 ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
  
 AGREEMENT entered into as of March 29, 2004 by and between Zoll Medical Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
(“Buyer”), LC Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer (“Subsidiary”), and Lifecor, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Seller”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties have entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master
Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof among Buyer, Subsidiary and Seller; 
  
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Seller desires to sell substantially all of its properties and assets; and 
  

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and only upon Buyer’s determination to consummate this Agreement, Buyer will purchase said
properties and assets of Seller for the consideration specified herein and the assumption by Buyer of certain liabilities and obligations of Seller; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in order to consummate said purchase and sale and in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS. 
  
 1.1 Sale of Assets. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase, at the Closing (as defined in Section 1.5 hereof), all of the properties, assets and business of Seller of every kind and description, tangible and intangible, real, personal or mixed,
and wherever located, including, without limitation, (i) all assets listed on Schedule 1.1(a) hereof, (ii) all assets shown or reflected in the Base Balance Sheet (as defined in the Master Agreement), and all of Seller’s good will and the
exclusive right to use the name of Seller as all or part of a trade or corporate name; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such purchase and sale only the following property: 
  
 (a) Assets and property disposed of since the date hereof in the ordinary
course of business and as permitted by Section 3.2 of the Master Agreement; 
  
 (b) Seller’s corporate franchise, stock record books, corporate record books containing minutes of meetings of directors and stockholders and such other records as have to do exclusively with Seller’s
organization or stock capitalization (collectively, the “Corporate Records”); provided, however, that Seller shall provide Buyer prior to the Closing with copies of each of the foregoing, certified by Seller to be true and correct copies;

  
 (c) All rights under Seller’s insurance policies; and

  
 (d) All rights under this Agreement, the Master Agreement and
the other agreements executed in connection with either such agreement. 

 The assets, property and business of Seller to be sold to and purchased by Buyer under this Agreement are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Subject Assets.” 
  
 1.2 Assumption of Liabilities. Upon the sale and purchase of the Subject Assets, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay or discharge when due in accordance with their respective terms all liabilities of Seller listed on
Schedule 1.2(a) hereof which are outstanding at the time of the Closing and all liabilities and obligations incurred by Seller since the date hereof in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Master
Agreement which are outstanding at the time of the Closing, including all obligations that arise after Closing under any contracts included in the Subject Assets; provided, however, that Buyer shall not assume and shall not pay the following
liabilities: 
  
 (a) Liabilities incurred by Seller in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, including, without limitation, accountant’s fees, any indemnification liabilities of the Seller that may arise under this Agreement or the Master Agreement and expenses pertaining to
the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder; 
  
 (b)
Taxes (as defined in Section 2.15 of the Master Agreement) of Seller (whether relating to periods before or after the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions provided
for herein), including any liability for Taxes arising out of the inclusion of Seller in any group filing consolidated, combined or unitary tax returns or arising out of any transferee liability; 
  
 (c) Liabilities of Seller to its dissenting shareholders, if any, under the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law; 
  
 (d) Liabilities of
Seller with respect to any options, warrants, agreements or convertible or other rights to acquire any shares of its capital stock of any class; 
  
 (e) Liabilities in connection with or relating to all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, demands, assessments and judgments, costs, losses, liabilities,
damages, deficiencies and expenses (whether or not arising out of third party claims), including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or
settlement of any of the foregoing, provided, however, that solely to the extent the foregoing are fully covered by insurance transferred to the Buyer under Section 1.1, such liabilities shall be assumed by the Buyer; and 
  
 (f) Liabilities incurred pursuant to actions taken, or actions not taken,
that are inconsistent with the covenants set forth in Section 3.2 of the Master Agreement; and 
  
 The liabilities to be assumed by Buyer under this Agreement are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Liabilities” and the liabilities which are not assumed by Buyer under this Agreement are hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities.” The assumption of said liabilities by any party hereunder shall not enlarge any rights of third parties under contracts or arrangements with Buyer or Seller and nothing herein shall
prevent any party from contesting in good faith with any third party any of said liabilities. 
  

 2 

 1.3 Purchase Price and Payment. In consideration of the sale by Seller to Buyer of
the Subject Assets, subject to the assumption by Buyer of the Liabilities and the satisfaction of all of the conditions contained herein, Buyer agrees that it will deliver to Seller (a) ten dollars (the “Initial Consideration”) at the
Closing and (b) the Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration (as defined in Section 1.4 hereof), in the event such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof. 
  
 1.4 Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration.

  
 (a) If and to the extent the FY 2006 Revenue Milestone, the
FY 2007 Revenue Milestone, the FY 2008 Revenue Milestone, the FY 2009 Revenue Milestone and the FY 2010 Revenue Milestone, as applicable (each as defined below and together the “FY Revenue Milestones”) are achieved, then the Buyer will pay
to the Seller the respective additional consideration as described in Section 1.4(b) (the “Contingent FY 2006 Revenue Consideration”), Section 1.4(c) (the “Contingent FY 2007 Revenue Consideration”), Section 1.4(d) (the
“Contingent FY 2008 Revenue Consideration”), Section 1.4(e) (the “Contingent FY 2009 Revenue Consideration”) or Section 1.4(f) (the “Contingent FY 2010 Revenue Consideration,” and together with the Contingent FY 2006
Revenue Consideration and the Contingent FY 2007 Revenue Consideration, the Contingent FY 2008 Revenue Consideration, the Contingent FY 2009 Revenue Consideration and the Contingent FY 2010 Revenue Consideration, the “Contingent Revenue
Milestone Consideration”), as the case may be. The payment of the Initial Consideration, the assumption by Buyer of the Liabilities and the payment of the Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration are hereinafter sometimes referred to as
“Purchase Consideration.” 
  
 (b) In the event the Buyer
achieves Qualifying Revenues (as defined below) of over Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) during the Buyer’s fiscal year ending in September 2006 (the “FY 2006 Revenue Milestone”), then the Buyer will pay to the Seller as
additional Purchase Consideration the amount set forth in any one of the following clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), such selection of the manner of payment being at Buyer’s sole discretion (i) that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.02
per share (“Common Stock”), of the Buyer equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Excess FY 2006 Revenues (as defined below) divided by the Closing Exchange Price, or (ii) (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess FY 2006 Revenues in cash

“Contingent FY 2006 Revenue Consideration”). As used herein, the term “Qualifying Revenues” shall mean consolidated revenue (as determined on the same basis as revenue is otherwise recognized by the Buyer in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and Buyer’s past practice), including service revenue, from the sale or lease of Company Products, or licensing revenues from sale or products or services, exclusive of all bad debt,
returns and allowances, sales tax, freight and shipping costs, distributor discounts and commissions in connection with any sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Revenues (x) shall include all third party medical insurance reimbursements
actually received by Buyer related to the lease of Company Products, and (y) shall not include any revenues from the sale of Hospital Products by the Buyer. As used herein, the term “Hospital Products” shall have the meaning of

 3

Exchange Price” shall mean the mean average of the closing prices of a share of Buyer’s Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the business day that is three (3) business days immediately prior to the date of issuance of such

to and incorporate substantially the same technology as those products that are listed on Schedule 1.4(b). As used herein, the term “Excess FY 2006 Revenues” shall mean the amount by which the Buyer’s Qualifying Revenues during the
Buyer’s fiscal year ending in September 2006 (such amount being referred to as the “FY 2006 Revenues”) exceeds Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000). 
  
 (c) In the event the amount of the Buyer’s Qualifying Revenues during the fiscal year ending in September 2007 are
greater than the greater of FY 2006 Revenues and Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000) (such greater number being the “FY 2007 Revenue Milestone”), then the Buyer will pay to the Seller as additional Purchase Consideration the
amount set forth in any one of the following clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), such selection of the manner of payment being at Buyer’s sole discretion (i) that number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Excess

Revenues” shall mean the amount by which the Buyer’s Qualifying Revenues during the Buyer’s fiscal year ending in September 2007 (such amount being referred to as the “FY 2007 Revenues”) exceeds the greater of the FY 2006
Revenue Milestone and Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000).

at Buyer’s sole discretion (i) that number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Excess FY 2008 Revenues (as defined below) divided by the Closing Exchange Price, or (ii) (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Excess FY 2008 Revenues in cash plus (B) that number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess FY 2008 Revenues divided by the Closing Exchange Price or (iii) fifty percent 50% of the Excess FY 2007

to as the “FY 2010 Revenues”) exceeds the greater of the FY 2009 Revenues and Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000,000). 
  
 (g) As promptly as practicable following the applicable fiscal year end, and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Buyer shall prepare and
deliver to the Seller a schedule of the Qualifying Revenues for such fiscal year, based on the Buyer’s audited financial statements, and setting forth, as of the applicable fiscal year end, the number and type of Company Products sold during
such year, the total Qualifying Revenues from such sales and the aggregate amount of such applicable Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration (each a “Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule”). The Seller shall have sixty
(60) days from receipt thereof to review and dispute such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule. The Seller and its accounting and/or financial advisors shall have the right to review the Buyer’s books and records with respect to
sales of the Buyer’s Products. The failure by the Seller to express its disagreement within such sixty (60) day period will constitute acceptance of such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule, such Contingent Revenue Milestone
Consideration Schedule shall become final and binding on all parties and the Buyer shall pay the applicable Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration as set forth above within fifteen (15) days following acceptance (or deemed acceptance) of such
Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule. If the Seller has any objection to such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule, the Seller shall give written notice to the Buyer within such sixty (60) day period, (A) setting forth
the Sellers’ objection to such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration Schedule and (B) specifying in reasonable detail its basis for its disagreement with the Buyer’s computation. The Buyer and the Seller shall each submit any disputes

 5 

 
Milestone Consideration Schedule to (x) the Buyer’s current independent accountants, (y) a nationally recognized accounting firm chosen by the Seller
and (z) a third independent accountant selected by the accountants appointed pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above (together, the “Resolution Accountants”) for resolution. The determination of the Resolution Accountants with respect to
each of the items in dispute shall be final and binding upon both parties. Within fifteen (15) days following the Resolution Accountants’ determination of the applicable Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration, the Buyer shall pay the
applicable Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration as set forth above. The fees and expenses of the Resolution Accountants shall be shared equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, in no event
shall the Buyer deliver Purchase Consideration to the Seller in the form of Common Stock if the aggregate number of shares, or voting power, as applicable, of Buyer’s Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Master Agreement is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the total number of shares, or 20% of the voting power, of Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof. In such event, the Buyer shall deliver, in lieu of such
excess shares of Common Stock, cash in an amount equal to the cash payment obligation that otherwise would have been satisfied through the payment of such excess shares. 
  
 1.5 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement
(herein called the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP at 53 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the Exercise Notice by Buyer to Seller as provided in Section 5.1 of
the Master Agreement or at such other place or earlier or later date or time as may be fixed by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller. 
  
 1.6 Delivery of Agreement of Assumption of Liabilities. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller an
Agreement for Assumption of the Liabilities by Buyer in the form of Exhibit 1.6 hereto. 
  
 1.7 Transfer of Subject Assets. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer, or Buyer may cause to be delivered pursuant to the Power of Attorney (as defined in the
Master Agreement), good and sufficient instruments of transfer transferring to Buyer title to all the Subject Assets. Such instruments of transfer (a) shall be in the form and will contain the warranties, covenants and other provisions (not
inconsistent with the provisions hereof) which are usual and customary for transferring the type of property involved under the laws of the jurisdictions applicable to such transfers, (b) shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer and its
counsel, and (c) shall effectively vest in Buyer good and marketable title to all the Subject Assets free and clear of all liens, restrictions and encumbrances not shown or reflected on the Base Balance Sheet or Schedule 1.2(a) hereof. 

 

 6 

 1.8 Delivery of Records and Contracts. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to Buyer all of Seller’s leases, contracts, commitments, agreements (including without limitation non competition agreements) and rights, with such assignments thereof and consents to assignments as are necessary to assure Buyer
of the full benefit of the same, other than as set forth on Schedule 1.8 hereto. Seller shall also deliver to Buyer at the Closing all of Seller’s business records, tax returns, books and other data relating to its assets, business and
operations (except corporate records and other property of Seller excluded under Subsection 1.1(b) as to which only copies need be delivered in accordance with such Section), and Seller shall take all requisite steps to put Buyer in actual
possession and operating control of the assets and business of Seller. After the Closing, Buyer shall afford to Seller and its accountants and attorneys, for the purpose of preparing such tax returns of Seller as may be required after the Closing,
reasonable access to the books and records of Seller delivered to Buyer under this Section and shall permit Seller, at Seller’s expense, to make extracts and copies therefrom. 
  
 1.9 Further Assurances. Seller from time to time after the Closing at the request of Buyer and without
further consideration shall execute and deliver further instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably require to more effectively transfer and assign to, and vest in, Buyer each of the Subject Assets.
Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to permit Buyer to enjoy Seller’s rating and benefits under the workman’s compensation laws and unemployment compensation laws of applicable jurisdictions, to the extent permitted by such laws. Nothing
herein shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to receive at the Closing an effective assignment of each of the leases, contracts, commitments or rights of Seller as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 1.10 Allocation of Purchase Price. Prior to the Closing,
Buyer and Seller shall agree on an allocation of the Purchase Consideration (and all other capitalized costs) among the Subject Assets. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall be binding upon Buyer and Seller for all purposes (including financial accounting purposes, financial and regulatory reporting purposes and tax purposes). Subject to the Closing actually occurring,
Buyer and Seller also each agree to file IRS form 8594 consistently with the foregoing and in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. 
  
 1.11 Sales and Transfer Taxes. All sales and transfer taxes, fees and duties under applicable law incurred in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby will be borne and paid by Buyer. 
  
 SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
  
 2.1 Restatement of Master Agreement. Each of the Representations and Warranties made by the Buyer in Section 2 of the Master Agreement, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule attached as Schedule A to the Master
Agreement of which this Agreement is an exhibit is hereby incorporated by reference into Section 2 of this Agreement and shall be treated for all purposes as if set forth in its entirety herein, and each representation or warranty made by the Buyer
to the Seller in Section 4 therein as so qualified is hereby deemed to be made by the Buyer to the Seller herein. 
  

 7 

 2.2 Making of Representations and Warranties by Seller. As a material inducement to
Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller hereby makes to Buyer and the Subsidiary the representations and warranties contained, or deemed to be contained, in this Section 2. 
  
 (a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the
Buyer in reliance upon the Seller’s representation to the Buyer, which by the Seller’s execution of this Agreement the Seller hereby confirms, that the Common Stock will be acquired for investment for the Seller’s own account, not as
a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the
Seller further represents that it does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Common Stock.
The Seller represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. The Seller has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Common Stock. 
  
 (b) Investment Experience. The Seller understands that the Common Stock have not been, and will not be, registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent and the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations as expressed herein. 
  
 (c) Restricted Securities. The Seller understands that the shares of Common Stock are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired
from the Buyer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Common Stock may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this
connection, the Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. 
  
 (d) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
the representations set forth above, the Seller further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Common Stock unless and until:

amendment of the Disclosure Schedule made pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement. Any matter arising from actions taken or not taken in breach of Section 3.2 of
the Master Agreement may not be the subject of a supplement or amendment of the Disclosure Schedule. 
  
 3.3 Existence of Seller. Seller agrees to maintain its corporate existence and not liquidate or dissolve for so long as any Purchase

prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, be employed by or assist in any manner or in any capacity, or have any interest in or make any loan to any person, firm, corporation or business which engages in any
activity anywhere in the world which is similar to or competitive with any business in which Seller is presently engaged or proposes to engage; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent Seller from owning beneficially or of record up to one

and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to Hart-Scott-Rodino. The parties hereto will not take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required approvals and shall promptly respond
to any requests for additional information from any governmental authority or filings in respect thereof. The Buyer and the Seller shall each share equally the payment of all filing and related fees in connection with any such filings which must be
made by any of the parties under the Hart-Scott-Rodino. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with all required filings under Hart-Scott-Rodino” and shall furnish all follow up information required in connection therewith.

entitled to vote upon a sale of the Seller’s assets pursuant to Section 1932 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, as amended, provided, however, that no such vote will be required if such sale of the Subject Assets is in connection
with the sale by Buyer or Buyer’s stockholders of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Buyer. The Buyer agrees to use reasonable efforts to identify potential purchasers who intend to increase Qualifying Revenues; provided,
however, that the Buyer shall have the right to consummate a sale of the Subject Assets to any purchaser in its sole discretion. 
  
 4.4 Line of Credit. Upon Closing and until the first payment of any Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration, the Buyer will make
available a line of credit to the Seller which will permit the Seller to borrow up to $50,000 on the same terms as the credit agreement assumed by Buyer from Dr. Wholey on March 3, 2004, provided, however, that the full amount 

  

 10 

 
of any principal borrowed thereunder and interest thereon shall be due and payable immediately upon payment by Buyer of any Contingent Revenue Milestone
Consideration, and provided further that Buyer may offset any amounts owed against payment by Buyer of such Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration. In the event no Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration is ever paid, the full amount of
principal and interest thereon shall be due and payable on September 30, 2010.

 7.2 Collection of Assets. Subsequent to the Closing,
Buyer shall have the right and authority to collect all receivables and other items transferred and assigned to it by Seller hereunder and to endorse with the name of Seller any checks received on account of such receivables or other items, and
Seller agrees that it will promptly transfer or deliver to Buyer from time to time, any cash or other property that Seller may receive with respect to any claims, contracts, licenses, leases, commitments, sales orders, purchase orders, receivables

 7.3 Payment of Obligations. Seller shall pay all of the Excluded Liabilities as they become due after the Closing consistent with past practice. 
  
 SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION. 
  
 8.1 Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer, the Subsidiary and their respective
subsidiaries and affiliates and persons serving as officers, directors, partners or employees thereof (individually a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any
damages, liabilities, losses, Taxes, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid
in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or based upon any other breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking of the Seller under this Agreement or
in any certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered by the Seller pursuant hereto, or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing constituting such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Parties for any amount in excess of the aggregate amount paid by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement, the License Agreement (as defined in the Master Agreement) and the Purchase
Agreement. 
  
 8.2 Indemnification by Buyer.
The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller (the “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) of any kind or nature
whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising out of or based upon any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking made by the Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Buyer hereunder, or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing
constituting such a breach or in connection with any failure by Seller to deliver a notice required under the WARN Act caused by Buyer causing the Closing to occur prior to the delivery of such notice. 
  

 12 

 8.3 Notice; Defense of Claims. An indemnified party may make claims for
indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the indemnifying party within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party, the
indemnified party shall also give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
except to the extent that it is prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such notice. In any case, such notice shall summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party. Within 20 days
after receiving such notice the indemnifying party shall give written notice to the indemnified party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and
expense. If the indemnifying party fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within 20 days after receipt of notice thereof, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become immediately due and
payable. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long
as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. The indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through
counsel; provided, however, that if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party is advised that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party may engage separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend a third party claim or liability is given
by the indemnifying party, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right, at the expense of the indemnifying party, to undertake the defense of
such claim or liability (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and to compromise or settle it, exercising reasonable business judgment. If the third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the
indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available such information and assistance as the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense, at the expense of the indemnifying
party. 
  
 8.4 Satisfaction of Seller Indemnification
Obligations. In order to satisfy the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1 above, the Buyer shall have the right (in addition to collecting directly from Seller) to set off its indemnification claims against amounts relating
to the payment of Contingent Revenue Milestone Consideration (whether or not then due and payable) or amounts that may be paid by the Buyer under this Section 8 to the Seller, and such set off shall be considered a reduction in Purchase
Consideration. 
  

 13 

 SECTION 9.MISCELLANEOUS. 
  

9.1 Bulk Sales Law. Buyer waives compliance by Seller with the provisions of any applicable bulk
sales, fraudulent conveyance or other law for the protection of creditors in connection with the transfer of the Subject Assets under this Agreement.

receipt is acknowledged or the expiration of three days after deposit in United States post office facilities properly addressed with postage prepaid. All notices to a party will be sent to the addresses set forth below or to such other address or

inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by either party hereto have been expressed herein or in such Schedules or Exhibits or in such other writings. 
  
 9.6 Assignability; Binding Effect. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, this Agreement is freely
assignable by Buyer. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Seller. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 

 
 9.7 Captions and Gender. The captions in this
Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any term or provision hereof. The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or
neuter, as the context may require. 
  
 9.8 Execution
in Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
document. 
  
 9.9 Amendments. This Agreement

compliance. 
  
 9.10 Publicity and
Disclosures. Except as required by law, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable NASDAQ listing requirements, no press releases or public disclosure, either written or oral, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, shall be made by a party to this Agreement without the prior knowledge and written consent of Buyer and the Seller. 
  
 9.11 Dispute Resolution. 
  
 (a) All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this
Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. before a single arbitrator in New
York, New York. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. unless specifically modified herein. In the event J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. is unavailable, the arbitration shall
be conducted before an arbitrator that is mutually agreeable to the parties and, in such event, all references to J.A.M.S./Endispute herein shall apply to the arbitrator chosen by the parties. The arbitrator hearing any dispute under this Section
9.11 shall be selected within 20 business days of written notice of the intent to arbitrate a dispute. 
  
 The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise
provided herein. Any party 

  

 15 

 
refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in
enforcing the award. This Section 9.11 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior
arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration; provided,
however, that the prevailing party shall be entitled to, and the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, its attorneys fees, costs and expenses in the event such party completely prevails or prevails in all material respects in the
arbitration. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement
or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of New York for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section
9.11(a) of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices
are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto. 
  
 9.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that it
would be difficult to measure damages which might result from a breach of this Agreement by the Seller and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for such a breach. Accordingly, if there is a breach or proposed breach of any provision of
this Agreement by the Seller, and the Buyer does not elect to terminate under Section 5, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies which it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain such breach
without having to show or prove actual damage to the Buyer. 
  
 9.13 Reportable Transactions. Notwithstanding anything herein or any other express or implied agreement, arrangement or understanding to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) any obligations of
confidentiality contained herein and therein do not apply and have not applied from the commencement of discussions between the parties to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and any related
transactions or agreements) and (ii) each party to this Agreement (and each of its employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. This authorization to disclose the tax treatment and tax
structure is limited to the extent that confidentiality is required to comply with any applicable securities laws.

 (b) Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or after reasonable inquiry
should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or after
reasonable inquiry should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
  
 (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 
  

 10 

 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 to 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 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 
  

 11 

 shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined in Section
1.4(h)) 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 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 eightieth (180th) day after the applicable record date. 
  
 SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 
  
 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 and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

  

 12 

 (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 1401 Dove Street, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

  
 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, if any, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, 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 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
  
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 1.8. Successors and
Assigns. 
  
 This Indenture shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company and the Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in connection with a transaction involving the Company that is permitted under Article VIII and pursuant to which the
assignee agrees in writing to perform the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Company shall not assign its obligations hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 1.9. Separability Clause. 
  
 If any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue. 
  

 13 

 SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities and, to the extent expressly provided in Sections 5.2, 5.8, 5.9, 5.11,
5.13, 9.2 and 10.7, the holders of Preferred Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  

SECTION 1.11. Governing Law. 
  
 This Indenture and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Company and the Trustee 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). 
  
 SECTION 1.12. Submission to Jurisdiction. 
  
 ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS INDENTURE MAY BE
BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY
OF THIS INDENTURE, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS INDENTURE. 
  
 SECTION 1.13. Non-Business Days.

  
 If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities) payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal or other amounts in respect of such Security shall not be made on
such date, but shall be made 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, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the
case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day) in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity.

 Any Security issued hereunder shall be in substantially the following form: 
  
 IMPAC MORTGAGE HOLDINGS, INC. 
  
 Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Note due 2035 
  

					
	 No.
                    
	 	 	 	$ 25,780,000            

  
 Impac Mortgage
Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Property Trustee for Impac Capital Trust #1, a Delaware statutory trust, or registered assigns, the principal sum of Twenty Five Million Seven
Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($25,780,000) [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 April 30, 2035. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from April 1, 2005, or from the most recent date on and to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to
deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 of each year, 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), in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum
through the Interest Payment Date in April 2010 (“Fixed Rate Period”) and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum and thereafter at, 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, further, that any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear
Additional Interest a fixed rate equal to 8.01% through the Interest Payment Date in April 2010 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
  
 During the Fixed Rate Period, the interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for any partial
period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of interest payable for any Interest Payment Period will be computed 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 
  

 15 

 on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. 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 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 on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
  
 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after April 30, 2006 during the term of this Security, to defer the payment of interest on this Security for a period of up to four (4) 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 equal
to 8.01% per annum through the Interest Payment Date in April 2010 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until 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 four (4) 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 four (4) 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. The Company shall give the Holder of this Security and the Trustee
written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral or, so long as this Security is
held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of Impac Capital Trust #1 would be payable but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the
Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to any securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the record date for the payment of such Distributions. 
  
 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 
  

 16 

 respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium,
if any, 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 this Security (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital
stock of the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock
purchase plan and (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a
result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or of any class or series of the
Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock
or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or
(e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks
pari passu with or junior to such stock). 
  
 Payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security 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 this Security 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 in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written
transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case 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 this 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 this Security will be made at such
place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 
  
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of
the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her 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. 
  

 17 

 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. 
  
 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Securities”) issued under the Amended and Restated Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of September
    , 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, 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, the Holders of the Securities and the holders of the Preferred 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 Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement,
dated as of September     , 2005 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to the Impac Capital Trust #1 (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 April 30, 2010 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, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date. 
  
 In addition, prior to April 30, 2010, 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 a Redemption Price equal to one hundred seven and one half percent (107.5%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including
any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date. 
  
 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. 
  

 18 

 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 Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 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, if any, 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 restricted to transfers to “Qualified Purchasers” (as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), and 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 service charge shall be made
for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 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. 
  

 19 

 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). 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed on this      day of

 SECTION 2.4.
Temporary Securities.

definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Securities. 
  
 (b) If temporary
Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of
the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

 ARTICLE III 
  
 THE SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. 
  
 (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum through the
Interest Payment Date in April 2010 and thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from May 1, 2010 or from the most recent date on and to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, and any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest at the rate equal to a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum through the Interest Payment Date in
April 2010 and thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum, compounded quarterly from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds for the payment thereof are made available for payment. 
  
 (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 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered 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 
  

 23 

 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 
  
 (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. During the Fixed Rate Period, interest payments for the Securities shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount
payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of interest payable for any Interest Payment Period will be
computed 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 in writing to the Paying Agent at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case 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 this 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 this Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 
  

 24 

 (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 Twenty Five Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($25,780,000) executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of 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, and the Indenture constitutes, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, each enforceable in accordance
with its terms, 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; (3) the Securities are not required to be registered under the Securities Act; and (4) the Indenture is not
required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture 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 signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered 
  

 25 

 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 the Holder after the Original Issue Date, 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. 
  
 (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. The Trustee may conclusively rely, and be protected in relying, upon the written identification of the owners of beneficial
interests furnished by the Depositary, and shall not be liable for any delay resulting from a delay by the Depositary. 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 Trustees 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 (x) the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or (y) 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, 
  

 26 

 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 applicable 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 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 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 holder 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 
  

 27 

 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 holders 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. 
  
 (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 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. 
  
 (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 (g): (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. 
  

 28 

 (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. 
  
 (i) The
Securities may only be transferred to a “Qualified Purchaser” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act. 
  
 (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer hereunder complies with the registration
provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Investment Company Act; provided,
that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 3.5 to be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Registrar by a Holder or transferee of a Security, the Trustee and the Securities Registrar shall be under a
duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate does not comply
with such terms. 
  
 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 Trustee to save the Company and the Trustee harmless, the Company shall execute and 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. 
  
 (b) If there shall be delivered to the Trustee (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security
or indemnity as may be required by it to save each of the Company and the Trustee 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 
  

 29 

 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 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 retained or 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 has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time after April 30, 2006 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 four (4) consecutive quarterly Interest Payment Periods (each such 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 the rate equal to a fixed rate equal to 8.01% per annum
through the Interest Payment Date in April 2010 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until 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 
  

 30 

 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 four (4) 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 four (4) 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. The
Company shall give the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would
be payable but for such deferral or, so long as any Securities are held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of such Trust would be payable
but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to any securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the record date
for the payment of such Distributions. 
  
 (b) In connection with
any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a). 
  
 SECTION 3.10. Reserved. 
  
 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 any other 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.

amalgamations, each as and to the extent permitted by the Trust Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in
aggregate 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, 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 payable, the
holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property 
  

 34 

 Trustee, the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration the principal amount of and the accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 (b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, or the holders of a majority in
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

sufficient to pay: 
  
 (A) all overdue
installments of interest on all Securities,

 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; 
  
 provided, that if the Holders of such Securities fail to annul such declaration and waive such default, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, subject to the 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. 
  
 SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 (a) The Company covenants that if: 
  
 (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 
  
 (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of and any premium on any Security at the Maturity
thereof, 
  

 35 

 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 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. 
  
 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 counsel, and
any other amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6. 
  
 SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities 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. 
  

 36 

 SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect
to the Securities pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or any premium or interest
(including any Additional Interest), upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6;

  
 SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company if
and to the extent required by Article XII; 
  
 THIRD:
Subject to Article XII, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest), respectively; and 
  
 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 not less than 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, 
  

 37 

 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, if any, 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) or Section 5.1(b), 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. 
  
 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. 
  

 38 

 SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. 
  
 The Holders of not less than 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 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. 
  
 SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities or the holders of not less than 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 
  

 39 

 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, 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 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 corporation 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 corporation 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. 
  
 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 
  

 40 

 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 at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities (or, if applicable, from the holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of 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. 
  
 (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 or any holder of Preferred Securities 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 and the holders of Preferred Securities 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 at least 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 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 except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company and money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. 
  

 41 

 (e) If at any time the Trustee hereunder is not the same Person as the Property Trustee under the Trust
Agreement: 
  
 (i) whenever a reference is made
herein to the dissolution, termination or liquidation of the Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such dissolution, termination, or liquidation has occurred so long as the Securities are or continue to be registered in the name of
such Property Trustee, and the Trustee shall be charged with notice or knowledge of such dissolution, termination or liquidation only upon written notice thereof given to the Trustee by the Depositor under the Trust Agreement; and 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be charged with notice or
knowledge that any Person is a holder of Preferred Securities or Common Securities issued by the Trust or whether any group of holders of Preferred Securities constitutes any specified percentage of all outstanding Preferred Securities for any
purpose under this Indenture, unless and until the Trustee is furnished with a list of holders by such Property Trustee and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
protected in relying on such list. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding
Section 1.10, the Trustee shall not, and shall not be deemed to, owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust and shall not be liable to any such holder (other than for the willful misconduct or
negligence of the Trustee) if the Trustee in good faith (i) pays over or distributes to a registered Holder of the Securities or to the Company or to any other Person, cash, property or securities to which such holders of such Trust Securities shall
be entitled or (ii) takes any action or omits to take any action at the request of the Holder of such Securities. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such
amount over to, such holders of Preferred Securities or Common Securities or their representatives. 
  
 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(c), 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. 
  
 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, 
  

 42

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. 
  

 47

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

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.

 (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. 
  
 (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 trusts 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 
  

 54 

 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 covering the preceding calendar 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. The delivery requirements of this Section 10.3 may be satisfied by compliance with Section 8.16(a) of the Trust Agreement. 
  
 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Eurodollar
deposits in the international Eurodollar 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 (the Interest Payment shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the 
  

 55 

 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. 
  
 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 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 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 shares of the Company’s capital stock (for the avoidance of doubt, the term
“capital stock” includes both common stock and preferred stock of the Company), (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 shares of such subsidiaries preferred stock (for the avoidance of doubt, whether such preferred stock is perpetual or otherwise) except for dividends or distributions from Impac
Funding 
  

 56 

 Corporation to the Company, or (iii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium, if any, 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 shares of capital stock 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
plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (B)
as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or of any class or series of the
Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock
or the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or
(E) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks
pari passu with or junior to such stock). 
  
 (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 will use its reasonable efforts to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for
the taxable year ending December 31, 2004 (and each fiscal quarter of such year) and succeeding taxable years for so long as the judgment of the Company’s board of directors is that the Company should maintain its status as a REIT. 

 
 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 at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, and at least 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.

  

 57 

 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, or any other applicable form
establishing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax. 
  
 ARTICLE XI

 The Company may, at its option, on any Interest Payment Date, on or after

 (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 redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum

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.

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 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder

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. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 12.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the
manner hereinafter set forth 
  

 60 

 in this Article XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional
Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. 
  
 SECTION 12.2. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. 
  
 (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 (d) or (e) 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. 
  
 (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 any premium 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 capital stock 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 
  

 61 

 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 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 
  

 62 

 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. 
  
 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 
  

 63 

 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. 
  
 (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 
  

 64 

 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 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. 
  
 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.

 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 (except with respect to the first Interest Payment Period, such date shall be March 30, 2005) (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 Eurodollar deposits that appears on
Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, 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 Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, 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 Eurodollar deposits 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 Eurodollar deposits 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.
