engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Series II-A CP Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Series II-A CP Notes. 

Each Series II-A CP Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Series II-A CP Notes set forth in Exhibit A are

 No Series II-A CP Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid for
any purpose unless a certificate of authentication appears on the Series II-A CP Note substantially in the form provided for in this Indenture executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a duly authorized signatory. The certificate of
authentication upon any Series II-A CP Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that that Series II-A CP Note has been duly authenticated and delivered. 
 The Issuer will from time to time to the extent it determines to issue Definitive Series II-A CP Notes, furnish to the Trustee an adequate supply of Series II-A CP Notes. Definitive Series II-A CP Notes,
if any, shall be in substantially the form agreed upon by the Issuer and the Trustee and shall be serially numbered and shall have been executed by manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative (as hereafter defined), but shall
otherwise be uncompleted. Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes shall be represented by a single Master Series II-A CP Notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and which shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature by an
Authorized Representative in accordance with the Letter of Representations. Pending receipt of instructions pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee will hold the Master Series II-A CP Note in safekeeping for the account of the Issuer or the Clearing
Agency, as the case may be, in accordance with Trustee’s customary practice and the requirements of the Certificate Agreement. 
 Each Definitive Series II-A CP Note or Master Series II-A CP Note delivered to the Trustee shall be accompanied by a letter from the Issuer, as the case may be, identifying the Definitive Series II-A CP
Note or Master Series II-A CP Note(s) transmitted therewith, and the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Definitive Series II-A CP Note(s) or Master Series II-A CP Note(s) on the copy of such letter or pursuant to some other form of written
receipt deemed appropriate by the Trustee at the time of delivery to the Trustee of such Definitive Series II-A CP Note(s) or Master Series II-A CP Note(s). Pending the issuance of Definitive Series II-A CP Notes as provided in Section 2.13 of
this Indenture, all Definitive Series II-A CP Notes and Master Series II-A CP Note(s) delivered to the Trustee shall be held by the Trustee for the account of the Issuer or the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, for safekeeping in accordance with
the Trustee’s customary practice and the requirements of the Certificate Agreement. 
 Section 2.04 Authenticating Agent.

  

	 	(a)	The Trustee may appoint authenticating agents (who must be Designated Officers of the Trustee) for the Series II-A CP Notes. Any authenticating agent shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Series II-A CP Notes in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of the Series II-A CP Notes. Whenever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication of Series II-A CP Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, that reference includes authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent. Each authenticating agent must be acceptable to the Issuer. 

  

	 	(b)	Any institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of an authenticating agent shall continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of
any power or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the authenticating agent. 


  
 9 









	 	(c)	An authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the
agency of an authenticating agent by giving notice of termination to that authenticating agent and to the Issuer. 

  

	 	(d)	The Issuer agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 


 

	 	(e)	The provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.04 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent. 


 

	 	(f)	Pursuant to an appointment made under this Section, the Series II-A CP Notes may be endorsed using, in lieu of or in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in substantially the following form: 

 “This is
one of the Series II-A CP Notes described in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

	
	                             
                                         
                                 
	                 as Authenticating Agent

	By:                             
                                         
                          
	                Authorized Signatory”
	
	Dated:                            
                                         
                     


 Section 2.05 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Series II-A CP Notes.

 (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Series II-A CP Note Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and the restrictions on transfers of the Series II-A CP Notes as provided herein, a transfer agent and registrar (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”) shall provide for the registration
of the Series II-A CP Notes and of transfers and exchanges of the Series II-A CP Notes. The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall initially be the Trustee, and the Series II-A CP Note Register shall initially be kept at the office of the Trustee.
Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference in this Indenture to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and registrar appointed by the Trustee. 

The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Series
II-A CP Noteholders; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and the Trustee shall continue to perform its duties as Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Issuer at its own expense has appointed a successor
Transfer Agent and Registrar reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. If, after the date hereof, a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of that
appointment and of the location, and any change in the 

  
 10 









 
location, of the Series II-A CP Note Register. The Trustee may inspect the Series II-A CP Note Register at all reasonable times and obtain copies of it, and the Trustee may conclusively rely upon
a certificate executed by the Transfer Agent and Registrar as to the names, addresses and taxpayer identification numbers of the Series II-A CP Noteholders and the principal balances and numbers of the Series II-A CP Notes. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Series II-A CP Note at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar
maintained for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Series II-A CP Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate
principal balance. 
 At the option of a Series II-A CP Noteholder, Series II-A CP Notes may be exchanged for other Series II-A
CP Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal balance, upon surrender of the Series II-A CP Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Series
II-A CP Note is so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Series II-A CP Notes which the Series II-A CP Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

All Series II-A CP Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Series II-A CP Notes shall evidence the same obligations
and the same debt, and their Holders shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges under this Indenture, as the surrendered Series II-A CP Notes or the Holders thereof, as applicable. 

Every Series II-A CP Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied
by (i) a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and duly executed by, its Holder or any attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing, (ii) any representation letters or
certifications required by the Series II-A CP Notes and (iii) any other documents reasonably required by the Transfer Agent and Registrar. Each Series II-A CP Noteholder must satisfy all transfer restrictions set forth in the Series II-A CP
Notes. 
 Each Series II-A CP Note shall be registered at all times as herein provided, and any transfer or exchange of such
Series II-A CP Note shall be valid for purposes hereunder only upon registration of such transfer or exchange by the Transfer Agent and Registrar as provided herein. Payments on any Payment Date shall be made to Series II-A CP Noteholders of record
on the immediately preceding Record Date. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Series II-A CP Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar or any co-transfer agent and registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the
Series II-A CP Notes. 
 (b) The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall at all times maintain in The City of New York, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Series II-A CP Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. 

  
 11 









 (c) No Series II-A CP Note may be offered, sold, delivered or transferred (including,
without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) except to Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) and Qualified Purchasers (“QPs”) (each, as defined in Exhibit B hereto), in each case purchasing for their own account. Each Series
II-A CP Note shall bear a restrictive legend to the foregoing effect substantially in the form of the legends on the face of the form of Series II-A CP Note at Exhibit A. 
 (d) Each Prospective Owner shall represent and warrant in writing in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto, to the Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Series II-A CP Note Registrar and any of
their respective successors that: 
 (i) Such Person is duly authorized to purchase such Series II-A CP Notes and its purchase of
investments having the characteristics of such Series II-A CP Notes is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible
or impermissible investments that is applicable to the investor; and 
 (ii) Such Person understands that each holder of such
Series II-A CP Note, by virtue of its acceptance thereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture. 

(e) Each Prospective Owner of a Series II-A CP Note shall represent and warrant in writing, in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B hereto, as applicable, to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Series II-A CP Note Registrar and any of their respective successors that: 
 (i) Such Person is a QIB or QP and is acquiring such Series II-A CP Note for its own account or for the account of one or more QIBs or QPs for whom it is authorized to act; and 

(ii) Such Person understands that such Series II-A CP Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that, if in the future
it decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Series II-A CP Notes, such Series II-A CP Notes may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a QIB or QP that is
purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account of a QIB or QP, in each case in compliance with the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (f) In the event that a Series II-A CP Note is transferred to a Person that does not meet the requirements of this Section 2.05, such transfer shall be of no force and effect, shall be void ab
initio, and shall not operate to transfer any rights to such Person, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer, the Trustee or any intermediary; and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall make any payments on such
Note for as long as such Person is the Series II-A CP Noteholders of such Series II-A CP Note. 
 (g) Each Holder of a Series
II-A CP Note (or Note Owner) desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer and the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal
and state 

  
 12 









 
securities laws and any other restrictions specified in this Section 2.05. Each holder of a Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note shall be deemed to have consented to such transfer restrictions.

 (h) The Trustee shall cause each Series II-A CP Note to contain a legend substantially similar to the applicable legend
provided in Exhibit A hereto stating that transfer of such Notes is subject to certain restrictions as set forth herein. 
 (i)
Any purported transfer of a Series II-A CP Note (or any interest therein) not in accordance with this Section 2.05 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder. 

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Issuer will have the ability to monitor transfers of the Series II-A CP Notes while they are in
book-entry form and neither will have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes in violation of any of the transfer restrictions described in this Section 2.05. 
 Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Series II-A CP Notes. 

If (a) the Trustee receives evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Series II-A CP Note, and
there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee harmless or (b) any mutilated Series II-A CP Note is surrendered to the Trustee, then, in
the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Trustee that the Series II-A CP Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series II-A CP Note, a replacement Series II-A CP Note of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 However, if the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series II-A CP Note shall have become or within seven days shall be due
and payable, or shall have been selected or called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Series II-A CP Note, the Issuer may pay the Series II-A CP Note without its surrender, except that any mutilated Series II-A CP Note shall be
surrendered. If a bona fide purchaser of the original Series II-A CP Note in lieu of which a replacement Series II-A CP Note was issued (or payment was made) presents for payment the original Series II-A CP Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be
entitled to recover the replacement Series II-A CP Note (or the payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking the replacement Series II-A CP Note from the Person to whom the replacement Series II-A CP Note was delivered or
any assignee of that Person, except a bona fide purchaser. 
 Upon the issuance of any replacement Series II-A CP Note under
this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of the Series II-A CP Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on that issuance and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected with that issuance. 

  
 13 









 Every replacement Series II-A CP Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series II-A CP Note shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of a claim against the Issuer secured by the lien of this Indenture, as if originally issued, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen
Series II-A CP Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any other duly issued Series II-A CP Notes. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude all other rights and remedies regarding the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series II-A CP Notes. 
 Section 2.07 Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentation for registration of transfer of any Series II-A CP Note, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or
the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Series II-A CP Note is registered as the owner of that Series II-A CP Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms herein and for all other purposes whatsoever. Neither
the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.08
Appointment of Paying Agent. 
 The Trustee shall always be a Paying Agent for the Series II-A CP Notes (and the Trustee
hereby accepts its appointments as a Paying Agent hereunder). The Issuer may appoint additional Paying Agents and may vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. Any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer
shall be a bank or other financial institution which, on the date of appointment, has short-term debt ratings of at least “P-1” from Moody’s and “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s. 

Notice of all changes in the identity or specified office of a Paying Agent shall be delivered promptly to the Series II-A CP Noteholders
by the Issuer. 
 Section 2.09 Access to List of Series II-A CP Noteholders’ Names and Addresses. 

(a) The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Issuer, the Trustee, any Owner or any Paying Agent
requesting it a list of the names and addresses of the Series II-A CP Noteholders within five Business Days after receipt by the Transfer Agent and Registrar of a written request therefor from that Person; provided, however, that in the case of a
person claiming to be an Owner requesting a list of such names and addresses the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall not furnish such list until the Issuer shall have authorized release of such list and the Trustee shall have no liability for such
release or the identity of the requesting person. 
 (b) Every Series II-A CP Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Series II-A
CP Note, agrees that none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any of their respective agents and employees shall be held accountable for the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Series II-A
CP Noteholders pursuant to clause (a) above. 

  
 14 









 Section 2.10 Cancellation. 

All Series II-A CP Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange, or redemption shall be delivered to the Trustee and
promptly canceled by it in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Series II-A CP Notes previously authenticated and delivered that the Issuer may have acquired in any lawful
manner. All Series II-A CP Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. No Series II-A CP Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Series II-A CP Notes canceled as

 Section 2.11. Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes. 
 The Series II-A CP
Notes will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes or Master Series II-A CP Notes representing Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes, to be delivered to, or to the Trustee, as custodian for, the Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The
Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Owner of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes thereof will receive a Definitive Series II-A
CP Note representing such Series II-A CP Note Owner’s interest in such Book-Entry Note, except as provided in Section 2.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Series II-A CP Notes”) have been
issued to such Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes pursuant to Section 2.13: 
  

	 	(i)	the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; 

 (ii) the Note Registrar, the Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book
Entry Series II-A CP Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes; 

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this
Section shall control; 
 (iv) the rights of Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes shall be exercised only through the
Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless
and until Definitive Series II-A CP Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, neither the Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall register any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note; and the initial Clearing Agency will make book
entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and 

  
 15 









 (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions
or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding balance of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from
Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
Trustee. 
 Section 2.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. 
 Whenever a notice or other communication to the Series II-A CP Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Series II-A CP Notes shall have been issued to such Owners of Book
Entry Series II-A CP Notes pursuant to Section 2.13, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to
such Series II-A CP Noteholders. 
 Section 2.13. Definitive Series II-A CP Notes. 

If (i) the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book Entry
Series II-A CP Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Series II-A CP Note Owners of the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes representing beneficial interests
aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Balance of the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of
such Series II-A CP Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes, the Trustee and the Note Registrar of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Series II-A CP Notes
to Owners of Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the typewritten Notes representing the Book Entry Series II-A CP Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Issuer shall execute and the Note Registrar shall authenticate the Definitive Series II-A CP Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Series II-A CP Notes, the Trustee and the Issuer shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive
Series II-A CP Notes as Noteholders. 
 Section 2.14 Series II-A CP Note Issuance Procedures. 

(a) On the initial Closing Date, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Master Series II-A CP Note,
which shall not contain a specified principal amount but shall represent the entire amount of Series II-A CP Notes Outstanding from time to time hereunder; provided that the maximum principal aggregate amount of the Series II-A CP Notes shall not
exceed $150,000,000 at any time. The Master Series II-A CP Note shall be held by Trustee as Issuing Agent and custodian for the Depository. 

  
 16 









 (b) From time to time during the term of this Indenture and subject to the terms and

shall withdraw the respective Definitive Series II-A CP Notes from safekeeping and in accordance with the Instructions so received, take the following actions with respect to each such Definitive Series II-A CP Notes: 

(i) date each such Definitive Series II-A CP Notes the date of issuance thereof (which shall be a Business Day) and insert the maturity
date thereof (provided that the Authorized Representative shall ensure that such date is a Business Day and that it shall not less than 27 days or more than 270 days from the date of issue) and the face amount (provided that the Authorized
Representative shall ensure that such face amount is not less than $100,000) thereof in figures; 
 (ii) authenticate (by
countersigning) each such Definitive Series II-A CP Notes in the appropriate space provided thereon; and 
 (iii) deliver in the

 (c) In the case of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes, from time to time during the term of this Indenture and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, and upon the Trustee’s timely receipt of written or telecopy instructions, notice transmitted directly to the Trustee’s computers or in such a manner as the Trustee then employs as its normal business
practices, and confirmed by the Issuer by the submission of an Issuance Notice, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, from an Authorized Representative, on the day immediately preceding the day of issuance ( to be followed
up by the Issuer’s entry in the “MMI/OIS” system (or any successor to such system) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the day of issuance) of any Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes (in the case of instructions from an
Authorized Representative) the Trustee shall give issuance instructions for the issuance of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes to the Clearing Agency in a manner set forth in, and take other actions as are required by, the Letter of Representations and
the Certificate Agreement. Instructions for the issuance of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes shall include the following information with respect to each Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note: 

 

	 	(i)	the date of issuance of each such Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note (which shall be a Business Day); 


  
 17 










	 	(ii)	the maturity date of each such Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note (provided that the Authorized Representative shall ensure that such date is a Business Day and that it
shall not be less than 27 days or more than 270 days from the date of issue); 

  

	 	(iii)	the face amount (provided that the Authorized Representative shall ensure that such face amount is not less than $100,000) in figures; and 


 

	 	(iv)	the Interest Rate or discount factor. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions with respect to Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes to be issued on the date of this Agreement shall be provided not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the date of issuance to be followed up by the Issuer’s entry in the “MMI/OIS” system not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the day of issuance. 
 (d) Trustee shall send a report (by telecopy or other means permitted hereunder) except if otherwise provided to the Issuer on a monthly basis of the Trustee’s issuance of Series II-A CP Notes under
this Section 2.14, including the maturity date and face amounts of each Series II-A CP Note issued. 
 (e) Instructions
must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on the day immediately preceding the day of issuance, for physical issuance or for book-entry issuance ( to be followed up by the Issuer’s entry in the
“MMI/OIS” system (or any successor to such system) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the day of issuance). 
 (f) The Issuer understands that although Trustee has been instructed to deliver Series II-A CP Notes against payment, delivery of Series II-A CP Notes may, in accordance with the custom prevailing in the
commercial paper market, be made before receipt of payment in immediately available funds. Therefore, once Trustee has delivered a Series II-A CP Note as instructed by the Issuer, the Issuer shall bear the risk that a Series II-A CP Note purchaser
fails to remit payment for the Series II-A CP Note. Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer for any failure or inability on the part of a purchaser to make payment for Series II-A CP Notes. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Trustee to
purchase any Series II-A CP Note or expend its own funds for the purchase price of a Series II-A CP Note or Series II-A CP Notes. 
 (g) Except as may otherwise be provided in the Letter of Representations, if at any time the Issuer instructs Trustee to cease issuing Definitive Series II-A CP Notes and to issue only Book-Entry Series
II-A CP Notes, the Trustee agrees that all Series II-A CP Notes will be issued as Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes and that no Definitive Series II-A CP Notes shall be exchanged for Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes unless and until the Trustee have
received written instructions from an Authorized Representative to the contrary. 
 (h) It is understood that Trustee is not
under any obligation to assess or review the financial condition or credit worthiness of any person to or for whose account Trustee is instructed to deliver a Series II-A CP Note pursuant to instructions from an Authorized Representative or to
advise the Issuer as to the results of any such appraisal or investigation 

  
 18 









 
Trustee may have conducted on its own or of any adverse information concerning any such person that may in any way have come to Trustee’s attention. 

(i) It is understood that the Clearing Agency may request the delivery of Definitive Series II-A CP Notes in exchange for Book-Entry
Series II-A CP Notes upon the termination of the Clearing Agency’s services pursuant to the Clearing Agency Letter of Representations. Accordingly, upon such termination, Trustee is authorized to complete and deliver Definitive Series II-A CP
Notes in partial or complete substitution for Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes of the same face amount and maturity as requested by the Clearing Agency. Upon the completion or delivery of any such Definitive Series II-A CP Notes, Trustee shall
annotate its records regarding the Master Series II-A CP Note with respect to such Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes to reflect a corresponding reduction in the face amount of the Outstanding Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes. Trustee’s authority
to so complete and deliver such Definitive Series II-A CP Notes shall be irrevocable at all times from the time a Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note is purchased until the indebtedness evidenced thereby is paid in full. 

(j) If Trustee shall receive instructions (confirmed in writing in accordance with this Indenture) from the Issuer not to issue or
deliver Series II-A CP Notes, until revoked in writing or superseded by further written instructions from the Issuer, Trustee shall not issue or deliver Series II-A CP Notes, provided, however, that, Trustee shall be required to deliver Series II-A
CP Notes in respect of agreements for the sale of Series II-A CP Notes concluded by an Authorized Representative prior to receipt by the Authorized Representative of notice of such instructions from the Issuer, if the Authorized Representative shall
have confirmed such delivery to Trustee in writing prior to Trustee’s delivery of the Series II-A CP Notes. For purposes of this Section (i), Trustee may rely on written notice given or delivered to Trustee by an Authorized Representative as to
whether any particular Series II-A CP Notes are to be issued in respect of such agreements concluded by such Authorized Representative, and Trustee shall have no obligation to make any other or further investigation. 

(k) Each issuance of Series II-A CP Notes hereunder shall be subject to the conditions (to be monitored by the Issuer) that: (i) each
representation, warranty and covenant of the Issuer contained in this Indenture is satisfied on the date of such issuance, (ii) there shall be no occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default that remains uncured, and (iii) there shall
have been confirmed by the Securities Intermediary to the Trustee, on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, that there is no Margin Value Deficiency (i.e., the aggregate Series II-A CP Note Principal Outstanding immediately after such
issuance, taking into account any concurrent maturities and redemptions, shall not exceed the Margin Value), and no issuance shall occur unless these conditions are satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the confirmation from the Securities
Intermediary with respect to Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes to be issued on the date of this Agreement shall be provided not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date of issuance, or promptly thereafter. 

Section 2.15 Payment of Interest and Principal; Optional Redemption. 
 (a) Each Series II-A CP Note shall either (i) be sold at a discount to the face or par amount thereof and not bear interest or (ii) accrue interest at the stated Series II-A CP Note Rate


  
 19 









 
and such interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. If Series II-A CP Notes are issued with Interest, such Interest shall be computed on each such Series II-A CP Note on the basis
of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in each Interest Accrual Period. The principal of the Series II-A CP Notes shall be payable on the related Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of
the Series II-A CP Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Trustee, or Majority CP Holders have declared the Series II-A CP Notes to be
immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments on the Series II-A CP Notes shall be made to the Series II-A CP Noteholders entitled thereto. 

(b) By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date, Issuer shall transfer to Paying Agent for deposit in the Note Account
immediately available funds at least equal to the sum of any Series II-A CP Note Interest and the aggregate principal amount of all Series II-A CP Notes maturing on such Payment Date. In the event Issuer fails to make the payment by such time, the
Trustee may provide DTC with a “refusal to pay” notice. Paying Agent shall then pay on the Payment Date to each holder of the Series II-A CP Notes (which may, in the case of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes held by Paying Agent pursuant to
the Certificate Agreement, be the Clearing Agency or a nominee of the Clearing Agency), (i) Series II-A CP Note Interest, if any, and (ii) the principal amount of all Series II-A CP Notes maturing on such Payment Date that are presented to
Paying Agent for payment at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day (or if presented after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, then on the next succeeding Business Day) to the extent of funds available in the Note Account. Upon payment by
Paying Agent as aforesaid, Paying Agent shall mark Definitive Series II-A CP Note(s) presented as paid, cancel such Definitive Series II-A CP Note(s) and dispose of such cancelled Definitive Series II-A CP Notes in accordance with Section 2.10
of this Indenture. After payment of any matured Book-Entry Series II-A CP Note, Paying Agent shall also annotate its records to reflect the remaining aggregate Outstanding principal amount of Book-Entry Series II-A CP Notes in accordance with the
Letter of Representations. 
 (c) Any Series II-A CP Note Interest and principal payable on the Maturity Date of any Definitive
Series II-A CP Note shall be paid on the applicable Payment Date (to the extent of funds available in the Note Account) to the Person in whose name such Series II-A CP Note is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class postage prepaid
to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date or, upon written request made to the Paying Agent with a copy to the Trustee, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date, by the Holder of a Series II-A CP Note by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request and at the expense of such Series II-A CP Noteholder. 

(d) Upon the request of a Series II-A CP Noteholder, the Issuer may agree to (but in no event shall Issuer be required to) redeem some or
all of such Noteholder’s Series II-A CP Notes. If the Issuer agrees to such a redemption, the Issuer shall immediately notify the Trustee of the particular Series II-A CP Notes to be redeemed, including the related Maturity Date (and the new
redemption date), the principal amount of the redemption and the CUSIP number. The Trustee and the Issuer shall agree upon the procedures to be followed to execute such redemption 

  
 20 









 
request. For all purposes hereunder, the redemption date shall be deemed to be the new Maturity Date for such Series II-A CP Notes so redeemed. 

Section 2.16 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Issuer in issuing the Series II-A CP Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee 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 Series II-A CP Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Series II-A CP Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in
the “CUSIP” numbers.

 For the purposes of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.01
and made by the Issuer on the initial Closing Date, “Series II-A CP Notes” shall mean the Series II-A CP Notes issued on such Closing Date. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.01 shall survive the grant and
assignment of the respective Collateral to the Trustee. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee, as of each Closing Date that the representations and warranties of the Issuer set forth in this Section 3.01 are true and correct

 Section 3.03 Collateral Maintenance; Substitution; Trustee Daily Collateral Reports. 

On the initial Closing Date, the Issuer shall have deposited in the Collateral Account, Eligible Collateral with a Margin Value of not
less than the Obligation Amount. At or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time each Business Day thereafter, Securities Intermediary will determine the Margin Value of the Collateral, in accordance with Article III of the Collateral Account Control
Agreement. If the Securities Intermediary notifies the Issuer at or before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day of the existence of a Margin Deficiency (taking into account any new issuance, maturities or redemptions), then on or before
3:30 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day, the Issuer shall deliver to Securities Intermediary for deposit into the Collateral Account an amount of Collateral at least equal to the Margin Deficiency. If the Securities Intermediary notifies
the Issuer after 1:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day of the existence of a Margin Deficiency, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to deliver on or before the close of business on such Business Day, to Securities Intermediary for
deposit into the Collateral Account an amount of Collateral at least equal to the Margin Deficiency; provided, however, that in no case shall the Issuer deliver such Collateral after 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the following Business Day.

 Assuming that Securities Intermediary has not received a Notice of Exclusive Control (in the form of Exhibit C hereto) from
the Trustee, as Secured Party, pursuant to Section 5.04, and provided that there shall not be a Collateral Deficiency immediately after any substitution referred to herein, the Issuer shall be permitted at any time prior to 3:30 p.m. New York
City time during any Business Day, to substitute new Eligible Collateral for existing Eligible Collateral in the Collateral Account having at least the same market value as the Eligible Collateral for which the substitution is made held; provided
however that on any Business Day on which new Series II-A CP Notes are being issued, no such substitutions shall be permitted after 12:00 noon New York City time. Such substitutions shall be effectuated by the Securities Intermediary upon receipt of
Oral or Written Instructions of the Issuer in the manner specified in Article III of the Collateral Account Control Agreement. 

The Trustee shall obtain from the Securities Intermediary’s data base, Access Edge, the information needed to prepare and shall
prepare and deliver a Daily Collateral Report on each Business Day to the Issuer. The Daily Collateral Report shall be made available through GCT Investor Reporting to beneficial owners of the Series II-A CP Notes requesting such access. 

Section 3.04 Money for Series II-A CP Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which that Paying
Agent agrees with the Trustee that it will, and the Trustee hereby agrees in its capacity as Paying Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section, that it will: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due on the Series II-A CP Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to them until those sums are paid to the Persons entitled to them
or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and pay those sums to the Persons entitled to them as provided in this Indenture; 

  
 24 









 (ii) give the Issuer and the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer in the making of
any payment required to be made on the Series II-A CP Notes of which it has actual knowledge; 
 (iii) at any time during the
continuance of any payment default on the Series II-A CP Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it for the payment of Notes; 

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Series II-A CP
Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met for a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and 

(v) withhold from any payments made by it on any Series II-A CP Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed on them and comply with
any applicable withholding reporting requirements. 
 To obtain the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any
other purpose, the Issuer may at any time in writing direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Paying Agent. Those sums shall be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which they were held by the
Paying Agent. Upon that payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, that Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability regarding that money. 
 Section 3.05 Unclaimed Funds. 
 On the request of the Issuer, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Series II-A CP Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after it has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Issuer. The Holder of the Series II-A CP Note on which payment was due shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment as an unsecured general creditor. All liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent regarding that trust money to the
extent so paid to the Issuer shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the
English language and customarily published on each Business Day in New York, New York and in the city in which the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee is located, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall be not less than 30 days from the date of the publication, any unclaimed balance of that money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other
reasonable means of notification of a release of payment (including mailing notice of the release to Series II-A CP Noteholders whose Series II-A CP Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to monies payable
but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent, such notice to be mailed to the last address of record of each such Series II-A CP Noteholder). 
 Section 3.06 Successor Substituted. 
 Upon any consolidation or merger
or any transfer of the assets of the Issuer substantially as an entirety, the Person formed by or surviving the consolidation or merger (if other than the 

  
 25 









 
Issuer) or the Person to which the transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if
that Person had been named as the Issuer. The entity that was the Issuer prior to the transfer shall be released from its obligations under this Indenture as Issuer immediately upon the effectiveness of the transfer, but shall not be released from
any obligations or liabilities to the Trustee or the Series II-A CP Noteholders arising prior to such effectiveness. 
 Section 3.07
Authorized Representative 
 The Issuer has furnished to the Trustee, and from time to time thereafter may furnish to the
Trustee and shall furnish to you upon the Trustee’s request, certificates (“Incumbency Certificates”) of a responsible officer of the Issuer certifying the incumbency and specimen signatures of officers or agents of the Issuer
authorized to execute Series II-A CP Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature and/or to take other action hereunder on behalf of the Issuer (each an “Authorized Representative”). Until the Trustee has received a
subsequent incumbency certificate of the Issuer, the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the last such certificate delivered to the Trustee for purposes of determining the Authorized Representatives. The Trustee shall not have any
responsibility to the Issuer to determine by whom or by what means a facsimile signature may have been affixed on the Series II-A CP Notes, or to determine whether any facsimile or manual signature resembles the specimen signature(s) filed with the
Trustee by a duly authorized officer of the Issuer. Any Series II-A CP Note bearing the manual or facsimile signature of a person who is an Authorized Representative on the date such signature is affixed shall be binding on the Issuer after the
authentication thereof by Trustee notwithstanding that such person shall have died or shall have otherwise ceased to hold his office on the date such Series II-A CP Note is countersigned or delivered to the Trustee. 

Article IV. 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Series II-A CP Notes, except as to (a) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (b) substitution of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (c) the rights of Series II-A CP Noteholders to receive payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, (d) the rights and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, including the rights of the
Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and (e) the rights of Series II-A CP Noteholders as beneficiaries of this Indenture regarding property deposited under Section 4.02 with the Trustee
and payable to any of them, and the Trustee shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to those Series II-A CP Notes, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, when either:

 (i) All Series II-A CP Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
(other than (A) Series II-A CP Notes that have been destroyed, lost, or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.06 and (B) Series II-A CP Notes for whose full payment money has


  
 26 









 
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 4.02); or

 (ii) (A) the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer;
and 
 (B) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that all
amounts payable under this Indenture to the Series II-A CP Noteholders have been paid. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and of the Trustee to the Series II-A CP Noteholders under Section 4.02 shall survive such
satisfaction and disharge. 
 Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money. 

All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it in accordance with the
provisions of the Series II-A CP Notes and this Indenture to make payments of all sums due and to become due on the Series II-A CP Notes for principal and interest to the Series II-A CP Noteholders for whose payment the monies have been deposited
with the Trustee. These payments may be made either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Trustee may determine. These monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein. 

Article V. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

Section 5.01 Events of Default. 
  

	 	(a)	 The occurrence of any one of the following shall constitute a default (each an “Event of Default”) by Issuer hereunder: (i) if Issuer
shall fail to pay any (A) Series II-A CP Note Principal, within five (5) days after the date on which such payment shall become due and payable, or declared due and payable, or (B) Series II-A CP Note Interest, if any, within five
(5) days after the date on which such payment of interest shall become due and payable, or declared due and payable; (ii) if Issuer shall fail to pledge additional Collateral as required under Section 3.03 hereof; (iii) if Issuer

Issuer under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any similar law or regulation, (E) have any of its assets attached, seized or levied upon, or (F) otherwise become the
subject of any insolvency or creditor enforcement proceedings, provided however, that any involuntary petition or other proceeding against Issuer shall not be an Event of Default unless an order for relief is entered or such proceeding remains
undismissed for at least sixty (60) days; or (vi) if this Indenture, any Series II-A CP Note, or the Collateral Account Control Agreement, shall cease to be in full force and effect, shall be declared null and void, shall be revoked or
terminated or shall be subject to any contest by Issuer as to their validity and/or enforceability, for any reason, or if Issuer shall for any reason deny any further liability to the Series II-A CP Noteholders hereunder and thereunder.


  

	 	(b)	Within five days after the occurence of an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(iii) thorough (vi), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee written notice in
the form of an Officer’s Certificate stating the particulars of any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, its status, and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take
regarding the event. 

  

	 	(c)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Issuer may not request the issuance of any additional Series II-A CP Notes under this Indenture,
and Trustee may then forthwith cease authenticating and issuing any additional Series II-A CP Notes under this Indenture without any notice to Issuer. 

 Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  

	 	(a)	If an Event of Default in clause (v)(C), (D), (E) or (F) of the definition thereof shall occur, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with
accrued and unpaid interest on the Series II-A CP Notes through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable and no notice to such effect from the Issuer, any Series II-A CP Noteholder or any other Person to the Trustee shall
be required. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Sections 5.01(i) or (ii), and upon the receipt of any notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(b), the Majority Series II-A CP
Noteholders may declare all the Series II-A CP Notes to be immediately due and payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee. Upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest on the Series II-A CP Notes through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. 

  

	 	(b)	If at any time a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as
provided in this Article, the Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders may rescind and annul the declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee if: 


(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

  
 28 









 1) all payments of principal of and interest on the Series II-A CP Notes and
all other amounts that would then be due under this Indenture or upon the Series II-A CP Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to the acceleration had not occurred; and 

2) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and their respective agents and outside counsel; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of the Series II-A CP Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.14. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Issuer covenants that upon the acceleration of the maturity of the Series II-A CP Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 and the demand
of the Trustee, the Issuer will immediately pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Series II-A CP Noteholders the whole amount then due and payable on the Series II-A CP Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal
and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, in the order set forth herein and, in addition thereto, any further amount necessary to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

If the Issuer fails to pay these amounts forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as Trustee of an
express trust, may institute a proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute the proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, in its discretion
and subject to the provisions of Section 5.02, Section 5.12 and Section 6.01, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Series II-A CP Noteholders under this Indenture by whatever appropriate proceedings the
Trustee may deem necessary to protect and enforce any of those rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Collateral Account Control Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this
Indenture, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by law. 
 If proceedings
relating to the Issuer under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law are pending, or if a receiver, assignee, or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
sequestrator, or similar official has been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property, or if any other comparable judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer or the creditors or property of the Issuer are pending, then
regardless of whether the principal of any Series II-A CP Notes shall then be payable by their terms or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee has 

  
 29 









 
made any demand pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in the proceedings or otherwise: 

 

	 	(a)	to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid on the Series II-A CP Notes, and to file any other papers or documents that
may be appropriate to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Series II-A CP Noteholders allowed in any proceedings relating to the Issuer upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, 


 

	 	(b)	to vote on behalf of the Series II-A CP Noteholders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in any arrangement, reorganization, liquidation, or other
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or in any election of any Person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and 

  

	 	(c)	to collect any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received on the claims of the Series II-A CP
Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf, 

 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or other similar official is
authorized by each of the Series II-A CP Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to payments going directly to the Series II-A CP Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys, and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), and all advances made, by the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as shall have been determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Series II-A CP Noteholders any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Series II-A CP Notes or the rights of any Series II-A CP Noteholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote regarding the claim of any Series II-A CP Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as
aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or Person performing similar functions. 
 In any proceedings
involving this Indenture or the Series II-A CP Notes the Trustee shall represent all the Series II-A CP Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Series II-A CP Noteholders parties to the proceedings. 

Section 5.04 Remedies. 
  

	 	(a)	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Series II-A CP Notes has been accelerated, the Trustee shall immediately provide to the
Securities Intermediary a Notice of Exclusive Control in the form of Exhibit C hereto, after which Trustee shall have sole and exclusive authority to issue Oral and Written Instructions with respect to the Collateral Account, and, subject to
Section 5.05, Section 5.12 and Article VI hereof, shall do one or more of the following: 


  
 30 









 (i) institute proceedings in its own name and as trustee for an express trust for the
collection of all amounts then payable on the Series II-A CP Notes or under this Indenture (whether by declaration or otherwise), enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Collateral Account securing the Series II-A CP Notes monies
adjudged due; 
 (ii) only if so instructed in writing by all Series II-A CP Noteholders, sell or liquidate all or a portion of
the Collateral at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in accordance with Section 5.16 to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the
Series II-A CP Noteholders are insufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Series II-A CP Notes for principal and interest, the Trustee shall not proceed with such sale or liquidation unless the Holders of 100% of the
Series II-A CP Notes (other than any Series II-A CP Notes then held by the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof) consent in writing thereto; 
 (iii) institute proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral; and 

(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and
remedies of the Trustee or the Series II-A CP Noteholders under this Indenture. 
 For the purpose of determining the sufficiency or
insufficiency in clause (ii) above, the Trustee shall be provided by the Series II-A CP Noteholders with and may conclusively rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of the proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for these purposes. 
  

	 	(b)	The proceeds of the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral shall be distributed as follows: 


1) first, to the Trustee, all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its respective agents and outside counsel; and. 
 2) second, to
the payments of principal of and interest on the Series II-A CP Notes and all other amounts then due under this Indenture or upon the Series II-A CP Notes. 
  

	 	(c)	The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Series II-A CP Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before that record date, the
Trustee shall mail to each Series II-A CP Noteholder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 

 Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of Trust Assets. 
 If the Series
II-A CP Notes have been declared to be payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and the declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded 

  
 31 









 
and annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral. It is the intent of the parties to this Indenture and the Series II-A CP Noteholders that all
principal of and interest on the Series II-A CP Notes be paid in full when due. The Trustee shall take direction from 100% of the Series II-A CP Noteholders in determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, and may rely upon an
opinion of an independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation addressed to the Trustee as to the feasibility of the proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for these purposes. 

Section 5.06 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Series II-A CP Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Series II-A CP Notes or their production
in any proceeding relating to them. Any proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Series II-A CP Noteholders and any other parties entitled thereto upon which the judgment has been obtained. 
 Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. 
 No Series II-A CP Noteholder shall
have any right to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, regarding this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture, unless: 

 

	 	(a)	Series II-A CP Noteholders of not less than 25% of the Series II-A CP Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute the proceeding in its own name as
Trustee; 

  

	 	(b)	those Series II-A CP Noteholders have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 


 

	 	(c)	those Series II-A CP Noteholders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with
their request; 

  

	 	(d)	the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of that notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute appropriate proceedings; and 


 

	 	(e)	no direction inconsistent with the written request has been given to the Trustee during the 60-day period by the Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders.


 No one or more Series II-A CP Noteholders may in any manner whatever under any provision of this Indenture
affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other Series II-A CP Noteholder or obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Series II-A CP Noteholder or enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in
this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Series II-A CP Noteholders. 
 If the Trustee receives
conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Series II-A CP Noteholders, each representing less than Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, 

  
 32 









 
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to act until it is directed by the Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders.

 Section 5.08 Unconditional Rights of Series II-A CP Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Series II-A CP Noteholder shall have the absolute and unconditional right to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on its Series II-A CP Note as that principal and interest becomes due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of that payment. This right shall not be impaired without the consent of the
affected Series II-A CP Noteholder. 
 Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Series II-A CP Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and that
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Series II-A CP Noteholder, then the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Series II-A CP Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in that
proceeding, be restored to their former positions under this Indenture, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Series II-A CP Noteholders shall continue as though no proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 No right, remedy, power, or privilege herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Series II-A CP Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
Every right, remedy, power, or privilege shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, remedy, power, or privilege given under this Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any
right, remedy, power, or privilege shall not preclude any other further assertion or the exercise of any other appropriate right, remedy, power, or privilege. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or of any Series II-A CP Noteholder or other Person, any right, remedy, power, or privilege upon any Event of Default shall impair that right, remedy, power, or privilege or constitute a waiver of
it or of the Event of Default or an acquiescence in the Event of Default. Every right, remedy, power, or privilege given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Series II-A CP Noteholders may be exercised as often as may be deemed
expedient by the Trustee or by the Series II-A CP Noteholders, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Rights of Series II-A CP Noteholders
to Direct Trustee. 
 Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee regarding the Series II-A CP Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee regarding the Notes. 

  
 33 









 Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 6.01: 

 

	 	(a)	the Trustee may decline any direction if the Trustee, after being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed is in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture, and 

  

	 	(b)	the Trustee may decline any direction if the Trustee in good faith, by a Designated Officer of the Trustee, determines that the proceedings so directed would be illegal
or involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to Series II-A CP Noteholders not parties to that direction. 

 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Series II-A CP Notes as provided in Section 5.02 (except in the case of subsection (a)(ii) below), Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders may, on behalf of all the Series II-A CP Noteholders, waive in writing
any past default on the Series II-A CP Notes and its consequences, except: 
  

	 	(a)	a default in the payment of the principal or interest on any Series II-A CP Note (which may be waived only with the consent of all of the Series II-A CP Noteholders),
or 

  

	 	(b)	regarding any of the provisions under Section 9.02 that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Series II-A CP Noteholder of each outstanding
Series II-A CP Note affected. 

 Upon any written waiver, the default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising from it shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent to it. 

Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Series II-A CP Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series II-A CP Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it as Trustee, any court may in its discretion require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of
the suit, and that the court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by that party litigant. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Series II-A CP Noteholders (in compliance with Section 5.07) holding in the aggregate not less than 25%
of the principal balance of the outstanding Series II-A CP Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Series II-A CP Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal or interest on any Series II-A CP Note on or after the Payment Date on
which the principal or interest was due (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable redemption date). 

  
 34 









 Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may adversely affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Issuer (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.16 Sale of Trust Assets. 

 

	 	(a)	The method, manner, time, place, and terms of any sale of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04 shall be commercially reasonable. Any sale
of the Collateral by the Trustee shall be deemed to have been commercially reasonable. The Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of the sale. 


 

	 	(b)	In any sale of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04, any Series II-A CP Noteholder may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale,
and upon compliance with the terms of the sale may hold, retain, and possess and dispose of the property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money for the property, deliver any outstanding Series II-A CP Notes or claims
for interest on the Series II-A CP Notes in lieu of cash up to the amount that shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of the sale, be payable thereon, and those Series II-A CP Notes, if the amounts so payable are less than the amount due on
the Notes, and such Series II-A CP Notes shall be returned to the Series II-A CP Noteholder after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment. 

  

	 	(c)	The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Collateral securing the Series II-A CP Notes in a public sale, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by
crediting against amounts owing to the Trustee under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.07.


  

	 	(d)	The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral upon its sale. In addition, the
Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral upon its sale, and to take all action necessary to effect its sale. No purchaser or transferee
of any portion of the Issuer’s interest in the Collateral shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent, or see to the application of any monies. 


  
 35 









 Section 5.17 Action on Notes. 

The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Series II-A CP Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the
seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Series II-A CP Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the
Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under that judgment upon any portion of the Trust Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Trustee shall be applied as specified in
Section 5.04 of this Indenture. 
 Section 5.18 Limited Rights of Certain Series II-A CP Noteholders. 

Neither the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof as Holders of any Series II-A CP Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture related thereto shall
have any rights to direct the Trustee to take any action in respect of the Series II-A CP Notes pursuant to this Indenture. 

Article VI.

	 	(a)	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has actual knowledge or written notice of that Event of Default, the Trustee shall, before
receiving directions from Majority Series II-A CP Noteholders, exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the

this Section;

	 	(c)	As a condition to the taking, suffering or omitting of any action by it, the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of counsel or any opinion of counsel shall

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Transfer Agent and Registrar, or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other

	 	(c)	When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(v) or Section 5.01(a)(vi), the

 Section 6.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
 No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section. The Trustee may resign at any time upon 60 days’ written notice to the Issuer.

 (iii) the Trustee otherwise becomes legally unable to act.

 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such
event being referred to as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee satisfactory to the Series II-A CP Noteholders.

imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and the separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (the separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in the act), except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular acts are to be performed the Trustee is incompetent or unqualified to act, in which event the rights, powers, duties, and obligations shall be performed singly by the separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; 
 (ii) no trustee under this Indenture shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee; under this Indenture; and 
 (iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the

	 	(d)	Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to do any lawful act under this
Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign, or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee,

if equitable remedies are sought. 
 Section 6.13 Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Authenticating Agent. 

Where the Trustee shall act in the capacity of Paying Agent, Registrar, Authenticating Agent and issuing agent (collectively, the
“Agent Capacity”), neither the Trustee nor its officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any act or omission thereunder, except in the case of a judicial determination of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as described

employees and agents shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein and therein, and no implied covenants shall be read into any such document against the Trustee or its officers,
employees or agents. Neither the Trustee or its officers, employees or agents shall be required to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of Series II-A CP Note(s) (or any amendment or termination of this Indenture) has been duly authorized or is in
compliance with any other agreement, ordinance, resolution or other undertaking or document to which the Issuer is a party or by which it or its property may be bound (whether or not the Trustee is a party to such other agreement).

expenses, and the allocable costs of in-house legal services) arising out of or resulting from the exercise of its rights and/or the performance of its duties (or those of its agents and employees) hereunder; provided, however, that the Issuer shall
not be liable to indemnify or pay you with respect to any loss, liability, action, suit, judgment, demand, damage, cost or expense that shall be determined to have been caused by your own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of your
officers or employees. The foregoing indemnity includes, but is not limited to, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee in its Agent Capacity upon electronically transmitted instructions


  
 43 









 
(authorized herein) received by it from, or believed by it in good faith to have been given by, the proper person or persons. The provisions of this Section 6.14 shall survive (i) the
Trustee’s resignation or removal in its Agent Capacity and (ii) the termination of this Indenture. 
 In no event
shall the Trustee, whether as Trustee or in its Agent Capacity be responsible or liable for special, indirect, 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.

 Article X. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 10.01 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion
of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to those matters in one or several documents. 

  
 48 









 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Representative of the Issuer may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect
to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Representative or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to those factual matters is in the possession of such party, unless such Authorized Representative or counsel knows, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to those matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give, or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions, or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not,
be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or
report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at
the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of that certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in that document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have
that application granted or to the sufficiency of that certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such
document as provided in Article VI. 
 Section 10.02 Acts of Series II-A CP Noteholders. 

 

	 	(a)	Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Series II-A CP Noteholders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by those Series II-A CP Noteholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing and satisfying any requisite percentages as to minimum number or dollar
value of outstanding principal amount represented by those Series II-A CP Noteholders. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where
it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Series II-A CP Noteholders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. 

  

	 	(b)	The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.



  
 49 










	 	(c)	The ownership of Series II-A CP Notes shall be proved by the Series II-A CP Note Register. 


 

	 	(d)	Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action by any Series II-A CP Noteholder shall bind the Holder (and any transferee
thereof) of every Series II-A CP Note issued upon the registration thereof in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation
of such action is made upon such Note. 

 Section 10.03 Notices, Etc. to Trustee, Issuer and Issuer.

 Section 10.04 Notices to Series II-A CP Noteholders; Waiver. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Series II-A CP Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by registered or certified mail or first class postage prepaid or national overnight 

  
 50 









 
courier service to each Series II-A CP Noteholder affected by such event, at the address of that Series II-A CP Noteholder as it appears on the Series II-A CP Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Series II-A CP Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
to any particular Series II-A CP Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Series II-A CP Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly
given. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, that notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to
receive such notice, before the event, and any such waiver shall be the equivalent of that notice. 
 If because of the
suspension of regular mail service, it is impractical to mail notice of any event to Series II-A CP Noteholders when that notice is required to be given, then any manner of giving that notice that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of that notice. 
 The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to each Series II-A CP Noteholder of any of
the following occurrences: (a) the appointment of a successor Trustee and (b) the execution of a supplemental indenture pursuant to Article IX. 
 Section 10.05 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Series II-A CP Notes to the contrary, the Issuer, with the consent of the
Trustee, may enter into any agreement with any Series II-A CP Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to that Series II-A CP Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this
Indenture for payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with those agreements. 

Section 10.06 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 10.08 Separability.

 If any provision in this Indenture or in the Series II-A CP Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

  
 51 









 Section 10.09 Benefits of Indenture. 

Except as set forth in Section 10.13, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Series II-A CP Noteholders, any benefit. 
 Section 10.10 Legal
Holidays. 
 In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of the Series II-A CP Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on that date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
 Section 10.11 Governing Law. 

THIS INDENTURE AND EACH SERIES II-A CP NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN. 

EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITUATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN

Section 10.12 Counterparts. 
 This Indenture 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. 
 Section 10.13 Issuer Obligation. 
 No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Series II-A CP Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection herewith or therewith, against (i) any owner of a membership or other equity interest in the Issuer or (iii) any manager, partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Issuer, or of any holder

 In connection with our initial purchase of the Series II-A CP Notes, and any future purchases of the Series II-A CP Notes we make while this letter is in effect, the undersigned (the
“Purchaser”) hereby acknowledges, represents to and agrees with Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Issuer”) and the Indenture Trustee as follows: 
 (1) We understand and acknowledge that the Series II-A CP Notes are exempt securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 3(a)(3) thereof and that
the Issuer is offering the Series II-A CP Notes only to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)(“QIBs”) and Qualified Purchasers (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (“QPs”). We represent that we are a QIB and/or QP. “Investments” refers to securities of issuers that are not affiliated with us, and the amount of Investments referred to above
generally refers to the value thereof without regard to the stated or principal amount. 
 (2) We are purchasing the Series II-A
CP Notes, and any future purchases of the Series II-A CP Notes covered by this letter will be, for our own account or for the accounts of one or more QIBs or QPs for which we are acting as a fiduciary or agent, in each case for investment, and not
with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution thereof. We will (i) not make any sale or other transfer of fractional interests in the Series II-A CP Notes to any transferee, and (ii) only make transfers to QIBs
or QPs. 
 (3) We acknowledge that the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the

investment discretion 

  
 63 









 
with respect to each such Person and that we have full power to make the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each such Person. Each of the following
acknowledgements, representations and agreements will be deemed to be remade in their entirety for any future purchases we make that are covered by this letter.

respective affiliates (or any representative of any of the foregoing), and represent that none of such parties or any of their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for us and (iv) have determined
that an investment in the Series II-A CP Notes is suitable and appropriate for us. We have had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the Series II-A CP Notes as we have deemed necessary to make our own independent

 (7) We understand and agree that in making decisions as to whether to purchase or sell the Series II-A CP Notes, we must rely on our own examination of the Issuer and the terms of the Series II-A CP Notes
and that the Issuer shall not be deemed to make any recommendation regarding the amounts of any investment in the Series II-A CP Notes or the suitability of an investment in the Series II-A CP Notes by us. We have carefully reviewed the Offering
Memorandum, dated as of April 2, 2012, and we acknowledge that (i) the Issuer of the Series II-A CP Notes is Piper Jaffray & Co., (ii) our registered representative at Piper Jaffray & Co. in connection with this

 ARTICLE II 
 APPOINTMENT AND STATUS OF SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY; 
 ACCOUNT

 1. Appointment; Identification of Collateral. (a) Secured Party and Pledgor each hereby appoints Securities
Intermediary to perform its duties as hereinafter set forth and authorizes Securities Intermediary to hold Collateral in the Account in registered form in its name or the name of its nominees. Securities Intermediary hereby accepts such appointment
and agrees to establish and maintain the Account and appropriate records identifying the Collateral in the Account as pledged by Pledgor to Secured Party. Pledgor hereby authorizes Securities Intermediary to comply with all Oral and Written
Instructions, including entitlement orders, originated by Secured Party with respect to the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture without further consent or direction from Pledgor or any other party. 

2. Status of Securities Intermediary. The parties agree that Securities Intermediary is a securities intermediary, and intend that
all securities held in the Account shall be treated as financial assets. This Agreement is intended by Secured Party and Pledgor to grant “control” of the Account to the Secured Party for purposes of perfection of Secured Party’s
security interest in the Collateral (granted pursuant to the Indenture) pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC, and Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges that it has been advised of Pledgor’s grant to the Secured Party of a
security interest in the Account. Securities Intermediary makes no representation or warranties with respect to the creation or enforceability of any security interest in the Account or the Collateral. 

3. Use of Depositories. Secured Party and Pledgor hereby authorize Securities Intermediary to utilize Depositories to the extent
possible in connection with its performance hereunder. Collateral held by Securities Intermediary in a Depository will be held subject to the rules, terms and conditions of such Depository. Where Collateral is held in a Depository, Securities
Intermediary shall identify on its records as belonging to Pledgor and pledged to Secured Party a quantity of securities as part of a fungible bulk of securities held in Securities Intermediary’s account at such Depository. Securities deposited
in a Depository will be represented in accounts which include only assets held by Securities Intermediary for its customers. 

  
 71 









 ARTICLE III 
 COLLATERAL SERVICES 
 1. Obligation Amount; Collateral Eligibility.
On each Business Day, Secured Party shall provide Written Instructions (which may be by Bank of New York Mellon internal email) to Securities Intermediary on or before the opening of business on such Business Day, indicating the Obligation Amount
adjusted to remove any Series II-A CP Notes maturing or being redeemed on such Business Day for which payment has been received (separately identifying the amount of Series II-A CP Notes being issued on such Business Day, if any) with a copy to
Pledgor and Pledgor agrees, on the same Business Day, to deliver or cause to be delivered to Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Account Eligible Collateral whose Margin Value is an amount not less than the Obligation Amount as described in
Section 2 below. Securities Intermediary shall determine that the Collateral to be transferred to the Account constitutes Eligible Collateral and verify that the Margin Value of the Eligible Collateral is not less than the Obligation Amount.
Securities which do not constitute Eligible Collateral shall not be transferred to the Account. 
 2. Marks to Market.
Securities Intermediary shall mark-to-market the value of the Eligible Collateral in accordance with the following provisions. 

(a) If at the opening of any Business Day other than a Business Day on which Series II-A CP Notes are being issued, the Margin Value of
Eligible Collateral is less than the Obligation Amount, Securities Intermediary shall provide notice of such shortfall to the Pledgor and to the Secured Party by 1:00 p.m. Pledgor agrees to deliver to Securities Intermediary for deposit in the
Account upon such notice and on or before 3:30 p.m., additional Eligible Collateral (“Additional Collateral”) in an amount such that the Margin Value of Eligible Collateral, including such Additional Collateral, equals or exceeds the
Obligation Amount. 
 (b) On any Business Day on which Series II-A CP Notes are being issued, Pledgor agrees to deliver to
Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Account on or before 12:00 noon, Additional Collateral in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Series II-A CP Notes to be issued that Business Day and shall by no later than 12:00 noon cure any
Collateral deficiency identified by Securities Intermediary. If Pledgor has failed to deliver sufficient Eligible Collateral to meet or exceed the Obligation Amount as adjusted to reflect the additional amount of Series II-A CP Notes being issued
that day (taking into account any maturities and redemptions on that day for which payment has been received), Securities Intermediary shall notify the Secured Party and Pledgor by 1:00 p.m. and the additional Series II-A CP Notes scheduled to close
on such Business Day will not be issued. 
 (c) Securities Intermediary shall determine that all Additional Collateral to be
transferred to the Account constitutes Eligible Collateral. Any Additional Collateral which does not constitute Eligible Collateral shall not be transferred to the Account. If after the close of trading on any Business Day the Margin Value of
Eligible Collateral is greater than the Obligation Amount, Securities Intermediary is authorized to transfer from the Account Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to such excess in accordance with Oral or Written Instructions from Pledgor on such
Business Day. 
 3. Substitutions. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control from Secured
Party, and other than during such times as Securities Intermediary may advise that substitutions are not permissible, Securities Intermediary is authorized to act upon any Oral or Written Instructions from Pledgor to substitute other Eligible
Collateral for any Collateral then held in the Account, provided that the Margin Value of the Eligible Collateral in the Account after such substitution (taken together with the Eligible Collateral not substituted hereunder) shall not be less than
the Obligation Amount, provided, however, that on any Business Day on which Series II-A CP Notes are being issued, (x) prior to 12:00 noon the Obligation Amount shall not include the amount of Series II-A CP Notes being issued on such Business
Day and (y) on and after 12:00 noon no substitutions shall be permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Pledgor covenants that on a Business Day other than one on which Series II-A CP Notes are being issued it will not substitute
collateral after 3:30 p.m.; provided, however, that Securities Intermediary shall have no duty to ensure that Pledgor complies with the terms of the covenant contained in this sentence. 

4. Payment of Proceeds. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control, Securities Intermediary shall
transfer to Pledgor (whether by credit to Pledgor’s clearing account at Securities Intermediary or otherwise) all proceeds received by it with respect to the Collateral. Subject to Section 2 hereof and the return of any excess Collateral
as provided thereunder, after Securities Intermediary’s receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, Securities Intermediary shall credit to the Account all proceeds received by it with respect to the Collateral. 

5. Notice of Exclusive Control. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control, Securities Intermediary is
authorized to act upon Pledgor’s Oral or Written Instructions with respect to the Account and Collateral. Secured Party may, subject to the terms of the Indenture, exercise sole and exclusive control of the Account and the Collateral held
therein at 

  
 72 









 
any time by delivering to Securities Intermediary a Notice of Exclusive Control. Upon receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, and a reasonable time to put it into effect, Securities
Intermediary shall, without inquiry and in reliance upon such Notice, thereafter comply with Oral or Written Instructions (including entitlement orders) solely from Secured Party with respect to the Account. 

6. Securities Clearing Agreement and Security Agreement. Pledgor agrees that any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owed to
Securities Intermediary and incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and the maintenance and operation of the Account, including as a result of the advance of any funds to purchase or make payment on or against delivery of
any investment property to be held in the Account, shall be “Losses” of the Securities Intermediary for purposes of the Securities Clearing Agreement between Pledgor and Securities Intermediary dated December 31, 2003 (the
“Securities Clearing Agreement”) (as such agreement may be amended or replaced), and such Losses shall constitute “Obligations” due to the Securities Intermediary under the Security Agreement dated December 31, 2003 given by
Pledgor to Securities Intermediary (as such agreement may be amended or replaced). 
 7. Statements. Securities
Intermediary shall furnish Pledgor and Secured Party with advices of transactions affecting the Account and monthly Account statements. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party may elect to receive advices and statements electronically through the Internet
to an email address specified by it for such purpose. By electing to use the Internet for this purpose, each of Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledges that such transmissions are not encrypted and therefore are insecure. Each of Pledgor and Secured
Party further acknowledges that there are other risks inherent in communicating through the Internet such as the possibility of virus contamination and disruptions in service, and agrees that Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for any
loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by Pledgor, Secured Party, or any person claiming by or through Pledgor or Secured Party as a result of the use of such methods. On each Business Day, Securities Intermediary agrees to make available to
the Indenture Trustee sufficient information to enable the Indenture Trustee to cause to be prepared and delivered by email to the Pledgor the Daily Collateral Report. 
 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Account or any portion of the Collateral carried therein, Securities Intermediary
shall use reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor as promptly as practicable under the circumstances. 

ARTICLE IV

liability whatsoever for the action or inaction of any Depository. In no event shall Securities Intermediary be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising in connection with this Agreement.

action or inaction, or arising out of Securities Intermediary’s performance hereunder, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by Securities Intermediary in a successful defense of claims by Pledgor or Secured Party;
provided, that Pledgor and Secured Party shall not indemnify Securities Intermediary for those Losses arising out of Securities Intermediary’s negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Pledgor and
Secured Party, their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement. 
 2. No
Obligation Regarding Quality of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Securities Intermediary shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for, any Losses incurred by Pledgor, Secured Party or any
other person as a result of the receipt or acceptance of fraudulent, forged or invalid Collateral, or Collateral which otherwise is not freely transferable or deliverable without encumbrance in any relevant market. 

3. No Responsibility Concerning Indenture. Pledgor and Secured Party hereby agree that, notwithstanding references to the
Indenture in this Agreement, Securities Intermediary has no interest in, and no duty, responsibility or obligation with respect to, the Indenture (including without limitation, no duty, responsibility or obligation to monitor Pledgor’s or
Secured Party’s compliance with the Indenture or to know the terms of the Indenture). 

  
 73 









 4. No Duty of Oversight. Securities Intermediary is not at any time under any duty to
supervise the investment of, or to advise or make any recommendation for the purchase, sale, retention or disposition of any Collateral. 
 5. Advice of Counsel. Securities Intermediary may, with respect to questions of law, obtain the advice of counsel and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good
faith in conformity with such advice. 
 6. No Collection Obligations. Securities Intermediary shall be under no
obligation to take action to collect any amount payable on Collateral in default, or if payment is refused after due demand and presentment. 
 7. Fees and Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay to Securities Intermediary the fees as may be agreed upon from time to time. Pledgor shall reimburse Securities Intermediary for all costs associated
with transfers of Collateral to Securities Intermediary and records kept in connection with this Agreement. Pledgor shall also reimburse Securities Intermediary for out-of-pocket expenses which are a normal incident of the services provided
hereunder. 
 8. Effectiveness of Instructions; Reliance; Risk Acknowledgements; Additional Terms. (a) Subject to
the terms below, Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely upon any Written or Oral Instructions actually received by Securities Intermediary and reasonably believed by Securities Intermediary to be duly authorized and delivered. Secured
Party and Pledgor each agrees (i) to forward to Securities Intermediary Written Instructions confirming its Oral Instructions by the close of business of the same day that such Oral Instructions are given to Securities Intermediary, and
(ii) the fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not received or that contrary Written Instructions are received by Securities Intermediary shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of transactions authorized and effected
by Securities Intermediary pursuant to its Oral Instructions. 
 (b) If Securities Intermediary receives Written Instructions
which appear on their face to have been transmitted by an Authorized Person via (i) computer facsimile, email, the Internet or other insecure electronic method, or (ii) secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization
codes, passwords and/or authentication keys, Secured Party and Pledgor each understands and agrees that Securities Intermediary cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Written Instructions and that Securities Intermediary shall
conclusively presume that such Written Instructions have been sent by an Authorized Person. Secured Party and Pledgor shall be responsible for ensuring that only its Authorized Persons transmit such Written Instructions to Securities Intermediary
and that all of its Authorized Persons treat applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys with extreme care. 
 (c) Secured Party and Pledgor each acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Written Instructions to Securities
Intermediary and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Written Instructions than the method(s) selected by it. Secured Party and Pledgor each agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its
transmission of Written Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances. 
 (d) If Secured Party or Pledgor elects to transmit Written Instructions through an on-line communication system offered by Securities Intermediary, its use thereof shall be subject to the Terms and
Conditions attached hereto as Appendix I. If Secured Party or Pledgor elects (with Securities Intermediary’s prior consent) to transmit Written Instructions through an on-line communications service owned or operated by a third party, it agrees
that Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible or liable for the reliability or availability of any such service.

administrative body that is binding on Securities Intermediary or any Depository or the terms of the organizational documents of the issuer of any Security or the terms of any Security itself. 

  
 74

every right granted to Securities Intermediary hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of
Securities Intermediary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by Securities Intermediary of any right preclude any other future exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. 
 5. Severability; Amendments; Assignment. In case any provision in or obligation under this
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected thereby. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner

applications for registration of either), and other legal protections available in respect thereof. Customer further acknowledges that all or a part of the Electronic Services may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made
therefor) by BNYM or its suppliers. Customer shall not take any action with respect to the Electronic Services inconsistent with the foregoing acknowledgments, nor shall Customer attempt to decompile, reverse engineer or modify the Electronic
Services. Customer may not copy, distribute, sell, lease or provide, directly or indirectly, the Electronic Services or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without BNYM’s prior written consent. Customer may not remove any
statutory copyright notice or other notice included in the Electronic Services. Customer shall reproduce any such notice on any reproduction of any portion of the Electronic Services and shall add any statutory copyright notice or other notice upon
BNYM’s request. 
 (c) Portions of the Electronic Services may contain, deliver or rely on data supplied by third parties
(“Third Party Data”), such as pricing data and indicative data, and services supplied by third parties (“Third Party Services”) such as analytic and accounting services. Third Party Data and Third Party Services supplied
hereunder are obtained from sources that BNYM believes to be reliable but are provided without any independent investigation by BNYM. BNYM and its suppliers do not represent or warrant that the Third Party Data or Third Party Services are correct,
complete or current. Third Party Data and Third Party Services are proprietary to their suppliers, are provided solely for Customer’s internal use, and may not be reused, disseminated or redistributed in any form. Customer shall not use any
Third Party Data in any manner that would act as a substitute for obtaining a license for the data directly from the supplier. Third Party Data and Third Party Services should not be used in making any investment decision. BNYM AND ITS SUPPLIERS ARE
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES. BNYM’s suppliers of Third Party Data and Services are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1(c) and

or free of viruses or other contamination), or any products or services sold through third party sites. All such links to third party Internet sites are provided solely as a convenience to Customer and Customer accesses and uses such sites at its
own risk. A link in the Electronic Services to a third party site does not constitute BNYM’s endorsement, authorisation or sponsorship of such site or any products and services available from such site.

to communications services, necessary for it to utilize and obtain access to the Electronic Services, and BNYM shall not be responsible for the reliability or availability of any such equipment or services.

information and documentation made available to Customer (other than which are or become part of the public domain or are legally required to be made available to the public) (collectively, the “Information”), are the exclusive and
confidential property of BNYM or its suppliers. However, for the avoidance of doubt, reports generated by Customer containing information relating to its account(s) (except for Third Party Data contained therein) are not deemed to be within the
meaning of the term “Information.” Customer shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that Customer uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets, but not less than reasonable
care. Upon termination of the Agreement or the licenses granted herein for any reason, Customer shall return to BNYM any and all copies of the Information which are in its possession or under its control (except that Customer may retain reports
containing Third Party Data, provided that such Third Party Data remains subject to the provisions of this Appendix). The provisions of this Section 3 shall not affect the copyright status of any of the Information which may be copyrighted and
shall apply to all information whether or not copyrighted. 
 4. Modifications. BNYM reserves the right to modify the
Electronic Services from time to time. Customer agrees not to modify or attempt to modify the Electronic Services without BNYM’s prior written consent. Customer acknowledges that any modifications to the Electronic Services, whether by Customer

 6. Security; Reliance; Unauthorized Use; Funds Transfers. BNYM will establish
security procedures to be followed in connection with the use of the Electronic Services, and Customer agrees to comply with the security procedures. Customer understands and agrees that the security procedures are intended to determine whether
instructions received by BNYM through the Electronic Services are authorized but are not (unless otherwise specified in writing) intended to detect any errors contained in such instructions. Customer will cause all persons utilizing the Electronic
Services to treat any user and authorization codes, passwords, authentication keys and other security devices with the highest degree of care and confidentiality. Upon termination of Customer’s use of the Electronic Services, Customer shall
return to BNYM any security devices (e.g., token cards) provided by BNYM. BNYM is hereby irrevocably authorized to comply with and rely upon on Written Instructions and other communications, whether or not authorized, received by it through the
Electronic Services. Customer acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for ensuring that only Authorized Persons use the Electronic Services and that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law BNYM shall not be responsible nor liable for
any unauthorized use thereof or for any losses sustained by Customer arising from or in connection with the use of the Electronic Services or BNYM’s reliance upon and compliance with Written Instructions and other communications received
through the Electronic Services. With respect to instructions for a transfer of funds issued through the Electronic Services, when instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or
account number), the BNYM, its affiliates, and any other bank participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named. Such reliance on a unique identifier shall
apply to beneficiaries named in such instructions as well as any financial institution which is designated in such instructions to act as an intermediary in a funds transfer. It is understood and agreed that unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall be bound by the rules of any funds transfer system utilized to effect a funds transfer hereunder. 

7. Acknowledgments. BNYM shall acknowledge through the Electronic Services its receipt of each Written Instruction communicated
through the Electronic Services, and in the absence of such acknowledgment BNYM shall not be liable for any failure to act in accordance with such Written Instruction and Customer may not claim that such Written Instruction was received by BNYM.
BNYM may in its discretion decline to act upon any instructions or communications that are insufficient or incomplete or are not received by BNYM in sufficient time for BNYM to act upon, or in accordance with such instructions or communications.

 8. Viruses. Customer agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the transmission through the Electronic Services of
any software or file which contains any viruses, worms, harmful component or corrupted data and agrees not to use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Electronic Services. 

9. Encryption. Customer acknowledges and agrees that encryption may not be available for every communication through the
Electronic Services, or for all data. Customer agrees that BNYM may deactivate any encryption features at any time, without notice or liability to Customer, for the purpose of maintaining, repairing or troubleshooting its systems. 

10. On-Line Inquiry and Modification of Records. In connection with Customer’s use of the Electronic Services, BNYM may, at
Customer’s request, permit Customer to enter data directly into a BNYM database for the purpose of modifying certain information maintained by BNYM’s systems, including, but not limited to, change of address information. To the extent that
Customer is granted such access, Customer agrees to indemnify and hold BNYM harmless from all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including attorney’s fees and expenses) to which BNYM may be subjected or which may be incurred in
connection with any claim which may arise out of or as a result of changes to BNYM database records initiated by Customer. 

11. Agents. Customer may, on advance written notice to the BNYM, permit its agents and contractors (“Agents”) to access
and use the Electronic Services on Customer’s behalf, except that the BNYM reserves the right to prohibit Customer’s use of any particular Agent for any reason. Customer shall require its Agent(s) to agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of the Agreement, and Customer shall be liable and responsible for any act or omission of such Agent in the same manner, and to the same extent, as though such act or omission were that of Customer. Each submission of a Written Instruction or
other communication by the Agent through the Electronic Services shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Customer that the Agent continues to be duly authorized by the Customer to so act on its behalf and the BNYM may rely on the
representations and warranties made herein in complying with such Written Instruction or communication. Any Written Instruction or other communication through the Electronic Services by an Agent shall be deemed that of Customer, and Customer shall
be bound thereby whether or not authorized. Customer may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and upon advance written notice to the Bank, provide a copy of the Electronic Service user manuals to its Agent if the Agent requires such copies to use
the Electronic Services on Customer’s behalf. Upon cessation of any such Agent’s services, Customer shall promptly terminate such Agent’s access to the Electronic Services, retrieve from the Agent any copies of the manuals and destroy
them, and retrieve from the Agent any token cards or other security devices provided by BNYM and return them to BNYM.
