Section 3.02. Restrictions on Secured Debt.

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or guarantee any Secured Debt unless the Notes will be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Debt, with certain exceptions.

Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor.

-17-

Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Base Indenture (as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture) for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article Six of the Base Indenture (as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 5.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

All terms used in this Notes that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them therein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, if applicable. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA, if applicable, for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

Interest.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2020, until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from June 10, 2020¹, provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2.	Method of Payment.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3.	Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4.	Optional Redemption.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of the following amounts: (i) 100% of their principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; and (ii) the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%).

At any time on or after December 15, 2027 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The Company will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the redemption date. In determining the redemption price and accrued interest, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Notice of redemption may state that the redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of other events, and will be mailed by first class mail (or delivered electronically in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee). Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the paying agent for such Notes funds in satisfaction of the redemption price (including accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to be redeemed) pursuant to the Indenture, provided that if the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price together with accrued interest, interest shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Notes.

5.	Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes by presentation of such Notes to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or purchase, except the unredeemed or unpurchased part thereof if the Note is redeemed or purchased in part, or transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased.
