individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 SECTION 1.3. Forms of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

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 such matters in one or several documents.

 (c) 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. 
 (d) Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate, opinion of counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other
inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally received in the corrected form and, irrespective
of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which
it is substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities. 
 SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders.  

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an agent) is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders 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 Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other
officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine. 
 (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 
 (d)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the 

  
 11 









 
Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the
Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 (e) Without limiting the
foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so
pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 
 (f) Except as set forth in paragraph
(g) of this Section 1.4, the Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration
Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record
date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph,
the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6. 
 (g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and
no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for
which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the
manner set forth in Section 1.6. 
 (h) With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or
(g) of this Section 1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided,
that 

  
 12 









 
no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the ninetieth (90th) day
after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred and eightieth
(180th) day after the applicable record date.

 SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc.  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

 (a) the Trustee by any Holder, any holder of Preferred Securities or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, 
 (b) the Company
by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at 3322 West End Avenue Suite 1000, Nashville,
Tennessee 37203, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, or 

(c) the Purchaser by the Trustee, the Company, any Holder or any holder or beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to the Purchaser at: c/o Maples Finance Limited, P.O. Box 1093 GT, Queensgate House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, or any
other address furnished by the Purchaser. 
 SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.  

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.  
 (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 9.277% to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012, and a variable rate per
annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, such interest to accrue from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and
any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per


  
 16 









 
annum equal to 9.277% through the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from and
including the dates such amounts are due to but excluding the dates such amounts are paid or funds for the payment thereof are made available for payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall interest accrue on the Securities at a rate
that is higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 
 (b) Interest and Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early
maturity) of the principal of a Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment
Date shall be payable as provided in such Security. 
 (c) Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not
timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities other than the Stated Maturity or an earlier redemption date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below: 

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least thirty
(30) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than
fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each
Holder of a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date; or 

  
 17 









 (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities may be listed, traded or quoted and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation
system (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

(d) Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates or
Maturity Dates. The amount of interest payable for any interest period shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. 

(e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such
Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated by the relevant
record date in writing to the Paying Agent by the Person entitled thereto; absent such designation, such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of the Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on the Security will be made
at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 
 (f) Subject to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.1, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other
Security. 
 SECTION 3.2. Denominations.  
 The Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.  
 (a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding Securities)
not in excess of $41,240,000 executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of 

  
 18 









 
such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon: 
 (i) a copy of any Board Resolution relating thereto; and 
 (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;
(2) the Securities have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and have been delivered to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture; and (3) the Securities are not required to be registered under the
Securities Act. 
 (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman
of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Securities. 
 (c) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but
never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 (d) Each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication. 
 SECTION 3.4. Global Securities.  

(a) Upon the election of a Holder that is a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act) after the Original Issue Date, as certified to the Securities Registrar, which election need not be in writing, the Securities owned by such Holder shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name
of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 19 









 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be
exchanged in whole or in part for registered Securities, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless
(i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no qualified successor is
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor is appointed by the Company within ninety
(90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial
interests in such Global Security of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the issuance of such Securities and the registration in the Securities Register
of such Securities in the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the Trustee shall recognize such holders of beneficial interests as Holders. 
 (c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then
either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be
so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar,
whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global
Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with
the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. 

(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or
any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

(e) Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities (as defined in the Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the
Trust shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit by


  
 20 









 
the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities distributed to holders of
Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such
Securities. 
 (f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such
Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s
beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Company, the Securities
Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners
of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in
respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary. 
 (g) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security
shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants. 

(h) No owner of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such owners of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder
of any Security. 
 SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.  

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of
Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar. 

  
 21 









 (b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 (c) At the option of the Holder,
Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

(d) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and, in the case of
Securities other than Global Securities, must be accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit D hereto. 
 (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities. 
 (g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be
required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5 (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for
redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 
 (h) The
Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency. 

SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.  
 (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall
execute and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

  
 22 









 (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 (c) If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

(d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 (e) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly
issued hereunder. 
 (f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 3.7.
Persons Deemed Owners.  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.  

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by 

  
 23 









 
the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.8, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition. 

SECTION 3.9. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.  
 (a) So long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during the term of the Security, to defer the payment of interest on the Securities for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such deferred interest payment period, an “Extension
Period”), during which Extension Period(s), the Company shall have the right to make no payments or partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date (except any Additional Tax Sums that otherwise may be due and payable). No
Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at
the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per
annum equal to 9.277% to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from and including the dates on which amounts would
have otherwise been due and payable to but excluding the dates such amounts are paid or until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid on the Securities together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may extend such Extension Period and further defer the payment of interest; provided, that
(i) all such previous and further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and
(iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due
on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on
a date other than an Interest Payment Date, (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities and (iv) no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e),
(f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing. The Company shall give (i) the Holders of the Securities, (ii) the Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee and (iv) any beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities
reasonably identified to the Company (which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period no later than the close of business on the fifteenth
(15th) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would be payable but for such deferral. 
 (b) In connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a). 

  
 24 









 SECTION 3.10. Right of Set-Off.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make
in respect of any Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement relating to such Security or to a holder of Preferred Securities pursuant to an
action undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.  

Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest
therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and to
treat the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Securities (and the Trust property) (and payments and proceeds
therefrom, respectively) for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties. 
 SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may
use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice
or other materials may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other materials and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV

notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of subclause
(ii)(A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose (x) an amount in the currency or currencies in which the Securities are payable, (y) Government
Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, in each case
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity (or any date
of principal repayment upon early maturity) or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be

under Section 6.11 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (a)(ii) of this Section 4.1, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(e) shall
survive. 
 SECTION 4.2. Application of Trust Money.  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(e), all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment in accordance with Section 3.1, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any 

  
 26 









 
premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment of which such money or obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee. Moneys held by the Trustee under
this Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the claims of holders of Senior Debt under Article XII. 
 ARTICLE V

 SECTION
5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  
 (a) If an Event of Default pursuant to Sections
5.1(c), (e), (f) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare
the principal amount of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided, that if, upon an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e),
(f) or (g), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities fail to declare the principal of all the Outstanding Securities to be immediately due and

satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.2. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 (i) default is made in the
payment of any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days, or

 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then
due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.6. 

(b) If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect
the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 
 (c) If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities
by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

  
 29 









 SECTION 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  

In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or similar judicial
proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized
hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to first pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and external counsel,
and any other amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6.

may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee
of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, subject to Article XII and after provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits.  
 Subject to Section 5.8, no Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities; 

(b) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee
to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders
have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding for sixty (60) days; and 

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred Securities.  

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium on such Security at its Maturity and payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security when due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Any registered holder of the Preferred Securities shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a),
Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c), to institute a suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities
having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by such holder. 

  
 31 









 SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  

If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, such Holder or such holder of Preferred Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee, such Holders
and such holder of Preferred Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, such Holder and such
holder of Preferred Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies
Cumulative.  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of any Preferred Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Preferred
Securities by Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Preferred Securities, as the case may be. 

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.  
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, as the case may be, the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities) shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, that: 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, and 

(c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow such direction if a
Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. 

  
 32 









 SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.  

(a) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities and the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an Event of Default: 
 (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security (unless such Event of Default has been cured and the Company has paid to or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and past due and all principal of and any premium on all Securities due otherwise than by acceleration), or 

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Holder of any Outstanding Security. 
 (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Preferred Securities issued by such Trust, by all holders of Preferred Securities. 
 (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. 

 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium on the Security
after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security after it is due and payable. 
 SECTION 5.15.
Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.  
 The Company 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, 

  
 33 









 
any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (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. 
 ARTICLE VI 

The Trustee 
 SECTION 6.1.
Corporate Trustee Required.  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities. The
Trustee shall be a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such
supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

 SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if
any, from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, if applicable, from the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities), exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

  
 34 









 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection
to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the
Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company
and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee. 
 (d) No provisions of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of the Trustee under this Indenture for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (ii) the Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, if applicable, from the
holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities), relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder and money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.
 
 Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give
the Holders notice of such default unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities, the Trustee shall be fully
protected in withholding the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interest of holders of Securities; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(d), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least thirty (30) days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.3, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 

  
 35 









 SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.  

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action,
(ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Indenture, then,
except as to any matter as to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company requesting the Company’s written instruction as to the course of action to be taken and
the Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Company; provided, that if the Trustee does not receive such instructions from
the Company within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice the Trustee may, but shall be under no duty to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; 

(c) any request or direction of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of
the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel (which
counsel may be counsel to the Trustee, the Company or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders or any holder of Preferred Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders (or such holders of Preferred
Securities) shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Trustee; 

  
 36 









 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, indenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(h) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to
enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action with respect to enforcing any remedy or right hereunder, the Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities as would be entitled to direct the Trustee under this Indenture in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such action until
such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; 
 (i) except
as otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Indenture; 

(j) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding referred to in clauses (e) or (f) of the definition of Event of Default, such expenses (including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the
compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy laws or law relating to creditors rights generally; 
 (k) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
(unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate addressing such matter, which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by
the Company; 
 (l) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless either (i) a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge or (ii) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a Holder; and 
 (m) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article
VI shall also be afforded such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, or Securities Registrar. 
 SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.
 
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such
other agent. 
 SECTION 6.6. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.  

(a) The Company agrees 
 (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Company and the Trustee shall agree from time to time (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

  
 37 









 (ii) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all documented reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and external counsel), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and 

(iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Trustee (including in its individual capacity)
and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, liability, tax (other than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on amounts paid
pursuant to (i) or (ii) hereof), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
this trust or the performance of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, including the advancement of funds to cover the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties hereunder. 
 (b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.6, the Company
hereby grants and pledges to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular
Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

(d) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

  
 38 









 (e) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of
its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances,
regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture. 

SECTION 6.7. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee under Section 6.8. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. 
 (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be removed at any time by the
Company by a Board Resolution. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be removed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to
the Company. 
 (d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.8. If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Holders, by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.8. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the giving of a notice of resignation
by the Trustee or the removal of the Trustee in the manner required by Section 6.8, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, and any
resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) The Company shall give notice to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6 of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

  
 39 









 SECTION 6.8. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.8. 
 (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI. 

SECTION 6.9. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation or as otherwise provided above in this Section 6.9 to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the
certificate of authentication shall have the full force which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.  
 The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the
Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

  
 40 









 SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  

(a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents, if so requested by the Company, with respect to the Securities, which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and
shall at all times be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section 6.11. 
 (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.11, which shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with
all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
 (d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such amounts as the Company and the
Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to time. 

  
 41 









 (e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this
Section 6.11, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 

This represents Securities designated therein and referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the delivery thereof, in each case to the extent such information is in the possession or control of the Company and has not otherwise been
received by the Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar, and 
 (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the time such list is furnished, in each case to the extent
such information is in the possession or control of the Company and has not otherwise been received by the Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar. 
 SECTION 7.2. Preservation of Information, Communications to Holders.  
 (a)
The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of
Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

  
 42 









 (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of information as to the names and addresses of the Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION 7.3. Reports by Company and Trustee.  
 (a) If and so long as the Company is neither subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act nor exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to Rule 12g3—2(b) under the Exchange Act, the
Company shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective purchasers of Securities, upon their request, the information required to be furnished pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until such time as the Securities are no longer
“restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If, and for so long as, the Trust, or a trustee thereof, is a Holder of the Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder copies of the annual and quarterly financial
statements of the Company or its Affiliates that are filed with the insurance regulators in the jurisdiction in which the Company or any such Affiliate is incorporated, promptly following their filing. 

(b) The Company shall furnish to (i) the Holders and to subsequent holders of Securities, (ii) the Purchaser, (iii) any
beneficial owner of the Securities reasonably identified to the Company (which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Purchaser) and (iv) any designee of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, a duly completed and
executed certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, including the financial statements referenced in such Exhibit, which certificate and financial statements shall be so furnished by the Company not later than forty five
(45) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Company and not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company; provided, however, that so long as the Company is a
public reporting company and its annual and other periodic reports are timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and are publicly available on the EDGAR system, then the Company
shall not be required to furnish such certificate and financial statements; and provided further, however, that if any of the information or financial statements required by such certificate is not otherwise publicly available at the time such
certificate is required to be delivered by the Company, then the Company’s delivery of such certificate and financial statements shall be preconditioned upon the Company’s receipt of a confidentiality agreement from each intended recipient

 ARTICLE X 

Covenants 
 SECTION 10.1.
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.  
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 

SECTION 10.2. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.  
 (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest (including Additional Interest) so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its failure so to act. 
 (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
its failure so to act. 

  
 47 









 (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Securities other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of this Indenture
and the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities. 
 (d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to
the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 (e) Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust, for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company, or (if then held
by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 SECTION 10.3. Statement as to Compliance.  

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default
in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder), and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 

  
 48 









 SECTION 10.4. Calculation Agent.  

(a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding, there will at all times be an agent appointed
to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the “Calculation Agent”). The Company has initially appointed the Property Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of
determining LIBOR for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. Except as described in the immediately preceding sentence, so long as the Property Trustee holds any of the Securities, the
Calculation Agent shall be the Property Trustee. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank
which is engaged in transactions in Dollar deposits in Europe in the London interbank market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its
duties without a successor having been duly appointed. 
 (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as
possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in Schedule A), but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation
Agent will calculate the interest rate and dollar amount (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each Paying
Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on
each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts,
together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of
calculating the interest rate for the Securities, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 
 SECTION 10.5. Additional Tax Sums.  
 If (a) the Trust is the Holder of
all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event described in clause (i) or (iii) in the definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to the Trust (and its
permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of
Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof
shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes arising from such Tax 

  
 49 









 
Event (additional such amounts payable by the Company to the Trust, the “Additional Tax Sums”). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context
to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided for in this Section 10.5 to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Tax Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.5 and express mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the payment of any
Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable. 
 SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants.  

(a) The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
the Company shall have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period with respect to the Securities and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, it shall not
(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s Equity Interests, (ii) vote in favor of or permit or otherwise allow any of its
Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to or otherwise retire, any of such Subsidiary’s Equity Interests entitling the holders thereof to a
stated rate of return, other than dividends or distributions on Equity Interests issued by any Subsidiary solely payable to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, whether such Equity Interests are perpetual or otherwise),
or (iii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities (other than
(A) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Equity Interests of the Company in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase or similar plan with respect to any Equity Interests or in connection with the issuance of Equity Interests of the Company (or securities convertible
into or exercisable for such Equity Interests) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Event of Default or Extension Period, (B) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the
Company’s Equity Interests (or any Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s Equity Interests or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the
Company’s Equity Interests, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in Equity Interests of the Company pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Equity Interests or the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any
declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, Equity Interests or other property under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (E) any dividend in the form of Equity
Interests, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend Equity Interests or the Equity Interests issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights are the same Equity Interests as those on which the dividend is being paid or
rank pari passu with or junior to such Equity Interests). 

  
 50 









 (b) The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to hold, directly or
indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the Common Securities of the Trust, provided, that any permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) as holder of
such Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve, wind-up or liquidate the Trust other than (A) in connection with a distribution of the Securities to the holders of the Preferred Securities in liquidation of the Trust or (B) in
connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement, to cause the Trust to
continue to be taxable as a grantor trust and not as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 (c) The
Company shall notify in writing, within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence thereof, the Trustee, the Purchaser and each holder of Preferred Securities of the occurrence of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control
Notice”). In the event of a Change of Control, then, upon written notice (a “Repurchase Notice”) delivered to the Depositor by the Holders of not less than 10% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
Outstanding, Holders shall have the option, exercisable within 30 days from the date of the Change of Control, to require the Depositor to repurchase all of the outstanding Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 4.12 of the
Trust Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.7. Waiver of Covenants.  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition contained in Section 10.6 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, and a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding, by consent of such holders, either waive such compliance in
such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 10.8. Treatment of
Securities.  
 The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts (other than payments of principal)
payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that
has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its U.S. or non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

the Trustee and the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement in writing of such date and of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and provide the additional information required to be included in the notice or notices contemplated
by Section 11.5. In the case of any 

  
 52 









 
redemption of Securities, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Securities or (b) pursuant to an
election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or

(a) If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected and redeemed on a pro
rata basis not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, provided, that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security

(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any
Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.4 shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be

 (b) With respect to Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each notice of redemption shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the
Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price, as calculated by the Company, together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will

 53 









 (iii) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

such portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; and 
 (v) the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
 (c) Notice of redemption of Securities to be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner
provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for
redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
 SECTION 11.6.
Deposit of Redemption Price.  
 Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified in the notice

SECTION 11.7. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.  
 (a) If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.5, the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and
payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a
Place of Payment specified in such notice, the Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the
Redemption Date. 
 (b) Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and upon receipt
thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so
presented and having the same Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and terms. 

  
 54 









 (c) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

(a) In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of any principal of or any premium or interest
on any Senior Debt (following any grace period, if applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such default to
the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or
otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other
acquisition of any of the Securities. 
 (b) In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in clause
(e) or (f) of the definition of Event of Default (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions
with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise
(but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior
Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full. 

  
 55 









 (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to
Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and
owing on account of unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be
made on account of any Equity Interests or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions
with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the
Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered
and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such
Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior
Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. 
 (d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the
Company, shall take such reasonable action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any secured creditor of
the Company in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture. 

(f) The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the
Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities. 
 SECTION 12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.  
 Nothing contained in this
Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any
Proceeding referred to in Section 12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any


  
 56 









 
moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such
payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in accordance with Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article XII, except as
provided in Section 12.8. 
 SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.  

Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of
this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the
Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders
of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XII, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Article
XII to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the
Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 
 SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  

The provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of
the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior
Debt or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, including filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or
such Holder. 

  
 57 









 SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.  

Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.  
 (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part
of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have
or be otherwise charged with. 
 (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this
Section 12.7, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to such Holders of the Securities and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or
terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding,
(ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment of Senior Debt and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 
 SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee.  

(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would
prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of
Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the principal of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date. 

  
 58 









 (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or
attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment
or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment. 
 SECTION 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.  

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII.

 SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.  

The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not owe or be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt
shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. 
 SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt;
Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.  
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set
forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such of its obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XII, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such
Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. Nothing in this Article XII shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6. 

SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.  
 If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XII shall
in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article XII in addition to
or in place of the Trustee; provided, that Sections 12.8 and 12.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE XIII 
 SECTION 13.1.
Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors  
 No recourse for the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or
in any such Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, 

  
 59 









 
director, employee or agent, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of any predecessor or successor to the
Company, either directly or through the Company or any successor thereof, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such
liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of the Securities. 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Indenture by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 Schedule A 
 DETERMINATION OF LIBOR 
 With respect to the Securities, the London interbank
offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case rounded to the nearest .000001%): 
 (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR for any given Security shall, for the
following interest payment period, equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News, for three-month Dollar deposits in Europe, which is displayed on Reuters on Page LIBOR 01 (or any other page
as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for three-month Dollar deposits in Europe), as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. 

(2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Reuters Page LIBOR 01 or such other page as may replace such page, the Calculation
Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount determined by the
Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the
Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean
of the offered quotations that leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount determined by the
Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided that, if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the
procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. 
 (3) As used herein:
“Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; and “LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in
foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.

 First Acceptance Corporation 

Junior Subordinated Note due 2037 
  

			
	No.            	 	$        

 First Acceptance Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
            (the “Holder”), or registered assigns, the principal sum of $            DOLLARS [if the Security is a
Global Security, then insert— or such other principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture] on July 30, 2037, unless redeemed
prior to such date in accordance herewith. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including June 15, 2007, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date on January 30th, April 30th, July 30th and October 30th of each year, commencing on
July 30, 2007, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such
next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 9.277% to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, together with Additional Tax
Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the Indenture, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment; provided, that any overdue principal, premium, or Additional Tax Sums and any
overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum equal to 9.277% to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012,
and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from and including the dates such amounts are due to but excluding the dates such amounts are paid or made available for payment, and such
interest shall be payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall interest accrue hereon at a rate that is higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general
application. 
 The amount of interest payable for any interest period shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year
and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on the Stated Maturity (or any date of
principal repayment upon early maturity) or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor 








 Exhibit A 

 

 
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities
may be listed, traded or quoted and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

So long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e), (f) or (g) of
the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the payment of interest on this Security for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive
quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an “Extension Period”), during which Extension Period(s), no interest shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension Period
shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax
Sums that may be due and payable), except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would
be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum equal to 9.277% to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from and
including the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable to but excluding the date such amounts are paid or made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued
and unpaid on this Security, together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further
extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company
may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment
Date, (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security and (iv) no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e), (f) or (g) of the Indenture has
occurred and is continuing. The Company shall give (i) the Holder of this Security, (ii) the Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee and (iv) any beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Company
(which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period no later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral. 
 During any such Extension Period, the Company
shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s Equity Interests, (ii) vote in favor of or permit or otherwise

acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon
said provisions. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 Exhibit A 

 

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Securities”) issued under the Junior
Subordinated Indenture, dated as of June 15, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of
Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 
 All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2007 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time,
the “Trust Agreement”), relating to First Acceptance Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), among the Company, as Depositor, the trustees named therein and the holders from time to time of the Trust Securities issued
pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. 
 The
Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee) on or after July 30, 2012 and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Security in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall have received
the prior approval of any applicable regulatory authority therefor with respect to such redemption if then required. 
 In
addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Holders of the Securities
(unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture at the Special Event Redemption Price; provided,
that the Company shall have received the prior approval of any applicable insurance regulatory authority therefor with respect to such redemption if then required. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If
less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental
indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the 








 Exhibit A 

 

 
Securities, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in
principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest, including any Additional Interest, to the extent legally
enforceable, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent, as such, past, present, or
future, of the Company or any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of any predecessor or successor to the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. 








 Exhibit A 

 

 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest herein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a
beneficial interest in, this Security agree that, for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness. 
 This Security shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of
the General Obligations Law).

Company, (b) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, that purchases such Subordinated Notes for its own
account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (c) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to an
“accredited investor” within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) that is acquiring such Subordinated Notes for its own
account, or for the account of such an Institutional Accredited Investor, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, subject to the requirements of
the Indenture under which the Subordinated Notes are issued (including this Certificate) and to the right of the Company prior to any such offer, sale or transfer pursuant to clause (c) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel,
certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Company. We understand that the certificates for any security that we receive will bear a legend substantially to the effect of the foregoing and agree to notify each transferee of the

in the Subordinated Notes, and we and any account for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risks of our or its investment for an indefinite period of time. 
 3. We are acquiring the Subordinated Notes purchased by us for our own account (or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion and have authority to make, and do
make, the statements contained in this Certificate) and not with a view to any distribution of the Subordinated Notes, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of our property will at all times be and remain within our
control.

principal amount not less than $100,000, for our own account and for each separate account for which we are acting.

been made by our purchase of any of the Subordinated Notes are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Company. If we are acquiring any Subordinated Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, we represent that we have
