	Re:	Employment Terms 

  
 Dear Michael: 
  
 Quest Software,
Inc. (“Quest”) is pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Finance, on the following terms. It is our understanding that you will be designated Quest’s Chief Financial Officer as well following an orderly transition
period (expected to continue until March 15, 2005). 
  
 You will
report to me, work out of our corporate offices in Aliso Viejo, California and be expected to perform various duties consistent with your position. Of course, Quest may change your position, duties, and work location from time to time as Quest deems
necessary. 
  
 Your compensation will be $350,000 per year, to be
paid semi-monthly and subject to payroll deductions and all required withholdings, commencing when you report to work on or about November 29, 2004. In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus of up
to $100,000. The bonus amount you may receive, if any, shall be discretionary and based your performance during the previous year as evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee of the Quest Board of Directors, in their
sole and absolute discretion. You will be eligible for standard Quest benefits, including group medical, dental and life insurance plans and participation in our 401k Plan. Details about these benefits and our policies for vacation, sick leave and
holidays, are available for your review. Quest may modify compensation and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary. 
  
 If Quest terminates your employment without cause, Quest will pay your base salary and accrued and unused vacation earned through the date of termination,
at the rate in effect at the time of termination subject to standard deductions and withholdings. In addition, upon your furnishing to the Company an effective waiver and release of claims in our standard form, you will continue to receive 50% of
your base salary for a period of twelve months from the termination date, less standard deductions and withholdings. 
  
 The Compensation Committee of Quest’s Board of Directors has approved Quest’s grant to you of a nonqualified stock option under the Quest 1999
Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 400,000 shares of Quest Common Stock (the “Option”). The Option will be granted on the date your employment commences, and will be governed by and granted pursuant to a separate Stock Option Agreement. The
exercise price per share of the Option will be equal to the fair market value of the common stock established on the date of grant, and will be subject to vesting over five (5) years so long as you continue to be employed with Quest, according to
the following schedule: twenty percent (20%) of such options will vest one year from the grant date and the remaining shares will vest in equal installments at the end of each six-month period thereafter for four (4) years. 
  
 As a Quest employee, you will be expected to abide by Quest rules and
regulations and acknowledge in writing that you have read our Employee Handbook which will govern the terms and conditions of your employment. The Employee Handbook may be modified from time to time at the sole discretion of Quest. You will also be
expected to abide by Quest’s Code of Business Ethics. 
  

 As a condition of employment, you will be required to sign and comply with our form of Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement which, among other customary restrictions, prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary information. 
  
 In your work for Quest, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other
person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, you will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the
industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by Quest. During our discussions about your proposed job duties, you assured us that you would be able to perform those duties within the guidelines just
described. You agree that you will not bring onto Quest premises any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. 
  
 Your employment with Quest is not for a guaranteed or definite period of
time. Rather, the employment relationship is “at will”. This means that you may terminate your employment with Quest at any time and for any reason whatsoever simply by notifying Quest. Likewise, Quest may terminate your employment at any
time and for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause or advance notice. This at-will employment relationship cannot be changed except in a writing signed by a Quest executive officer. 
  
 Except with the prior written consent of the Quest Chief Executive Officer,
you will not, during any period during which you are receiving compensation or any other consideration from Quest, including, but not limited to, severance pay, engage in competition with Quest and/or any of its affiliates, either directly or
indirectly, in any manner or capacity, as adviser, principal, agent, affiliate, promoter, partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, owner, co-owner, consultant, or member of any association or otherwise, in any phase of the business of
developing, manufacturing and marketing of products or services which are in the same field of use or which otherwise compete with the products or services or proposed products or services of Quest and/or any of its affiliates. 
  
 This letter, together with your Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement and the Employee Handbook, forms the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of your employment with Quest. The employment terms in this letter supersede any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether oral or
written. As required by law, this offer is subject to satisfactory proof of your right to work in the United States. This letter will be binding upon your heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of Quest, its successors, and its assigns. 
  
 Please sign and date this letter, and return it to me by November 27th, 2004, if you wish to accept
employment at the Company under the terms described above. If so, we’ll consider you part of the Quest senior management team and hired for employment on these terms. We look forward to your favorable reply and to a productive and enjoyable
work relationship.

 SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are

signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive and may be relied upon by the
Trustee, the Company, and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different
part of such principal amount. 
  
 (f) The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record
date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such
record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
  

 10 

 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction
referred to in Section 512. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether
or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date
previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106. 
  
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration
Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and
to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such
record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
  
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to
all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
  
 SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

in writing at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or

furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: General Counsel.

Section 105. 
  
 SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not
later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In case by reason of the suspension
of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the written approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

  
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
  
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
  

 12

not. 
  
 SECTION 110. Separability Clause. 
  
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent and their
successors and assigns, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 112. Governing Law. 
  
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. 
  
 SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or
at the Maturity or Stated Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, if such payment is made or duly provided
for on the next succeeding Business Day.

 Unless otherwise specifically provided, the certificate or
opinion of any independent firm of public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under the provisions of this Indenture. The Company shall furnish
to the Trustee upon its request a copy of any such certificate or opinion.

 SECTION 302. Denominations. 
  
 The Securities of each series shall be in registered form without coupons
and shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301. 
  

 17 

 SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of
the Board of Directors, any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President, under its corporate seal reproduced or impressed thereon and attested by its Treasurer, any Associate Treasurer, any
Assistant Treasurer, its Controller, its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company
shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto, 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 9.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 
  
 (i) if the form of such Securities has been established by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto as permitted by Section 301, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, 
  
 (ii) 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 binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity; and 
  
 (iii) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with.

  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if
all Securities are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Company Order otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security if such Company Order is
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security to be issued. 
  
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  

 18 

 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and
sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 Minor typographical and other minor errors in the text of any Security shall not affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. 
  
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one
or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the initially issued Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form required in Section 202. 
  
 The Depositary must, at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation. 
  
 The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine
that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 
  
 SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. 
  
 Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of any series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
  
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for 
  

 19 

 cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 
  
 SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, of the same original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented
thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities, of the same series of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall cease
to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice
or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and 
  

 20 

 make available for delivery, individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Security or Securities representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
  
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that individual Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no
longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and make available
for delivery, individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
  
 The Depositary may surrender a Global Security in exchange in whole or in
part for individual Securities on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, without service charge: 
  
 (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new
individual Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and 
  
 (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a
denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
  
 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall make available for delivery
such individual Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  

 21 

 No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section
304, 906 or 1108 not involving any transfer. 
  
 Neither the
Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section: (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day
of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article Eleven and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of notice of redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer
of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof that is not redeemed. 
  
 SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
  
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue and series, of like tenor and principal amount, having the same
Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Interest Rate as such mutilated Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
issuing Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same
Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Interest Rate as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company
in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the 
  

 22 

 Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  
 SECTION 307.
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in respect of Securities of such series. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest
Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the related series of Securities. 
  

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its
election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such 
  

 23 

 Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 
  

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of the series in respect of which interest is in default may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed),
if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  
 SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 SECTION 309. Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order. Acquisition by the Company of any Security shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Security unless and until the same is delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

 24 

 SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 SECTION 311. CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 The Company in issuing any series of the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the
Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
  
 SECTION 312. Original Issue Discount 
  
 If any of the Securities is an Original Issue Discount Security, the Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount
(including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended from time to time.

 Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the
Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) with respect to Securities at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount on all the Securities shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article
provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

  
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay 
  
 (A) all overdue interest on
all Securities of that series, 
  
 (B) the
principal of, and premium, if any, on, any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by such Securities, 
  
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates borne by such Securities, and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
  
 (2) all Events of Default
with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal (or a specified portion of the principal) of and interest on Securities of that series which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
  
 No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The Company covenants that if: 
  
 (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or 
  

 28 

 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, on any Security at the Maturity
thereof, 
  
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest, including, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal or premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  
 SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its
creditors: 
  
 (a) the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 (i) to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding, and 
  
 (ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 506; and 
  
 (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with Section 506, and, 
  

 29 

 in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
  
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
  
 SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and
claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this
Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or any premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 607; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such series
of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and 
  
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, its successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

 

 30 

 SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series; 
  
 (2) the Holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 
  
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such
Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

  
 SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest
on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the
consent of such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 509.
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or
any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and

  

 31 

 in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 507, every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 512. Control by Holders. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
  
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture, involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities not joining in the action; and 
  
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
  
 SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 
  
 (1) in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any Security of such series; or 
  

 32 

 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that court
may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any such party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment
in any suit instituted by the Company or by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or any suit instituted by any
Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security. 
  
 ARTICLE SIX 
  
 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 The duties, responsibilities, protections, privileges, and immunities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust
Indenture Act, particularly Sections 315 and 316 thereof, unless expressly excluded as provided in this Article Six. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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. 
  

 33 

 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 602. Notice of Defaults. 
  
 If a default occurs hereunder with respect to the Securities, the Trustee within 90 days of such default shall give the Holders of Securities notice of
such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to such Securities, no such notice to Holders shall be
given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof; and provided, further, that the Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders, of any default with respect to the Securities (except any default of the character specified in
Section 501(1) and (2)), if Responsible Officers of the Trustee consider that withholding of the notice is in the interest of the Holders of such Securities. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
  

Subject to the provisions of Section 601: 
  
 (1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

  
 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
  
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and may
at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same; 
  
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (5) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further 
  

 34 

 inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
  
 (6) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and
the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 
  
 (7) the Trustee’s rights, privileges, benefits, immunities and protections from liability and its rights to compensation and indemnification in
connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees and its services as Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or any other role assumed by the Trustee hereunder
or to which it has been appointed with respect to the Securities issued hereunder. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or
removal and final payment of the Securities; 
  
 (8) the Trustee
is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture; 
  
 (9) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default hereunder except (i) during any period it is serving as Paying
Agent for the Securities, any Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1) or (2), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer shall have received written notification or obtained “actual knowledge.” The term
“actual knowledge” as used herein shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Responsible Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto; and 
  
 (10) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture (other
than the payment of debt service on the Securities from moneys furnished to it pursuant hereto), whether at the request of the Holders or any other Person, pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise, unless it shall have been offered reasonable
indemnity or security against the fees, advances, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in connection with the exercise of any such rights or powers. 
  
 (11) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by any officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts and (ii) 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 believes the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it. 
  

 35 

 (12) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
  
 (13) 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. 
  
 (14) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals
and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
  
 SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  
 SECTION 605. May Hold Securities. 
  
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust. 
  
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as agreed with the Company herein or otherwise. 
  
 SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
  
 The Company agrees: 
  
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to
time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  

 36 

 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents or attorneys),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of it or of its agents or attorneys; and 
  
 (3) to indemnify, defend and to hold the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part or on the part of its agents or attorneys, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection therewith or with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

  
 The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to
all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an
Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
  
 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
  
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall
either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 (or, in the case of the initial Trustee hereunder, have a combined capital and surplus meeting the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and be a wholly owned subsidiary of a Person that would otherwise meet the eligibility
requirements of this Section), and (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the 
  

 37 

 requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
  
 The Trustee may resign as trustee at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may at the expense of the Company petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 The Trustee may be removed as trustee hereunder at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 calendar days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee
being removed may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 If at any time: 
  
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months; or 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or 
  
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security 
  

 38 

 for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
  
 If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611.
If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611,
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed
by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
  
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  
 SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 (a) In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor
Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
  
 (b) In case of
the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and 
  

 39 

 each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain
such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
  
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in the paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
  
 SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business. 
  
 Any corporation into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
  

 40 

 SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
  
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 
  
 SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

  
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents
with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State, Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed. 
  
 If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
  
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
  

 41 

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the
Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case
at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
  
 No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
  
 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of
authentication in the following form: 
  
 This is one of the
Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be dissolved and liquidated.

establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 or 301; or 
  
 (5) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all Securities or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be

 (6) to add any additional Events of Default; or 
  
 (7) to secure the Securities; or 
  
 (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a

pursuant to the requirements of Section 611(b); or 
  
 (9) to cure
any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as the Company and

 (10) to conform any provision hereof to the requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act or otherwise as necessary to comply with applicable law; or 
  
 (11) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. 
  
 SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
  
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture, by Act 
  

 46 

 of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the
Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the

 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of
interest payable on, any Outstanding Security, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Holders of Securities of any other series. 
  
 It shall not be
necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
  
 After a supplemental indenture under this Section 902 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture.

 SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that all conditions precedent have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which

Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 
  
 ARTICLE TEN 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
  

 48 

 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company shall pay interest on overdue
amounts at the rate set forth in the first paragraph of the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue interest at the same rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which interest on overdue interest
shall accrue from the date such amounts became overdue. 
  
 SECTION 1002.
Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 So long as any
Securities remain outstanding, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and each other Place of Payment for any series, an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, and an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company initially
appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purposes. The Company will give written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of
Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  
 SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
  
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to
any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum
sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, and any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and, if applicable, will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to
act. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying
Agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee), if applicable, the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
  

 49 

 The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent, (2) give the
Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent;
and, upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  
 Any money or U.S. Government Obligation deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company
Request (unless otherwise required to mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of
the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before May 1 of each year
ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
  

 50 

 SECTION 1005. Existence. 
  

Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal
existence. 
  
 SECTION 1006. Limitation on Liens on Stock of Principal
Subsidiaries. 
  
 (a) So long as Securities are outstanding,
the Company will not, and it will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, at any time directly or indirectly create, assume, incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any voting securities of Principal Subsidiaries, or the
voting securities of a Subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, the voting securities of any of the Principal Subsidiaries (whether such voting securities are now owned or hereafter acquired) without making effective provision whereby the
Securities of each series then Outstanding (and, if the Company so elects, any other Indebtedness of the Company that is not subordinate to the Securities and with respect to which the governing instruments require, or pursuant to which the Company
is otherwise obligated or required, to provide such security), other than series which by their terms are not entitled to the benefits of this Section, shall be equally and ratably secured with, or prior to, such secured Indebtedness; it being
understood that in such event the Company may also secure any other such Indebtedness of the Company or such Principal Subsidiary entitled thereto, subject to any applicable priority of payment. For purposes of this Section 1006 only,
“Indebtedness”, in addition to those items specified in Section 101 hereof, shall include any obligation of, or any such obligation guaranteed by, any Person for the payment of amounts due under a swap agreement or other similar instrument
or agreement or foreign currency hedge exchange or similar instrument or agreement. 
  
 (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section shall not, however, apply to any Indebtedness secured by any one or more of the following: 
  
 (1) Liens on voting securities existing at the time of the direct or indirect acquisition of such securities by the Company
or a Subsidiary; 
  
 (2) Liens securing Indebtedness of a
Subsidiary owing to the Company or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary; and 
  
 (3) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), inclusive; provided, however, that the principal
amount of such Indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1006, the Company and any one more Subsidiaries may without
securing any of the Securities issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by any Lien which would otherwise be subject to the 
  

 51 

 foregoing restrictions in an aggregate amount which, together with all other Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries issued, assumed or guaranteed under the provisions of this subsection (c) (not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under Section 1006(b)) does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as calculated by reference to
the balance sheet contained in the Company’s most recent quarterly financial statements. 
  
 SECTION 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, covenant or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(5) for the benefit of the Holders or in Section 1006
with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 
  
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 1101. Company’s Right of Redemption. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of a particular series, and notwithstanding any additional
redemption rights that may be so specified, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities of any series after their date of issuance in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Section 1101 and
the other provisions of this Article Eleven. The redemption price for any Security so redeemed shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the date fixed
for redemption. 
  
 SECTION 1102. Applicability of Article. 
  
 Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, as permitted by any
form of Security issued pursuant to this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such form of Security and this Article Eleven; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision
of this Article, the provision of such form of Security shall govern. Except as otherwise set forth in the form of Security for such series, each Security shall be subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $1,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000. 
  

 52 

 SECTION 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
  
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction.

  
 SECTION 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

  
 If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed (unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security, provided that the unredeemed portion of the
principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such
redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities and specified tenor not previously called for
redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
  
 The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect
to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
  
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any
Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. 
  

 53 

 SECTION 1105. Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities. 
  
 All notices of redemption shall include the CUSIP number and state: 
  
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (2)
the Redemption Price; 
  
 (3) if less than all the Outstanding
Securities consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the
Outstanding Securities consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed; 
  
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest
thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and 
  
 (5)
the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
  
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice In any case, a
failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
  
 SECTION 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price.

  
 Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall
be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
  
 SECTION 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption having been given pursuant to Section 1105, the Securities to be so redeemed shall, on the Redemption
Date, become due and payable at the 
  

 54 

 Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear or accrue any interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable
to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
  

SECTION 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
  
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company
or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and
in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit,
Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to
occur.

apply to any Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant

after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

or instrument for borrowed money to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 SECTION 1205. Deposited
Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of
this Section and Section 1206, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1204 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, 
  

 57 

 either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against
any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1204 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Anything in
this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1204 with respect to any Securities which, in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities. 
  
 SECTION 1206. Reinstatement. 
  
 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 1205 with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1202 or 1203
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1205 with
respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by

the Securities Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.

transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
