 THIS INDENTURE, dated as of
                        , between AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and
THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States (the “Trustee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H : 
 WHEREAS,
the Issuer has duly authorized the issue from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series (the “Securities”) up to such principal amount or amounts as may
from time to time be authorized in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and, to provide, among other things, for the authentication, delivery and administration thereof, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Indenture; and 
 WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Indenture a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer in accordance to its
terms, have been done; 
 NOW, THEREFORE: 

In consideration of the premises and the purchases of the Securities by the holders thereof, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually covenant and
agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities or of series thereof as follows: 

ARTICLE ONE 

DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.1    Certain Terms Defined. The following terms (except as otherwise expressly provided or unless
the context otherwise requires) for all purposes of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in this Section. 

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction (as defined in Section 3.7) means, as to any
particular lease under which any person is at the time liable, at any date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined, the total net amount of rent required to be paid by such person under such lease during the remaining term thereof,
excluding renewals, discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of such lease (as determined in good faith by the Issuer). If and to the extent the amount of any lease payment during any future period is not definitely determinable
under the lease in question, the amount of such lease-payment will be estimated in such reasonable manner as the Issuer may in good faith determine. The net amount of rent required to be paid under any such lease for any such period shall be the
amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period, after excluding amounts required to be paid, whether or not designated as rent or additional rent, on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water
rates or similar charges and any amounts required to be paid by such lessee contingent upon the amount of sales, maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges. In the case of any lease which is terminable by
the 

 
lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount may, if the Issuer so elects, also include the amount of such penalty, in which case no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under
such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated. 
 “Board of Directors” means either the Board
of Directors of the Issuer or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act hereunder.

(5)    one or more Opinions of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 11.5, or at the option of
the Company, a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on one or more Opinions of Counsel, substantially to the effect that: 

(a)    the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Issuer; 

(b)    such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the
manner and subject to any exceptions, assumptions and qualifications specified in such Opinions of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture and enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to laws and principles of equity relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including without limitation bankruptcy and insolvency laws; and 

  
 13 

 (c)    all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture with respect to the authentication and delivery of the Securities of a series by the Trustee have been complied with; 
 provided,
however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of
Securities of such series and that the opinions described in clauses (a) and (b) above may state, respectively, that: 

(x)    when the terms of such Securities shall have been established pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such
procedures as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, all as contemplated by and in accordance with an Officer’s Certificate authorized by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, such terms will have been duly
authorized by the Company; and 
 (y)    that such Securities when (1) executed by the Company, (2) completed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, (3) issued and delivered by the Issuer and (4) paid for, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the aforesaid Company Order or specified procedures, as
the case may be, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
laws and principles of equity relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including without limitation bankruptcy and insolvency laws. 

With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the
Issuer of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the compliance with any conditions precedent provide for in this Indenture related to the authentication and delivery by the Trustee, upon the Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of
Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and this Section 2.4, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series unless and until such certificate, opinion or other
documents have been superseded or revoked. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Issuer’s instructions to authenticate and
deliver such Securities in the Company Order do not violate any rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Issuer. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall
determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3 and of the
preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Company

  
 14 

 
Order, Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.4 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such
documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. If the resolution of the Board of Directors, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such
Securities shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities, including procedures to determine the interest rate or rates, stated maturity or maturities, date or dates of
issuance and other terms of such Securities. 
 Section 2.5    Execution of Securities. The Securities shall
be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual, facsimile or electronic signature of any Officer of the Issuer. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. 
 In case any officer of the
Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and
delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security,
shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such officer. 

Section 2.6    Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form recited in Section 2.2, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer 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. 
 Section 2.7    Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of
each series shall be issuable as registered securities without coupons and in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.3. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the
Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with
such plans as the officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to the
Securities of such series. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the applicable date and shall be payable on such dates, in each case, as shall be specified on the face of the form of security. 

The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular
series with respect to any interest payment date for 

  
 15 

 
such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the record date and
prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose
names outstanding Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five business days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice sent by
the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee) or by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer (and at the Issuer’s expense) to the holders of Securities not less than 10 days preceding such subsequent record date. 

The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest on 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 written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section, such manner of
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Each Security delivered pursuant to any provision of this Indenture in exchange or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other Security shall carry all the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 Section 2.8    Registration,
Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 a register or registers for each series of Securities issued hereunder in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the registrar appointed by the Issuer (the “Registrar”) will register, and will register the transfer of, Securities of such series as in this Article provided. Such register shall be in written form
in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office as Registrar in connection with the Securities and this Indenture, until such time as another Person is appointed as such by the Issuer. The Registrar may have one or more
co-registrars, the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. The Company or any affiliate thereof may act as Registrar or
co-registrar. 
 Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at
any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same
series in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, having the same terms and conditions. The transfer of any Security shall not be valid as against the Issuer or the Trustee unless registered at the Registrar at the
request of the holder, or at the request of his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Subject to Section 2.14, any
Security or Securities of any series may be exchanged for a Security or Securities of the same series in other authorized denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount and of like tenor, having the same terms and conditions. Securities of
any series to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
the Security or Securities of the same series which the holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive and of like tenor, having the same terms and conditions, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 

  
 16 

 All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if
so required by the Issuer, the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof
or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Issuer’s own expense or without expense or
charge to the holders. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Securities. 
 The Issuer shall
not be required to register, transfer or exchange (a) any Securities of any series for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the first transmission of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected or called
for redemption pursuant to this Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of such transmission, or (b) any Securities so selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security where public notice has
been given that such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed after the redemption date. 
 All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered for such
registration of such transfer or exchange. 
 Section 2.9    Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor, having the same terms and conditions, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership
thereof. 
 Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer 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 which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption
in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer 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 or defaced
Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee 

  
 17 

 
such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall
be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies
with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 

Section 2.10    Cancellation Of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for prompt cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it.
The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled
by the Trustee. No Securities shall be issued in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy canceled Securities held by it in accordance
with its then customary procedures and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer upon written request of the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, 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 2.11    Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as registered Securities without coupons, printed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise
reproduced, in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as the Officer executing
such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by his or her execution of such Securities. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be
executed by an Officer of the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall
furnish definitive Securities of such series, unless the Securities of a series are to be issued as Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.14, and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without
charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such 

  
 18 

 
temporary Securities of such series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

Section 2.12    Computation Of Interest. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.3 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 2.13    Payment In Currencies. 

(a)    Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of any series shall
be made in Dollars, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3(12); provided that in the case of Securities of a series denominated in Foreign Currencies the holder of a Security of such series may elect to receive such payment in
Dollars if authorized pursuant to Section 2.3(13). 
 A holder may make such election by delivering to the Trustee a written notice
thereof, substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.13(f), or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Trustee, not later than the close of business on the record date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. Such election
shall remain in effect with respect to such holder until such holder delivers to the Trustee a written notice rescinding such election, provided that any such notice must be delivered to the Trustee not later than the close of business on the record
date immediately preceding the next interest payment date or the fifteenth day preceding the maturity of an installment of principal, as the case may be, in order to be effective for the payment to be made thereon; and provided further that no such
rescission may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Security with respect to which notice of redemption has been given by the Issuer pursuant to Article Twelve. Upon request, the Trustee will send a copy of the form of notice as set
forth in Section 2.13(f) to any holder requesting a copy thereof to the address of such holder set forth in such request. 

(b)    If at least one holder has made the election referred to in subsection (a) above to receive
payments in Dollars on a series of Securities denominated in one or more Foreign Currencies, then the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer, not later than the fourth business day after the record date with respect to an interest payment date or the
10th day immediately preceding the maturity of an installment of principal, as the case may be, a written notice specifying the amount of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities to be paid in Dollars on such
payment date. 
 (c)    Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3, if at least
one holder has made the election referred to in subsection (a) above to receive payments in Dollars on a series of Securities denominated in one or more Foreign Currencies, then the amount receivable by holders of a series of Securities who
have elected payment in Dollars shall be determined by the Issuer on the basis of the applicable Exchange Rate set forth in the applicable Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver, not later than the eighth day following
each record date or the sixth day immediately preceding the maturity of an installment of principal, as the case may be, to the Trustee an Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate in respect of the payments to be made to such holders on such payment
date. 

  
 19 

 (d)    If the Foreign Currency in which a series of
Securities is denominated is not available to the Issuer for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities occurring after the final date on which the Foreign Currency was so used, all payments with respect to the Securities of any such series shall be made in Dollars. If payment is to be
made in Dollars to the holders of any such series of Securities pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence, then the amount to be paid in Dollars on a payment date by the Issuer to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any paying agent to
holders shall be determined by an Exchange Rate Agent and shall be equal to the sum obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Exchange Rate on the second business day preceding such interest payment date or the second
business day preceding the maturity of an installment of principal, as the case may be, or if no rate is quoted for such Foreign Currency, the last date such rate is quoted. 

(e)    All decisions and determinations of an Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Exchange Rate or conversion
of Foreign Currency into Dollars pursuant to subsection (d) above shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent and all holders of the Securities.
If a Foreign Currency in which payment of a series of Securities may be made, pursuant to subsection (a) above, is not available to the Issuer for making payments thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond
the control of the Issuer, the Issuer, after learning thereof, will give written notice thereof to the Trustee promptly (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to the holders in the manner provided in Section 11.4) specifying the
last date on which the Foreign Currency was used for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such series of Securities. 

(f)    Form of election to receive payments in Dollars or to rescind such election: 

The undersigned, registered owner of certificate number (the “Certificate”), representing [name of series of
Securities] (the “Securities”) in an aggregate principal amount of , hereby 

(a)    elects to receive all payments in respect of the Securities in Dollars. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Indenture under which the Securities were issued, this election shall take effect on the next record date after this election form is received by the Trustee and shall remain in effect until it is rescinded by the
undersigned or until the Certificate is transferred or paid in full at maturity. 

  
 20 

 [or] 

(b)    rescinds the election previously submitted by the undersigned to receive all payments in respect of
the Securities in Dollars represented by the Certificate. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, this rescission shall take effect on the next record date after this election form is received by the Trustee. 

The undersigned acknowledges that, except as provided in the Indenture, any costs incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with
the conversion of Foreign Currency into Dollars shall be borne by the undersigned through deduction from payments required to be made to the undersigned pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 Section 2.14    Securities Issuable In The Form Of A Global Security.

 (a)    If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 that the Securities of a
particular series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Global Securities, which (i) shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: 
 “THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS
REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER
THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.” 
 The
aggregate principal amount of each Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the custodian with respect to any Global Security appointed by the Depositary, or any successor Person thereto,
and who shall initially be the Trustee. 

  
 21 

 (b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.14 or of Section 2.8, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global
Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.8, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected
or approved by the Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(c)    (i)    If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Issuer
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series or part thereof shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after
the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or lack of good standing, the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in
exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for
such Global Security. 
 (ii)    The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

(iii)    If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 with respect to Securities issued or
issuable in the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms
as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each person specified by such Depositary a
new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such person’s beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in 

  
 22 

 
an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to
beneficial holders thereof. 
 (iv)    In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
subparagraphs of this paragraph (c), the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange in full of a Global Security for individual
Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global
Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities at its Corporate Trust Office to the persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered. 
 (d)    No members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Members”)
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner or holder of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in any Global Security or any other Security
issued in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 2.15    CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing any Securities may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar
numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE THREE 

COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER 

The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees as follows: 

Section 3.1    Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Securities at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the Securities. Such payments shall be considered made on the date due if on such date the
Trustee or the paying agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to make all payments with respect to such Securities then due. 

  
 23 

 Section 3.2    Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any of the
Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Issuer will maintain the following for such series (which may be an office of the Trustee or the Registrar or a co-registrar): (a) an office or agency where the
Securities may be presented for payment, (b) an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and (c) an office or agency where notices and demands to or
upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer shall fail to
maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive at the Corporate Trust Office all such presentations, demands and notices. 
 Unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to the Securities of any series), the Issuer hereby designates the place where the Trustee shall from time to time maintain its
Corporate Trust Office as the Issuer’s office or agency for such purpose. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or
more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency, for such purposes. The Issuer shall give written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

Section 3.3    Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or
fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder. 

Section 3.4    Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause 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, 

(a)    that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series or
of the Trustee until such sums shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, 

(b)    that it will give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the
Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and 

  
 24 

 (c)    at any time during the continuance of any such
default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent. 
 The Issuer
will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee)
the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any failure to take such action. 
 If the Issuer shall act as its own paying
agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to
pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any failure to
take such action. 
 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying
agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such paying agent. 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. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent,
or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Issuer upon Company Order, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust, and the holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of
such amounts without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Sections 10.3 and 10.4. 
 Section 3.5    Compliance Certificate. The Issuer will deliver to
the Trustee on or before May 15 in each year (beginning with 2018 or, if later, the first year during which Securities are issued under this Indenture) a brief written statement (which need not comply with Section 11.5) from an Officer as
to whether or not to the knowledge of the Officer the Issuer is in default in the performance and observance of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirements of notice
provided hereunder) and if the Issuer shall be in default, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof of which such Officer may have knowledge. 

  
 25 

 Section 3.6    Limitations on Liens. Except to the extent
provided in Section 3.8, the Company will not create or assume, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create or assume, any mortgage, security interest, pledge or lien (collectively in this Article Three referred to as
“lien”) of or upon any Principal Property or shares of capital stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, in each case securing any new Debt incurred or
guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, without making effective provision, and the Company in such case will make or cause to be made effective provision, whereby the outstanding Securities shall be secured by such lien equally and
ratably with any and all other Debt thereby secured, so long as such other Debt shall be so secured; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the following: 

(1)    liens on any Principal Property (including any underlying real estate) acquired, repaired,
constructed or improved by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 180 days after (or in the case of any such Principal Property which is being financed on the basis of
long-term contracts or similar financing arrangements for which a firm commitment is made by one or more banks, insurance companies or other lenders or investors (not including the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), then within 360 days after),
the completion of such acquisition, repair, construction or improvement of such Principal Property to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price and other acquisition costs of such property or the cost of such repair,
construction or improvement, or liens on any Principal Property at the time of acquisition thereof (including by means of a merger or consolidation); 

(2)    liens on property or shares of capital stock or indebtedness of a person existing at the time such

Subsidiary; 
 (3)    liens existing on the date of this Indenture or liens on property or shares of
capital stock or indebtedness of a person existing at the time such person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(4)    liens in favor of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or liens to secure Debt of a Restricted
Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary, but only so long as such indebtedness is held by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(5)    liens in favor of the United States of America or any State or territory thereof (including the
District of Columbia) or any foreign jurisdiction, or any department, agency or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State or territory thereof (including the District of Columbia) or any foreign jurisdiction, to secure
partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract, statute or 

  
 26 

 
regulation, including, without limitation, liens to secure indebtedness of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type, or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price and other acquisition costs or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such liens; 

(6)    liens in favor of any customer arising in respect of partial, progress, advance or other payments
made by or on behalf of such customer for goods produced for or services rendered to such customer in the ordinary course of business not exceeding the amount of such payments; 

(7)    liens for the sole purpose of extending, renewing or replacing (including successive extensions,
renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, any lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (6), inclusive, or in this clause (7), including any lien created prior to and existing on the date of this Indenture, provided that the
principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (plus an amount in respect of fees, costs and expenses, including premiums and accrued and unpaid
interest in relation to any refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement of such Debt), and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property subject to the lien so extended, renewed or
replaced (plus improvements on such property); 
 (8)    mechanics’, workmen’s,
repairmen’s, materialmen’s, carriers’ or other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business; 

(9)    liens created by or resulting from any litigation or proceedings which are being contested in good
faith; liens arising out of judgments or awards against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in good faith prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review; or liens incurred by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of any legal proceeding to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is a party; 

(10)    liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet due or delinquent, or
which can thereafter be paid without penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; landlord’s liens on property held under lease, and tenants’ rights under leases; minor survey exceptions, easements, rights-of-way and other restrictions on the use of properties; liens in favor of performance, appeal, surety or similar bonds; and any other liens of a nature similar to those
hereinabove described in this clause (10) which do not, in the opinion of the Company, materially impair the use of such property in the operation of the business of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the value of such property; and 

(11)    liens in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 3.7. 

  
 27 

 Any lien created for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of any series pursuant to this
Section 3.6 shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the applicable lien described in the first paragraph of this Section 3.6 without any further action on the part of the
holders or the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 3.7    Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back.
Except to the extent provided in Section 3.8, the Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any
Principal Property (except for temporary leases for a term, including any renewal thereof, of not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary within a period of not more than three years)
and except for leases between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries and Sale and Lease-Back Transactions that were entered into prior to the date of this Indenture), which property has been owned and operated by
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary for more than 120 days and has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such person (in this Article Three referred to as a “Sale and Lease-Back
Transaction”) unless either (a) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a lien on such property in a principal amount at least equal to the Attributable Debt of such Sale and Lease-Back
Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6, or (b) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the Attributable Debt of such Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction to (i) the acquisition of additional Principal Property of equal or greater fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary), or (ii) the retirement of indebtedness for
borrowed money (excluding indebtedness under a revolving loan facility, unless the commitment is reduced by the amount of such payment), including the Securities, incurred or assumed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding indebtedness under a revolving loan facility, unless the commitment is reduced by the receipt of such payment), owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) which by its terms matures on, or is
extendable or renewable at the option of the obligor to, a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such indebtedness; provided, however, that the amount to be applied to the retirement of indebtedness pursuant to clause
(ii) shall be reduced by (A) the aggregate principal amount of any Securities delivered to the Trustee for retirement within 180 days of the effective date of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction and (B) the aggregate principal amount
of such indebtedness (other than the Securities) retired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days of the effective date of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction. 

Section 3.8    Exemption from Limitation on Liens and Sale and Lease-Back. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 3.6 and 3.7, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may nevertheless create or assume liens and enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions, which would otherwise require securing of the Securities, the acquisition of another Principal
Property or the retirement of indebtedness for borrowed money under said provisions, provided that the aggregate amount of all such liens and Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted by this Section 3.8 at any time outstanding (as measured by
the aggregate principal amount of all Debt secured by all such liens then outstanding or to be so created or assumed (other than Debt secured by such liens referred to clauses (1) to (11) of Section 3.6) and the Attributable Debt of all
such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions then outstanding or to be so 

  
 28 

 
entered into (other than Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 3.7)) shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, as determined in accordance with the most
recently available consolidated balance sheet of the Company. 
 Section 3.9    Conditional Waiver by Holders of
Securities. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may fail or omit in any particular instance to comply with a covenant or condition set forth in this Indenture or, if expressly provided pursuant to
Section 2.3 with respect to any series of Securities, any additional covenants or conditions applicable to such series, if the Issuer shall have obtained and filed with the Trustee, prior to the time of such failure or omission, evidence (as
provided in Article Seven) of the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding (except as to a covenant or condition which under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Security of such series affected, in which case the consent of the holder of each outstanding Security of such series affected shall be required), either waiving such compliance in such
instance or generally waiving compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, or impair any right consequent thereon and, until such waiver
shall have become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE FOUR 

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE ISSUER 

AND THE TRUSTEE 

Section 4.1    Issuer to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The Issuer
covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of the Securities of each series: 

(a)    semi-annually not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of semi-annual interest
on such Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date and semi-annually on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.3 for non-interest bearing securities in each year, and 

(b)    at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the
Issuer of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished, 
 provided that if and so long as the
Trustee shall be the Security registrar for such series, such list shall not be required to be furnished. 

Section 4.2    Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders Lists. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 or maintained by the Trustee
in its capacity as Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

  
 29 

 (b)    In case three or more holders of Securities
(hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application,
and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders of Securities of a particular series (in which case the applicants must all hold Securities of such series) or with holders of all Securities with respect to
their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and it is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business days after the receipt of
such application, at its election, either: 
 (i)    afford to such applicants access to the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, or 

(ii)    inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of Securities of such series or all
Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such
Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 
 If the Trustee shall elect not to afford
to such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, deliver to each Securityholder of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appears in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the
Trustee of the material to be delivered and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of the Trustee, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall deliver to such applicants and file with the Commission
together with a copy of the material to be delivered, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such transmission would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as
the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have
been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall deliver copies of such material to all such Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be
relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 

  
 30 

 (c)    Each and every holder of Securities, by receiving and
holding the same, agrees with the Issuer and the Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses
of the holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any
material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b). 
 Section 4.3    Reports by the Issuer. The
Issuer covenants: 
 (a)    unless available on EDGAR, to file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the
Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and
regulations prescribe) which the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or if the Issuer is not required to file information,
documents, or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in
such rules and regulations; 
 (b)    to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with
rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents, and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required
from time to time by such rules and regulations; and 
 (c)    to transmit to the holders of Securities,
within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents in this Section 4.3 to the
Trustee (including via EDGAR) is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

Section 4.4    Reports by the Trustee. The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders such reports
concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. Reports so required to be transmitted at stated intervals of not
more than 12 months shall be transmitted no later than August 15 in each calendar year, commencing in 2018. 

  
 31 

 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Securityholders, be
furnished to the Issuer and be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities of any applicable series are listed and also with the Commission. The Issuer agrees to notify the Trustee with respect to any series when and as
the Securities of such series become admitted to trading on any national securities exchange. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS 

ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

Section 5.1    Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. Except where otherwise
indicated by the context or where the term is otherwise defined for a specific purpose, the term “Event of Default” whenever used herein with respect to Securities of any series means any one of the following events unless it is
either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in the manner contemplated in Section 2.3: 

(a)    the failure by the Issuer in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities
of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, which failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days; or 

(b)    the failure by the Issuer in the payment of all or any part of the principal of, and premium, if
any, on any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity as therein expressed, upon redemption (other than pursuant to a sinking fund), upon acceleration under this Indenture or otherwise; or

 (c)    the failure by the Issuer in the payment of any sinking fund installment, if any, as and when
the same shall become due and payable by the terms of a Security of that series, which failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days; or 

(d)    the failure by the Issuer, subject to the provisions of Section 3.9, to perform any other of
the covenants or agreements on the part of the Issuer in this Indenture (other than those set forth exclusively in the terms of a different series of Securities established as contemplated in this Indenture and other than a covenant or condition a
default in the performance of which is specifically addressed elsewhere in this Section 5.1) continued for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder and demanding that the Issuer remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or given to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding; or 

  
 32 

 (e)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall
enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for substantially all of the property of the Issuer or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days; or 
 (f)    the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent by the Issuer to the appointment
or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for substantially all of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 

(g)    the occurrence of any other Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series established
as provided in Section 2.3. 
 If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (g) at the time outstanding occurs
and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such 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 such series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by holders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such series then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the
same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and
payable, the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall
automatically, and without any acceleration or any other action on the part of the trustee or any holder, become immediately due and payable. 

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) 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 Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such
series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid premium, if any, any and all Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than
by acceleration (with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest is legally enforceable under applicable law, upon such principal, accrued and unpaid premium and 

  
 33 

 
overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series (or
at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order), and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein—then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series
(or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such series (or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be—in such case, treated
as a single class) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. 

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and
declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such acceleration, unless such acceleration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed to be such
portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon
and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities. 

Section 5.2    Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that
(a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or
(b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of, and premium, if any, on any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities for
such series or upon any redemption or by acceleration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee or the paying agent for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such
series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, as the case may be (with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law, to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal, and on the overdue premium, if any, and on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order). 

  
 34 

 Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered holders, whether or not the Securities of such series be overdue. 
 In case
the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, 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 proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. 

In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the
Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by acceleration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise: 

(a)    to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the
Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee hereunder under Section 6.6) and of the holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, 

(b)    unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the
Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and 

(c)    to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and
to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the holders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the holders to make
payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee hereunder under Section 6.6. 

  
 35 

 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person. 

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of all amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee hereunder under Section 6.6, shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of each series in respect of which such
action was taken. 
 In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of
this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Securities of each series in respect of which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the
Securities parties to any such proceedings. 
 Section 5.3    Application Of Proceeds. Any moneys collected
by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal, premium or interest, upon presentation of the several
Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of such series if only
partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such
series, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except
as a result of negligence or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order); 

SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become and be
then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee), to
the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in
the Securities of such series, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; 

THIRD: In case the principal of or accrued and unpaid premium, if any, on the Securities in respect of which moneys have been
collected shall have become and shall be 

  
 36 

 
then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal, premium and interest, with interest (to the extent that such
interest has been collected by the Trustee), to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, upon the overdue principal, accrued and unpaid premium, if any, and overdue installments of interest at the same rate as
the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the
Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal, premium and interest, without preference or priority of any kind, ratably to the aggregate of such principal, accrued and unpaid premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and

 FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other person lawfully entitled thereto. 

Section 5.4    Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is
continuing, 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 Indenture or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 Section 5.5    Restoration of Rights on
Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee,
then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken. 
 Section 5.6    Limitations on Suits by holders. 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 action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of one or more of the Events of Default herein
specified with respect to such series of Securities and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding, or, in
the case of any Event of Default described in clause (d), (e) or (f) of Section 5.1, 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then outstanding, shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or
proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and 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 and the Trustee for 60 days after its
receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected, refused or failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 5.9. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

  
 37 

 Section 5.7    Unconditional Right of holders to Institute Certain
Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on such Security on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. 

Section 5.8    Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in
Section 2.9, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder 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 Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.6, every power
and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders. 

Section 5.9    Control by holders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of each series affected (with each series voting as a separate class) at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject
to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the interests of holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining
in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are unduly prejudicial to such holders. 

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is
not inconsistent with such direction or directions by holders. 

  
 38 

 Section 5.10    Waiver Of Past Defaults. Prior to any
acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) as provided in Section 5.1, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time
outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (g) of Section 5.1 (or, in the case of an event specified in clause (d), (e) or
(f) of Section 5.1, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding (voting as one class) may waive any such default or Event of Default), and its consequences except a default (a) in the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any of the Securities or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each
Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series (or of all of the Securities, as the case may be) 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. 
 Upon any such
waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.11    Trustee to Give Notice of Default, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee
shall transmit to the holders of any series, as the names and addresses of such holders appear on the registry books, notice of all defaults which have occurred with respect to such series of which the Trustee has received written notice, such
notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section being hereby
defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any of
the Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking fund payment with respect to such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee
of directors or trustees and/or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of such series. 

Section 5.12    Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, 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; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any holder or group of holders of any series 

  
 39 

 
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d), (e) or (f) of
Section 5.1, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities) outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any Security on or after the due
date expressed in such Security. 
 ARTICLE SIX 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 6.1    Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default. With respect to
the holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with
respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived)
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 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 
 (a)    prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred: 

(i)    the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable 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 conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions which 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; 
 (b)    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; and 

(c)    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 

  
 40 

 
pursuant to Section 5.9 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. 
 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 shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Section 6.2    Certain Rights of the Trustee.
Subject to Section 6.1: 
 (a)    the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document reasonably
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 Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an
assistant secretary of the Issuer; 
 (c)    the Trustee may consult with counsel selected by it in good
faith and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
Counsel; 
 (d)    the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts 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 security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; 
 (e)    the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, 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, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 

  
 41 

 (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 such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder; 
 (h)    the Trustee shall not be charged in the knowledge of any default or Event of Default
with respect to any Securities of any series unless written notice of such default or Event of Default shall have been given to a responsible officer of the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and 

(i)    in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

Section 6.3    Trustee not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds
Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 

Section 6.4    Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc. The Trustee or any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee, 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 the Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, if operative, may
otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. 

Section 6.5    Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4 hereof, 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 mandatory provisions of law.
Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. 

Section 6.6    Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and
agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer
covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it 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 agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order). 

  
 42 

 
The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order) on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or
the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in connection with this transaction. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee
as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium or interest with respect to particular Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto. Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, any
compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified by Section 5.1(e) or (f) is intended to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. 

Section 6.7    Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections
6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts 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 any action hereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered
to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the
faith thereof. 
 Section 6.8    Qualification of Trustee; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or
shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 

Section 6.9    Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for each series hereunder shall at all
times be a person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to act as such and has combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000. If such person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of its 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. 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 6.10. 

Section 6.10    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any
trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one 

  
 43 

 
or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by delivering notice thereof to holders of the applicable series of Securities at their last
addresses as they shall appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed
by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the delivery of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona
fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, 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 of the following shall occur: 

(i)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 6.8 with respect to any series
of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months; or 

(ii)    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Securityholder; or 

(iii)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation; 
 then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable
series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 
 In addition, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with
respect to Securities of any series without cause if the Issuer gives written notice to the Trustee of such proposed removal at least 15 days in advance of the proposed effective date of such removal. 

  
 44 

 (c)    The holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of one or more series (each series voting as a class) or of all series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of the applicable series or of all series, as the case may be, and
appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of the applicable series or of all series, as the case may be, by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in
Section 7.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders. 
 (d)    Any resignation or
removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11. 
 Section 6.11    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor
Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such
series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the
trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder with respect to such series and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee
all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights
and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. 

If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee
and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of
the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such
trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures. 

  
 45 

 No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. 

Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Issuer shall deliver notice thereof to the
holders of Securities of any series for which such successor trustee is acting as trustee at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation,
then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Issuer fails to send such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be sent at the expense of the Issuer. 
 Section 6.12    Merger, Conversion,
Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. 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 corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and
eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9, 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 at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series
shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities
of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have
the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to
authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 

Section 6.13    Preferential Collection Of Claims Against The Issuer. If and when the Trustee shall be or
become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 regarding the collection of claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor). 

ARTICLE SEVEN 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 

Section 7.1    Evidence of Action Taken by holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the holders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar 

  
 46 

 
tenor signed by such specified percentage of holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing, including through an electronic system for tabulating consents operated by the Depositary for
such series or otherwise; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or evidence of electronic consents are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Issuer. Proof of execution of any instrument by a holder or of a writing by such holder appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article. For purposes of determining the principal amount of outstanding Securities of any series the holders of which are required, requested or permitted to give any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other action under the Indenture, each Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be deemed to have a principal amount determined by an Exchange Rate Agent (as evidenced by a
certificate of such Exchange Rate Agent) by converting the principal amount of such Security in the currency in which such Security is denominated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate as of the date of original issuance of such Security. 

Section 7.2    Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 6.1 and
6.2, proof of the execution of any instrument by a holder or his, or its agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture if made in the following manner: 

(a)    The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by
(i) the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction within the United States of America authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof,
or (ii) by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by a person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
contain sufficient proof of his authority. 
 (b)    The holding of Securities shall be proved by the
Security register or by a certificate of any duly appointed registrar thereof. 
 (c)    The Trustee may
require such other proof of any matter referred to in this Section 7.2 as it shall reasonably deem appropriate or necessary. 
 If the
Issuer shall solicit from the holders of Securities of any series any action, the Issuer may, at its option fix in advance a record date for the determination of holders of Securities entitled to take such action, but the Issuer shall have no
obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Issuer’s discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the holders of Securities of record at the close
of business on such record date shall be deemed to be holders of Securities for the purpose of determining whether holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Securities of such series have authorized or agreed or consented to such action,
and for that purpose the outstanding Securities of such series shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by holders

  
 47 

 
of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from setting a new record date
for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Issuer, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee and to each holder of Securities of the relevant series. 

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the
“Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Trustee and to
each holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record
date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. 

Section 7.3    Holders To Be Treated As Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee shall deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any on and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither
the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security. 
 None of the Issuer, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Issuer or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 7.4    Securities Owned By Issuer Deemed
Not Outstanding. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor
on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with
respect to which such determination is being made 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 which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have 

  
 48 

 
been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a
dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s
Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such
Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all securities not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 

Section 7.5    Action of Holders Binding on Future Holders. Any 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 Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon
any such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding
upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities affected by such action. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 

Section 8.1    Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders. The Issuer 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 of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:

 (a)    to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities
any property or assets; 
 (b)    to evidence the succession of another entity to the Issuer, or
successive successions, and the assumption by such successor of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to Article Nine; 

(c)    to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions
for the protection of the holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions 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), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of
all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such 

  
 49 

 
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an
immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series
to waive such an Event of Default; 
 (d)    to cure any ambiguity or inconsistency or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to conform the terms hereof, as amended and
supplemented, that are applicable to the Securities of any series to the description of the terms of such Securities in the offering memorandum, prospectus supplement or other offering document applicable to such Securities at the time of initial
sale thereof; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Issuer may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Securities; 
 (e)    to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities in
coupon form (including Securities registrable as to principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with Securities issued hereunder in fully registered form, and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; 

(f)    to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3, or
to authorize the issuance of additional Securities of a series previously authorized or to add to the conditions, limitations or restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication or delivery of the Securities of any
series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions thereafter to be observed; 

(g)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the
requirements of Section 6.11; 
 (h)    to evidence any changes to this Indenture pursuant to
Sections 6.10, 6.11 or 6.12 hereof as permitted by the terms thereof; 
 (i)    to delete or modify any
Events of Default with respect to any series of the Securities, the form and terms of which are being first established as permitted in Section 2.3 (and, if any such Event of Default is applicable to fewer than all such series of the
Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable), and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities in connection therewith; 

  
 50 

 (j)    to add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture to provide, change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on Securities; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any
material respect; 
 (k)    to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that
any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such
supplemental indenture would apply; 
 (l)    to add to or change or eliminate any provision of this
Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable in accordance with any amendments to the Trust Indenture Act; 

(m)    to add guarantors or co-obligors with respect to any series
of Securities or to release guarantors from their guarantees of Securities in accordance with the terms of the applicable series of Securities; 

(n)    to make any change in any series of Securities that does not adversely affect in any material
respect the rights of the Holders of such Securities; 
 (o)    to provide for uncertificated securities
in addition to certificated securities; 
 (p)    to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture
to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or any other
series of Securities in any material respect; and 
 (q)    to prohibit the authentication and delivery
of additional series of Securities. 
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2. 

Section 8.2    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in
Article Seven) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected by such 

  
 51 

 
supplemental indenture (voting separately), the Issuer 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 of 1939 as in force at the date of execution thereof) 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 the rights of the holders of the Securities of each such series; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall: 

(a)    extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the
maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.1 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.2, or impair or affect the right of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or the right of repayment, if any, at the
option of the holder without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected; or 
 (b)    reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders 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. 
 Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Issuer shall deliver a notice thereof to the holders of Securities of each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry
books of the Issuer, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture. 
 Section 8.3    Trustee Protected. Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by
an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.5 and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of consent of the Holders if the supplemental indenture is to be executed pursuant to Section 8.2, the Trustee
shall join with the Issuer 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. 
 Section 8.4    Effect Of
Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall 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 Issuer and the holders of Securities of each 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. 

  
 52 

 Section 8.5    Documents To Be Given To Trustee. The Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 

Section 8.6    Notation On Securities In Respect Of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture
or as to any action taken at any such meeting. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any modification of this Indenture contained in
any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding. 

ARTICLE NINE 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE 

Section 9.1    Covenant Not To Merge, Consolidate, Sell Or Convey Property Except Under Certain Conditions.
Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation of the Issuer with, or merger of the Issuer into, any other entity or entities (whether or not affiliated with the Issuer), or successive consolidations
or mergers to which the Issuer or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, lease or conveyance of the property of the Issuer as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; provided, however, that either
the Issuer shall be the continuing entity or the successor entity shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia; and provided, further, that the Issuer hereby
covenants and agrees, that upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Issuer, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee, by the
entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Issuer shall have been merged, or which shall have acquired such property, if the Issuer shall not be the surviving entity. 

Section 9.2    Successor Corporation Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, and following such an assumption by the successor entity, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer, with the same effect as if it had been named as the Issuer herein. 

Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer prior to such succession
any or all of the Securities issuable 

  
 53 

 
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor entity, instead of the Issuer, and subject to all the
terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication,
and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as
the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made
in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance by
way of lease) the Issuer or any successor corporation which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be
liquidated and dissolved. 
 Section 9.3    Opinion Of Counsel To Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE TEN 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE AND SECURITIES; 

UNCLAIMED MONEYS 

Section 10.1    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. If at any time (a) the Issuer shall have paid or
caused to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities of any series outstanding hereunder, as and when the same shall have become due and payable or (b) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation all Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9
and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust as provided in Section 3.4) or (c) (i) all the securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and
payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption (including, without limitation, by operation of any mandatory sinking fund) under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption, and (ii) the Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in the currency or currency unit in which such Securities of such series are payable (other
than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Issuer in accordance with Section 10.4) sufficient to pay (without investment or reinvestment of any kind) at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such series not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, 

  
 54 

 
and if, in any such case, the Issuer shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer with respect to Securities of such series, then this Indenture shall cease
to be of further effect with respect to Securities of such series (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of such Securities herein expressly provided for, and the Issuer’s right of optional redemption of such
Securities, (ii) substitution of apparently mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities pursuant to Section 2.9, (iii) rights of the holders to receive payments of principal and premium, if any, thereof and interest thereon as
and when the same shall become due and payable from the trust fund established pursuant to Section 10.1 (c) or Section 10.2, and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any from the trust fund
established pursuant to Section 10.1 (c) or Section 10.2, (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (v) the rights of the holders of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so
deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them), and the Trustee, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series. The Issuer agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities of such series. 

Section 10.2    Defeasance. (A) Subject to Section 10.1, the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Security or Securities outstanding hereunder as and when the same shall have become due and payable, if the Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited in trust with
the Trustee (i) funds in an amount (in such currency, currencies or currency unit or units in which such outstanding Securities are payable) or (ii) in the case of Securities denominated in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined
below) or, in the case of Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency, Foreign Government Securities, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one business
day before the due date of any payment of principal (including any premium) and interest, if any, under such Securities, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination (i) and (ii), sufficient (in the opinion with respect to (ii) and
(iii) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) to pay (without investment or reinvestment of any kind) and discharge each installment of principal of
(including any premium), and interest, if any, on, such outstanding Securities on the dates such installments of interest or principal are due, in the currency, currencies or currency unit or units, in which such Securities are payable, or if the
Securities of such series are to be called for redemption, to pay and discharge the redemption price on the Securities called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. 

Upon receipt by the Trustee of funds, U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Securities, in accordance with this Section,
together with any required documents, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, acknowledge in writing that the Security or Securities or portions thereof with respect to which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all
purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof is deemed to have been satisfied and discharged. 

  
 55 

 (B)    A Security of any particular series may also provide that the Issuer
shall as a condition of effectuating this Section 10.2 have either: 
 (a)    delivered to the
Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) for Federal income tax purposes, the deposit of such cash and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Securities in trust with the Trustee
and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 10.2 will not cause the holders of Securities of such series to recognize income, gain or loss at such time and (2) for
Federal income tax purposes, such holders (and future holders of Securities of such series) will be subject to tax in the same manner as if the events described in the preceding clause (A) had not occurred, and (ii) an undertaking
providing that the Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee on an after-tax basis against any increase in tax liability caused by the defeasance referred to in this Section 10.2 resulting from any change in
Federal, state or local tax law subsequent to the date referred to in the last sentence of paragraph (A) of this Section 10.2 to the extent necessary to retire the Securities of such series as provided in the last sentence of clause
(A) of this Section 10.2; or, in the alternative, or 
 (b)    entered into an undertaking
providing that the Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee and the holders (and future holders) of Securities of such series on an after-tax basis against any increase in tax liability caused by the defeasance
referred to in this Section 10.2. 
 Section 10.3    Application by Trustee of Moneys, U.S. Government

thereupon cease.

prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 until such time as the Trustee is permitted
to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.1 or 10.2; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of (and premium, if any) on
such Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such series of Securities to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
Securities held by the Trustee.

present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture and the Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be
incurred by, any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, because of the incurring of the
indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities, or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, all such liability being expressly
waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 

Section 11.2    Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Securityholders. Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or 

  
 57 

 
be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the holders of the Securities. 

Section 11.3    Successors and Assigns of Issuer Bound by Indenture. All the covenants, stipulations, promises
and agreements in this Indenture contained by or in behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 11.4    Notice And Demands On Issuer, Trustee And Securityholders. Any notice or demand which by any
provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the holders of Securities to or on the Issuer may be given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise
specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC., 7201 Hamilton Boulevard, Allentown, Pennsylvania 18195-1501, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Issuer or any holder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made at the Corporate Trust Office. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid (or, with respect to Global Securities, delivered in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures), to each holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security
register. In any case where notice to holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice
by holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer and
holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where
notice to holders is given by mail; neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders, and any notice that is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf,
facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen
signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee
e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its good faith discretion elects 

  
 58 

 
to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s good faith understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses
arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s good faith reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume
all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee that the Trustee relies on in good faith, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and
the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this
Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event or any other communication (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to
the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary. 

Section 11.5    Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements To Be Contained Therein. Upon
any application or demand by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand
as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 

Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such
person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer,
upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate,
statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. 

  
 59 

 Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. 

Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is
independent. 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified person, it is
not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters
and one or more other such persons as to other matters, and any such person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Where any person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

Section 11.6    Payments Due On Saturdays, Sundays And Holidays. If the date of maturity of interest on or
principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities of any series or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any such Security shall not be a business day at the place or places designated for payment in respect of such Securities, then payment
of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the
period after such date. 
 Section 11.7    Conflict Of Any Provision Of Indenture With Trust Indenture Act Of
1939. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, which is required under such Act to be part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 11.8    New York Law To Govern; Waiver of Trial by Jury; Submission to New York Jurisdiction. This
Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of
law. 
 EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A SECURITY BY ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. 

  
 60 

 Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State court
sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture and the
Securities, and irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. 

Section 11.9    Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

Section 11.10    Effect Of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the
Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

Section 11.11    Moneys Of Different Currencies To Be Segregated. The Trustee shall segregate all moneys,
funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder in one currency from any money, funds or accounts in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision herein which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such amounts. 

Section 11.12    Payment To Be In Proper Currency. Each reference in any Security, or in the resolution of the
Board of Directors, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture relating thereto, to any currency shall be of the essence. Except as provided in Section 2.13, the obligation of the Issuer to make any payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on any Security shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Issuer, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Specified Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in
a currency other than the Specified Currency, the Trustee may (but shall not be required to) take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Specified Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including
without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Specified Currency then due and payable, and in no
circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor. The Issuer hereby waives any defense of payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Specified Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Specified Currency by the Trustee is
less than the full amount of Specified Currency then due and payable. 
 Any costs incurred by or on behalf of the Issuer (other than costs
incurred by the Trustee that are passed on to the Issuer as provided above) in connection with the conversion of any Foreign Currency to Dollars pursuant to an election made by a holder in accordance with Section 2.13 shall be borne by the
holder making such an election through deduction from payments required to be made to such holder pursuant to the terms of the Security or this Indenture. 

Section 11.13    Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 11.14    Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, 

  
 61 

 
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted
practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

Section 11.15    FATCA. In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of
directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Law”), the Issuer agrees upon written request from the Trustee (i) to provide to the Trustee such
reasonable information as it has in its possession about holders or other applicable parties so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law, (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any
withholding or deduction from payments under the Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law for which the Trustee shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the
actions it takes to comply with such Applicable Law. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS 

Section 12.1    Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for Securities of such series. 

Section 12.2    Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the holders of Securities
of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be given by delivering notice of such redemption, at least 15 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee) to such holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Failure to deliver notice
or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. 

The notice of redemption to each such holder shall specify (a) the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or other similar
numbers, if available along with the statement in Section 2.15), (b) the date fixed for redemption, (c) the redemption price, (d) the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
Securities, (e) that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, (f) such election by the Issuer to redeem Securities of such series pursuant to provisions contained in this
Indenture or the terms of the Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing such series, if such be the case, (g) that interest accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said
notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to 

  
 62 

 
accrue and (h) the applicable conditions to such redemption, if any. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, 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. 
 The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or,
at the Issuer’s written request, by the Trustee for such series in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. 
 On or prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying
agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together
with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If less than all the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption
(unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected in the case of Global
Securities, in accordance with the process and procedures of the Depositary and, in all other cases, pro rata or by lot. Securities may be redeemed in part in an amount equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or
any integral multiple thereof. In any case where more than one Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Security of such series. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 12.3    Payment of Securities
Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities 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, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest
accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 10.4, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to
be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed
for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, said Securities or 

  
 63 

 
the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for
redemption; provided that any payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of
Section 2.7 hereof. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal
and premium, if any, thereof shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Discount Security) borne by the Security. 

Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency of the Issuer as is
specified in the notice of redemption with, if the Issuer, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the
holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of
such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so presented; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the
case of a Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the redeemed
portion thereof. 
 Section 12.4    Exclusion of Certain Securities From Eligibility For Selection For
Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an Officer of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at least
10 days (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or
(b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer. 

Section 12.5    Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 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.” The last date on which a sinking fund payment may be made in each year is herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date.” 

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at
its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not

  
 64 

 
previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, or
(b) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant
to the terms of such Securities. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received and credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities. 

On or before the 45th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee a written
statement (which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.5) signed by an Officer of the Issuer (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be
satisfied by delivery and credit of Securities of such series, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series to be delivered and credited has theretofore been so delivered and credited, (c) stating that no Events of Default with
respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if
so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in
order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such written statement (or reasonably
promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on
or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 45th day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall
constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to
deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section. 

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund
payments made in funds shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Issuer shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such funds shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of
Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in
excess of $50,000 is available. Securities shall be selected, in the manner provided in Section 12.2, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date so that a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series shall absorb said funds,
as nearly as may be, and the Trustee shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer
(or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.2 (and with the effect

  
 65 

 
provided in Section 12.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the
redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.4. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the
stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if
necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity. 

On or prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all
interest accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date. 
 The
Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or send any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of
interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the sending of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it
shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the
sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all Securities of such series. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as
