in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date for that Floating Rate Interest Period. The Calculation Agent will
request the principal London office of each of these banks to provide a quotation of such bank’s rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to that Floating Rate Interest Period will be the arithmetic
mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to that Floating Rate Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded

Floating Rate Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations are quoting as described above, Three-Month LIBOR for that Floating Rate
Interest Period will be the same as Three-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the Floating Rate Interest Period beginning on April 15, 2022, 0.46815%. The establishment of Three-Month
LIBOR for each Floating Rate Interest Period by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. 
 “Trading Day” means a day on which the Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or if not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a day on which the Common Stock is
traded or quoted on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which it is listed or quoted, or if not then listed or quoted on a U.S. securities exchange, a day on which the Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market. 

“Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or their respective successors) or, if each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or their respective successors) refuses to act as Treasury Dealer for the purpose of determining the Make-Whole Redemption
Amount or ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer specified by the Company for these purposes. 

“Treasury Price” means, with respect to a Redemption Date of the Debentures, the bid-side price for the Treasury
Security as of the third Trading Day preceding such Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by The Wall Street Journal on that Trading Day and designated “Treasury Bonds, Notes
and Bills,” as determined by the Treasury Dealer, except that: (i) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain that price information on that Trading Day, or (ii) if the Treasury
Dealer determines that the price information is not reasonably reflective of the actual bid-side price of the Treasury Security prevailing at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that Trading Day, then “Treasury Price” will instead mean the
bid-side price for the Treasury Security at or around 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that Trading Day (expressed on a next Trading Day settlement basis) as determined by the Treasury Dealer through such alternative means as the Treasury Dealer
considers to be appropriate under the circumstances. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption
Date of the Debentures, the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Treasury Security that corresponds to the Treasury Price (calculated by the Treasury Dealer in accordance with standard market practice and computed as of the second Trading
Day preceding such Redemption Date). 

  
 6 








 “Treasury Security” means the United States Treasury security that the
Treasury Dealer determines would be appropriate to use, at the time of determination and in accordance with standard market practice, in pricing the Debentures being redeemed in a tender offer based on a spread to United States Treasury yields.

 ARTICLE 2 
 GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DEBENTURES 
 Section 2.01 Designation, Principal Amount and
Authorized Denominations. 
 (a) Designation. Pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 of the Indenture, there is hereby
established a series of Securities of the Company designated as the 7.875% Fixed-To-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2042 (the “Debentures”), the principal amount of which to be issued shall be in accordance with
Section 2.01(b) hereof and as set forth in any Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, and the form and terms of which shall be as set forth hereinafter. 

(b) Principal Amount. Debentures in an initial aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 shall, upon execution of this Third
Supplemental Indenture, be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent for authentication, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debentures in accordance with a
Company Order. Additional Debentures may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Debentures issued under this Third Supplemental Indenture in all respects, except for any
difference in the issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first payment of interest thereon and the initial interest accrual date. Additional Debentures issued pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture will be consolidated with, and will
form a single series with, the previously outstanding Debentures issued pursuant to this Third Supplemental Indenture unless such additional Debentures will not be treated as fungible for U.S. tax purposes with the Debentures issued as of the date
of this Third Supplemental Indenture. Any additional Debentures issued under this Third Supplemental Indenture will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with the Debentures originally issued under this Third Supplemental Indenture.

 (c) Authorized Denominations. The denominations in which Debentures shall be issuable is a minimum of $25 principal amount
and integral multiples of $25 thereafter. 

  
 7 








 Section 2.02 Repayment. 
 The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Outstanding Debentures shall be due and payable on April 15, 2042 or, if such date is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (the
“Maturity Date”). 
 Section 2.03 Form. 
 The Debentures shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and shall be issued in fully registered definitive form without interest coupons. Principal of and interest on the Debentures
issued in definitive form will be payable, the transfer of such Debentures will be registrable and such Debentures will be exchangeable for Debentures bearing identical terms and provisions and notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Debentures and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company appoints the Trustee as its agent for the foregoing purposes, provided that payment of interest may be made at the option of the
Company by check mailed to the Holders at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account number of the Holders specified in writing by the Holders not less than
10 days before the relevant Interest Payment Date and entered in the Security Register by the Securities Registrar. The Debentures may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange at the Securities Registrar Office. The Debentures are
initially solely issuable as Global Securities. The Depository Trust Company is hereby designated as Depositary. Registered Debentures shall be physically transferred to all beneficial owners in definitive form in exchange for their beneficial
interests in a Global Security if the Depositary with respect to such Global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice. 
 In addition, beneficial interests in the Global Securities may be exchanged for definitive certificated Debentures upon request by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures
following the request of a beneficial owner seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under such Debentures in connection with an Event of Default. If the Company determines at any time that the Debentures shall no longer be represented by a Global
Security, the Company shall inform the Depositary of such determination which will, in turn, notify participants of their right to withdraw their beneficial interest from the Global Security. If such participants then elect to withdraw their
beneficial interests, the Company shall issue certificates in definitive form in exchange for such beneficial interests in the Global Security. Any Global Security, or portion thereof, that is exchangeable pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be
exchangeable for Debenture certificates registered in the names directed by the Depositary. 

  
 8 








 Section 2.04 Rate of Interest; Interest Payment Date. 

(a) Rate of Interest. The Debentures shall bear interest from and including April 5, 2012 to but excluding April 15, 2022 or
earlier Redemption Date of the Debentures, at the rate of 7.875% per annum, payable as set forth in clause (b) below computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Commencing on April 15, 2022, the
Debentures shall bear interest at a floating annual rate, reset quarterly on the first day of each Floating Rate Interest Period by the Calculation Agent, equal to Three-Month LIBOR, determined for each Floating Rate Interest Period as set forth
herein, plus 5.596% (the “Floating Rate”), payable as set forth in clause (b) below. The amount of Floating Rate interest payable on the Debentures for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the 360-day year. Interest scheduled for payment but not paid upon any Interest Payment Date, including interest not required to be paid due to deferral under the terms of this Third Supplemental
Indenture, shall bear Additional Interest from the originally scheduled payment date therefor at the rate borne by the Debentures; provided that (i) if a scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to a Fixed Rate Interest Period
is not a Business Day, interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest will accrue as a result of any such postponement, and (ii) if a scheduled Interest
Payment Date with respect to a Floating Rate Interest Period is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and interest will continue to accrue during such postponement.
Interest will accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the following Interest Payment Date. 

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the other provisions hereof, interest on the Debentures shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2012 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). 
 Section 2.05 Interest Deferral. 
 (a) Option to Defer Interest Payments.

 (i) So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Debentures has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures for one or more Interest Periods up to ten consecutive years, provided that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date, the
earlier accelerated maturity date of the Debentures or other redemption in full of the Debentures. If the Company shall fail to pay interest on the Debentures on any Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be deemed to elect to defer payment of
such interest on such Interest Payment Date, unless the Company shall pay such interest in full within five 

  
 9 








 
Business Days after any such Interest Payment Date. If the Company shall have paid all deferred interest (including Additional Interest) on the Debentures, the Company shall have the right to
elect to begin a new Deferral Period pursuant to this Section 2.05. 
 (ii) During a Deferral Period,
interest (including Additional Interest) will continue to accrue on the Debentures at the then applicable interest rate, compounded quarterly, as of each Interest Payment Date to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

(iii) The Company shall pay all deferred interest, including Additional Interest, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 307 of the Indenture applicable to Defaulted Interest. 
 (b) Payment of Deferred Interest. On the Maturity Date or
if the principal amount of the Debentures shall have been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded, the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, including deferred interest (including Additional Interest), from any
available funds. On any Interest Payment Date the Company may pay any accrued and unpaid interest from any available funds. 

(c) Notice of Deferral. The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Debentures of its election to
commence or continue any Deferral Period at least one Business Day and not more than sixty Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Notice of the Company’s election of a Deferral Period shall be given to the Trustee and each
Holder of Debentures at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Company to provide notice in accordance with this Section 2.05(c) of
its election to commence or continue any Deferral Period, including any deemed election as provided in Section 2.05(a)(i), shall not affect the validity of such deferral hereunder. 
 Section 2.06 Events of Default. 
 Solely for purposes of the Debentures,
Section 501 of the Indenture shall be deleted and replaced by the following: 
 Section 501 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Debentures, means any one of the following events (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental

benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. 
 The
Trustee shall have no right or obligation under the Indenture or otherwise to exercise any remedies on behalf of the Holders of the Debentures in connection with any failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or warranty of the Company
contained in the Indenture (other than any covenant referred to in Section 501(1) or (2)), unless the Trustee is directed to exercise such remedies pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Section 512 of the Indenture. In connection

received, hereby promises to pay to [Cede &
Co.]2, or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                         Dollars
($                        ), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on April 15, 2042 or, if such date is not a
Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Maturity Date”). 
 The Company further promises to pay interest
on said principal sum from and including April 5, 2012, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for (subject to the Company’s right to defer payment of interest as set
forth herein and in the Indenture), quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2012 and ending on April 15, 2022, at the rate of 7.875% per
annum, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and thereafter to pay interest on said outstanding principal sum quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each
year, commencing on July 15, 2022, at a floating annual rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 5.596%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the 360-day year, until the principal hereof is paid or duly
provided for or made available for payment. Interest scheduled for payment but not paid upon any Interest Payment Date, including interest not required to be paid due to the Company having exercised its right to defer payment of interest set forth
herein and in the Indenture, shall bear Additional Interest from the originally scheduled payment date therefor at the rate then applicable to this Security, as provided in the Indenture. 

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be
paid 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. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for 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 Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series 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 Indenture. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the
Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, 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 its behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and
(c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, 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. 
 As provided in the Indenture, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest for one or more
Interest Periods up to ten consecutive years, provided that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date, the earlier accelerated maturity date hereof or other redemption in full hereof. If the Company shall fail to pay interest hereon
on any Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be deemed to elect to defer payment of such interest on such Interest Payment Date, unless the Company shall pay such interest in full within five Business Days after any such Interest Payment Date. If
the Company shall have paid all deferred interest (including Additional Interest) hereon, the Company shall have the right to elect to begin a new Deferral Period as provided in the Indenture. 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in The City 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 payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 Any additional Securities issued under the same CUSIP as this Security shall be fungible with this Security for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 
 This Security is one 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 a Junior Subordinated
Indenture, dated as of June 6, 2008 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented and amended by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 5, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”, and together with
the Base Indenture, 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
Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture, and the Securities are subject to
all such terms. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $600,000,000. 
 All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 This Security shall be redeemable at the option of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In particular, this Security is redeemable: 

(a) in whole at any time or in part from time to time on or after April 15, 2022; or 

(b) in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to April 15, 2022 within 90 days after the occurrence of a Tax Event or Rating
Agency Event; 
 provided that no such partial redemption shall be effected (x) unless at least
$25 million aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series shall remain Outstanding after giving effect to such redemption and (y) if the principal amount of the Securities of this series shall have been accelerated and
such acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest, including deferred interest (including Additional Interest), shall have been paid in full on all Outstanding Securities of this series for all Interest Periods
terminating on or before the Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities of this series to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for such Securities shall state, among other things, the amount of Securities of this series to be redeemed,
the Redemption Date, if not 

  
 A-6









 
then ascertainable, the manner in which the Redemption Price shall be calculated and the place or places that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities to be
redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price together with accrued interest, interest will cease to accrue on any Securities of this series that have been called for redemption on the Redemption Date. 

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof
will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 Installments of accrued and unpaid interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of the Securities of this series, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates
according to their terms. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of the entire
indebtedness on this Security, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein. 
 If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in 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 under 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 each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting 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 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. 
 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 premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.


  
 A-7









 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25 and any integral multiples of $25 thereafter. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.
