or as provided in a written order of the Company, in each case with such insertions, omission, substitutions and other variations
as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation
and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation
made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed or
of the depository, or to conform to usage.

 

The
Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

 

“This
is one of the Securities of the series designated in accordance with, and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

Dated:

 

[____________________],
as Trustee

 

	 	By:	 	 
	 	 	Authorized Signatory”	 

 

SECTION
2.02. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

 

If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security
shall be valid nevertheless.

 

A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

The
Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company.

 

The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by
the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference
in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same
rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in the form of one
or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities
that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities
of such series to be issued in the form of Global Securities and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the
depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to
such depositary or pursuant to such depositary’s instructions, and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security
may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to the nominee of the depositary or by a nominee of the depositary
to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor depositary or a
nominee of such successor depositary.”

 

Each
depositary designated pursuant to Section 2.01 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it services
as depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act.

SECTION
2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities of a particular series
may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The registrar for a particular series of Securities
shall keep a register of the Securities of that series and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents for each series of Securities. The term “Paying Agent” includes
any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any additional registrar. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

 

The
Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate
the terms of the TIA and implement the terms of this Indenture which relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint
or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company
may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

 

The
Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for each series of Securities unless another Registrar
or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time the Securities of that series are first issued.

 

SECTION
2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree
in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities) and shall notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities)
in making any such payment. While any such failure continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it
as Paying Agent.

 

SECTION
2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Holders, separately by series, and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).
If the Trustee is not the registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date for the
Securities and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, separately by series, relating to such interest payment date or
request, as the case may be.

 

SECTION
2.06. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. When Securities of a series are presented to the registrar or a co-registrar
with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations,
the registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met.
To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
registrar’s or co-registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange,
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 registration, transfer or exchange of Securities other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06 or 9.05
not involving any transfer.

 

The
registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (i) any Security of a particular series
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security of that series being redeemed in part,
or (ii) any Security of a particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
selection of Securities of that series for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the date
of selection.

 

Any
Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of
beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the holder of such
Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected
in a book entry system.

SECTION
2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security
claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
a replacement Security of the same series if the requirements of the Trustee and the Company are met; provided that, if
any such Security has been called for redemption in accordance with the terms thereof, the Trustee may pay the Redemption Price
thereof on the Redemption Date without authenticating or replacing such Security. The Trustee or the Company may, in either case,
require the Holder to provide an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of each of the Trustee and the Company to protect the
Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced or if the Redemption Price
therefor is paid pursuant to this Section. The Company may charge the Holder who has lost a Security for its expenses in replacing
a Security.

 

Every
replacement Security is an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of the same series.

 

SECTION
2.08. Outstanding Securities. The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the Securities of that series
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this
Section as not outstanding.

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If
all principal of and interest on any of the Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, such Securities shall cease
to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

 

Except
as provided in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds such Security.

 

For
each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities that shall be deemed to be outstanding
and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
or waiver, shall be the principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration upon
an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the Company will advise the Trustee of
such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail.

 

SECTION
2.09. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of any
series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall
be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which such Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

 

SECTION
2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay,
the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders
of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

 

SECTION
2.11. Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment
or repurchase. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, repurchase,
redemption, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such Securities (subject to the record retention requirements of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Securities shall be promptly delivered to the Company. The Company
may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

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

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

SECTION
2.13. Defaulted Interest.  If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on any series of Securities, it shall
pay such defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner.
It may elect to pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Securities
on which the interest is due on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount
of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Security. The Company shall fix any such record date and payment date for
such payment. At least 15 days before any such record date, the Company shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states
the record date, payment date, and amount of such interest to be paid.

 

SECTION
2.14. Special Record Dates. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining
the identity of Holders entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date
is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to
consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from
Holders of the principal amount of Securities of that series required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall
have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

 

ARTICLE

B.
REDEMPTION

 

SECTION
3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series pursuant to any optional redemption
provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the intended Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities of that
series to be redeemed.

 

The
Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section and an Officers’ Certificate at least 45 days before the Redemption
Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

 

SECTION
3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities of that series to be redeemed from the outstanding Securities of that series to be redeemed
by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the Securities of that series are listed, or, if the
Securities of that series are not listed on an exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot, which in any case shall be in accordance
with a method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.

 

Except
as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall
be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of the series to be redeemed or any integral multiple
thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called
for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called
for redemption.

 

SECTION
3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall
mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder
appearing in the register.

 

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

 

(1) the
Redemption Date;

 

(2) the
redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of the Securities of the series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if
any, to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Price”);

 

(3) if
any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the
Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
will be issued;

 

(4) the
name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

(5) that
Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

 

(6) that,
unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue
on and after the Redemption Date; and

 

(7) the
CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed.

 

At
the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.
The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security
shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Security.

 

SECTION
3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become
due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid
at the Redemption Price.

 

SECTION
3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company or such
Subsidiary shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on all Securities to be redeemed on
that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money not required for that purpose.

 

SECTION
3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series equal in principal
amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

COVENANTS

 

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities.
The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided
in this Indenture and the Securities. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other
than the Company or an Affiliate, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York time on that date immediately available funds designated for
and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. To the extent lawful, the Company shall pay interest on overdue principal
and overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum borne by the applicable series of Securities.

or Agency.  The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or in [_______________], an office
or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or registrar) where Securities may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and
this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, or [___________], for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

The Company hereby designates the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

 

SECTION 4.03. SEC Reports.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with the SEC copies of the annual reports and of the
information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however,
the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential
treatment by the SEC. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314 (a).

 

SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’
Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company, they would
normally have knowledge of any failure by the Company to comply with all conditions, or default by the Company with respect to
any covenants, under this Indenture, and further stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such failure or default and,
if so, specifying each such failure or default and the nature thereof. For purposes of this Section, such compliance shall be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided for in this Indenture. The certificate need not comply
with Section 10.04.

 

SECTION 4.05. Taxes.  The Company
shall pay prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except as contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

force and effect (i) its corporate existence and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve
any such right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors or management of the Company shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer in the best interests of the Company, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to
the Holders.

SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge,
etc. (a) The Company shall not consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person unless: (i) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition has been made,
is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition has been made, assumes by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee
all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture; and (iii) immediately after such transaction, and giving
effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may merge with another Person or acquire by purchase or otherwise all or any part of the property or assets of any other corporation
or Person in a transaction in which the surviving entity is the Company.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(b) In
connection with any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer or lease contemplated by this Section 5.01, the Company shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers’

supplemental indenture in respect thereof comply with Article V and the TIA and that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

 

SECTION 5.02. Successor Corporation
Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
of all or substantially all the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor corporation formed
by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein. In the event of any such
sale or conveyance, but not any such lease, the Company or any successor corporation which thereafter shall have become such in
the manner described in this Article V shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities and may be dissolved, wound up or liquidated.

  

ARTICLE VI

 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.
An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Securities of any particular series, unless in the establishing Board
Resolutions, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto, it is provided that such series shall not have the benefit
of any such Event of Default, when any of the following occurs:

 

(i) the
Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days;

 

(ii) the
Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity,
upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

 

(iii) the
Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities of that series or this
Indenture and the Default continues for the period and after the notice specified below;

 

(iv) the
Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding, (B) consents to
the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding, (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian
of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

 

(v) a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Company
in an involuntary case or proceeding, (B) appoints a Custodian for the Company or for all or substantially all of the Company’s
property, or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company;

 

and in case of (v) the order or decree remains unstayed and
in effect for 60 days.

 

The term “Bankruptcy Law”
means Title 11 of the U.S. Code or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, Trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

A Default under clause (iii) of this Section
6.01 is not an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities until the Trustee notifies the Company in writing,
or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series notify the Company and the Trustee,
in writing, of the Default, and the Company does not cure the Default within 30 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must
specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or (v) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice
to the Company may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities,
such lesser amount as may be provided for in such Securities) of the Securities of that series plus any accrued interest to the
date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal (or such lesser amount) and accrued interest to the date of
payment shall be due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or (v) of Section 6.01 occurs, all unpaid principal
and accrued interest on the Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

The Holders of a majority of the outstanding
principal amount of the Securities of that series by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences
if (i) all existing Events of Default other than the nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) of or interest on the Securities
of that series which have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (ii) the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Securities, the Trustee may pursue any available
remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that series or
to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that series or this Indenture.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even
if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee
or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon the Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All remedies are cumulative to
the extent permitted by law.

 

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences with respect to that
series, except a Default in the nonpayment of the principal of or interest on any Security of that series (provided, however,
that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may rescind an acceleration
and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) . When a Default or Event of
Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.
The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may 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 it.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may
take any other action which it deems proper which is not inconsistent with any such direction.

 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of Securities of any series may not pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of that series unless:
(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series; (ii) the Holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue
the remedy; (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability,
cost or expense; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and (v) during such 60-day period the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

 

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

 

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To
Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive
payment of principal of or interest, if any, on the Security on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in
the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired
or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of
any series, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal (or such portion of the principal as may be specified as due upon acceleration at that time in the terms of
that series of Securities) and accrued interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the outstanding Securities of that series, together
with (to the extent lawful) interest on overdue principal and interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and, to the extent lawful, expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

 

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor

of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If
the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 

FIRST:to the Trustee, its agents
and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

 

SECOND:to Holders of any particular
series of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of such series for principal and interest, if any, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal and
interest, respectively; and

 

THIRD:to the Company or any
other obligors on the Securities of that series, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to
the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. The Trustee shall
notify the Company in writing reasonably in advance of any such record date and payment date.

 

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken
or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section
6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series.

(e) No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may refuse

cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel).

 

(f) The
Trustee shall not be obligated to pay interest on any money or other assets received by it unless otherwise agreed in writing with
the Company. Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee.
Subject to Section 7.01:

and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

(g) The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified,
are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and

(h) The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

 

(i) 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 request,
and in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel.

 

(j) The
Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting for the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such times to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may
be signed by any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of
Trustee.

 

The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject
to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable
for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities
other than its certificate of authentication.

 

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, and if it is known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of any such Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and
so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to
Holders. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture
as may be required by TIA Section 3.13 at the times and in the manner provided by the TIA, which shall initially be not less than
every twelve months commencing on and may be dated as of a date up to 75 days prior to such transmission.

 

A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC, if required, and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities of any series are listed on any stock exchange.

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company shall be liable for paying to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture
and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall be liable for reimbursing the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, costs of
preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Securityholders
and reasonable costs of counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise,
in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any
and all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance
of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expense of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07) and of
defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Securityholder, the Company or otherwise). Failure by the Trustee
to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the
Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay
such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee,
there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense which is finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.

 

To secure the Company’s payment obligations
in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee
other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section
7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company.

 

The Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’
payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or clause (v) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company,
the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

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

 

The Trustee may resign and be discharged
from the trust hereby created with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by so notifying the Company in writing. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect
to that series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to one or
more or all series of Securities if: (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 or TIA Section 310; (ii) the Trustee
is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(iii) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

If, as to any series of Securities, the Trustee
resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee for that series of Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its fees and reimbursement of its
expenses while acting as Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of then outstanding Securities of that series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company.

 

Any Holder of Securities of that series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee if the Trustee
fails to comply with Section 7.10.

 

A successor Trustee as to any series of Securities
shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee under this Indenture. The Company shall mail a notice of the successor Trustee’s succession to the Holders.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided
for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses, losses
and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement.

 

In case of the appointment hereunder of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary
or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(2) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee;
provided, however, that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees to be co-Trustees
of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust hereunder separate and apart from any trust hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee.

 

    	 	17	 

     

    

 

Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.

 

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by
Merger, Etc.  Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the successor entity without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee as to that series of Securities.

 

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.
Each series of Securities shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a) (1), (2) and (5). The
Trustee as to any series of Securities shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

 

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection
of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed
in TIA Section 311 (b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated
therein.

the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 8.02 and Section 8.05 shall
survive.

 

SECTION 8.02. Application of Trust
Funds; Indemnification.

certified 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 U.S. Government Obligations or money

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder: (i) to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency or make any change required to qualify the indenture under the TIA, provided that such change does not
adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder in any material respect; (ii) to comply with Section 5.01; (iii) to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated Securities; (iv) to make any change that does not adversely affect
in any material respect the rights hereunder of any Holder; (v) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture
in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided, however, that any such addition, change or elimination
(A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled
to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or
(B) shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental
indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provisions; or (vi) to establish additional series of Securities as permitted by
Section 2.01.

 

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders.
The Company and the Trustee as to any series of Securities may amend this Indenture or the Securities of that series or waive compliance
in any particular instance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of that series, in each case with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series.

 

Without the consent of each Holder affected,
an amendment or waiver under this Section may not: (i) reduce the principal amount of Securities, whose Holders must consent to
an amendment or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security; (iii) change the date
on which any Security may be subject to redemption or repurchase, or reduce the redemption or repurchase price therefor; (iv) make
any Security payable in currency other than that stated in the Security; or (v) make any change in Section 6.04, 6.07
or this sentence.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 

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

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

The Company will mail supplemental indentures
to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that
complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect
of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security; provided, however, that unless
a record date shall have been established pursuant to Section 2.14, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment
or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective on receipt by the Trustee of consents from the Holders of
the requisite percentage principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, and thereafter shall bind every Holder of
Securities of that series.

 

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange
of Securities. If an amendment or waiver changes the terms of a Security: (a) the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver such Security to the Trustee, the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed
terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security thereafter authenticated; or
(b) if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

 

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendment,
etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not sign it. In signing
or refusing to sign such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).
