duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such demand, request or notice whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that unless the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series shall have joined in such demand, request or notice prior to the day which is the ninetieth day after such record date, such demand, request or notice 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, (i) after the expiration of such 90-day period, a new demand, request or notice identical to a
demand, request or notice which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence or (ii) during any such 90-day period, a new demand, request or notice which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence or (iii) during any such 90-day period, a new demand, request or notice contrary to or different from such demand, request or notice, in any of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this

Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Subordinated Securities Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of
such series. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take
the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series (or their
duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder shall be effective hereunder unless
given or taken on or prior 

  
 14 









 
to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date, but not beyond 90 days. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or
taking, after any expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, any action, given or taken, or purported to have been given or taken, hereunder by a Holder on or prior to such date, in which event the
Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to,
any action to be given or taken by Holders pursuant to Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 5.05.

sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, at its Corporate Trust Office; or

otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in paragraph (20) of the back of the Form of Security set forth in
Exhibit A hereto to the attention of the Corporate Secretary or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the Company; provided, however, that such instrument will
be considered properly given if submitted by facsimile. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Subordinated Securities Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail (so long as they are provided in a manually signed document on the applicable letterhead that has been
scanned in and attached to such e-mail in a format that is readable by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, including but not limited to .pdf format), facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods;
provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, 

  
 15 









 
subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in a
timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in its sole discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s or the
Securities Administrator’s, as applicable, understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s, as applicable, reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party
providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, including without limitation the risk
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Subordinated Securities Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice, or, if the Security is registered in the name of DTC or another Depository, or their respective nominees, if delivered in accordance with the applicable
procedures of DTC or such other Depository. 
 If, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, it shall be
impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders of Securities when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, then such manner of giving such notice as shall be acceptable to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall constitute sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. 

  
 16 









 Where this Subordinated Securities Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Securities Administrator, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Holders or other document required or permitted under this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Subordinated Securities Indenture. Such service may be made in any manner permitted by applicable law in any such suit, action or proceeding at the address for the Process Agent, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs such Process
Agent to accept such service on its behalf. The Company represents and warrants that the Process Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and agrees that service of process in such manner upon the Process Agent shall be deemed,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit, action or proceeding. 
 Section 1.16. Calculation Agent. If the Company appoints a Calculation Agent with respect to any series of Securities, any determination of the interest


  
 18 









 
rate on, or other amounts in relation to, such series of Securities in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities by such Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error,
bad faith or willful misconduct) be binding on the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and all Holders and (in the absence of manifest error, bad faith or willful misconduct) no liability to the Holders shall attach to the Calculation
Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions. 
 Section 1.17.
Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment (a “Legal Holiday”), then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of principal and premium (if
any) or interest (if any), need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment (or such other Business Day as shall be provided in such Security) with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, if any, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be to such succeeding Business Day (or such other Business Day as shall be provided in such Security). 
 Section 1.18. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert the sum due on the Securities of any series from the currency in which such sum is payable in accordance with the terms of such Securities (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a
judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment is rendered and (b) its obligations under this Subordinated Securities Indenture to make
payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose 

  
 19 









 
of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and
(iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Subordinated Securities Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal
holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close. 
 Section 1.19. Immunity of Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers, Directors and Employees. 
 (a) No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, or of any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be
had against any incorporator, shareholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Subordinated Securities Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations of the Company, and that no
such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, shareholders, officers, directors or employees, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of
the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations or agreements contained in this Subordinated Securities Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at
common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, shareholder, officer, director or employee, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized,
or under or by reason of the obligations or agreements contained in this Subordinated Securities Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the
execution of this Subordinated Securities Indenture and the issue of such Securities. 
 (b) All payments of interest and other
amounts, if any, to be made by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder shall be made only from the money deposited with the Trustee and only to the extent that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall have
sufficient income or proceeds to make such payments in accordance with the terms of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of a Security, 

  
 20 









 
agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds deposited by the Company with the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, to the extent available for distribution to
the Holder thereof as provided and that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator is personally liable in any manner to the Holder hereof for any amounts payable or any liability under this Subordinated Securities Indenture of any
Security. 
 ARTICLE II

Administrator

	
	
By:                       
                                         
                               



 Section 2.03. Securities in Global Form. If Securities of a series are issuable in
global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding clause (i) of Section 3.01 and the provisions of Section 3.02, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series
as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time
be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Administrator in such manner and upon
instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 and, if

a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.04 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 

  
 22

with the Officer’s Certificate contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.03. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 2.01 and 3.07, payment of principal of, and premium (if any) and interest (if any) on, any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person in whose name such Security is registered in the Securities Administrator’s
Security Register. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.08, the Company, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder a Person in whose name such Security is registered in the Securities Administrator’s Security Register.

bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 If a Book-Entry Security—“This Security is a Book-Entry Security
within the meaning of the Subordinated Securities Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depository or a nominee of a Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other
than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Subordinated Securities Indenture, and no transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this Security as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the
Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository) may be registered except in such limited circumstances.”

securities indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series; provided, that, unless
the supplemental indenture establishing the series otherwise specifies, such additional Securities will be issued with no more than de minimis original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or be part of a qualified reopening
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Securities may differ between series in respect of any matters. 
 Section 3.02.
Denominations. The denomination of each series of Securities issued as contemplated by Section 3.01 shall be set forth in the applicable supplemental subordinated securities indenture. 

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an
Authorized Officer. The signature of any of such officer on the Securities may be manual or by 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 Subordinated Securities Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Securities Administrator for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Securities Administrator in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 

  
 27 









 In authenticating such Securities, and/or accepting the additional responsibilities under
this Subordinated Securities Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

 (a) that all conditions precedent in this Subordinated Securities Indenture to the issuance and authentication of the
Securities have been complied with by the Company; and 
 (b) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Securities Administrator and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to customary qualifications specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject, as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

If such forms or terms have been so established, the Securities Administrator shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if
the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Subordinated Securities Indenture will affect the Securities Administrator’s or the Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture or
will otherwise affect the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to either the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, in either of their sole discretion. 

  
 28 









 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraphs, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at or prior to the time of authentication of
each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 A Company Order delivered in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraphs may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Securities
Administrator on original issue from time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Company Order, and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with the applicable supplemental subordinated securities indenture,
such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Company Order, provided the foregoing procedure is acceptable to the Securities Administrator. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Subordinated Securities 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
Securities Administrator 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 and that such Security is entitled to
the benefits of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the
Securities Administrator for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09 together with an Officer’s Certificate (which need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company,
for all purposes of this Subordinated Securities Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

If Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to
either (i) the depository or common depository (the “Common Depository”), for the benefit of DTC or Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, or (ii) the Securities Administrator as custodian for such Common Depository, in
any such case, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). 

  
 29 









 Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in
global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or
agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and
the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities
of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Subordinated Securities Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security of a series (the “Exchange
Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Securities Administrator definitive Securities of such series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depository to the Securities Administrator, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive
Securities of such series without charge and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series
of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon


  
 30 









 
such presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion
of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be
exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Subordinated Securities Indenture. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in registered form or permanent global registered
form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof. 

Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and
delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Subordinated Securities Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be
available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Securities Administrator and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of
such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person
at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Subordinated Securities Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01, any interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such
Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Securities Administrator of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Subordinated Securities Indenture, for credit without further interest on or
after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a
certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit B 

  
 31 









 
to this Subordinated Securities Indenture. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Securities Administrator immediately
prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company. 

Section 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Securities Administrator a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 10.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the
“Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed
“Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 

If and to the extent required under Luxembourg law, the Company shall cause to be kept at its registered office in Luxembourg a register
of registered notes, which shall be a duplicate copy of the Security Register, and the Security Registrar shall provide, on an annual basis or more frequently upon the reasonable request of the Company, a duplicate copy of the Security Register. In
the event of a conflict between the register of registered notes kept at the registered office and the Security Register, the Security Register shall control for the purposes of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

Upon due surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 10.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. 
 At the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any permanent global Security shall be
exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interest in a permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized
form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, then without unnecessary delay but in any event 

  
 32 









 
not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Securities Administrator definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such permanent global Security or the portion to be exchanged, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be
surrendered by the Common Depository or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Securities Administrator as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to
time in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without charge and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged, provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part and any endorsement thereon to reflect the amount represented by
such exchange, such permanent global Security shall be returned by the Securities Administrator to the Common Depository or such other depositary or Common Depository referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to
above. If a Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest,
as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise specified or contemplated by Section 3.01, any Book-Entry Security shall be
exchangeable pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Sections 3.04, 9.06 and 11.10 for Securities registered in the name of, and a transfer of a Book-Entry Security or any series may be registered to, any Person other than the Depository for such
Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Book-Entry Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, 

  
 33 









 
(ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Securities Administrator a Company Order that such Book-Entry Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registrable or
(iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event which after notice or lapse of time would be an Event of Default, with respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Book-Entry
Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such series, such
Book-Entry Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of, and the transfer of such Book-Entry Security may be registered to, such Persons (including Persons other than the Depository with respect to such series and its
nominees) as such Depository shall direct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Book-Entry
Security shall also be a Book-Entry Security and shall bear the legend specified in Section 2.04 except for any Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, Book-Entry Security pursuant to the
preceding sentence. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Subordinated Securities Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Securities
Administrator, the Securities Registrar or any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Securities Administrator and the Security Registrar or any transfer agent
duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made 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 Sections 3.04, 9.06 and 11.10 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the
day of the mailing of the relevant notice 

  
 34 









 
of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in
part. 
 Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture and/or applicable United States
Federal or state securities law. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar or the Paying Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
imposed under this Subordinated Securities Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depository participants or beneficial owners of interests 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 Subordinated Securities Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 3.06.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, the Company shall execute, and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new
Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 
 If
there shall have been delivered to the Company and the Securities Administrator (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Securities Administrator that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Securities Administrator shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this
Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other 

  
 35 









 
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Subordinated Securities Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, interest, if any, on any
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; provided, however, that each installment of interest (if any) on any Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to the Person entitled
thereto pursuant to Section 3.08, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by such Person inside the United States; provided, however, that if payment is to be
made pursuant to (ii) above, the Securities Administrator shall have received written wire instructions by no later than the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, every permanent global Security or Book-Entry Security will provide that
interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and or Clearstream, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common
Depository, as the case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent global Security or Book-Entry Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. 

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for or deferred or cancelled (if
permitted pursuant to the terms of the series of such Securities as established pursuant to the supplemental subordinated securities indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01), 

  
 36 









 
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 (a) or (b) below. 
 (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Securities Administrator an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Securities Administrator for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of such Special Record Date, and the
Securities Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause a copy of such notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder of Securities of such series at the Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Securities Administrator may, in addition, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper published in the English language customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York, but
such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following clause (b). 

  
 37 









 (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series
in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Securities Administrator. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Subordinated Securities Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in
lieu of any other Security shall carry any rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the
Paying Agent, and any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of, and premium (if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest (if any) on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the
Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 Except as provided in Section 3.05, owners of any beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Security shall not be entitled to
have Securities represented by such Book-Entry Security registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in certificated form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under
this Subordinated Securities Indenture. Members or participants in the Depository shall have no rights under this Subordinated Securities Indenture with respect to any Book-Entry Security held on their behalf by the Depository, and such Depository
may be treated by the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee as the Holder
of such Book-Entry Security under this Subordinated Securities Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Book-Entry Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the
Paying Agent, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator, 

  
 38 









 
the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository, as a Holder, with respect to
such Book-Entry Security or impair, as between the Depository and owners of beneficial interests in such Book-Entry Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of
such Book-Entry Security. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, any Paying Agent or the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Book-Entry Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests or for the delivery to any member of or participants in the Depository of any notice permitted or required to be given to the Holders of the Securities under this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Securities Administrator, be delivered to the Securities Administrator and such Securities shall be promptly cancelled by the Securities Administrator. The Company may at any time deliver to the Securities
Administrator for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Securities Administrator.
No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Subordinated Securities Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Securities
Administrator shall be destroyed by the Securities Administrator unless other instructions are furnished to the Securities Administrator by a Company Order. No cancelled Securities may be reissued or resold. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Book-Entry Security, nothing shall prevent the Company, the Securities Administrator
or any agent of the Company or the Securities Administrator, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and holders of beneficial interests in any
Book-Entry Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of such Book-Entry Security. 
 Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of any series, interest, if any on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 39 









 Section 3.11. Electronic Security Issuance. The Securities may, pursuant to a
supplemental subordinated securities indenture complying with Section 3.01 hereof, be issued by means of an electronic issuance system. Any such Security issuance instructions may specify the name, address and taxpayer identification number of
the Holder, the principal amount and Stated Maturity of the Security (if any), the interest rate to be borne by the Security and any other terms not inconsistent with such supplemental subordinated securities indenture. Nothing in this
Section 3.11 shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from issuing Securities by any means not inconsistent with the provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

Section 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in
use), and, if so, the Company and the Securities Administrator shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that a reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent, of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 

ARTICLE IV 

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 4.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless the supplemental subordinated securities
indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01 specifies that this Section 4.01 and either or both of Section 4.02 and Section 4.03 do not apply to a given series of Securities, the Company may at any time, at the option of its Board
of Directors as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate confirming the due authorization by the Company, elect to have either Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article IV. 
 Section 4.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 4.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 4.02, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from
its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of the series on the date the conditions set forth below 

  
 40 









 
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Securities of the series, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 4.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Subordinated Securities Indenture referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities of the series and this Subordinated Securities Indenture (and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, on demand of, at the expense of
and as prepared by the Company (such expense being documented), shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of the series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest (if
any) or Additional Amounts (if any) on, such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 4.04 hereof; 
 (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Article III and Section 10.02 hereof; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 

(d) this Article IV. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article IV, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 4.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 4.03 hereof. 

Section 4.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 4.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 4.03, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 hereof, be released from each of its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 10.10, 10.12 and 8.01 hereof with
respect to the outstanding Securities of the series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities will thereafter be deemed not
“outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other
purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the series, the 

  
 41 









 Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Subordinated Securities Indenture and such Securities will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 4.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 4.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 hereof, Section 5.01(d) hereof will not constitute Events of
Default. The Company’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall survive an exercise under Section 4.01. 

Section 4.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
under either Section 4.02 or 4.03 hereof: 
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Securities Administrator, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
as appointed by the Company, to pay the principal of, and interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any) on, the outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the
case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular Redemption Date; 
 (b) the Company must deliver to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel of recognized standing with respect to U.S. federal income tax matters confirming that the Holders and
beneficial owners of the outstanding Securities of the relevant series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance or Legal or Covenant Defeasance; with respect to a Legal
Defeasance, such opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect; 
 (c) no Default or Event of Default, if any, with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

(d) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to have a conflicting
interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any of the Company’s securities; and 

  
 42 









 (e) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 4.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 4.06 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S.
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Securities Administrator (or other qualifying securities administrator, collectively for purposes of this Section 4.05, the “Securities Administrator”)
pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities will be held in trust and applied by the Securities Administrator, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Securities Administrator may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any), but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator against any duly documented tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof or the principal, interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any), received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders
of the outstanding Securities. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the Securities Administrator will
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants as appointed by the Company expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Securities Administrator (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 4.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount
thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 4.06. Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Securities Administrator or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, or interest (if any) or Additional 

  
 43 









 
Amounts (if any) on, any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, interest (if any) or Additional Amounts (if any) has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company (such expense being documented) cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 4.07. Reinstatement. If the Securities Administrator or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or non-callable
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Subordinated Securities Indenture and the Securities will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03 hereof until such time as the Securities Administrator
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, or interest (if any) or Additional
Amounts (if any) on, any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Securities Administrator or Paying
Agent. 
 ARTICLE V 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 5.01. Events of Default. Except as expressly provided in any supplemental subordinated securities indenture with
respect to Securities of a series issued pursuant to Section 3.01, each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

  
 44 









 (a) default in any payment of principal or any premium on any Security of a series when due
(at Maturity, including upon redemption, or otherwise), which continues for 15 days; 
 (b) default in the payment of interest
(if any) and Additional Amounts (if any) on any Security of a series when due, which continues for 30 days; 
 (c) the
Company’s failure to comply with any other obligation contained in this Subordinated Securities Indenture (other than a covenant default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance
of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given to the Company by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator written notice, as provided in accordance with Section 1.05, specifying such default or breach and
requiring it to be remedied; 
 (d) if the Company is (or is deemed by law or a court to be) insolvent or bankrupt or presents a
request for controlled management (gestion contrôlée) or is granted a moratorium on payments or is unable to pay its debts, stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part of (or of a particular
type of) its debts within the meaning of any applicable law, proposes or makes any agreement for the deferral, rescheduling or other readjustment of all of (or all of a particular type of) its debts (or of any part which it will or might otherwise
be unable to pay when due), proposes or makes a general assignment or any arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of the relevant creditors in respect of any of such debts or a moratorium is agreed or declared in respect of or affecting
all or any part of (or of a particular type of) the debts of the Company or any event occurs which under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction has an analogous effect to any of the foregoing events; or 

(e) any other Event of Default expressly provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

Section 5.02. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, then in every such case the Trustee
or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the affected series may declare the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing
to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), in accordance with Section 1.05 hereof. Upon any such declaration, the Securities of such series shall become due and payable immediately. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to outstanding Securities of any series has been made and before a
judgment or 

  
 45 









 
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 that
series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (a)
the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (i) all overdue interest on all
Securities of that series; 
 (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which
have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; 
 (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; and 

(iv) all sums paid or advanced by either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder and the reasonable and
documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, its agents and counsel; 
 and 
 (b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other
than the non-payment of the principal and other amounts of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.04. 

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

Section 5.03. Other Remedies. Subject to the terms of the relevant series of Securities established under the supplemental
subordinated securities indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, if an Event of Default occurs or if the Company breaches any covenant or warranty under this Subordinated Securities Indenture or the Securities, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy to enforce any provision of the Securities or this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 
 The Trustee may
maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or 

  
 46 









 
omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 5.04.
Waiver Of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee may waive any past default under this Subordinated Securities Indenture affecting such
series, except an uncured default in the payment of principal of or interest on such series of Securities or an uncured default relating to a covenant or provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of each affected Holder. 
 Section 5.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee, in each case with respect to such series and subject to the limitations specified herein. Subject to Article VI herein relating to the Trustee’s duties, neither of the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator will be under any
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Indenture unless such Holder has offered an indemnity to its reasonable satisfaction against any loss, costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur. 

Section 5.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of Securities of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to this Subordinated Securities Indenture or the Securities of the series or for any remedy thereunder, unless: 
 (a)
such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office of a continuing Event of Default under the Securities of the series has occurred; 
 (b) Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the relevant series have made a written request to the Trustee to institute the proceedings in respect of
the Event of Default or breach in its own name as Trustee under this Subordinated Securities Indenture; 
 (c) the Holders of
the Securities of the relevant series have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the cost and other liabilities of instituting a proceeding and provided a written request to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; 

  
 47 









 (d) the Trustee for 60 days thereafter has failed to institute any such proceeding;

 (e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the
relevant series have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request, and 
 (f) the terms of
such series of Securities do not prohibit such remedy to be sought by the Trustee and/or the Holders, 
 it being understood and
intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain
or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Subordinated Securities Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 

Section 5.07. Rights of Holders of Securities To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subordinated
Securities Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of, and interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any) on, the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security (including in
connection with a Change of Control Offer, if such term is defined in the relevant supplemental subordinated securities indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01), or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
remaining unpaid amount of principal of, and interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any) on, the Securities and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable and documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 5.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial


  
 48 









 
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, dissolution, insolvency, liquidation,
winding-up or similar judicial proceeding) and shall be entitled and empowered to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding, and to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by the lien as specified in Section 6.07 on, and shall be paid out of,
any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement 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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 5.10. Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent, and each of their agents and attorneys in respect of their documented fees and for amounts due
under Section 6.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by any of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent and the costs and
expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Holders of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities
for principal, interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any),
respectively; and 

  
 49 









 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities
pursuant to this Section 5.10. 
 Section 5.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Subordinated Securities Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such
Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company shall be restored to its former position hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Subordinated Securities Indenture or in any suit against any of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Securities Registrar or the Paying Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, Securities
Administrator, Securities Registrar or the Paying Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 5.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee,
Securities Administrator, Securities Registrar or Paying Agent, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 5.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities.

 ARTICLE VI 
 THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR 
 Section 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a) Except during
the continuance of an Event of Default, if any, with respect to the Securities of any series of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Securities Indenture with respect to such series, and the Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Securities Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Subordinated Securities Indenture against the
Trustee; and 

  
 50 









 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Subordinated Securities Indenture; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Subordinated Securities Indenture, but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, has occurred with respect to Securities of any series and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Subordinated Securities Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, 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. 
 (c) No provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it
shall be finally proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

with respect to the Securities of such series; and 

  
 51 









 (iv) no provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or
not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

(e) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice or obtained actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no default or Event of
Default. 
 (f) The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Subordinated
Securities Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling
or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied
against, any part of the trust or (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Company delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Subordinated Securities Indenture believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 Section 6.02. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after
the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 7.03(c), notice of such default hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium (if any) or interest (if any) on, any Security of such series, or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of the Holders of Securities of such series, and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01 with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice


  
 52 









 
to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of
time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture
upon the faith thereof; 
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Subordinated Securities Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to
this Subordinated Securities Indenture, unless such Holders of Securities of any series shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, losses and liabilities which might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

  
 53 









 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, calculation or quotation, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee,
in its sole discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, in each case with reasonable prior notice to the Company; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any

 (h) in no event shall
the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of
any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and such notice references the Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture; 
 (j) the rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
Person employed by the Trustee to act hereunder; 
 (k) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure
or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, severe weather, acts of war or terrorism,
civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, the provisions of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services or Federal Reserve Bank wire service; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon
as practicable under the circumstances; 

  
 54 









 (l) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Subordinated Securities Indenture; 
 (m) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than

(p) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any other entity’s compliance with any covenants under this Subordinated Securities Indenture, any supplemental subordinated securities indenture, any
Notes or any other related documents. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or any other entity’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any
reports or other documents filed under this Subordinated Securities Indenture, any supplemental subordinated securities indenture, any Notes or any other related document; 
 (q) No provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, any supplemental subordinated securities indenture or any Notes shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Trustee to take or omit
to take any action, or suffer any action to be taken or omitted, in the performance of its duties or obligations, or to exercise any right or power, to the extent that taking or omitting to take such action or suffering such action to be taken or
omitted would violate applicable law binding upon it; 
 (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all email
communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Securities 

  
 55 









 
Administrator that the Securities Administrator deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information may be encrypted. The recipient (the “Email Recipient”) of the
encrypted email communication will be required to complete a registration process. Instructions on how to register and/or retrieve an encrypted message will be included in the first secure email sent by the Securities Administrator to the Email
Recipient. Additional information and assistance on using the encryption technology can be found at Citibank’s Secure Email website at http://www.citigroup.net/informationsecurity/dataprotect.htm or by calling (866) 535-2504 (in the U.S.)
or (904) 954-6181; 
 (s) The Trustee shall have the right to require that any directions, instructions or notices provided
to it be signed by an Authorized Person (as hereinafter defined), be provided on corporate letterhead and contain such other evidence as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee to establish the identity and/or signatures thereon. The identity of
such Authorized Persons, as well as their specimen signatures, title, telephone number and e-mail address, shall be delivered to the Trustee in a list of authorized signers and shall remain in effect until the applicable party, or an entity acting
on its behalf, notifies the Trustee of any change thereto (the person(s) so designated from time to time, the “Authorized Persons”); and 
 (t) To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies
each person who opens an account. When an account is opened, the Securities Administrator will ask for information that will allow the Securities Administrator to identify relevant parties. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge such information
disclosure requirements and agree to comply with all such information disclosure requests from time to time from the Securities Administrator. 
 Section 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Subordinated Securities Indenture or of the Securities, except
that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Subordinated Securities Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in its Statements of
Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

  
 56 









 Section 6.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar, any Calculation Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Calculation Agent or such other agent. 

Section 6.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the
Trustee all sums held by such Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall give to the Trustee notice of any default by the Company on the Securities in the making of any such payment. 

Section 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 

(a) to pay to each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by
it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator upon its request for all reasonable and duly documented expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
 (c) to indemnify each of the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator, its agents and counsel for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharges of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and 

  
 57 









 
funds held or collected by each of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator as such, (except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities), and the Securities
are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(d) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable bankruptcy law.

 Section 6.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and this Subordinated Securities
Indenture. 
 Section 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority and having its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment
of Successor. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 
 (b) The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered
to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


  
 58 









 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.12, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 The Company may
also remove the Trustee with or without cause if the Company so notifies the Trustee six months in advance and if no Event of Default occurs during the six-month period. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the
Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one
or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the 

  
 59 









 
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence
of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and
to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of that series and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, subject to Section 5.12, may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of the charges due it
pursuant to Section 6.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts. 

  
 60 









 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver a subordinated securities indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall
continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental subordinated securities indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental subordinated securities indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers
and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall
accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 

  
 61 









 Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating
Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series),
the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein. 
 Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The
Securities Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Securities Administrator to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Securities Indenture and shall be valid
and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Securities Administrator hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Subordinated Securities Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Securities Administrator or
the Securities Administrator’s certificate of authentication such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating 

  
 62 









 
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall continue to
be an Authenticating Agent provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Securities Administrator or such Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and to the
Company. The Securities Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Securities Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall promptly give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

 If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have
endorsed thereon, in addition to the Securities Administrator’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

  
 63 









 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within
mentioned Subordinated Securities Indenture. 
  

			
	 Citibank, N.A., as Securities
Administrator

	
	By:                           
                                         
                           


 If the Securities Administrator does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon
original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Securities Administrator, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply
with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint (at the expense of the Company) in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with
respect to such series of Securities. 
 Section 6.15. Certain Rights of the Securities Administrator. The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits provided to the Trustee under this Article VI (including but not limited to its right to be indemnified) are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Securities Administrator in each of its
capacities hereunder and to each of its Responsible Officers and other Persons duly employed by the Securities Administrator hereunder as if they were each expressly set forth herein for the benefit of the Securities Administrator in each such
capacity, Responsible Officers or employees of the Securities Administrator mutatis mutandis.

(a) not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Securities Administrator may reasonably require, of
the names and addresses of the Holders of such Securities as of such Regular Record Date, as the case may be, and 

  
 64 









 (b) at such other times as the Securities Administrator may request in writing, within 30
days after the 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, provided, however, that so long as the Securities Administrator is the
Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished. 
 Section 7.02. Preservation of Information; Communications to
Holders. 
 (a) The Securities Administrator shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names
and addresses of Holders of Securities (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to the Securities Administrator as provided in Section 7.01, (ii) received by the Securities Administrator in its capacity as Security Registrar
(or Paying Agent, if so acting) and (iii) filed with it during the two preceding years pursuant to Section 7.03(c). The Securities Administrator may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new
list so furnished. 
 (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as
“applicants”) apply in writing to the Securities Administrator, and furnish to the Securities Administrator reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such
application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series with respect to their rights under this Subordinated Securities Indenture or under the Securities of such series and
is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Securities Administrator shall within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

 (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with Section 7.02(a) (provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to investigate or confirm the information so provided), or 

(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series whose names and addresses

information so provided), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders of Securities of such series the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 

  
 65 









 If the Securities Administrator shall, after receiving direction from the Company, elect not
to afford such applicants access to such information, the Securities Administrator shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of such series whose name and address appears in the information preserved at
the time by the Securities Administrator in accordance with Section 7.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Securities Administrator of the

with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Company, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or would be in violation of applicable
law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections
or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the
Securities Administrator shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders of Securities of such series with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Securities Administrator shall be
relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 
 (c) Every Holder of Securities, by
receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee that neither the Company, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and
that the Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b).

(a) file with the Securities Administrator, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of

Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it will file with the Securities Administrator
and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange

the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental subordinated securities indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, the Securities

indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Subordinated Securities Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of

otherwise. 
 Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Subordinated Securities Indentures. Upon the execution of any
supplemental subordinated securities indenture under this Article, this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental subordinated securities indenture shall form a part of this Subordinated
Securities Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 

  
 72

succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue or be reduced, as the case may be, on such payment for the intervening period. The Company shall provide in its notice of any such Place of Payment to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator, notice of the Legal Holidays in such jurisdiction.

 73 









 
registration of transfer or for exchange and will maintain an office in the United States where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Subordinated

or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture may be served or fails to furnish
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
at the applicable Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office
or agency. The Company hereby designates the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof. 

Section 10.03. Appointment To Fill a Vacancy in the Office of the Trustee. Whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in
the office of the Trustee, the Company will appoint a successor trustee in accordance with Section 6.10 hereof so that there will at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities.

notice of that event to the Holders within 90 days after the Trustee has received written notice thereof. The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of such an event (except the non-payment of principal or interest) if a committee of its trust
officers determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

the Company upon becoming aware of the occurrence of, or what actions, if any, the Company proposes to take with respect to, each such Event of Default.

the Securities Administrator may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Subordinated Securities Indenture. 
 Section 10.08. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not, at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim, or to the extent permitted by law, take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Subordinated Securities
Indenture; and the Company hereby expressly waives (to the extent it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, but will, to the extent permitted by law, suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 A “Relevant Jurisdiction” means Luxembourg or any jurisdiction in which ArcelorMittal is

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.01. Applicability of this Article. Securities of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity, if

Section 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee and the Securities Administrator. The due authorization of the election
of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a certificate of an Authorized Officer. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator), notify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and the Redemption Price for such Securities, such notice to be accompanied by a written statement signed by 

  
 76 









 
an Authorized Officer of the Company stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default (if applicable to the Securities of that series) with respect to the Securities of
that series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured). In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Subordinated Securities Indenture, or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition or computation specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction, condition or computation. 
 In the event that
any election by the Company necessitates the retention of any agent by either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Company agrees that such retention shall be at the sole expense of the Company, subject to the Company’s prior
approval of such agent. 
 Section 11.03. Redemption at the Option of the Company. The provisions of any redemption
at the option of the Company shall only be applicable to a series of Securities if such applicability and the terms of such redemption are specified pursuant to Section 3.01. 

Section 11.04. Mandatory Redemption. The provisions of any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments shall only be
applicable to a series of Securities if such applicability and the terms of such redemption or payments are specified pursuant to Section 3.01. 
 Section 11.05. Cancellation of Redeemed Securities. Any Securities that are redeemed will be cancelled. 
 Section 11.06. Selection by Securities Administrator of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Securities Administrator, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption by random lot or by such other method as the Securities
Administrator shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple of the minimum authorized
incremental denomination above such minimum authorized denomination) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of portions of the principal
amount of global Securities of such series. 

  
 77 









 The Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 11.07. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. 
 All notices of redemption shall include the CUSIP number and state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 
 (b) the Redemption Price and any accrued interest, 
 (c) if less than all
Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, 

(d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, and any accrued interest thereon will become due and payable upon each such
Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, 
 (e) the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest thereon, and 
 (f) if
such be the case, that the installment of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is the Redemption Date is payable to the Persons in whose names such Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately
preceding the Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the
Company’s request, by the Securities Administrator in the name of, as prepared by and at the expense of the Company. 

Section 11.08. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Securities 

  
 78 









 
Administrator or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except
if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.09. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified together with any accrued interest thereon and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to
bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Securities for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 
 If the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest on any Security called for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) of such Security shall, until paid or
until payment is provided for in accordance herewith, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate, if any, prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 So long as it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Securities Administrator that an Event of Default is continuing hereunder, the Securities Administrator shall not redeem any Securities of any series
pursuant to this Article (unless all Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed) or mail or give any notice of redemption of Securities except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have
been made, the Securities Administrator shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any monies theretofore or thereafter
received by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article V and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall
have been waived as provided in Section 5.04 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the Redemption Date, such monies shall hereafter be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article. 

  
 79 









 Section 11.10. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed
only in part shall be surrendered at any Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Securities Administrator shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered. 
 Section 11.11. Open Market Purchases. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or the Securities, the Company or its Affiliates may, from time to time, purchase any Securities either in the open market at prevailing prices for such Securities at such time or in private transactions at a negotiated
price with the Holder or Holders thereof. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 12.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Subordinated Securities Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of
further effect as to all Securities of any series issued hereunder, when: 
  

	 	(a)	either: 

 (i) all
Securities of such series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company,
have been delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Securities of such series
that have not been delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Securities Administrator as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be
sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on 

  
 80 









 
the Securities of such series not delivered to the Securities Administrator for cancellation for principal and accrued interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any) to the date of maturity or
redemption; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Subordinated Securities Indenture
with respect to such series; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Securities Administrator under
this Subordinated Securities Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such series at Maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated
Securities Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Securities Administrator pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 4.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in
this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 6.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Section 12.02. Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 4.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Securities Administrator may determine, to
the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if any), for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Securities Administrator; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 If the Securities Administrator or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government
Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this Subordinated Securities Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has


  
 81 









 
made any payment of principal of, or interest (if any) or Additional Amounts (if any) on, any Securities because of 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 or Government Securities held by the Securities Administrator or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 SUBORDINATION OF THE
SECURITIES 
 Section 13.01. Securities Subordinate to Claims of Senior Creditors.

 (a) The subordination provisions applicable to a given series of Securities shall be specified in the
applicable supplemental subordinated securities indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, and shall be deemed to have been set forth in this Article XIII with respect to such series of Securities. 

(b) Each Holder will have a right against the Company in respect of or arising under (including any damages awarded for
breach of any obligations under) the Securities and this Subordinated Securities Indenture (including the applicable supplemental subordinated securities indenture) relating to them to claim for all amounts due to them in respect of the Securities
including the principal amount thereof (and premium, if any) and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. 
 (c)
The provisions of this Article XIII shall apply only to rights or claims payable under this Article XIII or to amounts payable pursuant thereto and under any Securities of any series and nothing herein shall affect or prejudice the payment of the
costs, charges, expenses, liabilities, indemnity or remuneration of either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator. 
 (d) The provisions of this Article XIII shall not be applicable to any amounts in respect of any of the Securities of any series for the payment of which funds have been deposited in trust with the
Securities Administrator or any Paying Agent or have been set aside by the Company in trust in accordance with the provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture; provided, however, that at the time of such deposit or setting aside, and
immediately thereafter, the foregoing provisions of this Article XIII are complied with. 
 Section 13.02.
Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Article XIII are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series on the one hand and the Senior
Creditors on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Subordinated Securities Indenture or in such Securities is 

  
 82 









 
intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Holders of such claims the principal of, and premium (if
any) and interest (if any) on, such Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms and this Subordinated Securities Indenture; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of
such Securities; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Securities of the series from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Subordinated Securities Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, of the Senior Creditors. 
 Section 13.03. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any present or
future Senior Creditors 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 Senior
Creditor or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such Senior Creditor may have or be otherwise charged with. 

Section 13.04. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of
the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of the Securities of the series shall be entitled to rely upon (a) any order or decree entered by any court in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in
which such bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or similar case or proceeding, is pending, or (b) a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent
or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the Senior Creditors and other claims against the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIII. 

Section 13.05. Neither Trustee Nor Securities Administrator a Fiduciary for Senior Creditors. Neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Senior Creditors or shall be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Subordinated Securities of the series or to
the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any Senior Creditors shall be entitled. 

  
 83 









 Section 13.06. Rights of Trustee and Securities Administrator as Senior Creditor;
Preservation of Trustee’s and Securities Administrator’s Rights. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any claims
of Senior Creditors which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other Senior Creditor, and nothing in this Subordinated Securities Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of any of its rights as such
holder. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under or pursuant to Section 6.07. 
 Section 13.07. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. At all times when a Paying Agent other than the Securities Administrator shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting
hereunder, the term “Securities Administrator” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) 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 Securities Administrator; provided, however, that Section 13.06 shall not apply to the Company or any affiliate of the Company if the Company
or such affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES 
 Section 14.01. Call and Notice of Holders’ Meeting. A meeting of Holders of any series may be called by the Securities Administrator at any time. The Company or the Holders of at least
10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may call a meeting if the Company or the Holders have requested the Securities Administrator in writing to call such a meeting and the Securities Administrator has
not given notice of such meeting within 20 days of receiving the request. Notices of meetings must include the time and place of the meeting and a general description of the action proposed to be taken at the meeting and must be given not less than
30 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, except that notices of meetings reconvened after adjournment must be given not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. At any meeting, the presence of
Holders holding Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take the action for which the meeting was called will constitute a quorum. Any modifications to or waivers of the Subordinated Securities Indenture or the Securities will be
conclusive and binding on all Holders of Securities of such series, whether or not they have given their consent (unless required under this Subordinated Securities Indenture) or were present at any duly held meeting. 

  
 84 









 Section 14.02. Communication by Holders of Securities with Other Holders of
Securities. Holders may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Subordinated Securities Indenture or the Securities. The Company, any guarantor, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Security Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(c). 
 Section 14.03. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more
Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled
to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and its counsel and
any representatives of the Company and its counsel. 
 Section 14.04. Quorum; Action. The Persons entitled to vote a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a
consent or waiver which this Subordinated Securities Indenture or the terms of such series expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the
Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting
shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of
such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned
meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly
the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum. 

  
 85 









 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.02, any resolution presented to a meeting
or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that,
except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.02, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Subordinated Securities Indenture or the terms of such series
expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is
present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series. 
 Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series,
whether or not present or represented at the meeting. 
 Section 14.05. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and
Adjournment of Meetings. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subordinated Securities Indenture, the
Securities Administrator may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04.
Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 or other proof. 

(b) The Securities Administrator shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint, a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting
shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities, in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman
and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting. 

  
 86 









 (c) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable supplemental subordinated securities
indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01 in respect of a given series of Securities, at any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to such number of votes as is equal to the ratio of the principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by such Holder or proxy, divided by the minimum denomination in which the Securities were issued under the applicable supplemental subordinated securities indenture; provided,
however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote,
except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy. 
 (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called
pursuant to Section 14.01 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be
held as so adjourned without further notice. 
 Section 14.06. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The
vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the
principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against
any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities
of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one, or more persons having knowledge of
the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 14.01 and, if applicable, Section 14.04. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Securities Administrator to be preserved by the Securities Administrator, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the
meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 

  
 87 









 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed
shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

                     and
                    ] of each year (each an Interest Payment Date) commencing on
                    , 20    , to the Holders of Securities registered as such as of close of business [on
                     and
                    ,] immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date in respect of the Securities is not a Business Day in the Place of
Payment, we will pay interest or principal, as the case may be, on the next Business Day. Payments postponed to the next Business Day in this situation will be treated under this Subordinated Securities Indenture as if they were made on the original
due date. Postponement of this kind will not result in a default under the Securities or this Subordinated Securities Indenture, and no interest will accrue on the postponed amount from the original due date to the next day that is a Business Day.

 Interest on the Securities will accrue from the Closing Date or, if interest has already been paid, from the
date it was most recently paid (each such period, an “Interest Period”). Interest on the Securities will be calculated in accordance with Section 3.10 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

Interest will cease to accrue on the Securities on the due date for their redemption, unless, upon such due date, payment
of principal is improperly withheld or refused or if default is otherwise made in respect of payment of principal, in which case interest will continue to accrue on the Securities at the rates set forth above, as the case may be, until the earlier
of (a) the day on which all sums due in respect of such Securities up to that day are received by the relevant Holder or (b) the day falling seven days after the Securities Administrator has notified the Holders of receipt of all sums due
in respect of the such Securities up to that seventh day, except to the extent that there is failure in the subsequent payment to the relevant Holders following such notification.

 (2) DEFAULTED INTEREST. Any interest on
the Securities which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this
series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may
be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Subordinated Securities Indenture. 
 (3) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) and Additional Amounts, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business in New York City on [                     or
                    ] (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 3.07
of the Subordinated Securities Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest. The Securities will be payable as to principal, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or
without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that
payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, all Securities the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or
the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(4) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Citibank,
N.A., the Securities Administrator under the Subordinated Securities Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may appoint one or more Co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (5) SUBORDINATED SECURITIES INDENTURE. The Company issued the Securities under an Subordinated Securities Indenture dated as of
[            ], 2013 between the Company, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Subordinated Securities Indenture and


  
 4 








 
those expressly made part of the Subordinated Securities Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the date of the Subordinated Securities Indenture and, to the extent
required by any amendment after such date, as so amended. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Subordinated Securities Indenture and the U.S. Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent
any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Subordinated Securities Indenture, the provisions of the Subordinated Securities Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(6) REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE
COMPANY. Redemption at the option of the Company shall only be applicable to these Securities if such applicability and the terms of such redemption are specified pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Subordinated
Securities Indenture. 
 (7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments shall only be applicable to these Securities if such applicability and the terms of such payments are specified pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of any redemption will be mailed at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder at its registered address. 
 (9)
OFFER TO PURCHASE UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. A requirement for the Company to offer to purchase any Securities following a
change of control shall only be applicable if such applicability and the terms of such redemption are specified pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture. 

(10) LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Section 4.02 of the
Subordinated Securities Indenture [shall be] applicable to the Securities. 
 (11) COVENANT
DEFEASANCE. Section 4.03 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture [shall be] applicable to the Securities. 
 (12) SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. The Subordinated Securities Indenture specifies the means by which it may be discharged and cease to be of further
effect with respect to the Securities. 
 (13) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE. The Securities are in registered form without coupons. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Subordinated Securities Indenture. The Security
Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may require a 

  
 5 








 Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may
require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Subordinated Securities Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security or portion of a Security selected for redemption. Also, the
Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed or selected for redemption or during the period between a record date and the corresponding
Interest Payment Date. 
 (14) PERSONS DEEMED
OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

(15) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Subordinated
Securities Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under
the Subordinated Securities Indenture at any time by the Company, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.
The Subordinated Securities Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Subordinated Securities Indenture and certain past defaults under the Subordinated Securities Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As set forth in the Subordinated Securities Indenture, the Subordinated
Securities Indenture may be amended or modified without the consent of any Holder of Securities in order, among other things: (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the issuance of additional Securities in
accordance with the limitations set forth in the Subordinated Securities Indenture; (iii) to provide for the assumption by a successor company of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and the Subordinated Securities Indenture in
the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iv) to comply with any requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with qualifying the Subordinated
Securities Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or (v) to correct 

  
 6 








 
or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Subordinated Securities Indenture, so long as that correction or added provision will not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect. 
 As set forth in the Subordinated Securities Indenture,
without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected, no amendment may, among other things: (i) modify the Stated Maturity of the Securities or the dates on which interest is payable in respect of the Securities;
(ii) reduce the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (iii) change the currency of payment of the Securities; (iv) impair the right of the Holders of Securities to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or
after the date due; (v) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any modification of or waiver of compliance with any provision of the Subordinated Securities
Indenture or defaults under the Subordinated Securities Indenture and their consequences; (vi) modify the provisions of the Subordinated Securities Indenture regarding the quorum required at any meeting of Holders; or (vii) modify the
Subordinated Securities Indenture with respect to the subordination provisions of the Securities in a manner adverse to any Holder. 
 (16) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Each of the following is an “Event of Default”: 

(1) default in any payment of principal or any premium on any Security of a series when due (at Maturity, including upon
redemption, or otherwise), which continues for 15 days; 
 (2) default in the payment of interest (if any) and
Additional Amounts (if any) on any Security of a series when due, which continues for 30 days; 
 (3) the
Company’s failure to comply with any other obligation contained in the Subordinated Securities Indenture (other than a covenant default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in Section 5.01 of the Subordinated Securities
Indenture specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given to the Company by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator written notice, as provided in accordance with
Section 1.05 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture, specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied; 

  
 7 








 (4) if the Company is (or is deemed by law or a court to be) insolvent or
bankrupt or presents a request for controlled management (gestion contrôlée) or is granted a moratorium on payments or is unable to pay its debts, stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part
of (or of a particular type of) its debts within the meaning of any applicable law, proposes or makes any agreement for the deferral, rescheduling or other readjustment of all of (or all of a particular type of) its debts (or of any part which it
will or might otherwise be unable to pay when due), proposes or makes a general assignment or any arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of the relevant creditors in respect of any of such debts or a moratorium is agreed or declared in
respect of or affecting all or any part of (or of a particular type of) the debts of the Company or any event occurs which under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction has an analogous effect to any of the foregoing events; or 

(5) any other Event of Default expressly provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the affected series may declare the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), in accordance with Section 1.05 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture. Upon any such declaration, the Securities of such series shall become due and payable immediately. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to outstanding Securities of any series 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 that series, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or
deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (a) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

 (b) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 

  
 8 








 (c) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (d) all sums paid or
advanced by either of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator hereunder and the reasonable and documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, its agents and counsel;

 and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal and other amounts of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.04 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee may waive any past default under the Subordinated Securities Indenture
affecting such series, except an uncured default in the payment of principal of or interest on such series of Securities or an uncured default relating to a covenant or provision of the Subordinated Securities Indenture that cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of each affected Holder. 
 Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, in each case with respect to
such series and subject to the limitations specified herein. Subject to Article VI of the Subordinated Securities Indenture relating to the Trustee’s duties, neither of the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator will be under any obligation
to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Subordinated Securities Indenture unless such Holder has offered an indemnity to its reasonable satisfaction against any loss, costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur. 

  
 9 








 No Holder of Securities of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Subordinated Securities Indenture or the Securities of the series or for any remedy thereunder, unless: 
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office of a continuing Event of Default under the Securities of the series has occurred; 

(2) Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the relevant series have
made a written request to the Trustee to institute the proceedings in respect of the Event of Default or breach in its own name as Trustee under the Subordinated Securities Indenture; 

(3) the Holders of the Securities of the relevant series have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the cost
and other liabilities of instituting a proceeding and provided a written request to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days thereafter has failed to institute any such proceeding; 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the relevant series have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with
such written request; and 
 (6) the terms of such series of Securities do not prohibit such remedy to be sought
by the Trustee and/or the Holders, 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Subordinated Securities Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce
any right under the Subordinated Securities Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Subordinated Securities Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal of, and interest (if any) and Additional Amounts (if
any) on, the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer, if such term is defined in the relevant 

  
 10 









 
supplemental subordinated securities indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Subordinated Securities Indenture), or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 (17) TRUSTEE
AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable. However, in the
event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined under the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, or resign. 
 (18) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Subordinated Securities Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder
by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 
 (19) AUTHENTICATION. This Security will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Securities Administrator or an authenticating agent.

 (20) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 

(21) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities, and each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation
is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

(22) Governing Law. THE SUBORDINATED SECURITIES INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF 

  
 11 









 
NEW YORK. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 86 TO 94-8 OF THE LUXEMBOURG LAW OF AUGUST 10, 1915 ON COMMERCIAL COMPANIES, AS AMENDED, SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE SECURITIES.
