Section 1.06. Notices to Holders; Waiver

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, (1) if any of the Securities affected by such event are Fully Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register within the time prescribed and (2) if any of the Securities affected by such event are Unregistered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to such Holders in the manner and the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act and if published in an Authorized Newspaper or Newspapers in such city or cities as may be provided elsewhere in this Indenture or specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.

If in the event of suspension of regular mail service or for any other reason it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Registered Holders by mail, then such a notification as shall be made to Registered Holders with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Unregistered Securities as provided above then said notification to Holders of Unregistered Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05 or of Section 3.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such series or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(c)If at any time the Depositary for a series of Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.05(a) and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.05 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee will, in accordance with Section 3.03 and a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series, in like tenor and terms in definitive form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may, subject to the procedures of the Depositary, at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series, in like tenor and terms in definitive form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver definitive Securities of such series without service charge:

In any exchange provided for in this Section 2.05(c), the Company will execute and the Trustee, pursuant to a Company Order, will authenticate and deliver Securities

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations, and delivered to such addresses, as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary in accordance with a Company Order. The Trustee shall deliver Unregistered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section to the Depositary or to the Persons at such addresses, and in such authorized denominations, as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise shall instruct the Trustee in writing.

Section 3.01. Title and Terms

The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities may be issued up to the aggregate principal amount of Securities from time to time authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution.

The Securities may be issued in one or more series. All Securities of each series issued under this Indenture shall in all respects be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof with respect to such series without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery or Maturity of the Securities of such series. There shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, which shall be delivered to the Trustee prior to the issuance of Securities of any series:

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying on, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02 with the Officers’ Certificate relating to the issuance of any series of Securities, an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

Section 3.02. Denominations

The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified in the Form of Security for such series approved or established pursuant to Section 2.03 or in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01. In the absence of any specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable as Fully Registered Securities in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication and Delivery

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Senior Vice Presidents and may, but need not be, under its corporate seal, which may be in facsimile form and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate required pursuant to Section 1.02 and an Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 1.02 without any further action by the Company.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Security under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability.

All Registered Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication; provided, however, that if provided for in the form of Security, interest may accrue from a date other than the authentication date.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued; provided, however, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the date of such request the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be true and correct on the date thereof as if made on and as of the date thereof and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Securities of such series that are identical to the Securities issued in the first issuance of Securities of such series.

Section 3.04. Temporary Securities

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Temporary Securities may be issued as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge to a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or, in the case of temporary Securities issued in respect of the Unregistered Securities of any series, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee located in a city specified elsewhere in this Indenture or pursuant to Section 3.01, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor to a Holder except that in case of any such exchange involving any registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

Subject to the conditions set forth below, Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company for such purposes as provided in Section 5.02, and the Company shall execute and register, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

The Company shall keep or cause to be kept, at one of its said offices or agencies, a register for each series of Securities issued hereunder which may include Registered Securities (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, and subject also to the provisions of Section 2.05, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities of such series and shall register the transfer of Registered Securities of such series as in this Article Three provided. The Securities Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Securities Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and registering transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any such office or agency, the Company shall execute and register, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series for an equal aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, at the option of the Holder thereof, Securities of any series, whether Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities, which by their terms are registrable as to principal only or as to principal and interest, may, to the extent and under the circumstances specified pursuant to Section 3.01, be exchanged for such Registered Securities or Fully Registered Securities of such series, as may be issued by the terms thereof. Securities of any series, whether Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities, which by their terms provide for the issuance of Unregistered Securities, may not, except to the extent and under the circumstances specified pursuant to Section 3.01, be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series.

Upon presentation for registration of any Unregistered Security of any series which by its terms is registrable as to principal, at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained as provided in Section 5.02, such Security shall be registered as to principal in the name of the Holder thereof, and such registration shall be noted on such Security. Any Security so registered shall be transferable on the Securities Register of the Company upon presentation of such Security at such office or agency for similar notation thereon, but, to the extent permitted by law, such Security may be discharged from registration by being in a like manner transferred to bearer, whereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored. To the extent permitted by law, Unregistered Securities shall continue to be subject to successive registrations and discharges from registration at the option of the Holders thereof.

Unregistered Securities shall be transferred by delivery. All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed, by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney, duly authorized in writing.

Each Security endorsed thereon issued upon registration of transfer or exchange of Securities pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Security or Securities surrendered upon registration of such transfer or exchange.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 4.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to exchange or register the transfer of any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any 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 Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) 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 3.06. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, and in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security may in its discretion, execute, and upon a Company Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number, letter or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen, or if any such Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, instead of issuing a substituted Security, the Company in its discretion may pay or authorize the payment of the same without surrender thereof (except in the case of a mutilated Security) instead of issuing a new Security. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security under this Section 3.06, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, 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 of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest on any Fully Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest if provided for in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Security issued between a record date and the initial Interest Payment Date relating to such record date, interest for the period beginning on the date of issue and ending on such initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person to whom such Security shall have been originally issued.

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

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

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07), if such Registered Security is a Fully Registered Security, interest, if any, on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security as the absolute owner of such Security for the purposes of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Security.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, an agent member of the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any agent member of the Depositary, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any agent member of the Depositary, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any agent member of the Depositary or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depositary and Holders of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

Section 3.09. Cancellation of Securities; Disposal Thereof

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking fund, if surrendered to the Company, or any Paying Agent or any Securities Registrar, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be authenticated and delivered in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it in accordance with the Trustee’s standard procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities, unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.10. Computation of Interest

Except as otherwise specified in the form of Security for any series approved or established pursuant to Section 2.03 or in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01, with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.11. Numbers, ISINs, etc.

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

Section 4.01. Applicability of Article

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity in accordance with their terms except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.

Section 4.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities

In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series (or all or part of the Unregistered Securities of such series or all or any part of the Registered Securities of each series, if the terms and traditions of redemption shall differ with respect to Unregistered Securities and Registered Securities of such series as specified in the terms of such Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01) in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a Redemption Date and, except as otherwise set forth in a form of Security, shall provide notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date to the Holders of Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part in the manner provided in Section 1.06, provided that the Company shall provide notice to the Trustee of the redemption at least two Business Days prior to the date such notice is delivered to the Holders.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, the Place or Places of Payment, that the Securities of such series are being redeemed at the option of the Company pursuant to provisions contained in the terms of the Securities of such series or in a supplemental indenture establishing such series, if such be the case, together with a brief statement of the facts permitting such redemption, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Securities, that any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said Redemption Date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, and, if only Unregistered Securities of any series are to be redeemed, and if such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities, the last date on which exchanges of Unregistered Securities for Registered Securities not subject to redemption may be made. In case any Security of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued, or, in the case of Securities providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holders, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

On or before the Redemption Date with respect to the Securities of any series stated in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one more Paying Agents an amount of money in the currency or currency units in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to redeem on such Redemption Date all the Securities or portions thereof so called for redemption at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date.

Except as set forth in a form of Security, if fewer than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed (except in the case of a redemption in whole of the Unregistered Securities, the Registered Securities or the Fully Registered Securities of such series), the Company will give the Trustee written notice not less than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Trustee shall select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date and in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of such series or portions hereof (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or an integral multiple thereof, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable form of Security) to be redeemed.

Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

Section 4.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption

If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to such Redemption Date, and on and after said Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to said Redemption Date) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment in such notice specified, such Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the applicable Redemption Date (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series).

Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Securities so presented.

Section 5.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest; Compliance with Terms

With respect to each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series, and this Indenture, net of any taxes required to be withheld, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in this Indenture for the benefit of, the Securities of such series. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of a series, each installment of interest on the Registered Securities of any series may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the Holders of Registered Securities entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company.

Section 5.02. Maintenance of Agency

The Company will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Registered Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or other amounts payable in respect thereof and for registration of transfer or exchange and an agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office as its initial office or agency for the purpose of this Section 5.02. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands in respect of Registered Securities may be made or served at the Principal Corporate Trust Office; and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands and to act as Paying Agent.

The Company, by written notice to the Trustee, may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for any or all such purposes, and, by like notice, may from time to time rescind such designations.

Section 5.03. Money for Security Payments To Be Held in Trust

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

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

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

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for 2 years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in the Place of Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Company, any other reasonable means of notification of such proposed repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such proposed repayment to Registered Holders whose names appear on the Security Register and whose holdings of Registered Securities have not yet been surrendered for redemption or whose right to interest moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent or the Trustee, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 5.04. Certification of Compliance of the Company

Section 5.06. Calculation of Original Issue Discount

The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may be required to be provided to the Trustee or to the holders of the Securities pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder.

In accordance with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) semiannually and not more than 10 days after the Regular Record Date for each series, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Registered Securities of such series as of such date, and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 3.01 for noninterest bearing Securities of such series in each year, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished, except that, so long as the Trustee is Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished.

The Company shall also be required to furnish such information which is known to it concerning the Holders of Unregistered Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to investigate any matter relating to the name and address of any Holder of an Unregistered Security.

Section 6.02. Preservation of Information; Communications to Security Holders

Section 6.04. Reports by Company

The Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to any of such provisions is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 7.01. Events of Default and Defaults

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

Section 7.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding of such series may declare the principal (or, if Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of the Securities of such series) of all the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of Securities), and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. Payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article Eleven notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and payable as herein provided.

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

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

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 rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

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

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Securities Outstanding of such series entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new declaration of acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a declaration of acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof, which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee

The Company covenants that if:

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

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

Section 7.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for payment of overdue principal, premium or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of Securities any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of Securities in any such proceeding.

Section 7.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities

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

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 7.06. Application of Money Collected

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or, after a Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities (other than sums held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities) shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and in the case of the distribution of such money or other property on account or principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation (except in respect of Subdivision FIRST below) of the Securities of such series, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amount due the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) under Section 8.07.

SECOND: Subject to Article 11, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities of such series, for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively.

THIRD: The balance, to the Company.

Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits

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

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

Section 7.08. Unconditional Right of Security Holders To Receive Principal, Premium and Interest

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be) at the respective places, at the respective times, at the respective rates, in the respective amounts and herein prescribed, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies

If the Trustee or any Holder of any Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder of any Security, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of any Security shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative

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

Section 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver

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

Section 7.12. Control by Security Holders

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

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Securities Outstanding of such series entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new direction identical to a direction which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.12.

Section 7.13. Waiver of Past Defaults

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.

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

Section 7.14. Undertaking for Costs

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security 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, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security, or group of Holders of any Security, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be).

Section 7.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any stay, usury or extension law wherever enacted, now or any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee

(a)If a Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 his or her own affairs.

Within 60 days after each June 1, beginning with June 1, 2017, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a).

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Company will not affect the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 8.07. The Company shall, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge, and the termination for any reason, of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 8.08. Replacement of Trustee

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder likewise covenants and agrees by his acceptance thereof, that the obligations of the Company to make any payment on account of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Securities shall be subordinate and junior, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment and upon liquidation to the Company’s obligations to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company.

Section 11.02. Company Not to Pay if Senior Debt of Company is in Default

No payment on account of principal or interest on the Securities shall be made by the Company unless full payment of amounts then due for principal (and premium, if any), sinking funds, and interest on Senior Debt of the Company has been made or duly provided for in money or money’s worth in accordance with its terms. No payment on account of principal or interest on the Securities shall be made by the Company if, at the time of such payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, there shall have occurred an event of default with respect to any Senior Debt of the Company or in any instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holders thereof (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, or an event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such event of default, and such event of default shall not have been cured or waived.

Section 11.03. Payment over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, Default, Etc., of the Company

The Company agrees that upon (i) the occurrence of any event of default referred to in Section 11.02 above that shall not have been cured or waived or (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or other proceedings, all principal (and premium, if any), sinking fund payments and interest due or to become due upon all Senior Debt of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money or money’s worth in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities due and owing at the time and upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Section with respect to the Securities, to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, provided the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment), to which the Holders of the Securities would, except for the provisions hereof, be entitled, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee under this instrument if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company (pro rata to each such holder on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holder) or their representatives, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt of the Company in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or to the Trustee or to any Paying Agent (subject, in the case of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, to the provisions of Section 7.06 and 8.07) under this instrument.

In the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, not permitted by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment, in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior Debt of the Company (pro rata to each such holder on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holder) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt of the Company may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, or to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such distribution, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt of the Company in full in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt of the Company.

The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Ten shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article Ten.

Nothing in this Article Eleven shall apply to the claims of or payments to the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 7.06 and 8.07.

Section 11.04. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt

Subject to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, the Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt of the Company until the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Debt of the Company of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt of the Company and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt of the Company; and no payments or distributions to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities that are applied to the satisfaction of Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, by virtue of the subordination herein provided for shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Securities.

Section 11.05. Reliance on Certificate of Liquidating Agent

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon an order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization or arrangement proceedings are pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent or to this Article.

Section 11.06. Payment Permitted if No Default

Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization or other similar proceedings referred to in Section 11.03 or under the conditions described in Section 11.02, from making payments at any time of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of (or premium, if any) or on account of the principal of or interest on Securities, if, on the second Business Day prior to the date of such application, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, did not have the written notice provided for in Section 11.07 or 11.12, as applicable, of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit or if, at the time of such deposit (whether or not in trust) by the Company with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), such payment would not have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.

Section 11.07. Trustee Not Charged with Knowledge of Prohibition

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee and shall be entitled to assume that no event of default or prohibition specified in Sections 11.02, 11.03 or elsewhere has happened, until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office an Officers’ Certificate of the Company to that effect or notice in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders, or their representatives, of at least $1,000,000 in principal amount of Senior Debt of the Company who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holders or representatives or from any trustee under any indenture pursuant to which such Senior Debt shall be outstanding no later than two Business Days prior to such payment and, prior to the receipt of any such Officers’ Certificate or written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to presume that no such facts exist. Unless the Trustee shall have received the Officers’ Certificate or notice provided from the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such payment and to apply the same to the purpose for which it was received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 11.08. Provisions are Solely to Define Relative Rights

The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt on the other. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt, to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

Section 11.09. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Section 11.10. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination

Each Holder by its acceptance of a Security or Securities authorizes and directs the Trustee in its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and the Trustee shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of the Securities or the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

Section 11.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt

The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, as the case may be, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

Section 11.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company with respect to a series of Securities and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to, and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 11.08 and 11.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent; and provided, further, that no Paying Agent (other than the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent) shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt or shall be liable to any such holder if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. No Paying Agent shall be deemed to have received any Officers’ Certificate or notice required pursuant to or referred in this Article (whether or not actually received) until after the second Business Day after any such notice shall have been delivered to a Responsible Officer of such Paying Agent at the Paying Agent Office of such Paying Agent, as such Responsible Officer and Paying Agent Office shall be specified with respect to such series in accordance with Section 3.01.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 12.01 with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of this Indenture with respect to such series, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be discharged from (a) any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof, if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company under applicable law, (b) any obligations under Sections 8.07 and 8.08 and (c) any obligations under Section 3.05 or 3.06 (except that Securities of such series issued upon registration of transferor or exchange or Securities issued in lieu of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Securities shall not be obligations of the Company) and Section 6.01; and provided further that in the event a petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or a successor statute is filed with respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit, this Indenture with respect to all Securities of such series shall not be discharged, and in such event the Trustee shall return such deposited funds or obligations as it is then holding to the Company upon Company Request, as applicable; and provided further that if the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 12.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 12.03, but if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 12.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, any obligations of the Company under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.01, 6.01, 8.07 and 8.08 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 12.03 shall survive.

Section 12.03. Application of Trust Money

All money and obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held irrevocably in trust and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee.
