LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., SG Americas Securities, LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Truist Securities, Inc. (each, a
&#147;Sales Agent&#148; and collectively, &#147;Sales Agents&#148;), relating to the offering of shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate gross sales price up to $750,000,000, to be made by this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the terms of the sales agreements, sales of shares of our common stock under
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers&#146; transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;) or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to prevailing market prices or, subject to our specific instructions, at negotiated prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of the sales
agreements, we also may sell shares of our common stock to any Sales Agent as principal for its own account. If we sell shares to any Sales Agent as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement setting forth the terms of such
transaction, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No Sales Agent is required to
sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock, but, subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreements, each Sales Agent has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares offered as our agent.
There is no arrangement for shares to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. The offering of shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreements will terminate upon the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the issuance and sale of shares of our
common stock subject to the sales agreements having an aggregate gross sales price of $750,000,000 and (ii)&nbsp;with respect to a particular sales agreement, the termination of such sales agreement by us or by the applicable Sales Agent as
permitted therein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:9pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The compensation to each Sales Agent for sales of our common stock will be a commission that will not exceed, but may be
lower than, 2.00% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through it as agent pursuant to the applicable sales agreement. We intend to use the net proceeds from any sales under this prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes, which may
include (i)&nbsp;the funding of future acquisitions or investments or (ii)&nbsp;the repayment or repurchase of any outstanding indebtedness. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We own, operate and lease shared communications infrastructure that is geographically dispersed throughout the U.S., including, as of
December&nbsp;31, 2023, (1) more than 40,000 towers and other structures, such as rooftops (collectively, &#147;towers&#148;), (2) approximately 115,000 small cells on air or under contract and (3)&nbsp;approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber
primarily supporting small cells and fiber solutions. We refer to our towers, small cells and fiber assets collectively as &#147;communications infrastructure,&#148; and to our customers on our communications infrastructure as &#147;tenants.&#148;
Our operating segments consist of (1)&nbsp;Towers and (2)&nbsp;Fiber, which includes both small cells and fiber solutions. Our largest tenants are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">T-Mobile,</FONT> AT&amp;T and Verizon Wireless, which collectively
accounted for approximately three-fourths of our consolidated site rental revenues for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023. Site rental revenues represented 94% of our consolidated net revenues for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, of which
66% and 34% were from our Towers segment and Fiber segment, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our core business is providing access, including space or
capacity, to our shared communications infrastructure via long-term contracts in various forms, including lease, license, sublease and service agreements. We seek to increase our site rental revenues by adding more tenants on our shared
communications infrastructure, which we expect to result in significant incremental cash flows due to our low incremental operating costs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, approximately 56% and 71% of our towers were located in the 50 and 100 largest U.S. basic trading areas
(&#147;BTAs&#148;), respectively. Our towers have a significant presence in each of the top 100 BTAs. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, we derive approximately 40% of our towers site rental gross margin from towers located on land that we own, including
through fee interests and perpetual easements, and we derive approximately 60% of our towers site rental gross margin from towers located on land that we lease, sublease, manage or license. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, the contracts for the land
under our towers have an average total remaining life of approximately 35 years (including all renewal terms exercisable at our option), weighted based on towers site rental gross margin. The majority of our small cells and fiber assets are located
in major metropolitan areas, including a presence within every major U.S. market. The vast majority of our fiber assets are located on public <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">rights-of-way.</FONT></FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of our effort to provide comprehensive communications infrastructure solutions, as an ancillary business, we also offer certain
services primarily relating to our Towers segment, predominately consisting of&nbsp;site development services relating to existing or new tenant equipment installations, including: site acquisition, architectural and engineering, or zoning and
permitting. </P>

five or fewer &#147;individuals&#148; (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as private foundations) during the last half of a taxable year. To satisfy these ownership requirements and other requirements for continued qualification
as a REIT and to otherwise protect us from the consequences of a concentration of ownership among our stockholders, the Charter contains provisions limiting the ownership and restricting the transfer of shares of our capital stock. </P>

qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and that our proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. It must be emphasized that the opinions of our Tax Counsel are based on
various assumptions relating to our organization and operation and are conditioned upon fact-based representations and covenants made by our management regarding our organization, assets, income, and the present and future conduct of our business
operations. While we intend to operate so that we will continue to qualify as a REIT, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our
circumstances, no assurance can be given by our Tax Counsel or by us that we will qualify as a REIT for any particular year. The opinions are each expressed as of the date issued. Our Tax Counsel will have no obligation to advise us or our

determination. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year have satisfied or will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. </P>

applicable to REITs. Our proportionate share of a partnership&#146;s assets and income is based on our capital interest in the partnership (except that for purposes of the 10% value test, described below, our proportionate share of the
partnership&#146;s assets is based on our proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by the partnership). In addition, the assets and gross income of the partnership are deemed to retain the same character in our hands.

credit, including for purposes of the gross income and asset tests applicable to REITs. A qualified REIT subsidiary is any corporation, other than a TRS (as described below), that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by a REIT. Other entities that
are wholly owned by us, including single member limited liability companies that have not elected to be taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are also generally disregarded as separate entities for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, including for purposes of the REIT income and asset tests. Disregarded subsidiaries, along with any partnerships in which we hold an equity interest, are sometimes referred to herein as &#147;pass-through subsidiaries.&#148; </P>

acquired by a person other than us or another disregarded subsidiary of ours&#151;the subsidiary&#146;s separate existence would no longer be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, the subsidiary would have multiple owners and
would be treated as either a partnership or a taxable corporation. Such an event could, depending on the circumstances, adversely affect our ability to satisfy the various asset and gross income requirements applicable to REITs, including the
requirement that REITs generally may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the securities of another corporation. See &#147;&#151;Income Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; </P>

subsidiary corporation as a TRS. We generally may not own more than 10% of the securities of a taxable corporation, as measured by voting power or value, unless we and such corporation elect to treat such corporation as a TRS. The separate existence
of a TRS or other taxable corporation is not ignored for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation generally is subject to corporate income tax on its earnings, which may reduce the cash flow that
we and our subsidiaries generate in the aggregate, and may reduce our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are not
treated as holding the assets of a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation or as receiving any income that the subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock issued by a taxable subsidiary corporation to us is an asset in our hands, and we treat the
dividends paid to us from such taxable subsidiary corporation, if any, as income. This treatment can affect our income and asset test calculations, as described below. Because we do not include the assets and income of TRSs or other taxable
subsidiary corporations on a look-through basis in determining our compliance with the REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake indirectly activities that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude us from doing directly or through
pass-through subsidiaries. For example, we may use TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations to perform services or conduct activities that give rise to certain categories of income such as management fees, or to conduct activities that, if
conducted by us directly, would be treated in our hands as prohibited transactions. </P>

both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest
income generally will be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real
property. In certain cases, personal property collateral that secures a loan may be treated as real property for purposes of the foregoing rules. Even if a loan is not secured by real property, or is under-secured, the income that it generates may
nonetheless qualify for purposes of the 95% gross income test. For these purposes, the term &#147;interest&#148; generally does not include any amount received or accrued, directly or indirectly, if the determination of all or some of the amount
depends in any way on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term &#147;interest&#148; solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or

of our total assets must be represented by some combination of &#147;real estate assets,&#148; cash, cash items, U.S. government securities, and, under some circumstances, stock or debt instruments purchased with new capital. For this purpose, real
estate assets include interests in real property, stock of other corporations that qualify as REITs, certain kinds of mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and debt instruments (whether or not secured by real property) that are issued by a
&#147;publicly offered REIT&#148; (i.e., a REIT that is required to file annual and periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act). Assets that do not qualify for purposes of the 75% asset test are subject to the additional asset tests
described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Second, the value of any one issuer&#146;s securities that we own may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets.

purposes of the 10% value test, the determination of our interest in the assets of a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest will be based on our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership or

indebtedness is a qualifying mortgage asset or other conditions are met. Similarly, although stock of another REIT is a qualifying asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests, any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-mortgage</FONT> debt that is
issued by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-publicly</FONT> offered REIT may not so qualify (although such debt will not be treated as &#147;securities&#148; for purposes of the 10% value test, as explained below). </P>

the same issuer which do not qualify as straight debt, unless the value of those other securities constitute, in the aggregate, 1% or less of the total value of that issuer&#146;s outstanding securities. In addition to straight debt, the Code

debt or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be uncertain in some circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT asset requirements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not contend that our interests in

and the asset test requirements was not wholly or partly caused by an acquisition of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> assets, but instead arose from changes in the relative market values of our assets. If the condition
described in clause (ii)&nbsp;were not satisfied, we still could avoid disqualification by eliminating any discrepancy within 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter in which it arose or by making use of the relief provisions described

transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options. Except to the extent provided by Treasury
regulations, any income from a hedging transaction (including gain from the sale, disposition or termination of a position in such a transaction) will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income test if we properly
identify the transaction as specified in applicable Treasury regulations and we enter into such transaction (i)&nbsp;in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of interest rate changes or currency fluctuations with respect to
borrowings made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred, to acquire or carry real estate assets; (ii)&nbsp;primarily to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be
qualifying income under the 75% or 95% income tests; or (iii)&nbsp;in connection with the extinguishment of indebtedness with respect to which we have entered into a qualified hedging position described in clause (i)&nbsp;or the disposition of
property with respect to which we have entered into a qualified hedging position described in clause (ii), primarily to manage the risks of such hedging positions. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from
those transactions is likely to be treated as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> income for purposes of both of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Moreover, to the extent that a position in a hedging transaction has positive
value at any particular point in time, it may be treated as an asset that does not qualify for purposes of the REIT asset tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. We may
conduct some or all of our hedging activities (including hedging activities relating to currency risk) through a TRS or other corporate entity, the income from which may be subject to U.S. federal income tax, rather than by participating in the
arrangements directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. No assurance can be given, however, that our hedging activities will not give rise to income or assets that do not qualify for purposes of the REIT tests, or that our hedging activities
will not adversely affect our ability to satisfy the REIT qualification requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Foreclosure Property </I></B></P>

that are deducted by a TRS for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm&#146;s length negotiations, and redetermined TRS service income is income of a TRS attributable to services provided to,
or on behalf of, us (other than services furnished or rendered to a tenant of ours) to the extent that such income is lower than the income the TRS would have earned based on arm&#146;s length negotiations. Rents that we receive will not constitute

qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from U.S. federal income taxation. However, they may be subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income (&#147;UBTI&#148;).
While some investments in real estate may generate UBTI, the IRS has ruled that dividend distributions from a REIT to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entity do not constitute UBTI. Based on that ruling, and provided that
(i)&nbsp;a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> stockholder has not held our common stock as &#147;debt financed property&#148; within the meaning of the Code (i.e., where the acquisition or holding of the property is financed through
a borrowing by the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> stockholder) and (ii)&nbsp;our common stock is not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business, distributions that we make and income from the sale of our common stock
generally should not give rise to UBTI to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> stockholder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Tax-exempt</FONT> stockholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, and supplemental unemployment benefit trusts exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), and
(c)(17) of the Code are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally require such stockholders to characterize distributions that we make as UBTI. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In certain circumstances, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of our stock could be required to treat a percentage of any dividends
received from us as UBTI if we are a &#147;pension-held REIT.&#148; We will not be a pension-held REIT unless (i)&nbsp;we are required to &#147;look through&#148; one or more of our pension trust stockholders in order to satisfy the REIT
&#147;closely-held&#148; test and (ii)&nbsp;either (a)&nbsp;one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our stock or (b)&nbsp;one or more pension trusts, each individually holding more than 10% of the value of our stock, collectively own
more than 50% of the value of our stock. Certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock generally should prevent a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entity from owning more than 10% of the value of our stock and
generally should prevent us from becoming a pension-held REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Tax-exempt</FONT> stockholders are

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs may be modified, possibly with retroactive effect, by legislative, judicial or
administrative action at any time. The REIT rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury which may result in statutory changes as well as revisions to regulations and
interpretations. Changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could adversely affect an investment in our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Other Tax

Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable sales agreement, each Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares offered as our agent. The Sales Agents may not sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at

by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we engage a Sales Agent for a sale of shares of our
common stock that would constitute a &#147;distribution&#148; within the meaning of Rule&nbsp;100 of Regulation M, we and such Sales Agent will use reasonable commercial efforts to agree to compensation that is customary for such Sales Agent with

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We own, operate and lease shared communications infrastructure that is geographically dispersed throughout the U.S., including, as of
December&nbsp;31, 2023, (1) more than 40,000 towers and other structures, such as rooftops (collectively, &#147;towers&#148;), (2) approximately 115,000 small cells on air or under contract and (3)&nbsp;approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber
primarily supporting small cells and fiber solutions. We refer to our towers, small cells and fiber assets collectively as &#147;communications infrastructure,&#148; and to our customers on our communications infrastructure as &#147;tenants.&#148;
Our operating segments consist of (1)&nbsp;Towers and (2)&nbsp;Fiber, which includes both small cells and fiber solutions. Our largest tenants are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">T-Mobile,</FONT> AT&amp;T and Verizon Wireless, which collectively
accounted for approximately three-fourths of our consolidated site rental revenues for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023. Our core business is providing access, including space or capacity, to our shared communications infrastructure via
long-term contracts in various forms, including lease, license, sublease and service agreements. We seek to increase our site rental revenues by adding more tenants on our shared communications infrastructure, which we expect to result in
significant incremental cash flows due to our low incremental operating costs. Site rental revenues represented 94% of our consolidated net revenues for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, of which 66% and 34% were from our Towers segment and
Fiber segment, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, approximately 56% and 71% of our towers were located in the 50 and 100 largest
U.S. basic trading areas (&#147;BTAs&#148;), respectively. Our towers have a significant presence in each of the top 100&nbsp;BTAs. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, we derive approximately 40% of our towers site rental gross margin from towers located
on land that we own, including through fee interests and perpetual easements, and we derive approximately 60% of our towers site rental gross margin from towers located on land that we lease, sublease, manage or license. As of December&nbsp;31,
2023, the contracts for the land under our towers have an average total remaining life of approximately 35 years (including all renewal terms exercisable at our option), weighted based on towers site rental gross margin. The majority of our small
cells and fiber assets are located in major metropolitan areas, including a presence within every major U.S. market. The vast majority of our fiber assets are located on public

documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein. Before making an investment decision with respect to an offering of our securities, you should carefully consider those risks as well as
other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus relating to the specific issue of securities. If any of the events or developments described actually
occurred, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. To the extent a particular offering implicates additional risks, we will include a discussion of those risks in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

forth above, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by such global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt
securities in certificated form and will not be considered to be the holders of any debt securities under such global security. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of DTC or any
successor depositary, and, if such Person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. CCI understands that under existing industry
practices, in the event that CCI requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, DTC or any successor
depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise
act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised CCI that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company

Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the
participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#146;s participants include securities brokers and dealers (which may include the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
certain other organizations, some of whom (or their representatives) own DTC. Access to DTC&#146;s book-entry registration and transfer system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or

specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person
would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person&#146;s own affairs. The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it
become a creditor of CCI, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it

method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that if an Event of
Default occurs and is not cured, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent Person in the conduct of such Person&#146;s own affairs. Subject to these provisions, the trustee will be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities, unless that holder shall have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Governing Law </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
