(the "Indenture") dated as of                         , between TARGET CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company"),
having its principal place of business at 777 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 and
                                      
             (hereinafter called the "Trustee"),
having its Corporate Trust Office at                         . 

  RECITALS OF THE COMPANY         

          The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its debentures, notes, bonds and
other evidences of indebtedness (herein called the "Debt Securities"). 

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

          NOW,
THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 

          For
and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Debt Securities of any series created and issued on or after the date hereof by the Holders thereof, it is mutually
covenanted and agreed, for the benefit of all Holders of such Debt Securities or of any such series, as follows: 

  ARTICLE ONE
  
  Definitions and Other Provisions
  of General Application         

          Section 101.  Definitions.  

          For
all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: 

     (1)  the
terms defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to them in this Article, and include the plural as well as the singular; 

     (2)  all
other terms used herein which are defined in the Trust Indenture Act or by Commission rule or regulation under the Trust Indenture Act, either directly or by
reference therein, as in force at the date as of which this instrument was executed, except as provided in Section 905, have the meanings assigned to them therein; 

     (3)  all
accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP; and 

     (4)  the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or
other subdivision. 

          Certain
terms, used principally in Article Six, are defined in that Article. 

          "Act"
when used with respect to any Holder has the meaning specified in Section 104. 

          "Affiliate"
of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.
For the purposes of this definition, "control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether
through the ownership of voting securities by contract or otherwise, and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 

          "Attributable
Debt" means, at any date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined, the sum of attributable debt relating to capital leases and operating leases under which
any Person is liable. The amount of attributable debt relating to capital leases is the balance sheet liability amount (capital lease
obligations and current portion thereof) in respect of such capital leases as determined under GAAP. The amount of attributable debt relating to operating leases is the amount of future minimum lease
payments under such operating leases required to be disclosed by GAAP, less any executory costs, discounted using the methodology used to calculate the present value of operating lease payments in the
Company's most recent Annual Report to Shareholders that reflects such a calculation. "Executory costs" mean amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes,
assessments, water rates and similar charges. In the case of any operating lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall include the lesser of
(a) the rental payments to be paid under such lease until the first date (after the date of such determination) upon which it may be so terminated plus the then applicable penalty upon such
termination, or (b) the rental payments required to be paid during the remaining term of such lease (assuming such termination provision is not exercised). 

          "Authenticating
Agent" means any Person authorized by the Trustee to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities. 

          "Authorized
Newspaper" means a newspaper in an official language of the country of publication or in the English language customarily published on each Business Day, whether or not
published on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, and of general circulation in the place in connection with which the term is used or in the financial community of such place. Where successive
publications are required to be made in Authorized Newspapers, the successive publications may be made in the same or in different newspapers in the same city meeting the foregoing requirements and in
each case on any Business Day. 

          "Bearer
Security" means any Debt Security established pursuant to Section 201 which is payable to bearer including, without limitation, unless the context otherwise indicates,
a Debt Security in global bearer form. 

2

          "Board of Directors" means either the board of directors of the Company, or the executive or any other committee of that board duly authorized to act in respect hereof. 

          "Board
Resolution" means a copy of a resolution certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in
full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to the Trustee. Where any provision of this Indenture
refers to action to be taken pursuant to a Board Resolution (including the establishment of any series of the Debt Securities and the forms and terms thereof), such action may be taken by any
committee of the Board of the Company or any officer or employee of the Company authorized to take such action by a Board Resolution. 

          "Business
Day", when used with respect to any Place of Payment, means any day which is not a Saturday or Sunday and which is not a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions or trust companies in that Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 

          "Clearstream"
means Clearstream Banking S.A. 

          "Commission"
means the Securities and Exchange Commission, as from time to time constituted, created under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or if at any time after the execution
of this instrument such Commission is not existing and performing the duties now assigned to it under the Trust Indenture Act, then the body performing such duties on such date. 

          "Company"
means the Person named as the "Company" in the first paragraph of this instrument until a successor Person shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of
this Indenture, and thereafter "Company" shall mean such successor Person. 

          "Company
Request" and "Company Order" mean, respectively, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, a written request or order signed in the name of the Company by the Chairman
of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President (any references to a Vice President of the Company herein shall be deemed to include any Vice President of the Company
whether or not designated by a number or word or words added before or after the title "Vice President"), the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Controller, an Assistant Controller, the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or by another officer of the Company duly authorized to sign by a Board Resolution, and delivered to the Trustee. 

          "Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets" means (a) the total amount of assets (less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items) which under GAAP would be included on a
consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after deducting therefrom (i) all liabilities and liability items, including amounts in respect of obligations or
guarantees of obligations under leases, which under GAAP would be included on such balance sheet, except Funded Debt, capital stock and surplus, surplus reserves and provisions for deferred income
taxes, and (ii) all goodwill, trade names,
trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles, which in each case under GAAP would be included on such consolidated balance sheet, less (b) the amount
which would be so included on such consolidated balance sheet for Investments (less applicable reserves) (i) made in Unrestricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) made in corporations while they 

3

Trust Office" means the principal office of the Trustee at which at any particular time its corporate trust business shall be administered, which office at the date of
original execution of this Indenture is located at                         , Attention:      
       , except that, with
respect to presentation of the Debt Securities for payment or registration of transfers or exchanges and the location of the Security Registrar, such term means the office or agency of the Trustee at
which at any particular time its corporate agency business shall be conducted, which at the date of original execution of this Indenture is located at c/o
                                    . 

          The
term "corporation" includes corporations, associations, companies and business trusts. 

          The
term "coupon" means any interest coupon appertaining to a Bearer Security.

Interest" has the meaning specified in Section 307. 

          "Depositary"
means, with respect to the Debt Securities of any series issuable or issued in the form of a Global Security, the Person designated as Depositary by the Company pursuant
to Section 301 until a successor Depositary shall have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter "Depositary" shall mean or include each person who is
then a Depositary hereunder, and if at any time there is more than one such Person, "Depositary" as used with respect to the Debt

Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Debt Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on such record date. 

13

Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon
the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action
taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to
each Holder of Debt Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

          With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may
change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration
Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Debt Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration
Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the

          In
case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to
Holders of Registered Securities when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is to be given by mail, neither the failure to mail
such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered
Securities or the sufficiency of any notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided above. 

          In
case, by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper, or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible or impracticable to make publication of any
notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such method of publication or notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient publication of
such notice. Neither failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice
mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above. 

          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. 

          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that
any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 

          Section 107.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  

          If
any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. 

          Section 108.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  

          The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

          Section 109.  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 110.  Separability Clause.  

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

          Section 111.  Benefits of Indenture.  

          Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities or any coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any
Paying Agent and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

          Section 112.  Governing Law.  

          This
Indenture and the Debt Securities and any coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. 

          Section 113.  Legal Holidays.  

          In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity of any Debt Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities or any coupons) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or at
the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may
be. 

          Section 114.  Exemption from Individual Liability.  

          No
recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, or of any Debt Security or any coupon, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the
Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Indenture and the
obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations of the Company, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators,
stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness 

16

hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Debt Securities or any coupon or implied therefrom; and that any and
all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Debt
Securities or any coupon or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of such Debt
Securities. 

          Section 115.  Counterparts.  

          This
Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same Indenture. 

  ARTICLE TWO
  
  Debt Security Forms         

          Section 201.  Forms Generally.  

          The
Registered Securities, if any, and the Bearer Securities and related coupons, if any, of each series shall be in substantially the form (including temporary or permanent global
form) as shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have 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 as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Debt Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their signatures on the
Debt Securities or coupons. If the form of Debt Securities of any series or coupons (including any such Global Security) is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an
appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order
contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities or coupons. 

          Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Debt Securities in bearer form other than Debt Securities in temporary or permanent global form shall have coupons
attached. 

          The
definitive Debt Securities and coupons, if any, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by
the officers executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced by the execution of such Debt Securities and coupons.

          Section 202.  Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.

          Section 203.  Debt Securities in Global Form.  

          If
Debt Securities of a series are issuable in whole or in part in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide
that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby may from
time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby
shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303
or Section 304. 

          The
provisions of the last sentence of Section 303(g) shall apply to any Debt Securities represented by a Debt Security in global form if such Debt Security was never issued
and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Debt Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with respect to the reduction in the principal amount of Debt Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last
sentence of Section 303(g). 

          Global
Securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in permanent form or, in the case of Bearer Securities, either temporary or permanent form.

the benefit of Debt Securities of all series, or any other covenant or warranty included for the benefit of Debt Securities of the series in lieu of any covenant or warranty set forth herein for the
benefit of Debt Securities of all series, or any provision that any covenant or warranty set forth herein for the benefit of Debt Securities of all series shall not be for the benefit of Debt
Securities of such series, or any combination of such covenants, warranties or provisions and the applicability, if any, of the provisions of Section 1012 to such covenants and warranties;

Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 

          Debt
Securities of any particular series may be issued at various times, with different dates on which the principal or any installment of principal is payable, with different rates
of interest, if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on which 

21

such interest may be payable and with different Redemption or Repayment Dates and may be denominated in different currencies or payable in different currencies. 

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

          Section 302.  Denominations.  

          Debt
Securities of each series shall be issuable in such form and denominations as shall be specified in the form of Debt Security for such series approved or established pursuant to
Section 201 or in the
Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 301. In the absence of any specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, if any,
shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Bearer Securities of such series, if any, shall be issuable in the denominations of $5,000. 

          Section 303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.  

          (a)  The
Debt Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or a Vice President, and
by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers or its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries under its corporate seal reproduced thereon. The signature of any of these officers on the Debt
Securities may be manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Company. 

          Debt
Securities and coupons 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 Debt Securities or coupons of any series or did not hold such offices at the date
of such Debt Securities or coupons. 

          (b)  At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, Debt Securities of any series may be executed by the Company and delivered
to the Trustee for authentication, and, except as otherwise provided in this Article Three, shall thereupon be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon Company Order, without any further action
by the Company; provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, a Bearer Security may be delivered only outside the United States
and, except in the case of a temporary Global Security, only if the Company or its agent shall have received the certification required pursuant to Sections 304(b)(iii) and (iv), unless such
certification shall have been provided earlier pursuant to section 304(b)(v) hereof, and only if the Company has no reason to know that such certification is false. 

          To
the extent authorized in or pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officers' Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, such written
Company Order may be given by any one officer or employee of the Company, may be electronically transmitted, and may provide instructions as to registration of holders, principal amounts, rates of 

22

interest, maturity dates and other matters contemplated by such Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture to be so instructed in respect thereof. Before authorizing and
delivering the first Debt Securities of any series (and upon request of the Trustee thereafter), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) the certificates called for under Sections 201 and
301 hereof and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel described in the next sentence. 

          In
authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to any such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, prior to the initial authentication of such Debt Securities, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

     (i)   a
Board Resolution relating thereto and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to such resolution certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company; 

     (ii)  an
executed supplemental indenture, if any, relating thereto; 

     (iii)  an
Officers' Certificate setting forth the form and terms of the Debt Securities of such series and coupons, if any, pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and stating
that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of such Debt Securities have been complied with; and 

     (iv)  an
Opinion of Counsel stating 

     (A)  that
the form of such Debt Securities and coupons, if any, has been established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by
Section 201 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

     (B)  that
the terms of such Debt Securities and coupons, if any, have been established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by a supplemental indenture as permitted
by Section 301 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

     (C)  that
such Debt Securities and coupons, if any, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and the application of general principles of equity and except further as enforcement
thereof may be limited by (i) requirements that a claim with respect to any Debt Securities denominated other than in Dollars (or a Foreign Currency or currency unit judgment in respect of such
claim) be converted into Dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or (ii) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of
payments in Foreign Currencies or currency units or payments outside the United States. 

23

          (c)  If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Debt Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more
Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global
Securities in permanent or temporary form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of
such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary
and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions. 

          (d)  The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 303 if the issuance of such Debt Securities
will adversely affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

          (e)  If
all the Debt Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of
each Debt Security, but such Opinion of Counsel, with appropriate modifications, may instead be delivered at or prior to the time of the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series. 

          (f)   Each
Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by
Section 301. 

          (g)  No
Debt Security or coupon attached thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears
on such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer
Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security or portion thereof shall have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309
together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Debt Security or portion thereof has never been
issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. 

          (h)  Each
Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it
serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

24

          Section 304.  Temporary Debt Securities.  

          (a)  Pending
the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of documents required by Sections 301 and 303,
together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
denomination, substantially of the tenor and terms of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or
without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their signatures on
such Debt Securities. In the case of Debt Securities of any series issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Debt Securities may be in global form, representing all or any part of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of such series. 

          (b)  Unless
otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301: 

     (i)   Except
in the case of temporary Debt Securities in global form, if temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt
Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the related temporary Debt Securities shall be exchangeable for
such definitive Debt Securities upon surrender of the temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series (accompanied, if applicable, by all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default appertaining
thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms
and of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a Registered Security; and  provided, further, that a Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in
Section 305. 

     (ii)  If
Debt Securities of any series are issued in temporary global form, any such temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 301, be delivered to the Depositary for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Debt Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct). 

     (iii)  Without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global Security (the
"Global Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver definitive Debt Securities to the Trustee or the agent appointed by the Company pursuant to Section 301 to effect the exchange of the
temporary Global Security for definitive Debt Securities (the "Global Exchange Agent"), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by
the Company. On or after the Global Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Global Exchange Agent, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in
part, for definitive Debt Securities without charge and the Trustee or the Global Exchange Agent, if authorized by the Trustee pursuant to 

25

Section 614, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series
of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged. Upon any exchange of a part of such temporary Global Security for definitive
Debt
Securities, the portion of the principal amount and any interest thereon so exchanged shall be endorsed by the Global Exchange Agent on a schedule to such temporary Global Security, whereupon the
principal amount and interest payable with respect to such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. The definitive Debt Securities to be
delivered in exchange for any such temporary Global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, global registered form or global bearer form, or any combination thereof, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however,
that, in the case of the exchange of the temporary Global Security for definitive Bearer Securities (including a definitive Global Bearer Security), upon such presentation by the Depositary, such
temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate
signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture; and  provided, further, that definitive Bearer Securities (including a definitive Global Bearer Security) shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a
temporary Global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303. 

     (iv)  The
interest of a beneficial owner of Debt Securities of a series in a temporary Global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Debt Securities of the same
series and of like tenor and terms following the Global Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on such account holder's
behalf and, in the case of the exchange of the temporary Global Security for definitive Bearer Securities (including a definitive Global Bearer Security), the account holder delivers to Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 and, if applicable, A-2 to this Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior
to the Global Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Global Exchange Agent, any authenticating agent appointed for such series
of Debt Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global
Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Debt Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person does not take delivery of such
definitive Debt Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream. Definitive Debt Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary Global Security
shall be delivered only outside the United States. 

     (v)  Until
exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of the same series and of like tenor and terms authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that interest payable on a temporary Global Security on an Interest
Payment Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date only if there has been delivered by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Global Exchange Agent a 

26

certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture dated no earlier than the first Interest Payment Date, for credit without further interest on or after such
Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear
or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 and, if applicable, A-2 to this Indenture dated no earlier than the first Interest
Payment Date. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided prior to the Global Exchange Date shall be returned to the Global Exchange Agent which, upon
expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date, shall repay such interest to the Company in accordance with Section 1003. 

          Section 305.  Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  

          The
Company shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 305 and
Section 1002, with respect to the Debt Securities of each series which are Registered Securities, a register (herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. Pursuant to Section 301, the
Company shall appoint, with respect to Debt Securities of each series which are Registered Securities, a "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering such Debt Securities and transfers and
exchanges of such Debt Securities as herein provided. 

          Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained 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 Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or
denominations, of like tenor and terms and aggregate principal amount. 

          At
the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized form and denomination, of like
tenor and terms and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Bearer Securities may not be delivered in exchange for Registered
Securities. 

          At
the option of the Holder, Registered Securities or Bearer Securities of any series may be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 with respect to a Bearer Security in global form) of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable
to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the
Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if
there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any 

27

Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided,
however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an
office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered
Security of the same series and like tenor and terms after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be. 

          Whenever
any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities which the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. 

          If
at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series
or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303(h), the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election pursuant to Section 301(9) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

          The
Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be
represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

          If
specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Depositary for such series of Debt Securities may surrender a Global
Security for such series of Debt Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the
Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge to any Holder, 

     (a)  to
each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denominations as
requested by 

28

 

such
person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and 

     (b)  to
such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

          In
any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities (a) in definitive
registered form in authorized denominations, if the Debt Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities, (b) in definitive bearer form in authorized denominations, with coupons
attached, if the Debt Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Securities, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof, if the
Debt Securities of such series are issuable in either form; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Global Security unless the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A-1 and, if applicable, A-2 hereto; and provided further that delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only
outside the United States; and provided further that no definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company has reason to know that any such
certificate is false. 

          Upon
the exchange of a Global Security for Debt Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a
Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. The Trustee
shall deliver Bearer Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section to the persons, and in such authorized denominations, as the Depositary for such Global Security,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Global Security unless the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a
certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 and, if applicable, A-2 hereto; and provided further that
delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States; and provided further that no definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the
Company has reason to know that any such certificate is false. 

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

          Every
Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security 

29

Registrar and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. 

          No
charge to any Holder shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, other than exchanges expressly provided in this Indenture to be
made at the Company's own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. 

          The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities of any particular series to be redeemed for a period of fifteen days
preceding the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Registered Securities are outstanding and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Debt
Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Registered Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so
selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and terms of that series, provided
that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption. 

          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the exchange of Bearer Securities into Registered Securities shall be subject to applicable laws and regulations in effect at the
time of exchange; neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Security Registrar shall exchange any Bearer Securities into Registered Securities if it has received an Opinion of Counsel that as a result
of such exchanges the
Company would suffer adverse consequences under the United States Federal income tax laws and regulations then in effect and the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Order directing the
Trustee not to make such exchanges thereafter unless and until the Trustee receives a subsequent Company Order to the contrary. The Company shall deliver copies of such Company Orders to the Security
Registrar. 

          Section 306.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities.  

          If
(i) any mutilated Debt Security or a Bearer Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to a Paying Agent outside the United States designated by the
Company, or, in the case of any Registered Security, to the Trustee, or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt
Security or coupon, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company and the Trustee that such Debt Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for any such mutilated Debt Security or Bearer Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it or to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons
not destroyed, lost or stolen) or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of like tenor and terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or to the Debt Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains; provided, however, that 

30

any such new Bearer Security will be delivered only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 305. 

          In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing
a new Debt Security, pay such Debt Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States; and provided,
further, that, with respect to any such coupons, interest represented thereby (but not any additional amounts payable as provided in Section 1006), shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 

          Upon
the issuance of any new Debt Security or coupons under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and printing expenses) connected therewith. 

          Every
new Debt Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, or in exchange for a Bearer
Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Debt Security and coupons, if any, shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, 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 Debt Securities or coupons. 

          Section 307.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.  

          Interest
on any Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered
in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of
business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will
not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. At the option of the Company, payment of interest on any Registered Security may be made by check in the currency designated for such payment pursuant
to the terms of such Registered Security mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall 

31

appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account in such currency designated by such Person in writing not later than ten days prior to the date of such payment. 

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

     (1)  The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money and/or Government Obligations the payments of principal and interest on which when due (and without reinvestment) will provide money in such amounts
as will (together with any money irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, without investment) be equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money and/or Government Obligations when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date. Unless the Trustee is acting as the Security Registrar, promptly after such Special Record Date, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with a list, or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee with respect thereto, of the names and addresses of, and principal amounts of Registered Securities of such
series held by, the Holders appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as
it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at
the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall
be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered 

32

Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

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

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

          Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 1002, the Holder of any coupon appertaining to a Bearer Security shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
coupon upon presentation and surrender of such coupon on or after the Interest Payment Date of such coupon at an office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002. 

          Section 308.  Persons Deemed Owners.  

          Prior
to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307)
interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

          The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer
Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or coupon 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. 

          None
of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

          Section 309.  Cancellation.  

          Unless
otherwise provided with respect to a series of Debt Securities, all Debt Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment, transfer, exchange or credit 

33

against any sinking fund payment pursuant to this Indenture shall, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and
all Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities cancelled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Debt Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and certification of their destruction delivered to the
Company unless by a Company Order the Company shall direct that the cancelled Debt Securities or coupons be returned to it. 

          Section 310.  Computation of Interest.  

          Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Debt Securities of any series, interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

          Section 311.  Certification by a Person Entitled to Delivery of a Bearer
Security.  

          Whenever
any provision of this Indenture or a Debt Security contemplates that certification be given by a Person entitled to delivery of a Bearer Security, such certification shall
be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 and, if applicable, A-2 hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company and consented to by the
Trustee, whose consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. 

          Section 312.  Judgments.  

          The
Company agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law and except as may otherwise be specified as contemplated in Section 301, (a) the
obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of any series and any appurtenant coupons in a Foreign Currency, composite currency
or Dollars (the "Designated Currency") as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 is of the essence, and judgments in respect of such Debt Securities shall be given in the Designated Currency;
(b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated Currency of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities and any appurtenant coupons shall,
notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the Holder receiving
such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) in the country of issue of the Designated
Currency in the case of Foreign Currency or Dollars or in the international banking community in the case of a composite currency on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Holder
receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall pay such additional
amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and,
until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.

  ARTICLE FOUR
  
  Satisfaction and Discharge         

          Section 401.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  

          This
Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Debt Securities herein expressly
provided for and rights to receive payments of principal and interest thereon and any right to receive additional amounts, as provided in Section 1006) and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when 

     (1)  either 

     (A)  all
Debt Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered and all coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities
surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange, surrender of which is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Debt Securities
and coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities called for
redemption or surrendered for repayment and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as appropriate, surrender of which has been waived as provided in Section 1106 or 1303
and (iv) Debt Securities and coupons for whose payment money and/or Government Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee cancelled or for cancellation; or 

     (B)  all
such Debt Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

     (i)   have
become due and payable, or 

     (ii)  will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

     (iii)  are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name,
and at the expense, of the Company, 

and
the Company, in the case of (B)(i), (B)(ii) or (B)(iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money
and/or Government Obligations the payments of principal and interest on which when due (and without reinvestment) will provide money in such amounts as 

35

will (together with any money irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, without investment) be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities and coupons of
such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and any mandatory sinking fund, repayment or analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due dates therefor to the date of such deposit
(in the case of Debt Securities and coupons which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, if any, and all Repayment Dates (in the case of Debt Securities repayable
at the option of the Holders thereof); provided, however, that in the event a petition for relief under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law is filed with respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit, the obligations of the Company under the Indenture with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series shall not be deemed terminated or discharged, and in such event the Trustee shall be required to return the deposited money and Government Obligations then held by the
Trustee to the Company; 

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

     (3)  the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if money or Government Obligations shall have been
deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 

          Section 402.  Application of Trust Money and Government Obligations.  

          (a)  Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 401, 403 or 1501 shall be held in trust and such money and the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations shall be applied by it, in accordance with the provisions
of the Debt Securities, any coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or Government Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. 

          (b)  The
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in
Section 403 or 1501 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in
excess of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. 

36

          (c)  The Trustee shall deliver to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 403 or 1501,
provided that the Company in substitution therefor simultaneously delivers to the Trustee, money or other Government Obligations which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, would then be sufficient to satisfy the Company's payment obligations in respect of the Debt Securities in the
manner contemplated by Section 403 or 1501. 

          Section 403.  Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of Debt Securities of any
Series.  

          If
this Section 403 is specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to Debt Securities of any series, then, notwithstanding Section 401,
(i) the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Debt Securities of any such series and related coupons; (ii) the provisions of
this Indenture as it relates to such Outstanding Debt Securities and related coupons shall no longer be in effect (except as to (A) the rights of Holders of Debt Securities to receive, from the
trust fund described in subparagraph (1) below, payment of (x) the principal of (and premium, if any) and any installment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Debt
Securities and related coupons on the Stated Maturity of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest or (y) any mandatory sinking fund,
repayment or analogous payments applicable to the Debt Securities of that series on that day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Debt
Securities, (B) the Company's obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002, 1003 and 1006, and (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including those under Section 607 hereof); and (iii) the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon Company Order, execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such indebtedness, when 

     (1)  either

     (A)  with
respect to all Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and related coupons, with reference to this Section 403, the Company has deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee irrevocably, as trust funds in trust, money and/or Government Obligations the payments of principal and interest on which when due (and without reinvestment) will
provide money in such amounts as will (together with any money irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, without investment) be sufficient to pay and discharge (i) the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest or, if such series may be redeemed by the Company prior to the
Stated Maturity thereof and the Company shall have given irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to effect such redemption, at the date fixed for such redemption pursuant to Article Eleven, and
(ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to Debt Securities of such series on the date on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture and of such Debt Securities; or 

37

     (B)  the Company has properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to the
Debt Securities of such series; 

     (2)  the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable with respect to the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and related coupons; 

     (3)  such
deposit will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or
by which it is bound; 

     (4)  no
Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1), (2),
(3), (6) or (7) with respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(6)
or Section 501(7) or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 501(6) or Section 501(7) shall have occurred
and be continuing on the 91st day after such date; provided, however, that should that condition fail to be satisfied on or before such 91st day, the Trustee shall promptly, upon satisfactory receipt
of evidence of such failure, return such deposit to the Company; 

     (5)  if
the Debt Securities of that series are then listed on any domestic or foreign securities exchange, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause such Debt Securities to be delisted; and 

     (6)  the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of all Outstanding Debt Securities and related coupons have been complied with. 

          Any
deposits with the Trustee referred to in Section 403(1)(A) above shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of an escrow or trust agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in
accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the applicable escrow or trust agreement shall provide therefor and the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 

          Upon
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 403 with respect to all the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such
series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company;  provided that the Company shall not be
discharged from any payment obligations in
respect of Debt Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company
under applicable law. 

38

          Notwithstanding the cessation, termination and discharge of all obligations, covenants and agreements (except as provided above in this Section 403) of the Company under this
Indenture with respect to any series of Debt Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the
last paragraph of Section 1003, shall survive with respect to such series of Debt Securities. 

  ARTICLE FIVE
  
  Remedies         

          Section 501.  Events of Default.  

          "Event
of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Debt Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body): 

     (1)  default
in the payment of any interest upon any Debt Security of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days; or 

     (2)  default

     (3)  default
in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Debt Security of such series; or 

     (4)  default
in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose
performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Debt Securities of a series other than
such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days 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 principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, or 

     (5)  a
default under any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary (including a default with respect to Debt Securities of any series other than
that series) or under any Mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any
Subsidiary (including this Indenture), whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness in an outstanding principal amount in
excess of $20 million becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without 

39

such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, or such Indebtedness having been discharged, within a period of 10 days after there shall have 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 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled or cause such Indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or 

     (6)  the
entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as
properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law,
or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or 

     (7)  the
commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law
or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or
the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making
by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the 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; or 

     (8)  any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of such series specified as contemplated by Section 301. 

          Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  

          If
an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of and all accrued but unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, by
a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.
Upon 

40

 

payment
of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of the Debt Securities of such series shall terminate. 

          At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

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

     (A)  all
overdue installments of interest on all Debt Securities of such series, 

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

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

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

     and 

     (2)  all
Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Debt Securities of such series
which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 

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

          Section 503.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.  

          The
Company covenants that if: 

     (1)  default
is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days, or 

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

41

the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities and any related coupons, the amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities and
coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and,
upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

          If
the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities and
coupons and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities and coupons, wherever situated. 

          If
an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

          Section 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  

          In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings, or any voluntary
or involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted, relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or any related
coupons or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Debt Securities shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, 

     (1)  to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series
and any appurtenant coupons and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

     (2)  to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

42

and
any receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such 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 607. 

          Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities or any coupons 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 505.  Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Debt Securities or
Coupons.  

          All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Debt Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debt
Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name, as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable
benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

          Section 506.  Application of Money Collected.  

          Any
money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of
such money on account of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Debt Securities or any coupons, or both, as the case may be, 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 607; 

          SECOND:    To
the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities and any coupons, 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 Debt Securities and any coupons for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, respectively. The Holders of each series of Debt Securities denominated in Euro, any other composite currency or a Foreign Currency and any matured coupons relating thereto shall be
entitled to receive a ratable portion of the amount determined by the Exchange Rate Agent by converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of Debt Securities and matured but unpaid
interest on such series of Debt Securities in the currency in which such series of Debt Securities is denominated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate as of the date of declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity of the Debt Securities; and 

          THIRD:      The
balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

43

          Section 507.  Limitation on Suits.  

          No
Holder of any Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

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

     (2)  the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

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

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

     (5)  no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series; 

it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

          Section 508.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest.  

          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Debt Security or payment of such coupon on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt
Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

          Section 509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  

          If
the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceedings 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 the 

44

Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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 510.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  

          Except
as otherwise provided in Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

          Section 511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  

          No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Debt Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

          Section 512.  Control by Holders of Debt Securities.  

          The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series,  provided, that 

     (1)  such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 

     (2)  subject
to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining in any
such direction; and 

     (3)  the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

          Section 513.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  

          The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of any such
series and 

45

any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 

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

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

          Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

          Section 514.  Undertaking for Costs.  

          All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security or coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having a due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Company or the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series,
or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security or the payment of any coupons on or after the
respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be). 

          Section 515.  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 whenever 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 benefits 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. 

46

  ARTICLE SIX
  
  The Trustee         

          Section 601.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  

          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee's duties and responsibilities under this Indenture shall be governed by the Trust Indenture Act. In case an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent
man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

          Section 602.  Notice of Default.  

          If
a default occurs hereunder with respect to Debt Securities of any series the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series notice of such default
as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(4) with respect to Debt Securities of such series no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series. 

          Section 603.  Certain Rights of Trustee.  

          Except
as otherwise provided in Section 601: 

          (a)  the
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any signature, resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,

Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

          (c)  whenever
in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting
any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate; 

47

          (d)  the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

          (e)  the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders
of Debt Securities of such series or any related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

          (f)   the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry

premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, other than any such books or records containing information as to the affairs of the customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;  provided that the Trustee may examine such books and records relating to customers to the extent that such books and records contain information as to
any payments made to such customers in their capacity as Holders of Debt Securities; provided, further, that the Trustee shall treat all information regarding the Company which it receives pursuant to
this Indenture and its duties hereunder as confidential and shall not disclose such information unless necessary in order to fulfill its duties under this Indenture or the Trust Indenture Act; and 

          (g)  the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; no Exchange Rate Agent, Global Exchange Agent, Depositary or

          The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Debt Securities and coupons, and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or
such agent. 

          Section 606.  Money Held in Trust.  

          Money
held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying

          Section 607.  Compensation and Reimbursement.  

          The
Company agrees 

     (1)  to
pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder which shall have from time to time been separately agreed
to by the Company and the Trustee 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); 

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

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

          The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture. The Company shall be entitled to
participate in, and to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense of such claim, with counsel satisfactory to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense thereof), and after
notice from the Company to the Trustee of the Company's election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to the Trustee under this Indenture for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Trustee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The Company shall not be obligated under any settlement agreement relating to
any claim under this Indenture to which it has not agreed in writing. 

49

          As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Debt Securities and any coupons upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Debt Securities or any coupons. 

          The
provisions of this Section 607 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of the Indenture. 

          Section 608.  Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.  

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

          Section 609.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.  

          There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$5,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority; provided, however, that if Section 310(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Trust Indenture Act at any time permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of any other jurisdiction to
serve as trustee of an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Section 609 shall be automatically amended to permit a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
any such other jurisdiction to serve as Trustee hereunder. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article. 

          Section 610.  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 shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 611. 

          (b)  The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series 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 for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

50

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

          (d)  If
at any time: 

     (1)  the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months, or 

     (2)  the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 with respect to any series of Debt Securities and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

     (3)  the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Debt Securities or a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises shall have been entered in
respect of the Trustee in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or a
decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Trustee or of its property or affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation,
winding up or liquidation, or 

     (4)  the
Trustee shall commence a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Trustee or its property or affairs, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take
corporate action in furtherance of any such action, 

then,
in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to such series at any time or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

          (e)  If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Debt Securities, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Debt Securities or one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Debt
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the 

51

occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series
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 Debt Security of such series for
at least six months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

          (f)   The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of
such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Debt Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United States. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

          Section 611.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  

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

          (b)  In
the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee upon payment of its charges and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if
the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Debt Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being 

52

understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or
trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on the request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

          (c)  Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

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

          Section 612.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.  

          Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall, with the written approval of the Company, be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the executing or filing of any paper or any further act on the part
of any of the parties hereto. In case any Debt Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, consolidation or sale to
such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debt Securities. In case any Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate
and deliver such Debt Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the
Trustee. If the Trustee's successor by merger, conversion, consolidation or sale shall not have received the written approval of the Company, such successor shall resign within 20 days after
the merger, conversion, consolidation or sale and such vacancy in the office of the Trustee shall be filled in the manner specified in Section 610. 

          Section 613.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.  

          If
and when the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 

53

 

          Section 614.  Authenticating Agent.  

          The
Trustee may upon Company request appoint one or more Authenticating Agents (including, without limitation, the Company or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to one or more
series of Debt Securities which shall be authorized on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Debt Securities of such series in connection with the issue, delivery, registration of transfer,
exchange, partial redemption or repayment of such Debt Securities. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication of Debt Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company and, in the case of Registered Securities, must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States or of any State or the District of Columbia, having a combined capital surplus of at least $1,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authorities, and in the case of Bearer Securities and an authenticating agent who is not organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any
State thereof or the District of Columbia, is subject to supervision or examination by the appropriate foreign authorities. 

          Any
corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent. 

          An
authenticating agent may at any time resign with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and
to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent herein. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section. 

          The
Trustee agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for such payment, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 

          The
provisions of Sections 104, 111, 306, 309, 603, 604 and 605 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent. 

          Pursuant
to each appointment made under this Section, the Debt Securities of each series covered by such appointment may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form: 

54

          This is one of the Debt Securities, of the series designated herein, described in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

    [                                  
   ]

    By

          (b)  A

Company shall not permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company, unless: 

     (1)  in

  Supplemental Indentures         

          Section 901.  Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders.  

          Without
the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: 

     (1)  to
evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, and the assumption by such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Debt
Securities contained; or 

     (2)  to
add to the covenants of the Company, for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of
less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or any coupons, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge
any property to or with the Trustee, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or 

     (3)  to
add any additional Events of Default (and if such Events of Default are to be applicable to less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such Events of
Default are expressly being included solely to be applicable to such series); or 

58

     (4)  to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer Securities may be registrable as to principal, to change or eliminate
any restrictions on the payment of principal of (or premium, if any, on) Registered Securities or of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any interest on Bearer Securities, to permit Bearer
Securities to be issued in exchange for Registered Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in uncertificated form,  provided any such
action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material
respect; or 

     (5)  to
change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination
(a) shall become effective only when there is no Debt Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such
provisions or (b) shall not apply to any Debt Security Outstanding; or 

     (6)  to
establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or 

     (7)  to
secure the Debt Securities pursuant to the requirements of Section 1008 or otherwise; or 

     (8)  to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series and to add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements
of Section 611(b); or 

     (9)  to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with any provision of this Indenture,  provided such other provisions shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons in any
material respect; or 

     (10) to
add to or change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable in accordance with any amendments to the Trust Indenture Act,
provided such action shall not adversely affect the interest of Holders of Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect. 

          Section 902.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.  

          With
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of
said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of 

59

this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of such Debt Securities of such series and any related coupons; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security or coupon affected thereby, 

     (1)  change
the Stated Maturity of the principal or any installment of principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Debt Security, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption or repayment thereof, or change any obligation of the Company to
pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 1006 (except as contemplated by Section 801(1) and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment, or the coin or currency
in which any Debt Security or the interest thereon or any coupon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or,
in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be), or 

     (2)  reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental
indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in
this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 1404 for quorum or voting, or 

     (3)  modify
any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1012, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby; provided,
however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this
Section and Section 1012, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 611(b) and 901(8), or 

     (4)  adversely
affect the right to repayment, if any, of Debt Securities of any series at the option of the Holders thereof. 

          A
supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more
particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the
rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series. 

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

60

          Section 903.  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  

          In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

          Section 904.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  

          Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a
part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any coupons appertaining thereto shall be bound
thereby. 

          Section 905.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.  

          Every
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

          Section 906.  Reference in Debt Securities to Supplemental Indentures.  

          Debt
Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debt Securities of any series and any appurtenant coupons
so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
in exchange for Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and any appurtenant coupons. 

  ARTICLE TEN
  
  Covenants         

          Section 1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.  

          The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities and any appurtenant coupons that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities, any appurtenant coupons and this Indenture. Any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity,
other than additional amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1006 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Debt Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the coupon or coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. 

61

          Section 1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

          The
Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or agency where Debt Securities (but, except as otherwise provided below, unless such
Place of Payment is located outside the United States, not Bearer Securities or coupons) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Debt Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities and this Indenture may be served. If Debt Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the Company will maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where
Debt Securities of such series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Debt Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 1006); provided, however, that if the Debt Securities of such series are listed on a stock exchange located outside the United States and
such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent in any required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Debt Securities of such series
are listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices or demands may be made or served at
                        , and the Company hereby
appoints                  its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 1006) at the place specified for the purpose pursuant to Section 301(5). 

          No
payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any
address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, payment of principal
of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts payable in respect thereof) on any Bearer Security denominated in Dollars may be made at an office or agency of, and designated by, the
Company located in the United States if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or additional amounts in Dollars at all offices outside the United States
maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions and the Trustee receives an Opinion
of Counsel that such payment within the United States is legal. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, at the option of the
Holder of any Bearer Security or related coupon, payment may be made by check in the currency designated for such payment pursuant to the terms of such Bearer Security presented or mailed to an
address outside the United States or by transfer to an account in such currency maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States. 

          The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of such Place of Payment) where the Debt Securities of one or more series and
any related coupons (subject to the preceding paragraph) may be presented or surrendered for any or all 

62

such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation and any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

          Section 1003.  Money for Debt Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.  

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

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

          The
Company will cause each Paying Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will 

     (1)  hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Debt Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

     (2)  give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series or any appurtenant coupons) in the making of
any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debt Securities of such series; and 

     (3)  at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such
Paying Agent. 

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

63

 

          Any
principal and interest received on the Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company,
in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of any series or any money on deposit with the Trustee or any Paying Agent representing amounts
deducted from the Redemption Price or Repayment Price with respect to unmatured coupons not presented upon redemption or exercise of the Holder's option for repayment pursuant to Section 1106
or 1303 and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debt Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money (including the principal and interest received on Government Obligations deposited with the
Trustee), and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before
being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, and each Place of Payment or mailed to each such Holder, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days
from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

          Section 1004.  Corporate Existence.  

          Subject
to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders. 

          Section 1005.  Maintenance of Properties.  

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

          Section 1006.  Payment of Additional Amounts.  

          If
the Debt Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Debt Security of any series or any coupon appertaining
thereto 

64

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

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

          Section 1007.  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.  

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

          Section 1008.  Restriction on the Creation of Secured Funded Debt.  

          (a)  The
Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee, incur or create any Secured Funded Debt unless immediately
thereafter the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Funded Debt of the Company and its 

65

Restricted Subsidiaries (exclusive of any Secured Funded Debt permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback transactions (as defined in Section 1009) does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 

          (b)  Compliance
with the requirements of Section 1008(a) shall be determined without regard to (i) Secured Funded Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing
to the Company or a Wholly-owned
Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) Secured Funded Debt resulting from the Mortgage of property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States, or any State thereof, or any
department, agency or instrumentality of the United States or any State thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the
provisions of any contract or statute, (iii) Secured Funded Debt resulting from Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or Indebtedness of, any corporation existing at the time such
corporation becomes a Subsidiary, (iv) subject to Section 801, Secured Funded Debt resulting from Mortgages on property, shares of stock or Indebtedness existing at the time of
acquisition thereof (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or construction cost thereof or to secure any indebtedness
incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 120 days after, the acquisition of such property or shares or Indebtedness or the completion of any such construction for the purpose of financing
all or any part of the purchase price or construction cost thereof, (v) Secured Funded Debt resulting from Mortgages incurred or assumed in connection with an issuance of revenue bonds the
interest on which is exempt from Federal income tax pursuant to section 103(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any predecessor or successor provision thereof), or
(vi) any extension, renewal or refunding (or successive extensions, renewals or refundings), in whole or in part (but without increase in amount), of any Secured Funded Debt (and of any
Mortgage securing the same) permitted by the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 1008 or of any Secured Funded Debt (and of any Mortgage securing the same) outstanding at
             of those Subsidiaries which will constitute Restricted Subsidiaries upon the execution and delivery of this Indenture as originally executed or of any
Secured Funded Debt (and of any Mortgage securing the same) of any corporation outstanding at the time such corporation became a Restricted Subsidiary,  provided that the Mortgage securing such extended,
renewed or refunded Secured Funded Debt is limited to the same property (plus improvements thereon)
that secured the Secured Funded Debt so extended, renewed or refunded immediately prior thereto. 

          (c)  Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs of this Section, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may issue, assume, guarantee, incur or create Secured Funded
Debt not permitted by such paragraphs if the Company shall first make effective provision whereby the Debt Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness or any
obligations of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Debt Securities, including guarantees of Indebtedness or obligations of others)
shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Funded Debt, so long as such Secured Funded Debt shall be so secured. If the Company shall hereafter make provision to secure the
Debt Securities equally and ratably with (or prior to) any other Indebtedness or obligations pursuant to this paragraph (c), then (i) the Company will promptly deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that this paragraph (c) has been complied with and that any instruments executed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the
performance of this paragraph (c) comply with the requirements hereof, and (ii) the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement 

66

supplemental hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities as so secured. 

          Section 1009.  Restriction on Sale and Lease-Back
Transactions.  

          The
Company will not itself, and it will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not
including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to which any such lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for a period, including
renewals, in excess of three years of any Operating Property which has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than 120 days after the acquisition thereof or the completion of construction
and commencement of full operation thereof, by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender or
investor on the security of such Operating Property (herein referred to as a "sale and leaseback transaction") unless either: 

     (1)  the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could create Secured Funded Debt pursuant to Section 1008 on the Operating Property to be leased back in an amount
equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, or 

     (2)  the
Company, within 120 days after the sale or transfer shall have been made by the Company or by any such Restricted Subsidiary, applies an amount equal to
the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the Operating Property sold and leased back pursuant to such arrangement or (ii) the fair market value of the Operating Property so
sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangements (as determined by any two of the following: the Chairman of the Board of the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, its President,
any Vice President of the Company, its Treasurer and its Controller) to the retirement of Secured Funded Debt of the Company, provided that the amount
to be applied to the retirement of Secured Funded Debt of the Company shall be reduced by (a) the principal amount of any Debt Securities delivered within 120 days after such sale to the
Trustee for retirement and cancellation, and (b) the principal amount of Secured Funded Debt voluntarily retired by the Company within 120 days after such sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no retirement referred to in this clause (2) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision. 

          Section 1010.  Restriction on Permitting Unrestricted Subsidiaries to become Restricted
Subsidiaries.  

          (a)  The
Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary has outstanding no Secured Funded Debt
and/or Attributable Debt except such Secured Funded Debt and Attributable Debt as the Company could permit it to become liable for immediately after becoming a Restricted Subsidiary under the
provisions of Section 1008. 

          (b)  Promptly
after the adoption of any Board Resolution designating a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary, a 

67

copy thereof shall be filed with the Trustee, together, in the case of the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, with an Officers' Certificate stating that the
provisions of this Section have been complied with in connection with such designation. 

          Section 1011.  Officer's Certificate as to Default.  

          The
Company will furnish to the Trustee not more than 120 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year in each year (beginning with
      ) a brief certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer or treasurer or controller of the Company as to his or her knowledge
of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this
Indenture), and, if he or she has knowledge of any default, specifying each such default of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof. 

          Section 1012.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.  

          The
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1004, 1005 and 1007 to 1010 inclusive with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series if, before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

  ARTICLE ELEVEN
  
  Redemption of Debt Securities         

          Section 1101.  Applicability of Article.  

          Debt
Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

          Section 1102.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  

          The
election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the
Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount and the tenor and terms of the Debt Securities of any series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Debt Securities prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this 

68

Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

          Section 1103.  Selection by Trustee of Debt Securities to be Redeemed.  

          Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Debt Securities of any series, if less than all the Debt Securities of any series with like tenor and terms
are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Debt Securities of
such series with like tenor and terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof which is also an authorized denomination) of the principal amount of
Registered Securities or Bearer Securities (if issued in more than one authorized denomination) of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of
such series. 

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

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

          Section 1104.  Notice of Redemption.  

          Notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Debt
Securities to be redeemed. 

          All
notices of redemption shall state: 

     (1)  the
Redemption Date, 

     (2)  the
Redemption Price, 

     (3)  if
less than all Outstanding Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts)
of the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed, 

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

69

     (5)  the Place or Places of Payment where such Debt Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after
the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 

     (6)  that
Bearer Securities may be surrendered for payment only at such place or places which are outside the United States, except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002, 

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

     (8)  the
CUSIP number, if any. 

          A
notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. 

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

          Section 1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price.  

          On
or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money and/or Government Obligations the payments of principal and interest on which when due (and without reinvestment) will provide money on or
prior to the Redemption Date in such amounts as will (together with any money irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, without investment) be sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and
(except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Debt Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date;  provided, however, that deposits
with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made with a Paying Agent or Paying Agents located outside the United States
except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301. 

          Section 1106.  Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date.  

          Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Debt Securities to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons
for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Debt Security for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Debt Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
coupons for such interest (at an office or agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and provided
further, that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be 

70

payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 307. 

          If
any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Bearer Security may be paid after
deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if
there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to the
Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted
without interest thereon; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons
at an office or agency located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. 

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

          Section 1107.  Debt Securities Redeemed in Part.  

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

  ARTICLE TWELVE
  
  Sinking Funds         

          Section 1201.  Applicability of Article.  

          The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Debt Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for Debt Securities of such series. 

          The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment
in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of
any 

71

series, the amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Debt Securities of any
series as provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of such series. 

          Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Debt
Securities.  

          The
Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Debt Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such
series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) may apply as a credit Debt Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
terms of such Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of
any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities as provided for by the terms of such series;  provided that
such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a
result of the delivery or credit of Debt Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed in order to exhaust the
aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Debt Securities for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a
Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of
the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Debt
Securities purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. 

          Section 1203.  Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.  

          Not
less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company
will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 and the basis for any
such credit and, prior to or concurrently with the delivery of such Officers' Certificate, will also deliver to the Trustee any Debt Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee. Not less than 30 days (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in
the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and
1107.

  ARTICLE THIRTEEN
  
  Repayment at the Option of Holders         

          Section 1301.  Applicability of Article.  

          Debt
Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for Debt Securities of such series) in accordance with this Article. 

          Section 1302.  Repayment of Debt Securities.  

          Each
Debt Security which is subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof on a Repayment Date shall be repaid at the applicable Repayment Price
together with interest accrued to such Repayment Date as specified pursuant to Section 301. 

          Section 1303.  Exercise of Option; Notice.  

          Each
Holder desiring to exercise such Holder's option for repayment shall, as conditions to such repayment, surrender the Debt Security to be repaid in whole or in part together with
written notice of the exercise of such option at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to the Repayment Date;  provided, however,
that surrender of Bearer Securities together with written notice of exercise of such option shall be made at an office or agency
located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. Such notice, which shall be irrevocable, shall specify the principal amount of such Debt Security to be repaid,
which shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination for such Debt Security or an integral multiple thereof, and shall identify the Debt Security to be repaid and, in the case of a partial
repayment of the Debt Security, shall specify the denomination or denominations of the Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal
of the Debt Security surrendered which is not to be repaid. 

          If
any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default, such Bearer Security may be paid after
deducting from the Repayment Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if
there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to the
Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Repayment Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted
without interest thereon; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. 

          The
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver without service charge to the Holder of any Registered Security so surrendered a new Registered Security or
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified in the foregoing notice, in an 

73

aggregate principal amount equal to any portion of the principal of the Registered Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid. 

          The
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver without service charge to the Holder of any Bearer Security so surrendered a new Registered Security or
Securities or new Bearer Security or Securities (and all appurtenant unmatured coupons and matured coupons in default) or any combination thereof of the same series of any authorized denomination or
denominations specified in the foregoing notice, in an aggregate principal amount equal to any portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered which is not to be paid;  provided, however,
that the issuance of a Registered Security therefor shall be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including provisions of the
United States Federal income tax laws and regulations in effect at the time of the exchange; neither the Company, the Trustee nor the Security Registrar shall issue Registered Securities for Bearer
Securities if it has received an Opinion of Counsel that as a result of such issuance the Company would suffer adverse consequences under the United States Federal income tax laws then in effect and
the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Order directing the Trustee not to make such issuances thereafter unless and until the Trustee receives a subsequent Company Order to the contrary.
The Company shall deliver copies of such Company Order to the Security Registrar. 

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

          Section 1304.  Election of Repayment by Remarketing Entities.  

          The
Company may elect, with respect to Debt Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity, at any time prior to any
Repayment Date to designate one or more Remarketing Entities to purchase, at a price equal to the Repayment Price, Debt Securities of such series from the Holders thereof who give notice and surrender
their Debt Securities in accordance with Section 1303. 

          Section 1305.  Securities Payable on the Repayment Date.  

          Notice
of exercise of the option of repayment having been given and the Debt Securities so to be repaid having been surrendered as aforesaid, such Debt Securities shall, unless
purchased in accordance with Section 1304, on the Repayment Date become due and payable at the price therein specified and from and after the Repayment Date such Debt Securities shall cease to
bear interest and shall be paid on the Repayment Date, and the coupons for such interest appertaining to Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided above, shall be void, unless
the Company shall default in the payment of such price in which case the Company shall continue to be obligated for the principal amount of such Debt Securities and shall be obligated to pay interest
on such principal amount at the rate borne by such Debt Securities from time to time until payment in full of such principal amount.

reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such
request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the amount
above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in London for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes

          The
Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of
such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Debt Securities of such series, be

such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state
expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum.

          Section 1405.  Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of
Meetings.  

          (a)  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of

in the manner specified in Section 104 or, in the case of Bearer Securities, by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or
banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular 

76

on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof. 

          (b)  The
Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairperson of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by
Holders of Debt Securities as provided
in Section 1402(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairperson. A
permanent chairperson and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series
represented at the meeting. 

          (c)  At
any meeting each Holder of a Debt Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount (or the equivalent in Euro,
any other composite currency or a Foreign Currency) of Debt Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall
be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debt Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairperson of the meeting not to be Outstanding. The chairperson of the meeting shall
have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Debt Security of such series or proxy. 

          (d)  Any
meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1402 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to
time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.

Holders of Debt Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series held or represented by
them. The permanent chairperson of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Debt
Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken
thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1402
and, if applicable, Section 1401. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairperson and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the
Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

INTRODUCTION

The parties desire to establish a stable relationship based on a continuous
improvement process leading toward world class benchmarks in quality, cost,
inventory levels, delivery, technology, and service.

Therefore, Seller and Buyer mutually agree to the following:

1.     TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement begins on June 1, 2000 and will run
       until December 31, 2003 ("Initial Term"); provided, however, that the
       term of this Agreement may be extended pursuant to Section 9 of Exhibit

2.     PURCHASE ORDERS; TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE. Seller will provide Buyer
       products pursuant to purchase orders to be issued by Buyer's business
       units, including its Swedish affiliate. The general terms and conditions
       of sale for products sold by Seller to Buyer hereunder are set forth on
       Exhibit A attached to and made a part of this Agreement. The parties
       expressly agree that none of the terms and conditions of any standard
       purchase preprinted forms used by either Seller or the Buyer in
       effectuating the purchase and sale transactions contemplated by this
       Agreement (including, but not limited to, purchase orders,
       acknowledgements and acceptance forms, invoices, labels and shipping
       documents) which are inconsistent with, or in addition to, those
       contained in this Agreement shall have any force or effect.

3.     PRICING. Pricing shall be as shown in Exhibit B, Attachment 1 (component
       parts) and Attachment 2 (batteries).

4.     INVENTORY. Seller will maintain a finished inventory for each product at
       the level indicated in Exhibit B, Attachments 1 and 2. The level is a
       proportion of the estimated annual usage for the product and will be
       updated each quarter. If inventory drops below the indicated level at any
       time or is totally consumer by Buyer, Seller will promptly replenish
       inventory to the appropriate level as indicated in Exhibit B, Attachments
       1 and 2. Seller will keep

                                       1

       Buyer informed of the inventory level and location of each product. At
       Buyer's discretion, any inventory may be consigned to Buyer's facility.

       prices and in time to meet Buyer's needs.

6.     QUALITY/IMPROVEMENTS. Seller will start of maintain a JIT (just in time)
       program that includes the ability to measure and report on quality
       control and improvement processes. The JIT will include at least:

              -      On time delivery,

              -      Cost reductions,

              -      Benchmarking,

              -      Lead time reduction to meet benchmarks,

              -      Statistical process controls (SPC) in critical process
                     areas, and

              -      Inventory reduction.

       6.1    Seller will start and/or maintain a continuous improvement
       strategy for product quality, cost, delivery, inventory reduction, and
       service.

       6.2    Seller will have in place goals to improve performance for:

              -      QUALITY to reduce Buyer's rejections of products to less
                     than ***** PPM by the end of the initial one-year term of
                     this Agreement. Beginning in the second year of this
                     Agreement, the goal will be less than ***** PPM. Beginning
                     in the third year of this Agreement, the goal will be less
                     than *** PPM. The benchmark performance will be no more
                     than *** PPM line fallout rejections found during Seller's
                     processing without Buyer's inspection being needed.

              -      DELIVERY to be 100% on time (up to three days early and
                     zero days later).

       6.3    Time is of the essence for purposes of this Agreement.

       6.4    Seller will start and/or maintain a quality system or plan that

       therewith to permit Seller to qualify product for sale to Buyer.

       6.6    Seller will meet with Buyer on a regular basis to review programs,
       performance measurements, and barriers to progress. Seller and Buyer will
       mutually agree on taking actions to correct problems and eliminate
       barriers.

       facilitate the purposes of this Agreement. Also, Buyer will inform Seller
       of Buyer's planned production rates for the products to help Seller in
       its planning. Until further notice, the key people who will be
       responsible for routine communications between Seller and Buyer are:

       For Seller:   ******************************************
                     ***********************************************
                     ***************************************

9.     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

       9.1    TREATMENT OF PROPRIETY INFORMATION. Each of WGL and Buyer (each a
       "receiving party") agrees to maintain all proprietary information
       disclosed by the other party to this Agreement (each a "disclosing
       party") in strict secrecy and confidence, and not to disclose such
       proprietary information to any third party, nor make any use of such
       information and technology for its own benefit or gain other than in
       carrying out its efforts under this Agreement. The receiving party agrees
       to have its employees sign agreements, or to have an appropriate
       corporate policy in effect, which requires them to keep confidential any
       proprietary information they learn in their positions at the receiving
       party; these agreements and/or policies shall require them to maintain
       confidentiality of proprietary information disclosed by the disclosing
       party. The receiving party further agrees that no proprietary information
       or materials will be supplied to any other corporation, partnership,
       laboratory, or individuals other than those approved in writing by the
       disclosing party, with the exception of disclosure to the FDA and similar
       regulatory agencies of information relative to obtaining regulatory
       approval.

       9.2    LIMITED RELEASE. The receiving party shall be released from the
       obligations of Section 9.1 to the extent that any of the disclosed
       information: (a) was already part of the public domain at the time of the
       disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) becomes part of the public domain
       through no fault of the receiving party (but only after and only to the
       extent that it is published or otherwise becomes part of the public
       domain); (c) was in the receiving party's possession prior to the
       disclosure by the disclosing party and was not acquired, directly, or
       indirectly, from the disclosing party or from a third party who was
       under a continuing obligation of confidence to the disclosing party; (d)
       is received (after the disclosure by the disclosing party) by the
       receiving party from a third party who did not require the receiving
       party to hold it in confidence and did not acquire it directly or
       indirectly from the disclosing party under a continuing obligation

                                       3
<PAGE>

       of confidence; or (e) is disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to
       judicial  compulsion, provided that the disclosing party is notified
       at the time such judicial action is initiated. In addition,
       notwithstanding Section 9.1, Seller may provide proprietary
       information of Buyer to its subcontractors and vendors without Buyer's
       prior approval provided that WGL first requires may such subcontractor
       or vendor to sign a confidentiality agreement which requires them to
       keep confidential such Buyer information and not to use it except for
       the purpose of performing their obligations to Seller.

       9.3    TERM OF OBLIGATION. The obligation of the receiving party to
       receive and hold information disclosed by the disclosing party in
       confidence, as required by this Section 9, shall terminate eight (8)
       years from the date of disclosure of the information hereunder and
       shall survive  any earlier termination of this Agreement.

       9.4    DISPOSAL UPON TERMINATION. In the event this Agreement is
       terminated, any samples, sketches, or other proprietary material
       provided by the disclosing party to the receiving party shall be
       destroyed or returned to the disclosing party, unless and to the
       extent such materials are necessary to the receiving party to provide
       continuing support.

10.    OTHER PROVISIONS.

       10.1   RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. There is no principal-agent
       relationship between the parties. Neither party will have any
       authority to contract, bind, or act on behalf of the other, and
       neither party will try to do so.

       10.2   SEPARABILITY AND WAIVER. If any part of this Agreement is not
       legally enforceable, only that part will be disregarded and the rest
       will stay in effect. If a party waives a particular term or condition,
       it will be for one time only, it will not change the Agreement, and
       the same term or condition can be enforced again later.

       catastrophe. Buyer shall purchase and maintain insurance covering all

       for the purpose of verifying such lists or inspecting the condition of
       Consignment Products.

       (f)    All public charges, whether in the nature of sales,
       occupational or other taxes or assessment or license fee, which shall
       be levied or assessed against the Consignment Products

       from Seller, it may withdraw the Consignment Products so purchased
       from Seller's consigned stock of the products at Buyer's facility(s).

       Agreement, title to the Consignment Products so withdrawn shall pass
       to Buyer.

6.     OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION.

       (a)    Upon expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever or

       Components which it requires, Buyer shall purchase, or be deemed to
       have purchased from Seller, all of the remaining Consignment Products
       located at a Company facility, which met Buyer's specifications and
       quality standards at the time of receipt, as of the date of expiration
       or termination, at the prices in effect at such time. Payment shall be
       made in accordance with Section 2.2.

       (b)    Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason
       whatsoever or if Buyer changes the model mix of, or discontinues, any
       Batteries or Components which it requires, Buyer agrees to purchase,
       within six (6) months, all Batteries and Components that Seller then
       holds either (i) as finished inventory or (ii) work-in-progress
       ("WIP") up to the maximum amount of inventory that Seller is required
       to maintain under Section 4 of the Agreement (provided, however that,
       for any WIP, Buyer shall only be required to reimburse Seller for the
       cost of any such material that Seller cannot reasonably use for other
       products).

7.     NEW TECHNOLOGY.

       7.1    During the Initial Term of this Agreement and any extension
       thereof, Seller agrees, subject to Section 7.2 and 7.3 below, to
       offer, develop and manufacture for, and to sell to, Buyer new
       Batteries and Components for Buyer's products incorporating any
       technology or intellectual property (collectively, "Technology") for
       such Batteries and Components which Seller now possesses or may
       hereafter develop or acquire, provided that Seller is not otherwise
       restricted by law or contract (due to intellectual property rights
       owned by third parties or designs the development of which were paid
       for in whole or in part by a customer) from selling products
       incorporating such Technology to Buyer ("New Products"). All New
       Products shall be subject to and covered by this Agreement (subject to
       Sections 7.2 and 7.3).

       7.2    With respect to any new Battery for a defibrillator product of
       Buyer (each, a "New Defibrillator Battery"), the parties agree that
       the pricing for any such New Defibrillator Battery shall be set by
       Seller as follows:

                                      12

<PAGE>

              7.2.1  for non-SVO technology, Seller's pricing to Buyer for such
       a New Defibrillator Battery will not exceed ****, which price will be
       reduced by **** ******* ************ in which Seller shall have
       delivered such a New Defibrillator Battery.

              7.2.2  for SVO technology, Seller's pricing to Buyer for such a
       New Defibrillator Battery will not exceed ****, which price will be
       reduced by ********* *********** in which Seller shall have delivered
       such a New Defibrillator Battery.

       7.3    For any new Product developed under this Section 7 for Buyer
       other than a New Defibrillator Battery, the parties agree to negotiate
       pricing for such New Product in good faith.

8.     CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has certain
       concerns regarding the continuity of its supply source for Batteries
       and Components in the event that a change of control occurs with
       respect to Seller. In that regard, Seller agrees as follows:

       8.1    This agreement is binding on Seller's successor and assigns.
