to pay interest, including Additional Interest (as defined in the form of the [Debentures] of the _____Series set forth as Exhibit
A hereto), if any, on any [Debentures] of the __________ Series within thirty (30) days after the same becomes due

as contemplated in Section [312] of the Indenture [and paragraph 9 of this certificate] shall not constitute a failure
to pay interest for this purpose.

duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (herein referred to as the “Company”, which
term includes any successor Person under the Indenture (as defined below)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _______________,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of __________ Dollars on __________ (the “Stated Maturity Date”). The
Company further promises (subject to deferral as set forth herein) to pay interest on the principal sum of this _____Subordinated
[Debenture] due __________ (this “Security”) to the registered Holder hereof at the rate of ____% per annum,
in like coin or currency, [quarterly][semi-annually] in arrears on __________[,__________, __________] and __________ of each year
(each an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for, such interest payments
to commence on __________. Each interest payment shall include interest accrued from the most-recently preceding Interest Payment
Date to which interest has either been paid or duly provided for (except that (i) the interest payment which is due
on __________ shall include interest that has accrued from __________, and (ii) if this Security is authenticated during the
period that (A) follows any particular Regular Record Date (as defined below) but (B) precedes the next occurring Interest
Payment Date, then the registered Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive any interest payment with respect to this Security
on such next occurring Interest Payment Date). The Company also promises to pay Additional Interest (as defined below) with respect
to an Optional Deferral Period (as defined below) to the registered Holder of this Security, to the extent payment of such Additional
Interest is enforceable under applicable law, on any interest payment that is not made on the applicable Interest Payment Date,
as specified on the reverse of this Security. No interest will accrue on the Securities of this series with respect to the day
on which the Securities of this series mature. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment
of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to on the reverse
of this Security (the “Indenture”), be payable to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest installment
which shall be the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date so long as all of the
Securities of this series are held by a securities depository in book-entry form; provided that if any of the Securities
of this series are not held by a securities depository in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date will be the close of business
on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date; and provided further that
interest payable on the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date will be paid to the same Person to whom the associated principal
is to be paid. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who
is the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date and may 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 to be fixed by the Trustee for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest, notice of which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than ten (10) days
prior to such Special Record Date, or may 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 the Indenture.

Payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in New York City, the State of New York 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; provided, however, that, at the option of
the Company, interest on this Security may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address
shall appear on the Security Register or by a wire transfer to an account designated by the Person entitled thereto. The amount
of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (and for
any period shorter than a full [quarterly][semi-annual] period, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period
using 30-day calendar months).

purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. (All capitalized terms used in this Security which are not defined
herein, including the reverse of this Security, but which are defined in the Indenture or in the Officer’s Certificate shall
have the meanings specified in the Indenture or in the Officer’s Certificate.)

of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse of this Security by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued
in one or more series under an Indenture (For Unsecured Subordinated Debt Securities), dated as of __________ (herein, together
with any amendments thereto, called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such
instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, including the Board Resolutions
and Officer’s Certificate filed with the Trustee on __________, creating the series designated on the face hereof (herein
called the “Officer’s Certificate”), for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of this series and of the terms
upon which the Securities of this series are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated
on the face hereof.

by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with
respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b)
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate
the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof,
by his acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such
Holder upon said provisions.


 


The Indenture contains
provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth
in the Indenture, including the Officer’s Certificate described above.


 


If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and interest on the Securities of this
series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture; provided, however,
that the principal of and interest on the Securities of this series cannot be declared due and payable by reason of the occurrence
and continuation of an Event of Default specified in Section 801(c) of the Indenture.


 


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 of each series to be affected by such amendment to the Indenture at any time by
the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding
of all series to be thus affected. The 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 Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by Holders of the specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of this
series shall be conclusive and binding upon all current and 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 provided in and
subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder
shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this
series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding in respect
of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall
not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all series at the time Outstanding
in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall
have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.
The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.


 


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

of the interest payments, if any, will be inserted here.]

set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of
like tenor and of authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
