 “Vice President,” when used with respect to the
Company or the Trustee, means any vice president, whether or not designated by a number or a word or words added before or after the title “vice president”. 
 Section 1.02. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive upon request an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all conditions precedent, if any, in the Indenture to such action have been complied with. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate, if to be given by an officer of the Company, or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirement set forth in this Indenture.

 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

 (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto; 
  

 8 

 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the
statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual,
such individual has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 Section 1.03. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.
Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.04. Acts of Holders;
Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where
it is hereby expressly 

  

 9 

 
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an
“Act” of the Holders 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 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. 
 (b) The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee reasonably deems
sufficient. 
 (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose
of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company
prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most
recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be
entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. 
 (d) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the
same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether
or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (i) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Trustee at: The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 700 South Flower Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90017, Attention: Corporate Unit or 
  

 10 

 (ii) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Treasurer. 
 Notice to the Trustee shall be effective only upon actual
receipt by the Trustee. 
 Section 1.06. 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 such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note
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 approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Whenever under this Indenture the Trustee is required to provide any notice by mail, in all cases the Trustee may alternatively provide notice by
overnight courier or by telefacsimile, with confirmation of transmission. 
 So long as the Notes are registered in the name of the
Depository Trust Company, any notices to be provided to the Holders may be provided by electronic means in accordance with the Depository Trust Company’s operational procedures. 
  

 11 

 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by
unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the
originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or
directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail (pdf) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of
such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such
instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the
Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required hereunder to be a part of and govern
this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture
as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 Section 1.08. 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, and all Article and Section references are to Articles and Sections, respectively, of this Indenture unless otherwise expressly
stated. 
 Section 1.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 1.10. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this
Indenture or in the Notes 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 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors hereunder and the Holders of Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  

 12 

 Section 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 Section 1.13. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND
THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE
NOTES 
 Section 2.01. Title and Terms. The aggregate Principal Amount of Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $[—], except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to
Section 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 5.06 and 10.06. The Notes may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders thereof, for increases in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and issuance of additional Notes; provided that such additional Notes
must be part of the same issue, and fungible with, the initially issued Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any additional Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with, and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or
otherwise as the Notes then outstanding, except for issue date, issue price and, if applicable, first interest payment date. No additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to
the Notes. 
 The [—] Notes shall be designated as “[—]%
Senior Notes due [—]” and the [—] Notes shall be designated as “[—]% Senior Notes due [—].” The [—] Notes and the [—] Notes shall each represent a separate series of Notes. 
 The Notes of each series shall rank equally and pari passu with the Notes of each other series and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
debt of the Company. 
 The Principal Amount and accrued interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company in The
City of New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided that, except in the case of a Global Note, the Company will pay interest (i) by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register or (ii) by wire transfer in 

  

 13 

 
immediately available funds to a Holder with an aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of any series in excess of $2.0 million, to the place and account
designated in writing at least 15 days prior to the interest payment date by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Note Register. 
 If the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the
period from and after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. If an interest payment date for the [—] Notes or the [—] Notes falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the interest payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. Interest on the Notes will be paid to but excluding the
relevant interest payment date. 
 The Notes shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund. 
 Section 2.02. Forms of Notes. The [—] Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A hereto and the [—] Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required
or permitted by this Indenture, and with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depositary therefor, the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the forms of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B shall constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of permanent Global Notes in registered form. The aggregate Principal Amount of the Global Notes may from
time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided. 
 Section 2.03. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

 14 

					
	Dated:                         	 	THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee
			
		 	By	 	  

		 		 	Authorized Signatory

 Section 2.04. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount. 
 Section 2.05. Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents.

 Notes 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 Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as
a Global Note or as Physical Notes. The Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
 Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized 

  

 15 

 
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 If
temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary
Notes at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal Amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

 Section 2.07. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) 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 designated pursuant to Section 3.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose
of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or
agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 3.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor. 
 At the option of the Holder and subject to the other
provisions of this Section 2.07 and Sections 2.10 and 2.11, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  

 16 

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

 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06 not involving any transfer. 
 If the Company elects to redeem a series of Notes, it shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note of such
series during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day the Company mails the notice of redemption for such series of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day such notice of redemption is mailed or
(ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Note of such series after a notice of redemption has been given to Holders except, where such notice provides that such Note is to be redeemed only in part, the Company shall be required to exchange
or register a transfer of the portion thereof not to be redeemed. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall (i) have any duty
to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder. 

As used in this Section, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Note. 
 Section 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note 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 Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 17 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and
payable or has been called for redemption in full, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon
the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.08, the Company may require payment by the Holder 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 Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note 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 Note 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 Notes. 
 Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such is registered as the owner of such for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note 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 2.10. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The
Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture
with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder. 
  

 18 

 (b) Transfers of the Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the
Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the
provisions of Section 2.11. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Notes if (A) such Depositary has notified the Company (or the Company becomes
aware) that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as
such Depositary and, in either such case, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification or of the Company becoming aware of such event; or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default with respect to such Global Note and the Outstanding Notes shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 and the Trustee requests that Physical Notes be issued. 
 Investors may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are Agent Members in such systems, or
indirectly through organizations that are Agent Members in such systems. If interests in the Global Notes are held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear and Clearstream shall hold such interests in the Global Notes through the Depositary on
behalf of their Agent Members. 
 (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Note
to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Note Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal Amount of the Global Note in an amount
equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 
 (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Note shall be deemed
to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note, an
equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations and the same tenor. 
 (e) The Holder of the Global Notes may
grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
  

 19 

 Section 2.11. Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which
the Company has not issued and sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire
any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures
Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions” and “Customer Handbook” of
Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in any Global Note held by Agent Members through Euroclear and Clearstream. 
 Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience
to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes, 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. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 COVENANTS

 Section 3.01. Payments. The Company shall duly and punctually make all payments in respect of the Notes in accordance
with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. 
 Any payments made or due pursuant to this Indenture shall be considered paid on the
applicable date due if by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. Payment of the principal and interest on the Notes shall be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which shall initially be a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of 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. All
notices to the Trustee shall be delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in Los Angeles, California. 
 The Company may also
from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) where the Notes 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 the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The
Company shall 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 3.03. Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any payment in respect of any of the Notes,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to make the payment so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of
any payment in respect of any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company shall 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 3.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act

any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such. 
 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

after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes a written notice
specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action. 
 Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in 6.01(d) and
6.01(e)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes 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 plus accrued and unpaid
interest shall become immediately due and payable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of outstanding Notes will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. 
 (b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) such rescission and annulment will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.12. 
 Section 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if a default is made in the payment
of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest at the Stated Maturity or in the payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Note, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the
applicable series of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes and, in 

  

 32 

 
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 an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest on the applicable series of Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the applicable series of Notes
or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. 
 Section 6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the
Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.05. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 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 to Holders, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the applicable series of Notes for the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid 

  

 33 

 
interest or the Redemption Price 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 Notes. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note
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 (other than in the case of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b)), unless: 
 (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default; 
 (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series
of outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to
be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (v) no direction, in the opinion of the
Trustee, 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 applicable series of outstanding Notes; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 
 Section 6.07. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest or the Redemption Price in respect of the applicable series of Notes held by such Holder, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Notes or any Redemption Date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder.

  

 34 

 Section 6.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 2.08, 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 shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee
or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.11. Control by Holders. Subject to Section 7.03(e), the Holders of a
majority in Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such series of Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by the Holders of such series of Notes; provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the applicable series of outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes of that series waive any past
Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default: 
 (i) described in Sections 6.01(a) or 6.01(b); or 
  

 35 

 (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note 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 6.13. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the applicable series of Notes, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.13
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Principal Amount of the applicable series of
outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Note or the Redemption Price. 
 Section 6.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

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

 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 
 (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit
the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  

 38

 (l) the permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

  

 39 

 Section 7.04. Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes,
except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or
priority of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 7.05. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and,
subject to Section 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 7.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 
 (i) to pay to
the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.07(iii) shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether assessed by the Company, by any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder 
  

 40 

 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of
the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
except that held in trust to pay principal on the Notes. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or
an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under U.S.
Code, Title 11 or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for
any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances
beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which
delays, restricts or prohibits the providing of services contemplated by this Indenture. 
 Section 7.08. 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 7.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has, or whose parent banking company has, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such
Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7. 
  

 41 

 Section 7.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 7.11. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Trustee for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any
time by Act of the Holders of majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
or by any such Holder, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent,
or 
 (iv) 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 Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 6.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of the applicable series of Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  

 42 

 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in
the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the
manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder 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 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. 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. 
 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 7. 
 Section 7.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; 

  

 43 

 
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 
 Section 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), 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). 
 ARTICLE 8

 (ii) at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 
 excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar; provided, however, that no such list need be furnished

 Section 8.04. Reports by Company. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Holders, such information,
documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act. In the event the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, it shall file with the Trustee upon request the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). It is expressly understood that materials transmitted electronically by the Company to the Trustee shall be deemed filed with the Trustee for purposes of this
Section 8.04.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF [—] NOTE] 
 Cisco Systems, Inc. 
 [—]% Senior Notes due [—] 
 Interest 

The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February [—], 2009, to but excluding the next interest payment date. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in
arrears on each interest payment date, commencing August [—], 2009, to the person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding Record Date. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 If an interest payment for the Notes falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. 
 Redemption of Notes at the Option of the Company 
 The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the Principal Amount to be redeemed and
(b) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on such Notes discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the
applicable Treasury Rate plus [—] basis points (the “Redemption Price”) upon delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture. The Redemption Price will be
paid in cash. 
 Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the
Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. 
  

 A-4 

 Paying Agent 
 Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Company may change any paying agent without notice to the Holders. 
 Indenture; Defined Terms 
 This Note
is one of the [—]% Senior Notes due [—] (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as of February [—], 2009, between
the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”). 
 Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as
defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture
Act”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note
are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 
 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 
 The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register
the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. 
 Amendment; Supplement; Waiver 
 Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default
or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal Amount of all series of Outstanding Notes (including the Notes) under the Indenture that
are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect
or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. 
  

 A-5 

 Defaults and Remedies 
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Company) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes
and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, shall by written notice, require the Company to repay immediately the entire Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due
immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the
Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
 Authentication 
 This Note shall not
be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 
 Abbreviations and Defined Terms

(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

 (c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made
pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant
to this Section 8.7, or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, within such time period shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. 
 (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of
such Notes together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.

of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date, (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7, (iii) that the entire principal amount of each Note is offered to be prepaid without any Make-Whole Amount,
(iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date, (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of such notice have been

 (a) Notice and Offer. In the event any Debt Prepayment Application is to be used to make an offer (a “Transfer Prepayment Offer”) to prepay Notes pursuant to Section 10.10 of this
Agreement (a “Debt Prepayment Transfer”), the Company will give written notice of such Debt Prepayment Transfer to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable
offer to prepay, at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer on a date specified in such notice (the
“Transfer Prepayment Date”) that is not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be so prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date. If the Transfer
Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the 45th day after the date of such notice. 
 (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Transfer Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 20 days after the date of such
written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within 20 days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Transfer Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of
a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Transfer Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of
the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date determined as of the date of such prepayment.

	 	“9.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 

 Each of the
Company and the Guarantor covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding: 
  

	 	9.1	Compliance with Law. 

 Without
limiting Section 10.4, each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without
limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or
to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

	 	9.2	Insurance. 

 Each of the Company and
the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of
such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same
or a similar business and similarly situated. The foregoing insurance requirements may be met through a captive insurance company; provided that the coverage limits of insurance policies written by the captive insurance company may not exceed
$100,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) in the aggregate at any time and the premiums 

  

 Exhibit A-9 

 
charged by the captive insurance company in any fiscal year may not exceed two times its statutory surplus as of the end of such fiscal year. The Company and
the Guarantor shall, upon request, furnish to any holder a certificate setting forth in summary form the nature and extent of the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 9.2. 
  

	 	9.3	Maintenance of Properties.  

 Each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than
ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Guarantor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the
maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

	 	9.4	Payment of Taxes and Claims.  

 Each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, file all Material tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such
returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all
claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Guarantor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves
therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  

	 	9.5	Limited Liability Company Existence, etc.  

 Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its limited liability company existence and the Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.10, the Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the entity existence of each of its other Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Guarantor
or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such entity existence, right or
franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 Exhibit A-10 

	 	9.6	Books and Records.  

 Each of
the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory
jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
  

	 	9.7	Ranking of Obligations.  

 The Company will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement and the Notes will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company.
The Guarantor will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured
unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor.

 Neither the Company nor the Guarantor will, and neither will permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any transaction or Material group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or

the Guarantor’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an
Affiliate. 
  

 Exhibit A-11 

	 	10.2.	Merger, Consolidation, etc.

any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company or the Guarantor is not such corporation or limited liability company, (i) such corporation or limited liability company shall have executed and delivered to each
holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement (in the case of a successor to the Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) and the
Notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) such corporation or limited liability company shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent

 (b) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. 
 No such conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor
shall have the effect of releasing the Company or the Guarantor or any successor corporation or limited liability company that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under this
Agreement (in the case of the Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) or the Notes.

 Neither the
Company nor the Guarantor will, and neither will permit any Subsidiary to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be
substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on October 1, 2008 as described in Item 1 of Part I of the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 or any business reasonably related thereto, provided that, (a) in the case of any Subsidiary acquired in a Permitted Acquisition, such acquired Subsidiary (and its permitted successors) may also
engage in the type of business activities in which such acquired Subsidiary was engaged immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition, or any business reasonably related thereto, and (b) in the case of a Person holding assets of an Acquired
Business following a Permitted Acquisition, such Person may also engage in the type of business activities in which such Acquired Business was engaged immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition, or any business reasonably related thereto.

Guarantor will not at any time permit the outstanding principal amount of Priority Debt to exceed 15% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, provided, however, that no Lien created pursuant to
Section 10.5(b) shall secure any Primary Senior Debt unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such Lien and no Subsidiary shall guaranty or otherwise become obligated in respect of any Primary Senior Debt

this Agreement and the Notes, in each case when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to mandatory or optional prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, all in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and
thereof; it being the intent of the Guarantor that the guaranty set forth in this Section 12A (the “Unconditional Guaranty”) shall be a continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. The obligations set forth
in this Section 12A.1 are collectively referred to herein as the “Guarantied Obligations.” Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except the full and final performance and payment of the
Guarantied Obligations.

 In the event the Company fails to pay any Guarantied Obligation in the manner provided in the Notes or in this Agreement, the Guarantor shall cause forthwith to be paid the moneys in respect of which such failure has occurred in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall exist, all of the Guarantied Obligations shall, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in this Agreement for
the acceleration of the Notes, forthwith become due and payable without notice, regardless of whether the acceleration of the Notes shall be stayed, enjoined, delayed or otherwise prevented. 
  

	 	12A.3.	Primary Obligation. 

 The
Unconditional Guaranty is a primary, original and immediate obligation of the Guarantor and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in full force and effect until the full and final payment of
the Guarantied Obligations.

 Each holder of Notes shall, individually or collectively, have the right to seek recourse against the Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein for the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, this Section 12A) in respect of the Notes. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of such holder’s right to proceed
in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless such holder has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

  

 Exhibit A-22 

 
no action or proceeding by any holder of Notes against the Company under any document or instrument evidencing obligations of the Company to such holder of
Notes shall serve to diminish the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 12A), except to the extent that such holder of Notes finally and unconditionally shall have realized payment by such
action or proceeding. 
  

	 	12A.12.	Separate Action; Other Enforcement Rights.

protect and enforce the Unconditional Guaranty by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether in execution or aid of any power granted herein (including, without limitation, in this Section 12A) or for the
recovery of judgment for the obligations guarantied hereby or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law. 
  

	 	12A.13.	Delay or Omission; No Waiver. 

 No
course of dealing on the part of any holder of Notes and no delay or failure on the part of any such Person to exercise any right hereunder (including, without limitation, this Section 12A) shall impair such right or operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice such Person’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Every right and remedy given by the Unconditional Guaranty or by law to any holder of Notes may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient
by such Person. 
  

	 	12A.14.	Cumulative Remedies. 

 No remedy
under this Agreement or the Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes. 
  

	 	12A.15.	Survival. 

 So long as the
Guarantied Obligations shall not have been fully paid, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 12A shall survive the transfer and payment of any Note and the payment in full of all the Notes.”

 (b) All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Annex I as being owned by the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid
and nonassessable and are owned by the Guarantor or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Annex I). 
  

 Exhibit B-1 

 (c) Each Subsidiary identified in Annex I is a corporation or other legal entity
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the
corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact. 
 (d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the Existing
Note Purchase Agreement, the agreements and other restrictions listed on Annex I and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any
other similar distributions of profits to the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary. 
  

	 	4.	Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc. 

 The execution and delivery by the Company of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes did not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase
or credit agreement, lease, articles of organization, operating agreement, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to
the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any
Domestic Subsidiary or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Subsidiary. 
  

	 	5.	Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. 

 The
Guarantor has delivered to each Noteholder a copy of the annual financial statements of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 (the “Guarantor Financial Statements”). Such financial
statements (including the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations
and cash flows for the annual period ending September 30, 2008 and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period involved except as 

  

 Exhibit B-2 

 
set forth in the notes thereto. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements
or otherwise disclosed to the Noteholders in connection with this Amendment Agreement. 
  

	 	6.	Governmental Authorizations, etc. 

 No consent,
approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority was or is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes or
is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of this Amendment Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty). 
  

	 	7.	Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. 

 Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority
or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

	 	8.	Taxes. 

 The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have
filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction (or extensions therefor have been timely obtained), and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon
them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not
individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Guarantor or a Subsidiary, as the case may be,
has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Federal income tax liabilities of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined by the
Internal Revenue Service (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. 
  

	 	9.	Title to Property; Leases. 

 The Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the Guarantor Financial Statements or purported to have been acquired by the
Guarantor or any Subsidiary after September 30, 2008 (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case, with respect to such properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as such term is
defined in 

  

 Exhibit B-3 

 
the Existing Note Purchase Agreement), free and clear of Liens prohibited by the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. All leases that individually or in the
aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects. 
  

	 	10.	Licenses, Permits, etc. 

 (a) The
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are
Material, without known conflict with the rights of others. 
 (b) To the best knowledge of the Company and the Guarantor, no
product of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other
Person. 
 (c) To the best knowledge of the Company and the Guarantor, there is no Material violation by any Person of any
right of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 
  

	 	11.	Compliance with ERISA. 

 (a) The
Guarantor and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA),
and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights,
properties or assets of the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such
liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. 
 (b) The present value of the aggregate
benefit liabilities under each of the Plans covered by Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the
actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $1,000,000 in
the case of any single such Plan and by more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Plans. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present
value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA. 
  

 Exhibit B-4 

 (c) The Guarantor and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and
are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material. 
 (d) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal year
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries is not Material.

 (e) All Foreign Pension Plans have been established, operated, administered and maintained in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders applicable thereto except for such failures to comply that, in the aggregate for all such failures, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other amounts required
by applicable Foreign Pension Plan documents or applicable laws have been paid or accrued as required, except for premiums, contributions and amounts that, in the aggregate for all such obligations, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
  

	 	12.	Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. 

 (a) Except as described therein, Annex II sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of November 14, 2008 (including a description of the obligors and
obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the
Indebtedness of the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or such
Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to
become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
 (b) Except as
disclosed in Annex II, neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be
subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.7 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. 
  

	 	13.	Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc. 

 Neither
the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or

amended. 
  

	 	15.	Environmental Matters. 

 (a) Neither
the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has received any notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties
now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (b) Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public
or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, except, in
each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Neither the Guarantor nor
any Subsidiary has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws in each case in any manner
that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
