 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT is
entered into as of July 21, 2008, by and between AHMED RUBAIE (the “Employee”) and ARIBA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

  

	 	1.	DUTIES AND SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT. 

 (a) Position. The Employee’s employment hereunder (the “Employment”) shall commence on the date of this Agreement. Effective
August 10, 2008, the Employee shall be employed in the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Employee shall have such duties and
responsibilities as the Company may reasonably assign to him that are commensurate with his title and position with the Company. The Employee’s principal place of Employment shall be determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 (b) Obligations to the Company. During his Employment, the Employee shall devote his full business efforts and time to the Company.
During his Employment, without the prior written approval of the Company, the Employee shall not render services in any capacity to any other person or entity and shall not act as a sole proprietor or partner of any other person or entity or as a
shareholder owning more than five percent of the stock of any other corporation. The Employee shall comply with the Company’s policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during his Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall preclude the Employee from (i) serving on the boards of directors of a reasonable number of trade associations and/or charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs and
(iii) managing his personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities as set forth in Subsection (a) above. 
  

	 	2.	COMPENSATION. 

 (a) Salary.
The Company shall pay the Employee as compensation for his services a base salary at a gross annual rate of not less than $400,000. Such salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. (The annual
compensation specified in this Subsection (a), together with any increases in such compensation that the Company may grant from time to time, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Base Salary.”) 
 (b) Signing Bonuses. Within 30 days after the Employee’s first day of Employment, the Company shall pay him $100,000 in a lump sum in cash.
Within six months after the Employee’s first day of Employment (on a date determined by the Company at its sole discretion), the Company shall pay him an additional $100,000 in a lump sum in cash. The Employee shall immediately repay all
amounts that he received under this Subsection (b) if he resigns his position with the Company within six months after his first day of Employment. 

 (c) Incentive Bonuses. Commencing with fiscal year 2009, the Employee shall be eligible to be
considered for an annual incentive bonus with a target amount of not less than $200,000. The bonus shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s generally applicable bonus payment procedures for similarly situated employees. The bonus shall be
awarded based on the criteria established by the Company and communicated to the Employee during the first quarter of the applicable fiscal year. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Employee shall not be entitled to an incentive bonus
if he is not employed by the Company on the date when such bonus is payable in accordance with the Company’s generally applicable bonus payment procedures for similarly situated employees. 
 Solely with respect to fiscal year 2009, the Employee’s incentive bonus shall not be less than $150,000, of which $50,000 shall be payable in
November 2008 and $100,000 shall be payable in June 2009 (collectively, the “Advance Payments”). The Employee shall not be entitled to an Advance Payment if he is not employed by the Company on the date when such Advance Payment is due.
The amount of the Advance Payments shall be subtracted from the final incentive bonus earned by the Employee for Fiscal Year 2009. 
 (d)
Initial Equity Award. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Employee shall receive restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) representing shares of the Company’s Common
Stock (the “Stock”) with a market value equal to $1,400,000, rounded off to the nearest whole share. For this purpose, the market value per share of Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the average of the closing prices on the 30
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of grant, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to stock units granted under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. The Employee shall vest in one-third of the RSUs after 12 months from the vesting commencement date provided his service is continuous from his first
date of employment, an additional one-third of the RSUs after 24 months from the vesting commencement date provided his service is continuous from his first date of employment, and the remaining one-third of the RSUs after 36 months from the vesting
commencement date provided his service is continuous from his first date of employment, as described in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement. 
  

	 	3.	VACATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. 

 During his Employment, the Employee shall be eligible for paid vacations in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy for similarly situated
employees, as it may be amended from time to time. During his Employment, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the retirement, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, tuition assistance and other benefit and fringe benefit
plans (collectively, the “Employee Benefit Plans”) maintained by the Company for similarly situated employees, subject in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the plan in question and to the determinations of any
person or committee administering such Employee Benefit Plan. 
  

 2 

	 	4.	BUSINESS AND RELOCATION EXPENSES. 

 (a) Business Expenses. During his Employment, the Employee shall be authorized to incur necessary and reasonable travel, entertainment and other
business expenses in connection with his duties hereunder. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for such expenses upon presentation of an itemized account and appropriate supporting documentation, all in accordance with the Company’s
generally applicable policies for similarly situated employees. 
 (b) Relocation Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Employee
for the reasonable expenses of relocating himself, his family and his household to his principal place of Employment, as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Eligibility for reimbursement shall be determined in accordance with
the Company’s relocation policy for similarly situated employees. 
  

	 	5.	TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. 

 (a) Termination of Employment. The Company may terminate the Employee’s Employment at any time and for any reason (or no reason), and with or without cause, by giving the Employee 30 days’ advance
notice in writing. The Employee may terminate his Employment at any time and for any reason (or no reason) by giving the Company 30 days’ advance notice in writing. The Employee’s Employment shall terminate automatically in the event of
his death. The termination of the Employee’s Employment shall not limit or otherwise affect his obligations under Section 8. 
 (b)
Employment at Will. The Employee’s Employment with the Company shall be “at will.” Any contrary representations that may have been made to the Employee shall be superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the
full and complete agreement between the Employee and the Company on the “at will” nature of the Employee’s Employment, which may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by the Employee and a duly authorized officer of
the Company. 
 (c) Rights upon Termination. Except as expressly provided in Sections 6 and 7, upon the termination of the
Employee’s Employment, the Employee shall only be entitled to the compensation, benefits and expense reimbursements that the Employee has earned under this Agreement before the effective date of the termination. The payments under this
Agreement shall fully discharge all responsibilities of the Company to the Employee. 
  

	 	6.	TERMINATION BENEFITS (NO CHANGE IN CONTROL). 

  

	 	(a)	Qualifying Terminations. This Section 6 shall only apply if: 

  

	 	(i)	Section 7 does not apply; 

  

 3 

 (ii) A Separation occurs because
the Company terminates the Employee’s Employment for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability;1 and 
 (iii) Either (A) the Employee and the Company have executed a reciprocal general release (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A) of all known and unknown claims that they may then have against each other and have agreed not to prosecute any legal action or other proceeding based on such claims or (B) the Company (at its sole discretion) has
determined within 30 days after the Separation to waive the requirement of a reciprocal general release. Absent a waiver by the Company, the Company shall complete the form of release and deliver it to the Employee within 30 days after the
Separation. The Employee shall execute and return the release within the period set forth in such form. 
 The foregoing notwithstanding, the Employee and
the Company shall not be required to release any claims that they may have against each other arising under (i) any indemnification agreement between the Employee and the Company or (ii) any rights to indemnification, advancement of
expenses or repayment arising under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, in each case as currently in effect or as subsequently amended. 
 (b) Severance Pay. If this Section 6 applies, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive severance payments from the Company for a period
of 12 months following the Separation (the “Continuation Period”). Such severance payments shall be made in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures and shall commence within 30 days after the Employee returns the
release described in Subsection (a)(iii)(A) above or the Company makes the determination described in Subsection (a)(iii)(B) above, as applicable. The annual rate of such severance payments shall be equal to the sum of: 
 (i) The Employee’s Base Salary at the annual rate in effect when the Separation occurs; plus 
 (ii) The Employee’s annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Separation occurs. 
 In addition to any other remedies that may be available to the Company, severance payments shall cease immediately if the Employee fails to comply with the covenants set
forth in Section 8. 
 (c) Acceleration of Vesting. If this Section 6 applies, then: 
 (i) The vested portion of all restricted shares of Stock held by the Employee when the Separation occurs shall at all times thereafter be

the Separation. 
 (d) Extension of Option Exercise Period. If this Section 6 applies, then all options and other rights to
purchase shares of Stock, and all stock appreciation rights measured by the value of Stock, that are held by the Employee when the Separation occurs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of: 
 (i) The later of (A) the date 12 months after the Separation or (B) with respect to any increment of options or rights that
becomes exercisable later than nine months after the Separation, the date three months after such increment becomes exercisable; or 
 (ii) The date the options or rights would have expired if the Separation had not occurred. 
 (e) COBRA Premiums. If this
Section 6 applies, and if the Employee elects to continue health insurance coverage under COBRA for himself and, if applicable, his dependents following the Separation, then the Company shall pay the employer portion of the monthly premium
under COBRA for the Employee and, if applicable, such dependents until the earliest of:

	 	(a)	Qualifying Terminations. This Section 7 shall apply if a Separation occurs because: 

 (i) The Company terminates the Employee’s Employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability within 12
months after a Change in Control; or 
 (ii) The Employee resigns for Good Reason within 12 months after a Change in Control.

  

 5 

 (b) Severance Payment. If this Section 7 applies, then the Employee shall be entitled to
receive a severance payment from the Company. The amount of such payment shall be equal to 200% of the sum of: 
 (i) The
Employee’s Base Salary at the annual rate in effect when the Separation occurs or at the annual rate in effect when the Change in Control occurs, whichever is greater; plus 
 (ii) The Employee’s annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Separation occurs. 
 Such payment shall be made in a lump sum in cash on the date a Separation occurs under Subsection (a)(i) above or not later than the date three business days after
a Separation occurs under Subsection (a)(ii) above. 
 (c) Acceleration of Vesting. If this Section 7 applies, then all of
the Equity held by the Employee when the Separation occurs shall become fully and unconditionally vested, fully exercisable and fully transferable (except for transfer restrictions imposed by law). 
 (d) Extension of Option Exercise Period. If this Section 7 applies, then all options and other rights to purchase shares of Stock, and all

	 	8.	COVENANTS. 

 (a)
Non-Solicitation. During his Employment and, if Section 6 applies, during the Continuation Period, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, personally or 
  

 6 

 
through others, solicit or attempt to solicit the employment of any employee of the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates, whether on the
Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity. The term “employment” for purposes of this Subsection (a) means to enter into an arrangement for services as a full-time or part-time employee, independent
contractor, agent or otherwise. The Employee and the Company agree that this provision is reasonably enforced as to any geographic area in which the Company conducts its business. 
 (b) Non-Competition. The Employee agrees that, during his Employment and during the Continuation Period (if any), he shall not: 
 (i) Directly or indirectly, individually or in conjunction with others, engage in activities that compete with the Company or work for any
entity that is part of the Company’s Market; 
 (ii) Solicit, serve, contract with or otherwise engage any existing or
prospective customer, client or account of the Company on behalf of any entity that is part of the Company’s Market; or 
 (iii) Cause or attempt to cause any existing or prospective customer, client or account of the Company to divert from, terminate, limit or in any manner modify, or fail to enter into, any actual or potential business relationship with the
Company. The Employee and the Company agree that this provision is reasonably enforced with reference to any geographic area in which the Company maintains any such relationship. 
 For purposes of this Subsection (b), the Company’s “Market” shall mean (i) all companies that derive their revenue primarily from e-procurement and/or spend management software or service
sales or sales of software or services aiding companies in sourcing and/or spend management activities and (ii) those companies set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Employee and the Company agree that the Company’s
Market is global in scope. 
 (c) Cooperation and Non-Disparagement. The Employee agrees that, during the Continuation Period, he
shall cooperate with and assist the Company in every reasonable respect in facilitating the transition of his duties to his successor; provided that the Employee shall not be required to devote more than 20 hours per month to providing such
assistance and cooperation. The Employee further agrees that, during the Continuation Period, he shall not in any way or by any means disparage the Company, the members of the Board or the Company’s officers and employees. 
 (d) Disclosure. The Employee agrees that, during the Continuation Period, he shall inform any new employer or other person or entity with whom the
Employee enters into a business relationship, before accepting employment or entering into a business relationship, of the existence of this Section 8. 
 (e) Construction. If any provision set forth in this Section 8 is not enforceable under the laws of the state in which the Employee is employed following his 

  

 7 

 
Separation, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Employee from engaging in such lawful conduct; provided, however, that if the Employee elects to do
so, his rights to any of the benefits set forth in Section 6 shall terminate immediately. 
  

	 	9.	PARACHUTE PAYMENTS. 

 (a) Parachute Gross-Up Payment. If it is determined that any payment or distribution of any type to the Employee or for his benefit by the Company, any of its affiliates, any person who acquires ownership or effective control of the
Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets (within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder) or any affiliate of such
person, whether paid, payable, distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Total Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code or any interest or
penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax and any such interest or penalties are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up
Payment”) in an amount calculated to ensure that after the Employee pays all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee retains an amount
of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. 
 (b) Determination by Accountant. All
determinations and calculations required to be made under this Section 9 shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Employee from among the largest five accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting
Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, to the Employee and the
Company within five business days after the Employee or the Company made a request (if the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable
by the Employee, it shall furnish the Employee with a written statement that it has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Employee has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal
income tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee, absent manifest error. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. 
 (c) Time of Payment. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Employee within five business days after the
Determination has been delivered to him or the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment shall in any event be made prior to the close of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Excise Tax was paid. 
 (d) Over- and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been
made (“Overpayment”). In either event, the Accounting Firm shall 

  

 8 

 
determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the Company shall promptly pay the amount of such
Underpayment to the Employee or for his benefit. In the case of an Overpayment, the Employee shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund),
follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (i) the Employee shall in no event be obligated to return
to the Company an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that the Employee has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with the intent of Subsection (a) above, which is to make the Employee whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Employee’s
repaying to the Company an amount that is less than the Overpayment. 
 (e) Limitation on Parachute Payments. Any other provision of
this Section 9 notwithstanding, if the Excise Tax could be avoided by reducing the Total Payments by an amount not in excess of 30% of the “base amount” (within the meaning of section 280G of the Code and the regulations
thereunder), then the Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the Excise Tax and no Gross-Up Payment shall be made. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Total Payments are to be reduced under the preceding sentence,
then any such reduction shall be applied first to amounts that constitute “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder). If there is more than one such amount, then such
reduction shall be applied on a pro rata basis to all such amounts. Subject to the foregoing rules, the Employee may elect, in his sole discretion, which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after
such election no Excise Tax shall be payable), and the Employee shall advise the Company in writing of his election within 10 business days of receipt of notice. If the Employee makes no such election within such 10-day period, then the Company may
elect which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax shall be payable), and it shall notify the Employee promptly of such election. 
  

	 	10.	SUCCESSORS. 

 (a) Company’s
Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s
business and/or assets. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets that becomes bound by this Agreement. 
 (b) Employee’s Successors. This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the
Employee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
  

 9 

	 	11.	ARBITRATION. 

 (a) Scope of
Arbitration Requirement. The parties hereby waive their rights to a trial before a judge or jury and agree to arbitrate before a neutral arbitrator any and all claims or disputes arising out of this Agreement and any and all claims arising from
or relating to the Employee’s Employment, including (but not limited to) claims against any current or former employee, director or agent of the Company, claims of wrongful termination, retaliation, discrimination, harassment, breach of
contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, invasion of privacy, fraud, misrepresentation, constructive discharge or failure to provide a leave of absence, claims regarding commissions, stock options or bonuses,
infliction of emotional distress or unfair business practices, or any tort or tort-like causes of action. 
 (b) Exceptions. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the following are the only claims that may be resolved in any appropriate forum (including courts of law) as required by applicable laws then in effect: (i) claims concerning workers’ compensation benefits; and
(ii) claims concerning unemployment insurance. 
 (c) Procedure. The arbitrator’s decision shall be written and shall
include the findings of fact and law that support the decision. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on both parties, except to the extent applicable law allows for judicial review of arbitration awards. The arbitrator may award
any remedies that would otherwise be available to the parties if they were to bring the dispute in court. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall allow the discovery that the arbitrator deems necessary for the parties to vindicate their respective claims or defenses. The arbitration shall take place in Santa Clara County, California,
or (at the Employee’s option) the county in which the Employee primarily worked with the Company at the time when the arbitrable dispute or claim first arose. The arbitrator selected for any arbitration shall be mutually agreeable to the
Company and the Employee; provided that if the Company and the Employee are unable to reach agreement on the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitration shall be performed by a panel of three arbitrators. The panel shall consist of one arbitrator
selected by the Company and a second arbitrator selected by the Employee. The selected arbitrators shall, in turn, select a third arbitrator to complete the panel. 
 (d) Costs. The parties shall share the costs of arbitration equally, except that the Company shall bear the cost of the arbitrator’s fee and any other type of expense or cost that the Employee would not be
required to bear if he were to bring the dispute or claim in court. Both the Company and the Employee shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees, and the arbitrator may not award attorneys’ fees unless a statute or contract at
issue specifically authorizes such an award. 
  

	 	12.	DEFINITIONS.

 (a) Notice. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of the Employee, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address that he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be
addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
  

 13 

 (b) Modifications and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or
discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Employee and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Employee). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any
condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 
 (c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and replace any prior agreements, representations or understandings, whether written, oral or
implied, between the Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (d) Tax Matters. All payments made under
this Agreement shall be subject to reduction to reflect taxes or other charges required to be withheld by law. For purposes of section 409A of the Code, each periodic salary continuation payment under Section 6 is hereby designated as a
separate payment. If the Company determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder at the time of his Separation, then: 
 (i) Any salary continuation payments under Section 6, to the extent not exempt from section 409A of the Code, shall commence
during the seventh month after the Employee’s Separation and the installments that otherwise would have been paid during the first six months following the Employee’s Separation shall be paid in a lump sum when such salary continuation
payments commence; 
 (ii) Any lump sum payment under Section 7, to the extent not exempt from section 409A of the
Code, shall be made during the seventh month after the Employee’s Separation; and 
 (iii) Any Gross-Up Payment, to the
extent not exempt from section 409A of the Code, shall not be made earlier than the later of (A) the date determined under Section 9 or (B) the first day of the seventh month after the Employee’s Separation. 
 (e) Choice of Law and Severability. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California (except their
provisions governing the choice of law). If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision shall be stricken and the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Should there ever occur any conflict between any provision contained in this Agreement and any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation contrary to which the parties
have no legal right to contract, then the latter shall prevail, but the provision of this Agreement affected thereby shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it into compliance with applicable law. All the other terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without impairment or limitation. 
  

 14 

 (f) No Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10(b), this Agreement and all
rights and obligations of the Employee hereunder are personal to the Employee and may not be transferred or assigned by the Employee at any time. The Company may assign its rights under this Agreement to any entity that assumes the Company’s
obligations hereunder in connection with any sale or transfer of all or a substantial portion of the Company’s assets to such entity. 
 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  

 15 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by
its duly authorized officer, as of the day and year first above written.

 EXHIBIT A 
 FORM OF RELEASE 
 ARIBA, INC. 
                     
        , 20         
 Mr. Ahmed Rubaie 
 Dear Ahmed: 
 This letter (the “Agreement”)
confirms the agreement between you and Ariba, Inc. (the “Company”) regarding the termination of your employment with the Company. 
 1. Termination Date. Your employment with the Company will terminate on                     
        , 20         (the “Termination Date”). 
 2. Effective Date and Rescission. You have up to 21 days after you received this Agreement to review it. You are advised to consult an attorney of your own choosing (at your own expense) before signing this
Agreement. Furthermore, you have up to seven days after you signed this Agreement to revoke it. If you wish to revoke this Agreement after signing it, you may do so by delivering a letter of revocation to me. If you do not revoke this Agreement, the
eighth day after the date you signed it will be the “Effective Date.” Because of the seven-day revocation period, no part of this Agreement will become effective or enforceable until the Effective Date. 
 3. Salary and Vacation Pay. On the Termination Date, the Company will pay you
$                     (less all applicable withholding taxes and other deductions). This amount represents all of your salary earned through
the Termination Date and all of your accrued but unused vacation time or PTO. You acknowledge that, if you did not execute this Agreement, you would not be entitled to receive any additional money from the Company. The only payments and benefits
that you are entitled to receive from the Company in the future are those specified in this Agreement. 
 4. Severance Benefits. In
consideration of executing this Agreement, you will receive from the Company the severance benefits described in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement dated July 21, 2008, between you and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”). As
described in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, the continuation of such severance benefits is subject to your compliance with the covenants described in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement. 
  

 17 

 5. Release of Your Claims. In consideration of receiving the severance benefits described in
Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, you waive, release and promise never to assert any claims or causes of action, whether or not now known, against the Company or its predecessors, successors or past or present subsidiaries, stockholders,
directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents, assigns and employee benefit plans with respect to any matter, including (without limitation) any matter related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that
employment, including (without limitation) claims to attorneys’ fees or costs, claims of wrongful discharge, constructive discharge, emotional distress, defamation, invasion of privacy, fraud, breach of contract or breach of the covenant of
good faith and fair dealing and any claims of discrimination or harassment based on sex, age, race, national origin, disability or any other basis under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act and all other laws and regulations relating to employment. However, this release bars only those claims that arose prior to the execution of this Agreement. Execution of this Agreement does not bar:

 (a) Any claim that arises hereafter, including (without limitation) a claim for breach of this Agreement; 
 (b) Any claim arising under any Indemnification Agreement between you and the Company, as amended (the “Indemnification
Agreement”); or 
 (c) Any claim to indemnification or advancement of expenses arising under the Company’s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”), or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”). 
 6. Release of the Company’s Claims. The Company waives, releases and promises never to assert any claims or causes of action, whether or not
now known, against you or your successors, agents or assigns with respect to any matter, including (without limitation) any matter related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, including (without limitation)
claims to attorneys’ fees or costs and claims of defamation, fraud, breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. However, this release bars only those claims that arose prior to the execution of this Agreement.
Execution of this Agreement does not bar: 
 (a) Any claim that arises hereafter, including (without limitation) a claim for
breach of this Agreement; 
 (b) Any claim arising under the Indemnification Agreement; or 
 (c) Any claim to repayment arising under the Certificate or the Bylaws. 
 7. Waiver. You and the Company expressly waive and release any and all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
(or any analogous law of any 

  

 18 

 
other state), which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 
 8. Promise Not To Sue. You agree that you will never, individually or with any other person, commence, aid in any way (except as required by legal process) or prosecute, or cause or permit to be commenced or prosecuted, any action or
other proceeding based on any claim that has been released pursuant to Section 5 above. The Company agrees that it will never, individually or with any other person, commence, aid in any way (except as required by legal process) or prosecute,
or cause or permit to be commenced or prosecuted, any action or other proceeding based on any claim that has been released pursuant to Section 6 above. 
 9. No Admission. Nothing contained in this Agreement will constitute or be treated as an admission by you or the Company of liability, any wrongdoing or any violation of law. 
 10. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. At all times in the future, you will remain bound by your Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement with the Company and by any similar agreement with a predecessor of the Company. 
 11. Modifications. This
Agreement may be modified only in a written document signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
 12. Company
Property. You represent that you have returned to the Company all property that belongs to the Company, including (without limitation) copies of documents that belong to the Company and files stored on your computer(s) that contain information
belonging to the Company. 
 13. Severability. If any term of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, and the parties will use their best efforts to find an alternate way to achieve the same result. 
 14. Choice of Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California (other than their
choice-of-law provisions). 
 15. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an
original, but all of which together will constitute one agreement. Execution of a facsimile copy will have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a facsimile signature will be deemed an original and valid signature. 

 

 19 

 Please indicate your agreement with the above terms by signing below. 
  

			
	Very truly yours,
	
	ARIBA, INC.
		
	By:

 SECTION 2.03 Denominations; Provisions for Payment. 
  
 The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the
denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(10). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with respect to that
series. The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is
legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 The interest installment on
any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with
respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security, except as provided in Section 3.03. 
  
 Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having
been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (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 such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), 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 such
Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date. 
  
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which such 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. 
  
 Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this
Section with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series
pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in
lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 
  

 5 

 SECTION 2.04 Execution and Authentications. 
  
 The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its President, or
one of its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers, or its Secretary, or one of its Assistant Secretaries, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the
form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President thereof, or of any Person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. The seal
of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule
or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. 
  
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its President or any Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 
  
 In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the
issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

  
 (a) Securities of any series may be exchanged upon
presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange
therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 (b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose or such other location
designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of
Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as
authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). 
  
 Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee
or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount. 
  
 All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the
Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in
writing. 
  
 (c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange
or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. 
  

 6 

 (d) The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any
Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing, nor (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11
hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.06 Temporary Securities.

  
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any
series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be
executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will
furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that
definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 
  
 In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid)
shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or
stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the
applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security
and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the
ownership thereof. 
  
 Every replacement Security issued pursuant
to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the
contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
  
 SECTION 2.08 Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.
On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the 

  

 7 

 
Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate
of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 SECTION 2.09 Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.10 Authenticating Agent. 
  
 So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may
be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued
upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All
references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a
corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is
otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it
shall resign immediately. 
  
 Any Authenticating Agent may at any
time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor
Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 
  
 SECTION 2.11 Global Securities. 
  
 (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the
Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (1) shall represent, and shall
be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (2) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (3) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (4) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole
but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.” 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner
provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 (c) If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation,
and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the
Securities of such series and the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented
by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’
Certificate evidencing such determination 

  

 8 

 
by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in
whose names such Securities are so registered. 
  
 ARTICLE III

  
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS

  
 SECTION 3.01 Redemption. 
  
 The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates
and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 3.02 Notice of Redemption. 
  
 (a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance
with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not
less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be
redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any
Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with any such restriction. 
  
 Each such notice of
redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office
or agency of the Company, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the
redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities
to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon
surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
  
 (b) If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the
date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may
provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and
shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or
any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of
the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to
remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail
that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

 SECTION 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption. 
  
 (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above
provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued
interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at
the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be
payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03). 
  
 (b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Security so presented. 
  
 SECTION 3.04 Sinking
Fund. 
  
 The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of 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 Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 
  
 SECTION 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
  
 The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for
redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments
pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount
of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
  
 SECTION 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
  
 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, 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 the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together
with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 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 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption
of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other
office or agency for such purposes or any of them. 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, notices and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. 
  
 SECTION 4.03 Paying Agents. 
  

 (a) If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company
will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: 
  
 (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto; 
  
 (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by
the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable; 
  
 (3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any
failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and 
  
 (4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture. 
  
 (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any
series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient
to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or
any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the 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 this action or failure so to act. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (1) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Section 11.05, and (2) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or 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 terms and conditions 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. 
  
 SECTION 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

(or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund
established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or
premium, if any; 
  
 (3) the Company fails to
observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or
agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; 
  
 (4) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable. 
  
 (c) At any time after the principal of the Securities
of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, 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 all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such

and any amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (2) any and all other Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series that shall not have
become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the
Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 
  
 SECTION 6.02 Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

 
 (a) If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or
(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid,
and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be

file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of a series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under this
Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim,

under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of a series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such
suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the
ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. 
  
 In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this

of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

 SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities
of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (b) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (c) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and (e) during such 60-day period, the holders of a

such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. By accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such
series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers
and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect
to such Securities. 
  
 (b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or
of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on
acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

remedy 

  

 15 

 
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall
not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, 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 Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee
in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the holders of all of the
Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to
pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of
this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair
any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 6.07
Undertaking to Pay Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s 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 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 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 Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

curing of all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with
respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs. 
  
 (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such
Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: 
  
 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but 

  

 16 

 
in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and 
  
 (4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under
the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 SECTION 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 
  
 (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  
 (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company, by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof
(unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein); 
  
 (c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (d) 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 Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
  
 (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, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other papers
or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by
the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and 
  

 17 

 (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. 
  
 SECTION 7.03 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or
Issuance or Securities. 
  
 (a) The recitals contained herein and
in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. 
  
 (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. 
  
 (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the
use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 7.04 May Hold Securities. 
  
 The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. 
  
 SECTION 7.05 Moneys Held in Trust. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon. 
  
 SECTION 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
  
 (a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all
services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors
and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. 
  
 (b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities. 
  
 SECTION 7.07 Reliance on Officers’ Certificate. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
  

 18 

 SECTION 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
  
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest”
within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 SECTION 7.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the
Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person
permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. 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. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. 
  
 SECTION 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing 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 Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 
  
 (b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur: 
  
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or 
  
 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy
proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor trustee. 
  
 (c) The holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with
the consent of the Company. 
  

 19 

 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the
Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. 
  
 (e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series. 
  
 SECTION 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment By Successor. 
  
 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee
so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment
of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
  
 (b) In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and 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 deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; 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, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
the appointment of such successor trustee relates. 
  
 (c) Upon
request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in 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. 
  
 (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
  
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such 

  

 20 

 
corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

 
 SECTION 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
the Company. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with
Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act to the extent included therein. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII

  
 CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 
  
 SECTION 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders.

  
 Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of
a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other
action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such
holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. 
  
 If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an
Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no
obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of
business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by
such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
  
 SECTION 8.02 Proof of Execution by Securityholders.

  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 
  
 (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument
may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. 
  
 (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary. 
  
 SECTION 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security,
the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the 

  

 21 

 
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 SECTION 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded. 
  
 In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have
concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full
protection to the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 8.05
Actions Binding on Future Securityholders. 
  
 At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of
holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and
owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the
holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
all the Securities of that series. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
  
 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
  
 SECTION 9.01 Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of
Securityholders. 
  
 In addition to any supplemental indenture
otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect),
without the consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes: 
  
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency herein or in the Securities of any series; 
  
 (b) to comply with Article Ten; 
  
 (c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 
  
 (d) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of
all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or
power herein conferred upon the Company; 
  
 (e) to add to, delete
from or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of Securities, as herein set forth; 
  
 (f) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect; or

  
 (g) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and
terms and conditions of the Securities of any series as provided 

  

 22 

 
in Section 2.01, to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series of
Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of Securities. 
  
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent
of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 
  
 SECTION 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. 
  
 With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of any
series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
  
 SECTION 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

 
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,
and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
  
 SECTION 9.04 Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 Securities of any series affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated
and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon
which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification
of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding. 
  
 SECTION 9.05 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

  
 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by Board
Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or
permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection
with the execution of a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
  

 23 

 Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names
and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 SUCCESSOR ENTITY 
  
 SECTION 10.01 Company May Consolidate, Etc.
