 ARTICLE 2 
 ISSUE, DESCRIPTION, EXECUTION, REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF 
 DEBENTURES 
 Section 2.01 Designation Amount and Issue of Debentures. The Debentures shall be designated as “5.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due
2029.” Upon the execution of this Indenture, and from time to time thereafter, Debentures may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Debentures upon a
written order of the Issuer, such order signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer of the General Partner or any Assistant Secretary of the General Partner, without any further action by the Issuer hereunder.

 The aggregate principal amount of Debentures which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited; provided that
upon initial issuance (including any issuance upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers’ option set forth in Section 2(b) of the Purchase Agreement), the aggregate principal amount of Debentures outstanding shall not exceed $266,400,000,
except as provided in Section 2.06. The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders of Debentures, issue additional Debentures (the “Additional Debentures”) from time to time in the future with the same terms and the same CUSIP
number as the Debentures originally issued under this Indenture (the “Initial Debentures”) in an unlimited principal amount, provided that such Additional Debentures must be part of the same issue as and fungible with the Initial
Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Debentures and any such Additional Debentures will constitute a single series of debt securities, and in circumstances in which this Indenture provides for the Holders of
Debentures to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Debentures and the Holders of any such Additional Debentures will vote or take that action as a single class. 
 Section 2.02 Form of Debentures. The Debentures, the Guarantee and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Debentures
shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent
applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 Any of the Debentures may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depository or as may be required for the Debentures to be tradable on any market existing or
developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Debentures may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Debentures are subject. 
 So long as the Debentures are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depository, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by
Section 2.05(b), all of the Debentures will be represented by one or more Debentures in global form registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository (a “Global Debenture”). The transfer and exchange of
beneficial interests in any such Global Debenture shall be effected through the Depository in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depository. 

  

 9 

 
Except as provided in Section 2.05(b), beneficial owners of a Global Debenture shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names,
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Debenture. 
 Any Global Debenture shall represent such of the outstanding Debentures as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, exchanges, or transfers permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Debenture to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Debentures represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of
such Debentures in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on any Global Debenture shall be made to the Holder of such Debenture. 
 Section 2.03 Date and Denomination of Debentures; Payments of Interest. The Debentures shall be issuable in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A
hereto. Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Person in
whose name any Debenture (or its Predecessor Debenture) is registered on the Debenture Register at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
interest payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Debenture or portion thereof surrendered for exchange during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the applicable interest payment date must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal
amount being exchanged; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder exchanges its Debentures in connection with a redemption and the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to
the related interest payment date, (2) if a Holder exchanges its Debentures in connection with a Designated Event and the Issuer has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the related
interest payment date, (3) in respect of exchanges that occur after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect
to such Debenture. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purposes in the City of Minneapolis, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Issuer shall pay interest (i) on
any Debentures in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Debenture Register; provided, however, that a Holder of any Debentures in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of
more than $2.0 million may specify by written notice to the Issuer that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Debentureholder in such notice, or (ii) on any Global Debenture by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the account of 

  

 10 

 
the Depository or its nominee. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest
shall accrue thereon. The term “Record Date” with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the April 1 or October 1 preceding the applicable April 15 or October 15 interest payment date, respectively. 

Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any April 15 or October 15 (herein
called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause
(a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Debenture and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such
notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less
than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record date and, in the name
and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be sent by electronic transmission or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address
as it appears in the Debenture Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such special record date (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special
record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special record date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b) of this Section 2.03. 
 (b) The Issuer may make
payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Debentures may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  

 11 

 Section 2.04 Execution of Debentures. The Debentures shall be signed in the name and on
behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed
manually or by facsimile by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the
Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Debenture executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture. 
 In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Debentures shall cease to be such Officer before the Debentures so
signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Debentures nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Debentures had not ceased to be such
Officer, and any Debenture may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debenture, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not
such an Officer. 
 Section 2.05 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debentures; Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Debenture Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall
provide for the registration of Debentures and of transfers of Debentures. The Debenture Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being exchanged into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Debenture Registrar” for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfers of Debentures as herein provided. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 4.02. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Debenture to the Debenture Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for
such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Debentures of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. 
 Debentures may be exchanged for
other Debentures of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Debentures to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Debentures
are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debentures which the Debentureholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
  

 12 

 All Debentures issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Debentures shall be the valid
obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Debentures surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 All Debentures presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, or repurchase shall (if so required by the Issuer or
the Debenture Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and the Debentures shall be duly executed by the Debentureholder thereof or its attorney duly
authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made to any Holder for any registration of, transfer or exchange of Debentures, but the
Issuer may require payment by the Holder 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 Debentures. 
 In the event of any redemption in part, the Issuer shall not be required to: (i) issue or register the transfer or exchange of any Debenture during
a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Debentures for redemption and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders
of Debentures to be so redeemed, or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Debenture so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Debenture being redeemed in part. 
 (b) The following provisions shall apply only to Global Debentures: 
 (i) Each Global Debenture authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee thereof and
delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and each such Global Debenture shall constitute a single Debenture for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Debenture may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debentures
registered, and no transfer of a Global Debenture in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depository or a nominee thereof unless (1) the Depository (x) has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depository for such Global Debenture or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depository has not been appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) calendar days,
(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (3) the Issuer, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the Debentures represented by Global Debentures. Any Global Debenture
exchanged pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Debenture exchanged pursuant to clause (3) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the
Issuer. Any Debenture issued in exchange for a Global Debenture or any portion thereof shall be a Global Debenture; provided that any such Debenture so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository or a nominee thereof
shall not be a Global Debenture. 
  

 13 

 (iii) Debentures issued in exchange for a Global Debenture or any portion thereof
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Debenture or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be
registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Debenture to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, as
Debenture Registrar. With regard to any Global Debenture to be exchanged in part, either such Global Debenture shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as Custodian for the Depository or its nominee with respect to such
Global Debenture, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Debenture issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depository or an authorized representative thereof. 
 (iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Issuer will promptly make available to
the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Debentures in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons. 
 (v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Debenture
registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, and the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such
Global Debenture for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Debenture. 
 (vi) At such time as all interests in a Global Debenture have been
redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, or canceled for Debentures in certificated form, such Global Debenture shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depository
and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Debenture is redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, or canceled 

  

 14 

 
for Debentures in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Debenture shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions
existing between the Depository and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Debenture, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction. 
 (c) Every Debenture (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) that bears or is required under this
Section 2.05(c) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (the “Restricted Debentures Legend”), and any Common Stock that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the Common Stock legend set forth
in this Section 2.05(c) (the “Common Stock Legend”) (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including those set forth in the
legends below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Issuer, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Debenture Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on
transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(c), the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein. 
 Until the Maturity Date for the Debentures any certificate evidencing a Restricted Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, or
unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee: 
 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES (1) THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER, DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. OR A SUBSIDIARY OF THE ISSUER; OR (B) TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE
144A ADOPTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AND TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH
RULE 144A (IF AVAILABLE). 
 Each stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon exchange of any Debenture, shall bear
a Common Stock Legend unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee: 
 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES 

  

 15 

 
ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES
(1) THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER OR A SUBSIDIARY OF THE ISSUER; (B) UNDER A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;
(C) TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A ADOPTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AND
TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A (IF AVAILABLE); OR (D) UNDER ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; AND
(2) THAT IT WILL, PRIOR TO ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, FURNISH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND THE ISSUER SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 Any such shares of Common
Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Common Stock Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear
the Common Stock Legend required by this Section 2.05(c). 
 (d) By its acceptance of any Debenture bearing the
Restricted Debentures Legend, each Holder of such Debenture acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Debenture set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Debentures Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Debenture only as
provided in this Indenture and as permitted by applicable law. 
 (e) Any Restricted Securities purchased or owned by the
Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Issuer or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results
in such Debentures or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144). 
 (f) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depository or its nominee or
of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Debentures or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice 

  

 16 

 
(including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Debentures. All notices and communications to be given to
the Debentureholders and all payments to be made to Debentureholders under the Debentures shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Debentureholders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global
Debenture). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Debenture shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the customary procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Agent Members. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Debenture (including any transfers between or among Agent Members in any Global
Indenture) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Debentures. In case any Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery, a new Debenture, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In
every case, the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss,
liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof. 
 Following receipt by the Trustee or
such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and make available
for delivery such Debenture. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or has been properly tendered for repurchase on a Designated Event Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn) or has
been tendered for repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn), as the case may be, or is to be exchanged pursuant to this Indenture, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute
Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to
the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection 

  

 17 

 
with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, any
Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof. 
 Every substitute Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Debenture is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not
the destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures
duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or redemption or repurchase
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or
redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 Section 2.07 Temporary
Debentures. Pending the preparation of Debentures in certificated form, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary
Debentures (printed or lithographed). Temporary Debentures shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Debentures in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially
the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Debentures in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Debentures in certificated form and thereupon any or all
temporary Debentures may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Debentures in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Cancellation of Debentures. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, exchange or
registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any paying agent to whom Debentures may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) or Exchange Agent, which shall initially be the Trustee, or any Debenture Registrar, be
surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.
The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Debentures in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Debentures, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  

 18 

 Section 2.09 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Debentures may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Debentureholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debentures or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debentures, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF DEBENTURES 
 Section 3.01 Optional Redemption of Debentures. 
 (a) The Issuer shall have the
right to redeem the Debentures for cash, in whole or in part, (i) prior to April 18, 2014, if the Issuer determines it is necessary to redeem the Debentures in order to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a real estate investment trust
and (ii) at any time or from time to time, on or after April 18, 2014, in each case upon the notice set forth in Section 3.02 at a redemption price (“Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures
to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will
pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Debentures for redemption) and the
Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption by the Issuer pursuant to clause (i) in this Section 3.01(a), the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing that the Board of Directors has, in good faith, made the determination that it is necessary to redeem the Debentures in order to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a real estate investment trust.

 (b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.01(a) on any date if the principal amount of the
Debentures has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to
the Debentures to be redeemed). 
 Section 3.02 Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Debentures. In case the Issuer shall
desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five
(5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail or cause to be mailed,

  

 19 

 
or sent by electronic transmission a notice of such redemption not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days
prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Debentures so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Debenture Register; provided that if the Issuer makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with
such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Issuer. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or sent by electronic transmission. The notice, if
sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debenture
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debenture. Concurrently with the sending of any such notice of redemption, the Issuer shall issue a press release
announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the redemption
notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Debenture called for redemption. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Debentures being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which
Debentures are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, (iv) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid
as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, (vii) that the Holder has a right to exchange the Debentures called for redemption, (viii) the
Exchange Rate on the date of such notice and (ix) the time and date on which the right to exchange such Debentures or portions thereof pursuant to this Indenture will expire. If fewer than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice of
redemption shall identify the Debentures to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Debenture 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 Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 Whenever any Debentures are to be redeemed, the Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officers’
Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date. 
 On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Issuer will deposit with the
Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the
Debentures (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for exchange) at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying
Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield 

  

 20 

 
or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price. If
any Debenture called for redemption is exchanged pursuant hereto prior to such Redemption Date, any money deposited with the Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Debenture shall be paid to the Issuer or, if then
held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust. 
 If less than all of the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select the Debentures or portions thereof of the Global Debenture or the Debentures in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate or is required by the Depository. If any Debenture selected for redemption is submitted for exchange in part after such selection, the portion of such Debenture submitted for exchange shall be deemed (so far as may be possible)
to be the portion to be selected for redemption. The Debentures (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Debenture is submitted for exchange
in part before the mailing of the notice of redemption. 
 Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Debentures, the Issuer and
the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Debentures that are unexchanged and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Debentures surrendered for exchange during the
period of fifteen (15) calendar days preceding the sending of a notice of redemption and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Debenture authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unexchanged portion of any
Debenture exchanged in part during such period. 
 Section 3.03 Payment of Debentures Called for Redemption by the Issuer. If
notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debentures or portion of Debentures with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless exchanged pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the
Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the Redemption Price, interest on the Debentures or portion of Debentures so called
for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and, after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price) such Debentures shall cease to be exchangeable pursuant to this Indenture and, except as provided in Section 7.05 and Section 11.02, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have
no right in respect of such Debentures except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Debentures or the specified portions thereof
shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 Upon presentation of any Debenture redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Debenture or Debentures, of
authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debentures so presented. 
  

 21 

 Section 3.04 Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Debentures.

 Section 3.05 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Designated Event. 
 (a) If there shall occur a Designated Event at any time prior to maturity of the Debentures, then each Debentureholder shall have the
right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to repurchase all of such Holder’s Debentures, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, in cash, on a date (the “Designated Event Repurchase
Date”) specified by the Issuer, which may be no earlier than fifteen (15) days and no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Issuer Repurchase Notice related to such Designated Event, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Debentures being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Designated Event Repurchase Date; provided, however, that if the Designated Event Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or
prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date, and the
repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased. 
 (b) On or before the tenth
calendar day after the occurrence of a Designated Event, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) to all Holders of record on the date of the Designated Event (and to beneficial owners as required by
applicable law) an Issuer Repurchase Notice as set forth in Section 3.07 with respect to such Designated Event. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of the Issuer Repurchase Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is
mailed to Debentureholders. In addition to the mailing of such Issuer Repurchase Notice, the Issuer shall disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News announcing the occurrence of such Designated
Event or publish such information in The Wall Street Journal or another newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or on the Guarantor’s website, or through such other public medium as the Issuer shall deem appropriate at such
time. 
 No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Debentureholders’ repurchase
rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.05. 
 (c) For a Debenture to be repurchased at the option of the Holder pursuant to this Section 3.05, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately prior to the
Designated Event Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice of repurchase (the “Designated Event Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture duly completed (if the Debenture is certificated) or stating the
following (if the Debenture is represented by a Global Debenture): (A) the certificate number of the Debenture that the Holder will deliver to be repurchased (if the Debenture is certificated) or that the relevant Designated Event Repurchase
Notice complies with the appropriate Depository procedures (if the Debenture is represented by a Global Debenture), (B) the portion of the principal amount 

  

 22 

 
of the Debenture which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000
(provided that the remaining principal amount of Debentures not subject to repurchase must be in an authorized denomination) and (C) that such Debenture shall be repurchased as of the Designated Event Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in the Debenture and in this Indenture; together with (ii) such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer (if the Debenture is certificated) or book-entry transfer of such Debenture (if such Debenture is represented by a Global
Debenture). The delivery of such Debenture to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the
Holder of the repurchase price therefore; provided, however, that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.05 only if the Debentures so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description
thereof in the Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Debenture for repurchase shall be determined by the Issuer, whose determination shall be final and binding absent any
manifest error. 
 (d) The Issuer, if so requested, shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this
Section 3.05, a portion of a Debenture, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Debenture also apply to the repurchase of such
portion of such Debenture. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Debentures may be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to
this Section 3.05 if the principal amount of the Debentures has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured, on or prior to the relevant Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default
by the Issuer in the payment of the repurchase price pursuant to this Section 3.05 with respect to the Debentures to be repurchased). 
 (f) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof. 
 Any repurchase by the Issuer contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration
to be received by the Holder (i) on the Designated Event Repurchase Date if the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debentures to the Paying Agent is effected prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Designated
Event Repurchase Date, and (ii) if delivered later, within two (2) Business Days following the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debenture. Payment of the repurchase price for a Debenture for which a Repurchase Notice has
been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debentures, together with necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent. 
 Section 3.06 Repurchase of Debentures at the Option of Holders. 
 (a) Each
Debentureholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to repurchase all of such Holder’s Debentures, or any portion thereof 

  

 23 

 
that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, in cash, on April 15, 2014, April 15, 2019, and April 15, 2024 (each, a “Repurchase
Date”), at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that if the Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date
and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date
and the repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased. 
 (b) On or before the
twentieth (20th) Business Day immediately preceding each Repurchase Date, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent to all Holders of record on such date (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) an Issuer Repurchase Notice as
set forth in Section 3.07. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of the Issuer Repurchase Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is sent to Debentureholders. In addition to the mailing of such Issuer Repurchase Notice, the
Issuer shall disseminate a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News containing the information specified in such notice or publish such information in The Wall Street Journal or another newspaper of general
circulation in The City of New York or on the Guarantor’s website, or through such other public medium as the Issuer shall deem appropriate at such time. No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit
the Debentureholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.06. 
 (c) For a Debenture to be so repurchased at the option of the Holder pursuant to this Section 3.06, the Holder must deliver to the
Paying Agent, during the period beginning at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days prior to the applicable Repurchase Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
immediately prior to the applicable Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice of repurchase (the “Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debenture duly completed (if the Debenture is certificated) or stating the
following (if the Debenture is represented by a Global Debenture): (A) the certificate number of the Debenture which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased (if the Debenture is certificated) or that the relevant Repurchase Notice complies
with the appropriate Depository procedures (if the Debenture is represented by Global Debenture), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Debenture which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal
amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that the remaining principal amount of Debentures not subject to repurchase must be in an integral multiple of $1,000) and (C) that such Debenture shall be repurchased as of the
Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Debenture and in this Indenture; together with (ii) such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer (if the Debenture is certificated) or book entry transfer of such Debenture (if
such Debenture is represented by a Global Debenture). The delivery of such Debenture to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall
be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefore; 

  

 24 

 
provided, however, that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.06 only if the Debentures so delivered to the Paying Agent
shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Debenture for repurchase shall be determined by the Issuer, whose
determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error. 
 (d) The Issuer, if so requested, shall repurchase from the
Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.06, a portion of a Debenture, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Debenture also apply
to the repurchase of such portion of such Debenture. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Debentures may be repurchased by
the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.06 if the principal amount of the Debentures has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured, on or prior to the relevant Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration
resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the repurchase price pursuant to this Section 3.06 with respect to the Debentures to be repurchased). 
 (f) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof. 
 Any repurchase by the Issuer contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be consummated by the
delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (i) on the Repurchase Date if the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debentures to the Paying Agent is effected prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Repurchase Date, and (ii) if delivered later, within two (2) Business Days following the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debenture. Payment of the repurchase price for a Debenture for which a Repurchase Notice has been
delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of the Debentures, together with necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent. 
 Section 3.07 Issuer Repurchase Notice. 
 (a) The Issuer Repurchase Notice, as
provided in Section 3.07(b), shall be given to Holders in the event of a Designated Event, on or before the tenth calendar day after the occurrence of such a Designated Event as provided in Section 3.05(b) or not less than twenty
(20) Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date as provided in Section 3.06(b) (in either case, the “Issuer Repurchase Notice Date”). 
 (b) In connection with any repurchase of Debentures, the Issuer shall, on the applicable Issuer Repurchase Notice Date, give written notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) setting forth information specified
in this Section (in either case, the “Issuer Repurchase Notice”). 
 Each Issuer Repurchase Notice shall: 
 (i) state the repurchase price, and the Designated Event Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date to which the relevant Issuer Repurchase
Notice relates; 
  

 25 

 (ii) state, if applicable, the circumstances constituting the Designated Event;

 (iii) state that Holders must exercise their right to elect to repurchase prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
second Business Day immediately prior to the Repurchase Date or the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, as the case may be; 
 (iv) include a form of Repurchase Notice; 
 (v) state the name and address of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and, if applicable, the Exchange Agent; 
 (vi) state that Debentures must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the repurchase price; 
 (vii) state that a Holder may withdraw its Repurchase Notice or the Designated Event Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Repurchase Date, or
on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, as the case may be, by delivering a valid written notice of withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.08; 
 (viii) if the Debentures are then exchangeable, state that Debentures as to which a Repurchase Notice or the Designated Event Repurchase
Notice, as the case may be, has been given may be exchanged only if the Repurchase Notice or Designated Event Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (ix) state the amount of interest accrued and unpaid per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures to, but excluding, the Designated Event
Repurchase Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be; 
 (x) state that, unless the Issuer defaults in making payment of the
repurchase price, interest on Debentures covered by any Repurchase Notice or Designated Event Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after the Designated Event Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be;

 (xi) state the CUSIP number of the Debentures, if CUSIP numbers are then in use; and 
  

 26 

 (xii) state the procedures for withdrawing a Repurchase Notice or Designated Event
Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, including a form of notice of withdrawal (as specified in Section 3.08). 
 An Issuer Repurchase
Notice may be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give such Issuer Repurchase Notice in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided that the text of the Issuer Repurchase Notice shall be
prepared by the Issuer. 
 If any of the Debentures is represented by a Global Debenture, then the Issuer will modify such Issuer Repurchase
Notice to the extent necessary to accord with the applicable procedures of the Depository that apply to the repurchase of Global Debentures. 
 (c) The Issuer will, to the extent applicable, comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of the repurchase of the

 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) occurs with respect to the
Issuer, the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Debentures shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action. 
 If, at any time after the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures shall have been so declared due and payable, and before
any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the

the Trustee all required payments of the principal of and interest on, the debentures, plus the reasonable compensation and reimbursement for the Trustee’s expenses, disbursements and advances pursuant to Section 7.06. No such rescission
and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Issuer shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of
any Event of Default, as provided in Section 4.08. 
  

 35 

 In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders of Debentures, and the
Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders of Debentures, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

 Section 6.02 Payments of Debentures on Default; Suit Therefor. The Issuer covenants that in the case of an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Debentures, (i) the whole amount that then shall be due and payable on all such Debentures for
principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of
accrued and unpaid interest at the rate borne by the Debentures, plus 1%, from the required payment date and, (ii) in addition thereto, any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures to the registered Holders, whether or not the Debentures are 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 actions or proceedings at law or in equity for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Debentures and collect in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Debentures wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. 
 In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Debentures under any Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable 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 such other obligor, the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, or
in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or such other obligor upon the Debentures, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Debentures
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Debentures, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Debentureholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Debentures,
its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other 

  

 36 

 
property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06,
and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any
receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Debentureholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such
distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be
paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property which the Holders of the Debentures may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or
otherwise. 
 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debentures, may be enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Debentures, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debentures.

 In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in 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 Debentures, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Debentures parties to any such proceedings. 
 Section 6.03 Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, shall be applied, in
the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Debentures, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;

any, on the Debentures 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) as provided in Section 6.02 upon the overdue installments of
interest at the annual rate of 1% above then applicable interest rate, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; 
 THIRD: In case the principal of the outstanding Debentures shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debentures for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, with interest on the

of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures, unless (a) such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, (b) the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the

discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding
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 6.06 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by
this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Debentures, by
judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

 Section 6.07 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Debentureholders. The Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures 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

may decline to take any action that would benefit some Debentureholders to the detriment of other Debentureholders and (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Debentures,
waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium,
if any, or interest on the Debentures, (ii) a failure by the Issuer to exchange any Debentures as required by this Indenture, (iii) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date pursuant to Article 3, (iv) a
default in the payment of the repurchase price on the Designated Event Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date pursuant to Article 3 or (v) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holders of all Debentures then outstanding or each Debenture affected thereby. 
  

 39 

 Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debentures shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as
permitted by this Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debentures and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.08 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within
ninety (90) calendar days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of the occurrence of a default, mail to all Debentureholders (or send by electronic transmission), as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the
Debenture Register, notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of
(including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), or interest on any of the Debentures, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Debentureholders. 
 Section 6.09 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debenture by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion,
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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 that the provisions of this Section 6.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of
Debentureholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of
the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), or interest on any Debenture on or after the due date expressed in such Debenture or to any suit for the

Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default 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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. 
  

 40 

 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 and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: 
 (i) the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, 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 and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith and willful misconduct 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
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions 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 Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(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
written direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 8.04 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;

matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) or any records maintained by any co-registrar (other than the Trustee) with respect to the Debentures; 
 (f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent
to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee has otherwise
received written notice thereof; and 
  

 41 

 (g) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee shall have been notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Issuer or a Holder of Debentures. 
 None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. 
 Section 7.02 Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, Debenture, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties;

expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee 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 the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by
agent or attorney; 
 (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; 
  

 42 

 (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (h) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of
its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 
 (i) the Trustee may request
that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by
any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and 
 (j) any permissive right or authority granted to the Trustee shall not be construed as a mandatory duty. 
 Section 7.03 No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debentures (except in the Trustee’s
certificate 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 representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of
the Debentures. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any Debentures or the proceeds of any Debentures authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

 Section 7.04 Trustee, Paying Agents, Exchange Agents or Registrar May Own Debentures. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the
Exchange Agent or Debenture Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, exchange agent, Exchange Agent or Debenture
Registrar. 
 Section 7.05 Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, all monies received by
the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee. 
 Section 7.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as 

  

 43 

 
mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee), in any capacity under this Indenture and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or reasonable expense including taxes
(other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder
or any other Person) of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall be
secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Debentures. The obligation of the Issuer under this
Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur
expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) with respect to the Issuer occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute reasonable expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 
 Section 7.07 Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder,
such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee. 
 Section 7.08 Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust
Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
 Section 7.09 Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed 

  

 44 

 
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 7.10 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may at any time
resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and to the Holders of Debentures. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by
order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty
(60) calendar days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Debentureholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and the Debentureholders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or
may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, subject
to the provisions of Section 6.09, on behalf of itself 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 Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Debentureholder who has
been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months; or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Debentureholder; or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 
 then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of
Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or
Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that if no successor
Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) calendar days after either the Issuer or the Debentureholders has removed the Trustee, or the Trustee resigns, the Trustee so removed may 

  

 45 

 
petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 
 (c) Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

 (d) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under
Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.11 Acceptance by Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge 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 shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. 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 lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds
held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Debentures, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. 
 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and be
eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 7.11, the Issuer (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Debentures at
their addresses as they shall appear on the Debenture Register. If the Issuer fails to send such notice within ten (10) calendar 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 7.12 Succession by Merger. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
exchanged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, exchange or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business
of the Trustee (including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties 

  

 46 

 
hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation
shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. 
 In case at the time
such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Debentures shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Debentures so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debentures shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any
authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Debentures in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Debentures or in this
Indenture; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Debentures in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, exchange or
consolidation. 
 Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Debentures), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor). 
 ARTICLE 8 
 THE DEBENTUREHOLDERS 
 Section 8.01 Action by Debentureholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders
of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Debentureholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of
the Holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Debentureholders, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Debentureholders. Whenever the Issuer or the Trustee
solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Debentures, the Issuer or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation a date as the Record Date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The Record Date, if any, shall be
not more than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action. 
 Section 8.02 Proof
of Execution by Debentureholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Debentures shall be proved by the registry of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar. 
  

 47 

 Section 8.03 Absolute Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any exchange agent
and any Debenture Registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the Debenture Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Issuer or any Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or
repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium, if any, and interest on such Debenture, for exchange of such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any
exchange agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Debenture. 
 Section 8.04 Issuer-owned Debentures
Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Debentures which are owned by the Issuer or any
other obligor on the Debentures or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Debentures which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debentures and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, any other
obligor on the Debentures or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the
Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Debentures, 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 Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Debentures not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination. 
 Section 8.05 Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing
to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debenture
which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such
Debenture and of any Debentures issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture or any Debenture issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

the General Partner’s Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Debentureholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with
the Issuer and the Guarantor 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. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Debentureholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
 Section 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 shall comply
with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 9.03 shall not require such supplemental indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in
fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental indenture that any such
qualification is required prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture

supplemental indenture may, at the Issuer’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.11) and delivered in exchange for
the Debentures then outstanding, upon surrender of such Debentures then outstanding.

or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the
Issuer herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Debentures.

any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Guarantor to any Person in accordance with Section 10.04, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is
merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been
named as the Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made
in the Debentures thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
  

 53

covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed. Upon any such assumption, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this
Indenture with the same effect as if the Guarantor or such Subsidiary had been named as the Issuer herein and the Issuer shall be released from all obligations and covenants with respect to the Debentures. No such assumption shall be permitted
unless the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate of the Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption and supplemental indenture comply with this Article 10, and that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and that, in the event of assumption by a Subsidiary, the Guarantee and all other covenants of the Guarantor herein remain in full force and effect and (ii) an
opinion of independent counsel that the Holders of Debentures shall have no materially adverse United States federal tax consequences as a result of such assumption, and that, if any Debentures are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, that

 ARTICLE 11 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
 Section 11.01 Discharge of
Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of exchange, registration of transfer or exchange of Debentures herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below), and the
Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) either: (1) all Debentures theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Debentures which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 11.04 and (ii) Debentures for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to
the Issuer as provided in Section 11.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (2) all such Debentures not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, whether at the
Maturity Date, Repurchase Date or Designated Event Repurchase Date or upon exchange or otherwise, or (ii) are to be called for redemption under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in
the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee a Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent (other than the
Issuer or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, as trust funds in trust cash and/or shares of Common Stock (as applicable under the terms of the Indenture) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Debentures not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Debentures which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Designated Event
Repurchase Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that there shall not exist, on the date of such deposit, a default or Event of Default; provided, further, that such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or to which the Issuer is bound; (b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all 

  

 54 

 
other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer; and (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 3.05, 3.06, 5.01, Article 13 and this Article 11, shall survive until the Debentures have been paid in full. 
 Section 11.02 Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 11.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.05 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Debentureholders, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer if acting as its own Paying
Agent), to the Holders of the particular Debentures for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest. All moneys deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Debentures subsequently exchanged shall be returned to the Issuer upon request. The Trustee is not responsible to anyone for interest on any
deposited funds except as agreed in writing. 
 Section 11.03 Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Subject to the provisions of
Section 11.04, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Debentureholders, all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.01 and shall apply the deposited money in accordance with this Indenture and the
Debentures to the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3) and interest on the Debentures.

the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may, at the expense of the
Issuer, either publish in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York, or cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at
least thirty (30) calendar days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to money must look to the Issuer for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be relieved of all liability with respect to such money. 
 Section 11.05 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 11.02 by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Debentures shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 11.02; provided 

  

 55 

 
that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Debenture following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debentures to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Debentures. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 EXCHANGE OF DEBENTURES 

Section 13.01 Right to Exchange. 
 (a) Subject to the restrictions on ownership of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.11 and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, on or prior to the close of business on the second
scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Debentures not previously redeemed or repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange its Debentures, or any portion thereof which is a
multiple of $1,000, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be exchanged divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Exchange Rate. 
 (b) A Debenture in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Designated Event Repurchase Notice or Repurchase Notice, as the case may be,
exercising such Holder’s right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Debenture pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.06 may be exchanged only if such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.07 prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Repurchase Date or on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, as applicable. 
 (c) A Holder of Debentures is not entitled to any rights of a Holder of Common Stock until such Holder has exchanged its Debentures and
received upon exchange thereof shares of Common Stock. 
  

 56 

 Section 13.02 Exercise of Exchange Right; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. In order
to exercise the exchange right with respect to any Debenture in certificated form, the Issuer must receive at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis or, at the option of such Holder, the Corporate
Trust Office, such Debenture with the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Exchange Notice” on the reverse thereof, duly completed and signed manually or by facsimile, together with such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer,
accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 13.02. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable on such
exchange shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 13.06. 
 To exchange
the Debentures, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the Exchange Notice on the reverse of the Debenture (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Exchange Agent at the office maintained
by the Exchange Agent for such purpose, (b) with respect to Debentures that are in certificated form, surrender the Debentures to the Exchange Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Exchange
Agent and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the date on which the applicable Debentures shall have been tendered for exchange. 
 Whether the Debentures to be exchanged are held in book-entry or certificated form, the Exchange Notice will require the Holder to certify that it or the
Person on whose behalf the Debentures are being exchanged is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
 Debentures in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice or a Designated Event Repurchase Notice may be exchanged only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 or
Section 3.06, as the case may be. 
 Upon surrender of a Debenture for exchange by a Holder, such Holder shall deliver to the Issuer
cash equal to the amount that the Issuer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law in connection with the exchange; provided, however, if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the Issuer may deduct and withhold from the amount of
consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law. 
 As promptly as
practicable (but no later than the fifth Business Day following the Exchange Date), after satisfaction of the requirements for exchange set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on exchange are to be
issued in a name other than that of the Debentureholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Debenture or Debentures (or portion thereof) so exchanged), and in accordance with the time periods set forth in this Article 13, the Issuer shall
issue and shall deliver to such Debentureholder at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exchange of such Debenture or portion thereof as determined by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.01 and 13.10 and (ii) a check or cash in respect of any fractional 

  

 57 

 
interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such exchange, calculated by the Issuer as provided in Section 13.03. The certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures are exchanged (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) will be delivered to an exchanging holder after satisfaction of the requirements for exchange set forth above,
in accordance with this Section 13.02 and, if applicable, 13.10. 
 Each exchange shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such
Debenture (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 13.02 have been satisfied as to such Debenture (or portion thereof) (the “Exchange Date”), and the Person in whose name any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exchange shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided that any such surrender on any date when the
stock transfer books of the Guarantor shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open,
but such exchange shall be at the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date. 
 Any Debenture or portion thereof surrendered for exchange
during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest payment date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other
funds acceptable to the Issuer, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being exchanged; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder exchanges its Debentures in
connection with a redemption and the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the related interest payment date, (2) if a Holder exchanges its Debentures in connection with a Designated Event and the
Issuer has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the related interest payment date, (3) in respect of exchanges that occur after the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or
(4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Debenture. Except as otherwise provided above in this Article 13, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest
accrued on any Debenture exchanged or for dividends on any shares issued upon the exchange of such Debenture as provided in this Article 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Debentures submitted for exchange in connection with a
Designated Event, such Debentures shall continue to represent the right to receive the Additional Designated Event Shares, if any, payable pursuant to Section 13.10, until such Additional Designated Event Shares are so paid. 
 Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Debenture, the Trustee (or other Exchange Agent appointed by the Issuer), or the Custodian at the direction
of the Trustee (or other Exchange Agent appointed by the Issuer), shall make a notation on such Global Debenture as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchanges of
Debentures effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee. 
 Upon the exchange of a Debenture, the accrued but unpaid interest
attributable to the period from the issue date of the Debenture to the Exchange Date, with respect to the exchanged Debenture, shall not be deemed canceled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to 

  

 58 

 
be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares) in
exchange for the Debenture being exchanged pursuant to the provisions hereof. 
 In case any Debenture of a denomination greater than $1,000
shall be surrendered for partial exchange, and subject to Section 2.04, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Debenture so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, a new Debenture or
Debentures in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Debenture. 
 Section 13.03 Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exchange of Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be
surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon exchange shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof to the extent
permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exchange of any Debenture or Debentures, the Issuer shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of Debentures at a price
equal to the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Exchange Date. 
 Section 13.04 Exchange Rate. The initial
Exchange Rate for the Debentures is 23.2558 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 13.05 and 13.10 (herein called the “Exchange Rate”). 
 Section 13.05 Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuer as follows: 
 (a) If the Guarantor issues the Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, or if the
Guarantor effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X OS1/OS0 
 where 
 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; 
 ER1 = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; and 
 OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination. 
  

 59 

 Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date that is
immediately after (x) the ex-dividend date for such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (a) is
declared but not so paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
 (b) If the Guarantor distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for a period of not more
than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X (OS0 + X)/(OS0 + Y) 
 where 
 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 ER1 = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 X = the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and 
 Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately
preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants or options. 
 For purposes of this paragraph (b), in determining
whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such
Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Guarantor for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to
be determined by the Board of Directors. If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Exchange Rate shall be
readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued. 
  

 60 

 (c) If the Guarantor distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or
other assets or property of the Guarantor to all holders of Common Stock, excluding: 
 (A) dividends, distributions, rights,
warrants or options referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above; 
 (B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in
cash; and 
 (C) Spin-Offs described below in this paragraph (c), 
 then the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X SP0/(SP0 - FMV) 
 where 
 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 ER1 = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and 

FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets
or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 provided that if “FMV” with respect to any distribution of shares of capital stock, evidences of
indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor is equal to or greater than “SP0” with respect to such distribution, then in
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive on the date such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor are
distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each Debenture, the amount of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor such holder of Debentures would have received had such holder of Debentures
owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution, and the aggregate principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder and
the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000). 
 An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph
shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution. 
  

 61 

 If the Guarantor distributes to all holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or
similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Guarantor (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate in effect immediately before the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off will
be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X (FMV0 + MP0)/MP0 
 where 
 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; 
 ER1 = the new Exchange Rate immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; 
 FMV0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of
the Spin-Off; and 
 MP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off. 
 An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the
effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any exchange within the 10 Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser
number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Exchange Date in determining the Applicable Exchange Rate. 
 If any such dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
 (d) If the Guarantor makes any cash dividend or distribution to all holders
of outstanding Common Stock (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer) during any of its quarterly fiscal periods in an aggregate amount that, together with other cash
dividends or distributions made during such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.33 (the “Reference Dividend”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date for such distribution, the
Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X SP0 /(SP0 - C) 
 where 
  

 62 

 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 ER1 = the new Exchange Rate immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution; 
 SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the
Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the day prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and 
 C =
the amount in cash per share that the Guarantor distributes to holders of Common Stock that exceeds the Reference Dividend; 
 provided that if “C” with respect to any such cash dividend or distribution is equal to or greater than “SP0” with respect to any such cash dividend or distribution, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive on the date such cash is distributed
to holders of Common Stock, for each Debenture, the amount of cash such holder of Debentures would have received had such holder of Debentures owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the
Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, and the aggregate principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000). 
 An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or
distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had
not been declared. 
 The Reference Dividend amount is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the
Exchange Rate; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Reference Dividend amount for any adjustment made to the Exchange Rate under this paragraph (d). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment is required to be made under this paragraph as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, the Reference Dividend will be deemed to be zero. 

(e) If the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock to the
extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may
be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 ER1 = ER0 X (AC + (SP1 X OS1))/(SP1 X OS0) 
  

 63 

 where 
 ER0 = the Exchange Rate in effect on the day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; 
 ER1 = the Exchange Rate in effect on the second day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; 
 AC =
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; 
 OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such tender offer or exchange
offer); and 
 SP1 = the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. 
 If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made. 
 Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective on the second day immediately following the
Expiration Time. If the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such
purchases are rescinded, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment to the exchange rate pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) above,
in no event will the Exchange Rate exceed 27.9096 (the “Maximum Exchange Rate”). The Maximum Exchange Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and
(c) above. 
 (g) If the Guarantor has in effect a stockholder’s rights plan while any Debentures remain
outstanding, Holders of Debentures will receive, upon an exchange of Debentures, in addition to Common Stock, rights under the Guarantor’s stockholder rights plan unless, prior to exchange, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed
or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the stockholder’s rights plan adopted by the Guarantor have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder
rights agreement so that Holders of Debentures would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of any Common Stock that the Issuer delivers upon an exchange of Debentures, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the

  

 64 

 
Guarantor had distributed, to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to paragraph
(c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. 
 (h) In
addition to the adjustments pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (e) above, the Issuer may increase the Exchange Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of
capital stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Issuer may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for any period
if the Issuer has determined that such increase would be in the best interests of the Issuer or the Guarantor. If the Issuer makes such determination, it will be conclusive and the Issuer will mail to Holders of the Debentures a notice of the
increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law. 
 (i) The Issuer shall not make any adjustment to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Debentures participate in the dividend, distribution
or transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the same time as holders of the Common Stock and as if such Holders of Debentures owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which
is the product of the Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date or effective date for the relevant dividend, distribution or transaction, and the aggregate principal amount of Debentures held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one
thousand ($1,000). 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth
herein on account of which no adjustment to the Exchange Rate shall be made, the Applicable Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted for: 
 (i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Issuer or those of the Guarantor and the investment of additional
optional amounts in the Common Stock under any plan; 
 (ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights
to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Issuer or the Guarantor; 
 (iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible
security outstanding as of the date the Debentures were first issued; 
 (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock;

 (v) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and 
  

 65 

 (vi) the issuance of Units by the Issuer and the issuance of shares of Common Stock or
the payment of cash upon redemption thereof. 
 (k) No adjustment in the Exchange Rate will be required unless the adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exchange Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Exchange Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken
into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debentures are called for redemption, all adjustments not previously
made will be made on the applicable Redemption Date. 
 (l) Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the
Guarantor or the Issuer shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file with the Trustee and any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which
each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to the Holders of the Debentures within 20 Business Days of the Effective Date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect
the legality or validity of any such adjustment. 
 (m) For purposes of this Section 13.05, the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Guarantor but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. 
 (n) If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a
subdivision or combination to which Section 13.05(a) applies), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Guarantor with another Person, or a binding share exchange in respect of all of the outstanding Common Stock or
(iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Guarantor to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other
property or assets (“Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then: 
 (i) the
Guarantor or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Issuer and the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental
indenture) providing for the exchange of the Debentures as set forth in this Indenture into the Reference Property. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 13.05; and 
  

 66 

 (ii) In the event a supplemental indenture should be executed pursuant to this
Section 13.05, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any
such event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and the Guarantor shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder of Debentures
within 20 Business Days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If the provisions of this paragraph applies to any event or occurrence, then the provisions of Sections Section 13.05(a) through (g) shall not apply. 
 (o) Notwithstanding this Section 13.05 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Debentures, if any Exchange Rate adjustment
becomes effective, or any ex-dividend date for any issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Exchange Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, the open of business on an Exchange Date and ending on,
and including, the close of business on the record date for such issuance, dividend or distribution, the Board of Directors shall make adjustments to the Exchange Rate and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Debentures
as are necessary or appropriate to effect the intent of this Section 13.05 and the other provisions of this Article 13 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 13.05(h) shall apply in lieu of the adjustment or other term that would otherwise be applicable. 
 Section 13.06 Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates, if any, on exchange of Debentures shall be made without charge to the exchanging Debentureholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
in respect of the issue thereof. The Issuer shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Debenture
exchanged, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid. 
 Section 13.07 Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance
with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the
exchange of the Debentures as required by this Indenture from time to time as such Debentures are presented for exchange. 
 The Guarantor
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exchange of Debentures will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Guarantor and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. 
  

 67 

 The Guarantor covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of exchange of
Debentures hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon exchange, the Guarantor shall, as expeditiously as possible secure such
registration or approval, as the case may be. 
 The Guarantor further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on The
New York Stock Exchange or any other national or regional securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Guarantor will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common
Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Debentures; provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Guarantor to defer the
listing of such the Common Stock until the first exchange of the Debentures in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantor covenants to list such the Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Debentures in accordance with the
requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time. 
 Section 13.08 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee
and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Debentures to determine the Exchange Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to
the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not
be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any capital stock, other securities or other assets or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any
Debenture; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common
Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Issuer contained in this Article 13.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to
Section 13.05 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or other assets or property (including cash) receivable by Debentureholders upon the exchange of their Debentures after any event referred to in
such Section 13.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon,
the Officers’ Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. 
 Section 13.09 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case: 
 (a) the Guarantor shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the
Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 13.05; or 
  

 68 

 (b) the Guarantor shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all
of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or 
 (c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or
of any consolidation, combination, merger or share exchange to which the Issuer or the Guarantor is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Guarantor is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Guarantor; or 
 (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Guarantor;

 the Issuer shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be sent to each holder of Debentures at its address appearing on the Debenture Register
provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be
determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or
any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. 
 Section 13.10 Exchange Rate Adjustment After Certain Designated Events. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, if a Debentureholder elects to exchange its Debentures following the occurrence of a transaction
described in clause (1) of the definition of Designated Event that occurs prior to April 18, 2014, the Issuer will increase the Applicable Exchange Rate for the Debentures so surrendered for exchange (the “Additional Designated Event
Shares”) as specified below; provided that the Additional Designated Event Shares will only be payable as set forth below. An exchange of Debentures will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Designated Event
if the Exchange Notice is received by the Exchange Agent from and including the Effective Date of the Designated Event until the corresponding Designated Event Repurchase Date. 
 (b) The number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be determined by reference to the table in paragraph (e) below and is based
on the date on which the relevant Designated Event transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in such transaction. If the 

  

 69 

 
holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the relevant Designated Event transaction, the Stock Price will equal the cash amount paid per share of Common
Stock. In all other cases, the Stock Price will equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the ten consecutive Trading Days up to but excluding the Effective Date. 
 (c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the
Debentures is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately
prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. 
 (d) The number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. 
 (e) The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of Additional Designated Event Shares issuable per $1,000 principal amount
of Debentures:

 (f) If the exact Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table
above, then: 
 (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective
Dates in the table, the number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Designated Event Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and
later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; 
 (ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $140.00 per share of
Common Stock (the “Make Whole Cap”) no additional Designated Event Shares will be issued upon exchange; and 
  

 70 

 (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $35.83 per share of Common Stock (the “Make
Whole Floor”) no additional Designated Event Shares will be issued upon exchange. 
 The Make Whole Cap and Make Whole Floor shall be
adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the Debentures is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may be, shall equal the Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may
be, applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the
Exchange Rate as so adjusted. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exchange of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 13.10 exceed 27.9096 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in the same manner and for the same events as the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant to
Section 13.05. 
 Section 13.11 Ownership Limit. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Debentures, no Holders of Debentures shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock
upon an exchange of Debentures to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) to exceed the ownership limit contained in Article VI of the Charter. 
 (b) At the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or repurchase of the Debentures or otherwise, and as otherwise required by law, the
Issuer may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to the Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law. 
 Section 13.12 Calculation in Respect of Debentures. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Debentures, all calculations to be made in respect of the Debentures shall be the obligation of
the Issuer. All calculations made by the Issuer or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Debentures shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Debentures and the Holders of the Debentures absent manifest
error. The Issuer shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Issuer without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by
the Issuer to any Holder of Debentures upon request. 
 Section 13.13 Surrender to Financial Institution in Lieu of Exchange.
When a Holder surrenders Debentures for exchange, the Issuer may direct the Exchange Agent to surrender such Debentures to a financial institution designated by the Issuer for transfer in lieu of exchange. In order to accept any Debentures
surrendered for exchange, the designated institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Debentures a number of shares of Common Stock per $1,000 of Debentures equal to the Exchange Rate (and cash in lieu of fractional shares, calculated in
the manner described in Section 13.03). By the close of business on the Trading 

  

 71 

 
Day immediately subsequent to the Exchange Date, the Issuer will notify the Holder surrendering Debentures for exchange that the Issuer has directed the
designated financial institution to accept the Debentures in lieu of exchange. 
 If the designated institution accepts any such Debentures,
it will deliver the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) to the Exchange Agent and the Exchange Agent will deliver those shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any
fractional shares) to the Holder. Any Debentures accepted by the designated institution will remain outstanding. If the designated institution agrees to accept any Debentures but does not timely deliver the related consideration, or if such
designated financial institution does not accept the Debentures, the Issuer will, as promptly as practical thereafter, but not later than the fifth Business Day following the Exchange Date, exchange the Debentures for shares of Common Stock, as
described in Section 13.02. 
 The Issuer’s designation of an institution to which the Debentures may be surrendered in lieu of
exchange does not require the institution to accept any Debentures. The Issuer will not pay any consideration to, or otherwise enter into any agreement with, the designated institution for or with respect to such designation.

 ARTICLE 15 
 GUARANTEE

Designated Event or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Debentures and all other obligations of the Issuer to the

of any Debentures or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon
repurchase, upon repurchase due to a Designated Event or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 15.03 hereof (collectively, the “Guarantee
Obligations”). 
 Subject to the provisions of this Article 15, the Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debentures or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debentures with respect to any thereof, the
entry of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes:
(a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Issuer (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the Issuer or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time or to
pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure
of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this
Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Issuer, any Benefited Party, any creditor of
the Guarantor or the Issuer or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby 

  

 75 

 
guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the
Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any
defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantor hereby covenants that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article 7. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer
or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the
Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Debentures and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee
Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of
the Guarantee. 
 Section 15.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 15.01
hereof, the Guarantor agrees that a notation of the Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit A hereto shall be endorsed on each Debenture authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf
of the Guarantor by an officer of the Guarantor. 
 The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee set forth in this Article 15 shall remain in full
force and effect and apply to all the Debentures notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debenture a notation of the Guarantee. 
 If
an officer whose facsimile signature is on a Debenture or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Debenture on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

 The delivery of any Debenture by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor. 
  

 76 

 Section 15.03 Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events.

 (a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties
that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this Article 15 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (b) The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent that it may do so under applicable law, that in the event of the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, the Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even
temporarily) execution on the Guarantee and hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Section 362 or 105 of the Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. 
 Section 15.04 Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor. 
 (a) For purposes of any provision of this Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officers’ Certificate
and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.01 hereof shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Issuer or the General Partner, as applicable, were references to the Guarantor. 
 (b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by the Guarantor shall be sufficient if
evidenced as described in Section 16.03 hereof as if references therein to the Issuer were references to the Guarantor. 
 (c) 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 Debentures to or on the Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 16.03
hereof as if references therein to the Issuer were references to the Guarantor. 
 (d) Upon any demand, request or application
by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as are required in Section 16.05 hereof as if all references therein to the Issuer were
references to the Guarantor.

 Section 16.12 Execution in 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 16.13 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Debentures shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s

 (e) The Company shall issue a press release through a reputable national newswire service announcing the anticipated effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement at least 15 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date thereof. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in
writing, if any, to the Company at least ten Business Days 

  

 4 

 
prior to the anticipated effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement as announced in the press release. From and after the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within 20 Business Days after such date, (i) if required by applicable law,
to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement (provided that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment in any 90-day period in accordance with this
Section 2(e)(i)) or to prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the related Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the
Act as promptly as is practicable; (ii) provide such Holder, upon request, copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Act
of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; provided that, if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and
Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(i) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(e) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related
Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Debentures are called for redemption and the then prevailing market price of the Common Stock is above the Exchange Price, then the
Company shall use reasonable efforts to file the post-effective amendment or supplement within five Business Days of the redemption date. 
 3. Registration Procedures. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (a)
The Company shall: 
 (i) furnish to each of the Representatives and to counsel for the Notice Holders, not less than five
Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated
by reference therein after the initial filing) and shall use its reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Representatives reasonably propose; and 
  

 5 

 (ii) include information regarding the Notice Holders and the methods of distribution
they have elected for their Registrable Securities provided to the Company in Notices and Questionnaires as necessary to permit such distribution by the methods specified therein. 
 (b) The Company shall ensure that: 
 (i) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Act; and 
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 
 (c) The Company shall advise the Representatives, the Notice Holders and any underwriter that has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and confirm such advice in writing, if requested
(which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company shall have remedied the basis for such suspension): 
 (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for any
amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose; 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock included
therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (v) of the
happening of any event that requires any change in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (B) do not omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (d) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or
the qualification of 

  

 6 

 
the securities therein for sale in any jurisdiction and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Company shall undertake
additional reasonable actions as required to permit unrestricted resales of the Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (e) Upon request, the Company shall furnish to each Notice Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all material incorporated
therein by reference, and, if a Notice Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by reference therein). 
 (f) During the Shelf Registration Period, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Initial Purchaser, each Notice Holder, and any sales or placement agents or underwriters acting on their behalf, without charge, as many copies of the
Prospectus (including the preliminary Prospectus, if any) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as any such person may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the foregoing in connection with the offering and sale of the Common Stock. 
 (g) Prior to any
offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall arrange for the qualification of the Common Stock for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any Notice Holder shall reasonably request and shall maintain
such qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service
of process in suits, other than those arising out of the Initial Placement or any offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections (c)(ii) through (v) above, the Company shall promptly (or within the time
period provided for by Section 3(i) hereof, if applicable) prepare a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to Initial Purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (i) Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending
corporate development, public filings with the Commission or any other material event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus,
the Company shall give notice (without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the Notice Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended and, upon actual receipt of any such notice, each Notice Holder
agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Notice Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in Section 3(i) hereof, or until it is advised
in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The period during 

  

 7 

 
which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed 45 days in any
90-day period or 90 days in any 360-day period; provided that, if the event triggering the Deferral Period relates to a proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which the board of directors of the Company
determines in good faith would be reasonably likely to impede the ability to consummate the transaction or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries taken a whole, the Company may extend the Deferral Period from 45
days to 60 days in any 90-day period or from 90 days to 120 days in any 360-day period. 
 (j) The Company shall comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement and in any event no later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective
date of the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (k) The Company may require each Holder of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Common Stock as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company
may exclude from the Shelf Registration Statement the Common Stock of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 (l) Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary
form) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Common Stock, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain customary
indemnification provisions and procedures. 
 (m) Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall: 
 (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of Common Stock to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and
its subsidiaries; 
 (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all
relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; 
  

 8 

 (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of Common Stock registered
thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

 (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and
substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and
such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters; 
 (v) obtain “comfort” letters
and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which
financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of Common Stock registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and covering
matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and 
 (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders or the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 3(i) hereof and with any customary conditions
contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 
 The actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and
(vi) of this paragraph (m) shall be performed in connection with any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder. 
 (n) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Common Stock or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the
FINRA Rules) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Common Stock or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the FINRA Rules.

 (o) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Common Stock covered
by the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof and shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Goodwin Procter LLP, but which may be another nationally
recognized law firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith. 
  

 9 

 5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Operating Partnership agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder or Initial Purchaser and each person who
controls any such Holder or Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Partnership will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for
inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have. 
 The Company and the Operating Partnership also agree to indemnify as provided in this Section 5(a) or contribute as provided in Section 5(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Common Stock
registered under the Shelf Registration Statement, its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and
the selling Holders provided in this paragraph (a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 3(l) hereof. 
 (b) Each Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally
and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Shelf Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or the Operating
Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Operating Partnership to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such
Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement shall be acknowledged by each Notice Holder that is not an Initial Purchaser
in such Notice Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire and shall be in addition to any liability that any such Notice Holder may otherwise have. 
  

 10 

 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so
to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying
party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above.
The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is
sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified
party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of
counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying
party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to
such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. 
 (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending loss, claim, liability, damage or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no 

  

 11 

 
case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the
Debentures, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Shelf Registration
Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final
Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to
be equal to the value of receiving Common Stock registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming
a part of the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act,
each officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership who shall have signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each director of the Company or the Operating Partnership shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Operating
Partnership, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 5
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or the Operating Partnership or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 5, and shall survive the sale by
a Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 6. Underwritten Registrations. (a) In no event will the
method of distribution of Registrable Securities take the form of an underwritten offering without the prior written consent of the Company. 
  

 12 

 (b) If any shares of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement unless such person (i) agrees to sell such
person’s shares of Common Stock on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 7. Registration Defaults. If any of the following events shall occur, then the Company shall pay liquidated damages (the “Registration Default Damages”) to the Holders as follows: 
 (a) if the Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be, if the Company is then a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement)
is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 271st day after the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 271st day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (b) if the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission (or has not become effective in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date, then
commencing on the 271st day after the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 271st day
and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (c) if the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared or become effective but ceases to be
effective or usable for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities, other than in connection with (A) a Deferral Period or (B) as a result of a requirement to file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make
changes to the information regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein, at any time during the Shelf Registration Period and the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or usability within ten Business
Days (or, if a Deferral Period is then in effect and subject to the 20 Business Day filing requirement and the proviso regarding the filing of post-effective amendments in Section 2(e) with respect to any Notice and Questionnaire received
during such period, within ten Business Days following the expiration of such Deferral Period or period permitted pursuant to Section 2(e)) then Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following such tenth Business Day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or 
 (d) if the Company through its omission fails to name as a selling securityholder any Holder that had complied timely with its obligations hereunder in a manner to 

  

 13 

 
entitle such Holder to be so named in (i) the Shelf Registration Statement at the time it first became effective or (ii) any Prospectus at the
later of time of filing thereof or the time the Shelf Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part becomes effective then Registration Default Damages shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures held
by such Holder, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or the time of filing of such Prospectus, as the case may be, and 0.50% per
annum thereafter; or 
 (e) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of
such period pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof, then commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Debentures at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such date, and 0.50% per annum thereafter; 
 provided, however, that (1) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (a) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the
case of paragraph (b) above), (3) upon such time as the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable for resales (in the case of paragraph (c) above),
(4) upon the time such Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with applicable law (in the case of paragraph (d) above) or (5) upon the
termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section 3(i) to be exceeded (in the case of paragraph (e) above), the Registration Default Damages shall cease
to accrue. 
 Any amounts of Registration Default Damages due pursuant to this Section 7 will be payable in cash on the next succeeding
interest payment date to Holders entitled to receive such Registration Default Damages on the relevant record dates for the payment of interest. If any Debenture ceases to be outstanding during any period for which Registration Default Damages are
accruing other than as a result of an exchange of Debentures for Common Stock, the Company will prorate the Registration Default Damages payable with respect to such Debenture. 
 The Registration Default Damages rate on the Debentures shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than
one clause above for any given period of time, except that if Registration Default Damages would be payable because of more than one Registration Default, but at a rate of 0.25% per annum under one Registration Default and at a rate of
0.50% per annum under the other, then the Registration Default Damages rate shall be the higher rate of 0.50% per annum. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in no event shall Registration Default Damages accrue to holders of Common Shares issued upon exchange of Debentures. In lieu thereof, the Company shall increase the Exchange Rate by 3% for
each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures exchanged at a time when such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing.

 8. No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership has entered into,
and each agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the registration rights granted to the Holders herein. 
 9. Rule 144A and Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act in a
timely manner and, if at anytime the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the Act. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written
request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to
require the Company or the Operating Partnership to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 
 10. Listing. The
Company shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the approval of the Common Share for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. 
 11.
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written
consent of such Holders and holders of Registrable Securities as would hold, in the aggregate, a majority of the Registrable Securities as would be outstanding on the date thereof, upon the exchange of all Debentures then outstanding for Common
Stock in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such
Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; provided, further, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 7 hereof
shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Article 11 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. 
 12. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail,
telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Notice and Questionnaire; 
  

 15 

 (b) if to the Initial Purchasers or the Representatives, initially at the address or addresses set forth
in the Purchase Agreement; and 
 (c) if to the Company or the Operating Partnership, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.

 The Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Operating Partnership by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for
subsequent notices or communications. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices given to Holders holding Debentures in book-entry form may be
given through the facilities of DTC or any successor depository. 
 13. Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights provided to it herein or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Operating
Partnership agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by them of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate. 
 14. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company or the Operating Partnership thereto, subsequent Holders and holders of Registrable Securities, and the indemnified
persons referred to in Section 5 hereof. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Common Stock, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this
Agreement as if an original party hereto. 
 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 16. Headings. The section
headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 17. Applicable Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 
 18. Severability. In the event that any one of more of the
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
  

 16 

 19. Common Stock Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders and holders
of Registrable Securities of a specified percentage of Debentures or Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Debentures or Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent holders of Debentures or Registrable
Securities if such subsequent holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Debentures or Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such
required percentage.
