 SECTION 1.05 Global Securities.

not otherwise be issuable as, Notes in definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this First Supplemental Indenture, owners
of beneficial interests in such Global Securities shall not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no Global Security representing a Note shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like
denomination and to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its nominee. The rights of holders of such Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depositary. 

(c) A Global Security shall be exchangeable in whole or, from time to time, in part for Notes in definitive registered form only as provided in
the Indenture. If (i) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good standing as a “clearing
agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, at such time as the Depositary is required to be so registered, and the Depositary
so notifies the Company and, in each case, the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, (ii) any Event of Default or Default
has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes or (iii) subject to the procedures of the Depositary, the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Notes shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form and
executes and, in each case, delivers to the Security Registrar a written order of the Company providing that the Notes shall be so exchangeable, the Notes shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form; provided, that
the definitive Notes so issued in exchange for the Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000, or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the Notes to be
exchanged. Except as provided herein, owners of beneficial interests in the Notes shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to physical delivery of Notes in definitive registered form and shall
not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments
made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 1.05(c)
shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. 
 SECTION 1.06 Transfer. The Trustee is
hereby designated as Security Registrar for the Notes. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but payment may be required of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be

 SECTION 1.07 Defeasance. The provisions of Sections 13.02 and 13.03 of the Original
Indenture shall apply to the Notes. 
 SECTION 1.08 Special Mandatory Redemption by the Company. If, for any reason, the Transaction

be mailed (or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s standard procedures therefor), with a copy to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence of the event triggering such
redemption to each holder of Notes at its registered address. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee, in its capacity as
Paying Agent, on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights of
holders and beneficial owners under the Notes shall terminate. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, this Section 1.08 of the First Supplemental Indenture shall cease to apply to the Notes. 

SECTION 1.09 Redemption at the Option of the Company. 

(a) The provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.02 (subject to Section 1.09(d) hereof) and 3.03 of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

 (b) At any time and from time to time prior to October 12, 2027, the Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole
or in part, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and the Make-Whole Redemption Amount. 

(c) At any time and from time to time on or after October 12, 2027, the Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole
or in part, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

(c) The Company shall mail or caused to be mailed (or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, notice of any redemption
pursuant to this Section 1.09 transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s standard procedures therefor) at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the Redemption Date, to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed at the
holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, with a copy to the Trustee. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on or after the Redemption Date, interest shall not accrue on the Notes called for redemption. 

(d) Notwithstanding Section 3.02 of the Original Indenture, the notice of redemption with respect to any redemption pursuant to this
Section 1.09 need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof as described above. 

  
 7 








 (e) The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price with respect to any redemption
pursuant to this Section 1.09 promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price. 

(f) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, subject in all cases to applicable procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may select for redemption Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof (provided, that the unredeemed portion of any Note to be redeemed in part shall not be less than $2,000) and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part;
provided, that if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, interests in such Global Securities shall be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. 

SECTION 1.10 Optional Redemption for Changes in Tax Law. 

(a) The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Outstanding Notes, for cash, at its option upon not less than 30 days, and no
more than 75 days, notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each holder of such Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable) (a “Tax Redemption”), if: (i) on the next date on which any amount would be payable or deliverable in
respect of such Notes, the Company is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts; (ii) the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; and (iii) the requirement to pay
Additional Amounts arises as a result of: (A) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which change or amendment is announced on or after the Original Issue
Date of such Notes (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Original Issue Date of the Notes, such later date); or (B) any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or
application or administration of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment or change is announced on or
after the Original Issue Date of such Notes (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Original Issue Date of the Notes, such later date) (each of clause (A) and (B), a
“Change in Tax Law”). 
 (b) The Redemption Price for a Tax Redemption shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (the “Tax Redemption Date”) (unless the Tax Redemption Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the
immediately succeeding interest payment date, in which case the Company shall pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Redemption Price shall be equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the Redemption Price shall include all Additional Amounts (if any) with respect to such Redemption Price. The Tax Redemption Date must be a Business Day and a
Bermuda Business Day and must not be on or after the 30th day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity Date. 
 (c) The Company shall not
give any notice of a Tax Redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make payment of any Additional Amounts or withholding if a payment or delivery were then due. 

  
 8 








 (d) Simultaneously with providing notice of a Tax Redemption, the Company shall issue a press
release announcing such Tax Redemption. Prior to the publication or delivery of any notice of Tax Redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered by independent tax counsel to the effect that the Company has or will
become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee shall accept and rely upon such certificate and opinion (without further investigation or inquiry) and it shall be conclusive and binding on the holders
and beneficial owners of the Notes. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has given notice of a Tax Redemption, each holder of
the Notes subject to Tax Redemption shall have the right to elect that such holder’s Notes shall not be subject to such Tax Redemption. If a holder elects not to be subject to a Tax Redemption, the Company shall not be required to pay
Additional Amounts with respect to payments made in respect of such holder’s Notes following the Tax Redemption Date solely as a result of the relevant Change in Tax Law. In such case, all subsequent payments in respect of such holder’s
Notes shall be subject to any tax required to be withheld or deducted under the laws of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a result of the relevant Change in Tax Law. The obligation to pay Additional Amounts to any electing holder for payments made
in periods prior to the Tax Redemption Date will remain, subject to the exceptions set forth below under “Additional Amounts.” A holder of the Notes must exercise his, her or its option to elect to avoid a Tax Redemption by written notice
to the Trustee delivered in accordance with the Depositary’s standard procedures therefor no later than the 15th day prior to the Tax Redemption Date. 

(f) No Notes shall be redeemed if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or
prior to the Tax Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price). 

SECTION 1.11 Additional Amounts. All payments made by, or on behalf of, the Company under or with respect to the Notes, including, but
not limited to, payments of principal (including, if applicable, any Redemption Price) and payments of interest, shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges of whatever nature, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges imposed or levied by or within any jurisdiction in which the Company or any successor
is, for tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business or through which any payment is made or deemed made (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (each, as applicable, a “Relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction”) are required to be withheld or deducted from any payments made by the Company or its Paying Agent with respect to the Notes, the Company shall pay to the holder, of the Notes such Additional Amounts (the “Additional
Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any taxes on the Additional Amounts) shall equal the amounts that would have been received
by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable: 

  
 9 








 (a) for or on account of: 

 

	 	(i)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

to such Additional Amounts on presenting such Note for payment on the last date of such period of 30 days; or 

  

	 	(C)	the failure of the holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from the Company, addressed to the holder, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such holder’s
or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or to make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that due and timely
compliance with such request is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been
payable to such holder or beneficial owner; 

  

	 	(ii)	any estate, inheritance, gift, value added, use, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 


 

	 	(iii)	any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments or deliveries under or with respect to the Notes; 


 

	 	(iv)	any tax, assessment, withholding or deduction required by sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder (“FATCA”), any law,
regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any intergovernmental agreement between the United States of America and any other jurisdiction to implement FATCA or any law enacted by such other jurisdiction to
give effect to such agreement, or any agreement with the IRS under FATCA;

able to avoid such tax, assessment or governmental charge by presenting the relevant Note to, or otherwise accepting payment or delivery from, another paying agent or conversion agent; or 


 

	 	(vi)	any combination of taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v); or 


(b) with respect to any payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest on such Note, if the holder is
a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment or delivery to the extent that such payment or delivery would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for
tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a partner or member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, member or
beneficial owner been the holder thereof. 
 (c) The payment of principal of (including the Redemption Price, if applicable) or the payment
of interest on any Note or other amount payable with respect to such Note shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the Indenture to the extent that Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

 (d) If the Company is required to make any deduction or withholding from any payments or deliveries with respect to the Notes pursuant to
this Section 1.11 herein, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and the holders official tax receipts evidencing the remittance to the relevant tax authorities of the amounts so withheld or deducted.

This Global Certificate is in respect of a duly authorized issue of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) of Athene
Holding Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof). The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay
to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the amount of principal of the Notes represented by this Global Certificate on the Stated Maturity Date (unless redeemed prior to such date) shown above, and to pay interest thereon from the Original
Issue Date shown above, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date as specified above, commencing July 12, 2018, and on the Stated
Maturity Date at the Interest Rate per year shown above until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and on any overdue principal and on any overdue installment of interest at such rate to the extent permitted by law. As provided
in this Note, the Company under certain circumstances would be required to pay Additional Amounts to the holders of the Notes. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest
Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date) shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as specified above next
preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, that any interest payable at the Stated Maturity Date or on any Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid
or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid as provided in Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture. 







 Payments of interest on this Note shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective
Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that
any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not both a Business Day and Bermuda Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day that is a Bermuda Business Day (and without
any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. 

Payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and interest due on this Note at the Stated Maturity Date or upon
redemption shall be made upon surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The principal of, and premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and interest due on this Note shall be paid 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. Payment of interest (including payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date) shall be made, subject to such surrender where applicable and
subject to the Trustee’s arrangements with the Depositary, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or (ii) by wire transfer
at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States of America as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto. 

The Notes shall rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment
to the Notes; equal in right of payment to any of its liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. 

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Company (the “Securities”) issued and issuable
in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of January 12, 2018 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 12, 2018 (the “First Supplemental
Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Notes issued thereunder and of the terms upon which said Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof as the 4.125% Senior Notes due 2028, initially limited in aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000,000, and no further Notes shall be authenticated and delivered except as provided by Sections 2.05, 2.07, 2.11, 3.03 or 9.04 of the Original Indenture; provided, however, that the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes may be increased in the future with no limit, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, on the same terms and with the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the Notes, except for the issue price, Original Issue Date and, if
applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date; provided, that no Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form.
Any additional Notes having such similar terms shall constitute a single series of debt securities with the Notes under the Indenture; provided, that if any of such additional Notes are not issued in a “qualified reopening” or are
not treated as part of the same issue as the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP and ISIN number. Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Indenture. 
 2. This Note is exchangeable in whole or, from time to time, in part for Notes in definitive
registered form only as provided herein and in the Indenture. If (a) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Note or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be
registered or in good standing as a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, at such time as the Depositary
is required to be so registered, and the Depositary so notifies the Company and, in each case, the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case
may be, (b) any Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes or (c) subject to the procedures of the Depositary, the Company in its sole discretion determines that this Note shall be exchangeable for
Notes in definitive registered form and executes and delivers to the Security Registrar a written order of the Company providing that this Note shall be so exchangeable, this Note shall be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form;
provided that the definitive Notes so issued in exchange for this Note shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion
of this Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above or in the First Supplemental Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in this Note shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to physical
delivery of Notes in definitive registered form and shall not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar








 
shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in this Note, or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to Section 1.05(c) of the First Supplemental Indenture shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as the
Depositary shall direct. 
 3. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may
be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
 4. The 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 under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 5. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance
at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company pursuant to this Note and (b) restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions
apply to this Note. 
 6. If, for any reason, the Transaction is terminated prior to consummation, the Company shall be required to redeem
all, but not less than all, of the Notes, on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price. Notice of a special mandatory redemption shall be mailed (or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global
Securities, transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s standard procedures therefor), with a copy to the Trustee, promptly after the occurrence of the event triggering such redemption to each holder of Notes at its registered address. If
funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Trustee, in its capacity as Paying Agent, on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date,
on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights of holders and beneficial owners under the Notes shall terminate.
Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the foregoing provisions shall cease to apply to this Note. 
 7. (a) At any time and from time to
time prior to October 12, 2027, this Note shall be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date and the Make-Whole Redemption Amount. 







 (b) At any time and from time to time on or after October 12, 2027, this Note shall be
redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. 

8. (a) The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Notes for cash at its option upon not less than 30 days, and no
more than 75 days, notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each holder of such Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable) (a “Tax Redemption”), if: (i) on the next date on which any amount would be payable or deliverable in
respect of such Notes, the Company is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts; (ii) the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it; and (iii) the requirement to pay
Additional Amounts arises as a result of: (A) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, which change or amendment is announced on or after the Original Issue
Date of such Notes (or, if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Original Issue Date of the Notes, such later date); or (B) any amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or
application or administration of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment, order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice) which amendment or change is announced on or
after the Original Issue Date of such Notes (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Original Issue Date of the Notes, such later date) (each of clause (A) and (B), a
“Change in Tax Law”). 
 (b) The Redemption Price for a Tax Redemption shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (the “Tax Redemption Date”) (unless the Tax Redemption Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the
immediately succeeding interest payment date, in which case the Company shall pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the holder of record as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Redemption Price shall be equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the Redemption Price shall include all Additional Amounts (if any) with respect to such Redemption Price. The Tax Redemption Date must be a Business Day and a
Bermuda Business Day and must not be on or after the 30th day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity Date. 
 9. If less than all of the
Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, subject in all cases to applicable procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may select
for redemption Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (provided, that the unredeemed portion of any Note to be redeemed in part shall not be less than $2,000) and shall
thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part; provided, that if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities, interests in such Global Securities shall be
selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. 







 10. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest due on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

11. (a) As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the
Security Registrar and duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. 
 (b) Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
and the Security Registrar of the Company or the Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 1.03(a) of the First Supplement Indenture), whether
or not this Note be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor the Security Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. Except as provided in Section 1.03(a) of the First Supplemental Indenture, all payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due on this Note made to the registered holder hereof shall, to the extent of
the amount or amounts so paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note. 
 (c) The Notes are issuable
only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company. 

12. No recourse shall be had for payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or
otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

 13. This Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the internal laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be
construed in accordance with laws of said State.
