate amount of redemption requests made on behalf of such beneficial owner. 

7. Additional Optional Redemption. 
 In
addition to redemptions pursuant to the above paragraph(s), the Company may redeem not more than $             principal amount of Securities on
             and on each              thereafter through
             at a redemption price of 100% of principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

8. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of
redemption will be mailed at least 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. 

A notice of redemption may provide that it is subject to the occurrence of any event before the date fixed for such redemption as described in
such notice (“Conditional Redemption”) and such notice of Conditional Redemption shall be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before such date or have been waived by the Company. 

9. Subordination. 
 Reference is made to
the Indenture, including, without limitation, provisions subordinating the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture. Such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 10. Conversion. 

A Holder of a Security may convert it into Common Stock of the Company or cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, at any
time before the close of business on             , or, if the Security is called for redemption, the Holder may convert it at any time before the close of business on the redemption
date. The initial Conversion Rate is              (or an equivalent amount in cash) per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 10 of
the Indenture. The Company will deliver a check in lieu of any fractional share. On conversion no payment or adjustment for interest accrued on the Securities will be made nor for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion. If
any Security is converted between the record date for the payment of interest and the next succeeding interest payment date, such Security must be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on such succeeding interest payment date on the
principal amount so converted (unless such Security shall have been called for redemption, in which case no such payment shall be required). A Security converted on an interest payment date need not be accompanied by any payment, and the
interest on the principal amount of the Security being converted will be paid on such interest payment date to the registered holder of such Security on the immediately preceding record date. 

  
 49 

 To convert a Security a Holder must (1) complete and sign the conversion notice on the back of
the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax if required. A Holder may
convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 11. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. 

The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities
may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Transfer Agent may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or the Indenture. The Transfer Agent need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15
days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
 12. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The registered holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

13. Amendments and Waivers. 
 Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of all series affected by the amendment. Subject to certain exceptions, a default on a series
may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the series. 
 Without the consent of any Securityholder,
the Indenture or the Securities may be amended, among other things, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; to provide for assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders; or to make any change that does not
materially adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
 14. Restrictive Covenants. 

The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to
$             principal amount. The Indenture does not limit other unsecured debt. 

15. Successors. 
 When a successor assumes
all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture, the Company will be released from those obligations 

  
 50 

 16. Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if
the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity. U.S. Government Obligations are securities backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States of America or certificates representing an ownership interest in such Obligations. 
 17. Defaults and Remedies. 

An Event of Default includes: default for 60 days in payment of interest on the Securities; default in payment of principal on the Securities;
default for 60 days in payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation; default by the Company for a specified period after notice to it in the performance of any of its other agreements applicable to the Securities; certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency; and any other Event of Default provided for in the series. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 33-1/3% in principal amount of the Securities may declare the principal
of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. 
 Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. 
 The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the
Securities. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing
default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee. 

18. Trustee Dealings with Company. 
 The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. 
 19. No Recourse Against Others. 

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
 20. Authentication. 

This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by a manual signature of the Registrar. 

  
 51 

 21. Abbreviations. 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by
the entirety), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and the Securities Resolution,
which contain the text of this Security in larger type. Requests may be made to: [Name/Address of Company], Attention: Corporate Secretary.

entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interest of ownership of a Security will be deemed the death of a registered owner, regardless of the registered owner, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Trustee. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or similar statute, community property or other joint ownership arrangements
between husband and wife, and trust and certain other arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Securities during his lifetime. In the case of Securities registered in the name of banks, trust
companies or broker-dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“Qualified Institutions”), the redemption limitations described above apply to each beneficial owner
of Securities held by any Qualified 

  
 55 

 
Institution. In connection with the redemption request, such Qualified Institution must submit evidence, satisfactory to the Trustee, that it holds Securities subject to request on behalf of such
beneficial owner and must certify the aggregate amount of redemption requests made on behalf of such beneficial owner. 
 7. Additional Optional
Redemption. 
 In addition to redemptions pursuant to the above paragraph(s), the Company may redeem not more than
$             principal amount of Securities on and on each thereafter through at a redemption price of 100% of principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 8. Subordination. 
 Reference is made
to the Indenture, including, without limitation, provisions subordinating the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture. Such
further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 9. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption will be published once in an Authorized Newspaper in the City of New York and if the Securities are listed on any stock
exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange so requires, in any other required city outside the United States at least 30 days before the redemption date. Notice of redemption also will be mailed to holders who have filed
their names and addresses with the Transfer Agent within the two preceding years. A holder of Securities may miss important notices if he fails to maintain his name and address with the Transfer Agent. 

A notice of redemption may provide that it is subject to the occurrence of any event before the date fixed for such redemption as described in
such notice (“Conditional Redemption”) and such notice of Conditional Redemption shall be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before such date or have been waived by the Company. 

10. Conversion. 
 A Holder of a Security
may convert it into Common Stock of the Company or cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, at any time before the close of business on             , or, if the
Security is called for redemption, the Holder may convert it at any time before the close of business on the redemption date. The initial Conversion Rate is              (or an
equivalent amount in cash) per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, subject to adjustment as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture. The Company will deliver a check in lieu of any fractional share. On conversion no payment or
adjustment for interest accrued on the Securities will be made nor for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion. If any Security is converted between the record date for the payment of interest and the next succeeding interest payment
date, such Security must be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on such succeeding interest payment date on the principal amount so converted (unless such Security shall have been called for redemption, in which case no such

  
 56 

 
payment shall be required). A Security converted on an interest payment date need not be accompanied by any payment, and the interest on the principal amount of the Security being converted
will be paid on such interest payment date to the registered holder of such Security on the immediately preceding record date. 
 To convert
a Security a Holder must (1) complete and sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or
Conversion Agent and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax if required. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 

11. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. 

The Securities are in bearer form with coupons in denominations of $5,000 and whole multiples of $5,000. The Securities may be transferred
by delivery and exchanged as provided in the Indenture. Upon an exchange, the Transfer Agent may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or the Indenture. The
Transfer Agent need not exchange any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption. 
 Also, it need not exchange any Securities
for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 
 12. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The holder of a Security or coupon may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

13. Amendments and Waivers. 
 Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities of all series affected by the amendment. Subject to certain exceptions, a default on a series
may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the series. 
 Without the consent of any Securityholder,
the Indenture or the Securities may be amended, among other things, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; to provide for assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders; or to make any change
that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
 14. Restrictive Covenants. 

The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company limited to
$             principal amount. The Indenture does not limit other unsecured debt. 

15. Successors. 
 When a successor assumes
all the obligations of the Company under the Securities, any coupons and the Indenture, the Company will be released from those obligations. 

  
 57 

 16. Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities, any coupons and the
Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity. U.S. Government Obligations are securities backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States of America or certificates representing an ownership interest in such Obligations. 
 17. Defaults and Remedies. 

An Event of Default includes: default for 60 days in payment of interest on the Securities; default in payment of principal on the Securities;
default for 60 days in payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation; default by the Company for a specified period after notice to it in the performance of any of its other agreements applicable to the Securities; certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency; and any other Event of Default provided for in the series. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 33-1/3% in principal amount of the Securities may declare the principal
of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. 
 Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interests. The Company must furnish annual compliance certificates to the Trustee. 
 18. Trustee Dealings with Company. 

            , the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. 

19. No Recourse Against Others. 
 A
director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or
their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 

20. Authentication. 
 This Security shall
not be valid until authenticated by a manual signature of the Registrar. 

  
 58 

 21. Abbreviations. 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by
the entirety), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

The Company will furnish to any Securityholder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and the Securities Resolution,
