WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive mutually desire to enter into an agreement containing the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company will employ Executive and Executive will provide services to Parent, the Company and their subsidiary entities from and after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 below);
WHEREAS, by entering into this Agreement, the Executive, the Company and Parent desire to supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Parent’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Omnibus Plan”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Employment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby offers, and the Executive hereby accepts, employment with the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.Term.  The term of employment of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be for a term of three (3) years commencing as of December 6, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), and shall be automatically extended thereafter for successive one (1)-year terms, unless any party hereto elects not to extend this Agreement by giving written notice to the other parties at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the original or any extension term that this Agreement is not to be extended.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be earlier terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof.  The term of this Agreement, as from time to time extended or renewed, is hereafter referred to as the “Employment Term.”

(b)The Executive shall be employed by the Company on a full-time basis and, during the Employment Term, shall perform the duties and responsibilities, and shall have the powers and authority, as are normally associated with the office of Chief Financial Officer and shall have such other duties, responsibilities, power and authority as may be reasonably 

designated from time to time by the CEO or the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Board”).  The Executive shall be based at the Company’s offices located in Bellevue, Washington, but may work remotely from Executive’s residence at any time or from time to time as determined by the Executive in his sole discretion, provided that such remote work does not materially interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder, and subject in each case to reasonable business travel in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder.
(c)The Executive shall perform his duties, responsibilities and functions to Parent and the Company hereunder to the best of his abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, professional and efficient manner and shall comply with the Company Group’s (as defined in Section 5(e)(ii) below) policies and procedures in all material respects.  In performing his duties and exercising his authority under this Agreement, the Executive shall support and implement the business and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Board and shall support and cooperate with the Company Group’s efforts to expand their businesses and operate profitably and in conformity with the business and strategic plans approved by the Board.  
(d)During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote all his business time, attention and efforts, as well as his business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the business and the interests of the Company Group, and to the discharge of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Executive may make and manage passive personal investments on behalf of the Executive and his family, or engage in other activities for any civic or non-profit institution, provided that such activities do not conflict with the interests of the Company Group or otherwise interfere (other than in a de minimis respect) with the discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall not devote any of his time or efforts to the development, advancement or operation of any other for-profit venture or activity, provided that subject to the Company’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), the Executive shall be permitted to serve on up to two boards of directors of for-profit entities at any time or from time to time, provided that such activities do not conflict with the interests of the Company Group or otherwise interfere (other than in a de minimis respect) with the discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.
(e)The Executive represents and warrants, as of the date of this Agreement, that the Executive is not bound by any employment, consulting, non-competition, confidentiality or other agreement or arrangement that would, or would reasonably be expected to, prohibit or restrict the Executive from becoming employed by the Company or performing the Executive’s services, duties and obligations hereunder.
4.Compensation.
(a)General.  For all services rendered by the Executive to the Company Group, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Executive the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 4.

    2    			
	

such practices may be modified from time to time.  The Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in the first quarter of each year during the Employment Term following the Effective Date commencing with calendar year 2023, and may be increased, but not decreased below its then current level other than as permitted by Section 5(d)(ii) below, from time to time by the Board or the Committee.  
(c)Annual Bonus.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive payment under the Company’s annual bonus plan as may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Bonus”) based on a target bonus opportunity of $275,000, which target bonus opportunity shall automatically be increased proportionately upon any increase in the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), upon the attainment of one or more pre-established performance goals established by the Board or the Committee.  The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid in a single lump sum during the calendar year following the calendar year with respect to which it is earned and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event, within thirty (30) days) following completion of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements (on a consolidated basis) for the year to which the bonus relates, or such earlier date as is approved by the Board or the Committee, and any earned annual bonus shall not be subject to further vesting or, except as may be elected by the Executive in compliance with Code Section 409A (as defined below), deferral.  Executive’s Annual Bonus for 2021 shall be prorated based on the portion of the year during which he was employed by the Company.
(d)Equity Awards.  
(i)Upon the Effective Date, Parent shall grant the Executive the following restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards (the “Initial Awards”):  
(A)a RSU award covering a number of shares of Parent’s Class A common stock having a total grant date value equal to $2,750,000 (the “Make-Whole Award”), which award shall vest over a two (2) year period, with 18.8% of such RSUs vesting on each of February 15, May 15 and August 15 of 2022 and 10.9% of such RSUs vesting on November 15, 2022, February 15, 2023, May 15, 2023 and August 15, 2023, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through the relevant vesting date; and
(B)a RSU award covering a number of shares of Parent’s Class A common stock having a total grant date value equal to $2,500,000, which award shall vest over a four (4) year period, with 25% of such RSUs vesting on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, and the remaining RSUs vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through the relevant vesting date.
The number of shares of Parent’s Class A common stock covered by each Initial Award shall be calculated by dividing the grant date value set forth above by the volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock for the four-week period ended the day immediately preceding the Effective Date.

    3    			
	

(ii)In addition, beginning with the first calendar year during the Employment Term commencing with calendar year 2023, the Executive shall be eligible for annual equity awards, subject to the approval of the Board or the Committee, when annual equity awards are granted to other senior executives of the Company generally (such awards granted to the Executive, the “Annual Awards”).  The Annual Awards shall be in the amounts and forms as determined by the Board or the Committee. 
(iii)The Initial Awards and the Annual Awards shall be subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the applicable award agreements approved by the Board or the Committee; provided, that the following terms shall apply: 
(A)to the extent more favorable to the Executive, the terms and definitions in this Agreement shall govern and apply to the Initial Awards and the Annual Awards (including, without limitation, the definitions of “Cause” and “Good Reason”);
(B)to the extent more favorable to the Executive (but without duplication of any vesting credit provided under the applicable award agreement), subject to the Executive delivering to the Company a Release within the Release Delivery Period (each, as defined below), in case of a termination of the Executive’s employment due to the Executive’s death, by the Company for Disability (as defined below)or without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), the Make Whole Award shall to the extent then unvested, vest in full upon (and effective as of) the date of such termination (the “Vesting Credit”); and
(C)to the extent more favorable to the Executive (but without duplication of any vesting credit provided under the applicable award agreement), the Initial Awards and any Annual Awards that are subject solely to service-vesting conditions shall, to the extent then unvested, become fully vested upon (and effective as of) a termination of the Executive’s employment (x) due to the Executive’s death or by the Company for Disability, (y) by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, or (z) as a result of the Company’s or Parent’s non-extension of the Employment Term as provided in Section 2 hereof, but only if, in each case, the date of such termination occurs during the Change of Control Protection Period (as defined below) (the “Change of Control Vesting Credit”); provided, that if such termination date occurs during the Change of Control Protection Period and prior to the Change of Control, such accelerated vesting shall be subject to, and effective as of, the effective date of the Change of Control. 
(e)Expenses.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses of types authorized by the Company and incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder.  The Executive shall comply with such budget limitations and approval and reporting requirements with respect to expenses as the Company may establish from time to time.  To the extent any reimbursements required pursuant to this Section 4(e) are taxable to the Executive, then for purposes of complying with the requirements of Code Section 409A, any such reimbursement shall be paid as soon as reasonably possible but, in any event, any reimbursement hereunder shall be made no later than the last day of the taxable year following the year in which the expense was incurred.

    4

As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of an invoice (and in no event later than March 15, 2022), the Company will pay all reasonable advisor and legal fees and expenses for advice and representation that the Executive incurred in the current calendar year in evaluation, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and all related agreements, not to exceed $15,000 in the aggregate.
5.Termination and Payments upon Termination.  
(a)Death.   In the event of the Executive’s death, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate.  In such event, the Company Group shall have no further obligation to the Executive beyond the date employment is terminated, other than (x) if applicable, the Change in Control Vesting Credit, and (y) the Company’s obligation to pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has been designated by the Executive in writing, to his estate (with the amounts due under Sections 5(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) hereof to be paid within sixty (60) days following termination of employment, or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law), (i) any Base Salary earned but not paid through the date of termination; (ii) any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid with respect to any fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, payable on the date bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company; (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination (provided that such expenses and required substantiation and documentation are submitted within thirty (30) days following termination and that such expenses are reimbursable under the Company’s policy); (iv) any accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with Company policy; (v) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits as may be provided under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement; and (vi) and any other payments or benefits required by applicable law to be paid or provided to the Executive or his dependents (including under COBRA and any other similar state laws) (collectively, items (i) through (vi) of this Section 5(a) shall be hereafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).
(b)Disability.  A termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall occur at the option of the Company, in the event of the Executive’s Disability, upon thirty (30) days written notice from the Company to the Executive.  “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability to perform the essential duties, responsibilities and functions of his position with the Company as a result of any mental or physical disability or incapacity even with reasonable accommodations of such disability or incapacity provided by the Company or if providing such accommodations would be unreasonable for 180 days (including weekends and holidays) in any 365-day period, all as determined by the Board in its reasonable good faith judgment.  The Executive shall cooperate in all respects with the Company if a question arises as to whether he has become disabled (including, without limitation, submitting to an examination by a medical doctor or other health care specialists selected by the Company and authorizing such medical doctor or such other health care specialist to discuss the Executive’s condition with the 

    5    			
	

Company).  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Disability, the Company Group shall have no further obligation to the Executive beyond the date employment is terminated other than for (x) the Accrued Obligations and (y) if applicable, the Change in Control Vesting Credit. 
(c)Expiration of Employment Term; Non-Extension of Agreement. The Executive’s employment and the Employment Term shall terminate upon the expiration of the Employment Term due to a non-extension of the Agreement by the Company, Parent or the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 hereof.  If the Executive’s employment and the Employment Term terminates upon expiration of the Employment Term due to a non-extension of the Agreement by the Company or Parent, such termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and a “Qualifying Termination” (as defined below). 
(d)Termination by the Executive.  
(i)The Executive shall have the right to terminate this Agreement voluntarily at any time, for any reason, including for Good Reason upon written notice to the Company.  In the event of the Executive’s termination (including as a result of the Executive’s non-extension of the Employment Term as provided in Section 2 hereof) without Good Reason, the Company Group shall have no further obligation to the Executive beyond the date employment is terminated other than for the Accrued Obligations. 
(ii)The term “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, without the express written consent of the Executive, unless such events are fully corrected by the Company (or such other member of the Company Group, as applicable) within thirty (30) days following written notification by the Executive to the Company of the occurrence of one of such following events:  (i) the Company reducing the amount of the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus without the Executive’s consent; provided that an across-the-board reduction in the salary level or target bonus opportunities of the senior executives of the Company as a group by the same percentage amount and approved by the Board or the Committee will not constitute a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or Target Bonus, as applicable, (ii) the Company changing the Executive’s titles or reducing his responsibilities in each case in a manner materially inconsistent with the positions he holds or any materially adverse change in the Executive’s reporting requirements from those in effect on the Effective Date (without regard to the CEO’s authority to appoint a designee pursuant to Section 3(a)), (iii) the Company changing the Executive’s place of work to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Company’s offices in Bellevue, Washington (except for remote work from Executive’s residence or an office relocation that reduces the distance from Executive’s principal residence) or (iv) the Company materially breaching its obligations under this Agreement; provided that written notice of the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s actual knowledge of the occurrence of any such event and the Executive must actually terminate employment within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Company’s cure period described above in order for the Executive’s resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder.
(e)Termination by the Company.

    6    			
	

(i)The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, for any reason, including for Cause, upon written notice to the Executive.  In the event of a termination by the Company for Cause, the Company Group shall have no further obligation to the Executive beyond the date employment is terminated other than for payment of the Accrued Obligations. 
(ii)The term “Cause” shall mean (i) the Executive’s (A) plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or indictment for, any felony or (B) conviction of a crime involving financial impropriety or moral turpitude that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”), financially, reputationally or otherwise, (ii) the Executive’s commitment of an act of fraud, embezzlement, material misappropriation or breach of fiduciary duty against any member of the Company Group, (iii) the Executive’s failure for any reason after ten (10) days written notice thereof to correct or cease any refusal or intentional or willful failure to comply with the lawful, reasonably appropriate requirement of any member of the Company Group, as communicated by the CEO or the Board, (iv) the Executive’s chronic absence from work, other than for medical reasons, or a breach of Section 3(d), unless approved by the Board in writing, (v) the Executive’s use of illegal drugs that has materially affected the performance of the Executive’s duties, (vi) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the Executive’s duties hereunder that has caused substantial injury to any member of the Company Group or (vii) the Executive’s breach of the Restrictive Covenants (as defined below) or any material breach of any proprietary or confidential information or assignment of inventions agreement between the Executive and any member of the Company Group (after taking into account any cure periods in connection therewith); unless, in each case, the event constituting Cause is curable, and has been cured by the Executive within ten (10) days of his receipt of written notice from the Company that an event constituting Cause has occurred and specifying the details of such event.  For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of any event described in subsections (i) and (ii) above shall be deemed to be incurable by the Executive. 
(f)Termination by Company without Cause or Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. 
(i)If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (including a termination upon the expiration of the Employment Term due to a non-extension of the Agreement by the Company or Parent, as provided in Section 2 hereof) other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), in each case, outside of the Change of Control Protection Period, the Company Group shall have no further obligation to the Executive beyond the date employment is terminated, other than the Company’s obligation to pay or provide the Executive with the following: 
(A)the Accrued Obligations; 
(B)subject to (x) the Executive delivering to the Company and not revoking a signed general release of claims in favor of the Company in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”) within the Release Delivery Period (as defined below) and (y) the Executive’s not having materially violated his restrictive covenant obligations set forth in 

    7    			
	

Section 7 hereof (the “Restrictive Covenants”), such violation determined pursuant to Section 5(h) hereof: 
(1)an amount equal to 1.0 times (“Severance Multiplier”) the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination (not taking into account any reduction constituting Good Reason), payable in equal installments over the twelve (12) month period following termination, in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company (the “Severance Payment Schedule”), which shall be paid beginning with the Company’s next regular payroll period on or following the Release Effective Date (as defined below) but shall be retroactive to first business day following the date of such termination, with any payments delayed pending the occurrence of the Release Effective Date to be payable in accordance with Section 5(f)(ii) hereof; provided, however, that to the extent a Change of Control that qualifies as a “change in ownership,” a “change in effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of Parent within the meaning of Code Section 409A (a “409A Change of Control”) occurs following the Executive’s Qualifying Termination and during the portion of time covering the Severance Payment Schedule, any theretofore unpaid portion of the Executive’s severance payments under this Section 5(f)(i)(B)(1) shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum no later than ten (10) business days following the later of the Release Effective Date and the consummation of such 409A Change of Control; 
(2)an amount equal to the Executive’s Target Bonus in respect of the year in which such termination occurs (not taking into account any reduction constituting Good Reason) multiplied by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall equal the greater of (x) the number of days elapsed between (and inclusive of) January 1 of the applicable year and the date of such termination or (y) 183 days, and (2) the denominator of which shall equal the total number of days in such year, such pro rata Target Bonus to be payable over the Severance Payment Schedule at the same time that continued Base Salary is paid to the Executive in accordance with Sections 5(f)(i)(B)(1) and 5(f)(ii) hereof; provided, however, that to the extent a 409A Change of Control occurs following the Executive’s Qualifying Termination and during the portion of time covering the Severance Payment Schedule, any theretofore unpaid portion of the Executive’s pro rata Target Bonus under this Section 5(f)(i)(B)(2) shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum no later than ten (10) business days following the later of the Release Effective Date and the consummation of such 409A Change of Control; 
(3)the Vesting Credit, as provided in Section 4(d)(iii)(B) above; and
(4)subject to (1) the Executive’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), and (2) the Executive’s continued co-payment of premiums at the same level and cost to the Executive as if the Executive were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), Company contributions to the premium cost of the Executive’s coverage and that of his eligible dependents under the Company’s group health plan in which the Executive participates at the rate it contributed to the Executive’s premium cost of coverage on the date of termination, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such termination (the “Benefits Continuation Period”) or, if earlier, until the date the Executive obtains other employment that offers group 

    8    			
	

health benefits or is otherwise no longer eligible for COBRA coverage; provided, further, that the Company may modify the continuation coverage contemplated by this Section 5(f)(i)(B)(4) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes on the Company for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and/or the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable). 
(ii)The Release shall be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty (60) days following the Executive’s termination (the “Release Delivery Period”).  All payments and benefits delayed pending delivery of the Release (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum following the date on which the Release becomes effective and no longer subject to revocation (the “Release Effective Date”), and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Section 5(f) following the Release Effective Date shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein; provided that if the Release Delivery Period begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, payments shall not begin until the beginning of the second taxable year. 
(g)Change of Control Qualifying Termination.  This Section 5(g) shall apply if the Executive’s Qualifying Termination (including a termination upon the expiration of the Employment Term due to a non-extension of the Agreement by the Company or Parent, as provided in Section 2 hereof) occurs (i) during the three (3)-month period immediately preceding, or (ii) the twelve (12)-month period immediately following, a Change of Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) (such period of time, the “Change of Control Protection Period”).  In the event of any such Qualifying Termination during the Change of Control Protection Period, the Executive shall receive (i) the payments and benefits set forth in Section 5(f) (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein), except that (A) the Severance Multiplier set forth in Section 5(f)(i)(B)(1) shall be 1.5 rather than 1.0, (B) the Severance Payment Schedule shall be payable for a period of eighteen (18) months, rather than twelve (12) months, and (C) the Benefits Continuation Period shall be for a period of eighteen (18) months, rather than twelve (12) months; provided, that if the Change of Control is a 409A Change of Control, any theretofore unpaid portion of the severance amount set forth in Section 5(f)(i)(B)(1) and Section 5(f)(i)(B)(2) shall be payable in a single lump sum no later than ten (10) days following the later of the Release Effective Date and the consummation of such 409A Change of Control and (ii) the Change of Control Vesting Credit. 
(h)Compliance with Restrictive Covenants.  If the Board determines in good faith that the Executive has materially violated any of the Restrictive Covenants, any rights of the Executive to receive severance pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease, and the Company shall be entitled to demand that any severance previously paid to the Executive shall be immediately payable by him to the Company; provided, that if the Executive challenges such determination by written notice to the Company, the Company’s recoupment of the portion of severance previously paid shall be subject to a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final, non-appealable, verdict, that the Executive has materially violated any of the Restricted Covenants.  If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in a final, non-appealable, verdict, that the Executive has not materially violated any of the Restricted 

    9    			
	

Covenants, then the full amount of the severance held back pursuant to this Section 5(h) shall be immediately payable by the Company to the Executive and the recoupment of the portion of severance previously paid shall not apply.  For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph will not diminish any remedies that the Company may have, including the right of the Company to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive relief.
(i)Survival of Certain Provisions.  Notwithstanding the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, provisions of this Agreement (including Section 7 hereof) shall survive any termination of this Agreement as so provided herein.  
(j)Resignation of All Other Positions. Upon termination of Executive's employment hereunder for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have immediately resigned from all positions that the Executive holds as an officer, manager or member of the board of any member of the Company Group.
(k)Section 280G Matters.  In the event that any payments, accelerated vesting or other benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Parachute Payments”), the Parachute Payments shall be reduced so that the maximum amount of the Parachute Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount that would cause the Parachute Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”); provided that the Parachute Payments shall only be reduced to the extent the after-tax value of amounts received by Executive after application of the above reduction would exceed the after-tax value of the amounts received without application of such reduction, after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local taxes and the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting Parachute Payments is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order, and in all events such reduction shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code:  (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity or equity-linked awards; (iii) reduction of employee benefits. Payments, accelerated vesting or benefits shall be reduced or cancelled (as applicable), such reduction or cancellation shall occur in reverse chronological order with the payments to be paid furthest in the future being reduced first and with acceleration of vesting being cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Executive may not elect the order in which the reduction in Executive’s Parachute Payments will occur, and no such reduction or elimination shall apply, to the extent that such election accelerates or defers the timing of a payment or benefit in a manner that causes the payment or benefit to be subject to the additional tax pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Any determinations and calculations required under this Section 5(k) shall be made by an independent public accounting firm engaged by the Company.  The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Executive and the Company no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Parachute Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by Executive or the Company) or such other time as requested by Executive or the Company.  Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Executive and the Company.

6.Successors.
(a)Company’s Successors. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of his rights, duties or obligations hereunder.  Parent or the Company, as applicable, may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate thereof, or to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or business (by merger or otherwise) of Parent or the Company or any such Affiliate, so long as such person, entity or Affiliate assumes the obligations hereunder of Parent or the Company, as applicable.
(b)Executive’s Successors. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. Upon the Executive’s death, all amounts to which he is entitled hereunder, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.
7.Restrictive Covenants.
(a)Confidential Information.  During the course of the Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group (including any predecessors), the Executive will have access to Confidential Information.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all data, information, ideas, concepts, discoveries, trade secrets, inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), innovations, improvements, know-how, developments, techniques, methods, processes, treatments, drawings, sketches, specifications, designs, plans, patterns, models, plans and strategies, and all other confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets in any form or medium (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form or medium) whether now or hereafter existing, relating to or arising from the past, current or potential business, activities and/or operations of the Company Group, including, without limitation, any such information relating to or concerning finances, sales, marketing, advertising, transition, promotions, pricing, personnel, customers, suppliers, vendors, partners and/or competitors. The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of the Executive’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company Group, either during the period of the Executive’s employment or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information or other confidential or proprietary information received from third parties subject to a duty on the Company Group’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and to use such information only for specified limited purposes, in each case, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment with any member of the Company Group (or any predecessor). The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to the Executive; (ii) becomes generally known to the public subsequent to disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of the Executive or any representative of the Executive; or (iii) the Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that, unless precluded by law, the Executive provides the Company Group with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company Group at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). Unless this Agreement is otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, rule or regulation, the terms and 

    11    			
	

conditions of this Agreement shall remain strictly confidential, and the Executive hereby agrees not to disclose the terms and conditions hereof to any person or entity, other than immediate family members, legal advisors or personal tax or financial advisors, prospective future employers solely for the purpose of disclosing the Executive’s taxable income and limitations on the Executive’s conduct imposed by the provisions of this Section 7 who, in each case, agree to keep such information confidential.
(b)Non-Competition. The Executive covenants during the Executive’s employment or other service relationship with any member of the Company Group, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, engage in or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, other than ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the equity of a publicly-traded company, or permit his name to be used in connection with, any business anywhere in the world which is engaged, either directly or indirectly, in (A) the Business (as defined below) or any other business being conducted by any member of the Company Group or (B) any other business, product or service of the Company Group that is in the process of being formed or is the subject of a then current strategic plan or reflected in the then current annual budget or under active discussion by the Board and with respect to which the Executive is actively engaged or has learned or received confidential information, in the case of (A) or (B), as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company (the “Restricted Business”).  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Business is conducted worldwide and that more narrow geographical limitations of any nature on this non-competition covenant (and the covenant set forth in Section 7(c)) are therefore not appropriate.  For purposes of this Section 7, “Business” means the development and/or implementation of advertising-related technologies, strategies, solutions and/or services to facilitate advertising transactions involving potential purchasers of insurance, travel or financial, education or home services, media companies and/or service providers, including, but not limited to, the operation of “owned and operated” lead sourcing sites, publisher-side demand management and/or optimization platforms, demand-side platforms, and/or the MediaAlpha exchange, on both an open and closed market basis in connection with such advertising-related technologies, strategies, solutions and/or services.
(c)Non-Hire; Non-Solicitation.  The Executive covenants that, until the second anniversary of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment or other service relationship with any member of the Company Group, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) hire any Person who then is or, within the previous six (6) months was, an employee, contractor, service provider or consultant of any member of the Company Group, solicit the employment or engagement of services of any such Person, or persuade, induce or attempt to persuade or induce any such Person to leave his, her or its employment or to refrain from providing services to any member of the Company Group, or (B) solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, or cause or authorize any other Person to solicit or induce any Person to cease, diminish or not commence doing business with any member of the Company Group.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, general advertisements or solicitations not specifically targeting, and not made with the intent to target, employees, contractors, service providers or consultants of the Company Group will not be deemed a violation of this Section 7(c).

    12    			
	

(d)Permitted Disclosures.  Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or restrict the Executive from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights (including pursuant to Rule 21F under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), and this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner.  In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).  18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.” Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.  
(e)Reasonableness of Restrictions.
(i)The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable restraints upon the Executive and further acknowledges any violation of the terms of the covenants contained in this paragraph could have a substantial detrimental effect on the Company Group.  The Executive has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions imposed upon him and the rights and remedies conferred upon the Company under the provisions of this Section 7 and hereby acknowledges and agrees that the same are reasonable in time and territory, are designed to eliminate competition which would otherwise be unfair to the Company Group, do not stifle the Executive’s inherent skill and experience, would not operate as a bar to the Executive’s sole means of support, and are fully required to protect the legitimate interest of the Company Group and do not confer a benefit upon the Company Group disproportionate to the detriment of the Executive. 
(ii)The Executive agrees that any damages resulting from any violation by the Executive of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7 will be impossible to ascertain and for that reason agrees that the Company (or other applicable member of the Company Group) shall be entitled to an injunction without the necessity of posting bond, from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any violation of any or all of said covenants, either directly or indirectly, and such right to injunction shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company (or other applicable member of the Company Group) may have.
(iii)If any portion of the covenants contained in this Section 7 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, the covenants herein shall be considered divisible both as to time and as to geographical area, and each month of the period shall be deemed to be a separate period of time.  In the event any court determines the specified time period or geographic area to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, a lesser time period or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable, nonarbitrary or not against public policy may be enforced against the Executive.

    13    			
	

(iv)The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against any member of the Company Group, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 7, but shall be litigated separately.
8.Other Agreements.
(a)Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement.  As a condition to Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall enter into the Company’s standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement.
(b)Indemnification; Indemnification Agreement.  During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive shall be indemnified to the fullest extent under the organizational documents of the Company Group in respect of the Executive’s services as a director, manager and/or officer of the Company Group.  Parent and the Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with Executive in substantially the form of indemnification agreement entered into by the Company with its directors and executive officers (the “Indemnification Agreement”), and to the extent the Company enters into an indemnification agreement with any other Non-Founder Executive that provides benefits or protections superior to the benefits on Executive’s Indemnification Agreement, the Company shall, upon Executive’s written request, amend Executive’s Indemnification Agreement to add such requested additional protection. During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Company Group or any successor to a member of the Company Group will also provide or cause the Executive to be provided with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to the other directors, officers and similarly situated officers of the Company.  This Section 8(b) will survive the termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company.
9.Miscellaneous.
(a)Modification; Governing Law.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified unless such modification is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive, the Company and Parent.  No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by the other parties hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other parties shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws principles.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF OR HIMSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE MEANING, EFFECT, PERFORMANCE OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY OR SERVICES RENDERED HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT OR HE MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY 

    14    			
	

OBJECTION THAT IT OR HE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.  THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THOSE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE, OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(b)Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given to the other party in person, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, by reputable overnight courier, overnight delivery requested, or by electronic mail addressed as follows:
If to the Executive:

At the address last on the records of the Company 

If to the Company or Parent:
MediaAlpha, Inc.
700 S. Flower St., Suite 640
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Attn: General Counsel
Email: legal@mediaalpha.com
    
or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notice and communications shall be effective when delivered in person by electronic mail with confirmation of receipt, three (3) business days after being sent by mail, or the next business day after being sent by overnight courier.
(c)Withholding.  The Company (or other applicable member of the Company Group) shall be entitled to deduct and/or withhold, as the case may be, from the compensation amounts payable under this Agreement, all amounts required to be deducted or withheld under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or in connection with any Company Group employee benefit plan in which the Executive participates and which mandates a contribution, assessment or co-payment by the participants therein.
(d)Clawback.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any incentive-based compensation paid to Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement will be subject to such deductions and clawback but only to the extent required by such law, government regulation, or stock 

    15    			
	

exchange listing requirement (or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement to the extent generally applicable to all of the Company’s executive officers). With respect to any potential clawback or recovery effected or subject to a determination by the Board, the Board will make its determination for clawback or recovery in good faith, upon advice of counsel, and in accordance with any applicable law or regulation, and to the extent permitted by law, only after (i) providing Executive prior written notice of the deliberation of such potential clawback or recovery and (ii) providing Executive (and his counsel) an opportunity to present to the Board all relevant information related to such determination.
(e)Section 409A Compliance.  
(i)The Company and the Executive intend that the benefits and payments described in this Agreement shall comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”).  Neither the Company nor any other member of the Company Group shall in any event be obligated to indemnify the Executive for any taxes or interest that may be assessed by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code Section 409A.  If the Executive notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that the Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with the Executive, reform such provision to attempt to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A.  To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the Executive, the Company and Parent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.
(ii)To the extent required by Code Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination”, “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service”.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service”, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (B) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A.  Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 9(e)(ii) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be 

    16    			
	

paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum with interest at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day following the date of the “separation from service”, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
(iii)To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.
(iv)For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
(v)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
(f)Return of Company Property.  Executive understands that anything that Executive created or worked on while working for the Company (except for inventions created by Executive entirely on his own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information, that neither (i) related at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, nor (ii) result from any work performed by Executive for the Company (an “Approved Matter”)) belongs solely to the Company and that Executive cannot remove, retain, or use such information without the Company’s express written permission. Accordingly, upon separation from employment with the Company or upon the Company’s request at any other time, Executive will immediately deliver to the Company, and will not keep in Executive’s possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else, any and all Company property, including, but not limited to, Company proprietary information, all Company equipment including all Company electronic media equipment, all tangible embodiments of intellectual property, all electronically stored information and passwords to access such property, Company credit cards, records, data, notes, notebooks, reports, files, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, photographs, charts, any other documents and property, and reproductions of any of the foregoing items.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive understands that Executive is allowed to keep a copy of the Company’s employee handbook and personnel records relating to Executive’s employment (or records related to an Approved Matter), and Executive can make and retain an electronic copy of his contacts list and calendar and any personal emails or information needed 

    17    			
	

for tax filing purposes or general government required purposes or any information related to any Approved Matter.
(g)Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company shall in any way limit or prohibit Executive from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“Government Agencies”).  In making any such disclosures or communications, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company Confidential Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Executive further understands that Protected Activity does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications. In addition, Executive hereby acknowledges that the Company has provided Executive with notice in compliance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 regarding immunity from liability for limited disclosures of trade secrets. The full text of the notice is attached in Exhibit B.
(h)Executive’s Cooperation.  During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive shall cooperate with any member of the Company Group in any internal investigation, any administrative, regulatory or judicial investigation or proceeding or any dispute with a third party as reasonably requested by Parent or the Company (including, without limitation, the Executive being available to Parent or the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Parent’s or the Company’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Parent or the Company all pertinent information and turning over to Parent or the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into the Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with the Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments).  In the event Parent or the Company requires the Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this paragraph, Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall reimburse the Executive solely for reasonable travel expenses (including lodging and meals) upon submission of receipts.  In addition, unless prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall pay the Executive an hourly fee, in an amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination (but without giving effect to any reduction that gave rise to Good Reason) by 2,080, for post-employment services rendered by the Executive in complying with this Section 9(h).
(i)Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(j)Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

    18    			
	

(k)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Employee Nondisclosure and Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement between Executive and the Company, the Indemnification Agreement between Executive and the Company, and those documents and agreements expressly referred to herein (including any equity award agreements) sets forth the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and, effective as of the Effective Date, fully supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by the parties hereto related in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof.  The Executive acknowledges that no understandings, agreements or representations have been made by the Company, its direct or indirect subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and that Executive has not relied on any other understandings, agreements or representations in connection with his decision to accept this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

RELEASE AGREEMENT

This RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by Patrick R. Thompson (“Employee”) in exchange for the consideration set forth on Appendix A.  Employee hereby agrees as follows:  

1.Release.

(a)Employee, on behalf of Employee and Employee’s heirs, spouse, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby voluntarily, unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely releases and discharges each member of the Company Group (defined below) and each of its predecessors, successors and assigns, and each of their respective past, present and future employees, officers, directors, agents, owners, partners, members, equity holders, shareholders, representatives, attorneys, insurers and benefit plans (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, controversies, actions, crossclaims, counterclaims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, any other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, losses or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity and any other liabilities, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected of any nature whatsoever (hereinafter, “Claims”) that Employee has or may have against the Released Parties from the beginning of time through the date upon which Employee signs this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those Claims: (i) arising from or in any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with any of the Released Parties; (ii) arising from or in any way related to any agreement with any of the Released Parties, including under that certain Employment Agreement to which Employee is a party and pursuant to which this Agreement is being executed and delivered (the “Employment Agreement”); and/or (iii) arising from or in any way related to awards, policies, plans, programs or practices of any of the Released Parties that may apply to Employee or in which Employee may participate, in each case, including, but not limited to, (x) any Claims for an alleged violation of any federal, state or local laws or regulations, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, California Civil Code and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; (y) any Claims for negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, fraud or any other unlawful behavior; and (z) any Claims for wages, commissions, incentive pay, vacation, paid time off, expense reimbursements, severance pay and benefits, retention pay, benefits, notice pay, punitive damages, liquidated damages, penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs and/or expenses.  As used herein, “Company Group” means, collectively, QuoteLab, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and MediaAlpha, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries.  

(b)Employee represents that Employee has not made assignment or transfer of any right or Claim covered by this Agreement and Employee represents that Employee is not aware of any such right or Claim.  Employee further affirms that he has not filed or caused to be filed, and presently is not a party to, any Claim, complaint or 
A-1

action against any of the Released Parties in any forum or form and that he knows of no facts which may lead to any Claim, complaint or action being filed against any of the Released Parties in any forum by Employee or by any agency, group, or class of persons.  Employee further affirms that he has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases and has been provided and/or has not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.  If any agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any such Claim, complaint or action against any of the Released Parties on behalf of Employee, Employee will request such agency or court to withdraw the matter.

(c)Employee understands that Employee may later discover claims or facts that may be different than, or in addition to, those which Employee now knows or believes to exist with regards to the subject matter of this Agreement, and which, if known at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected this Agreement or Employee’s decision to enter into it.  Employee hereby waives any right or claim that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts, and Employee understands the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and hereby expressly waives any and all rights, benefits and protections of the statute, which provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” 

(d)This Agreement is not intended to bar any rights or Claims by Employee (i) that may not be waived by private agreement under applicable law, such as rights or Claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance benefits, (ii) with respect to his rights to “Accrued Obligations” (as defined under the Employment Agreement) and the payments and benefits set forth on Appendix A hereto, (iii) under the Company’s 401(k) plan (if any), (iv) in Employee’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company; or (v) with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or indemnification rights (if any).

(e)Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrict Employee’s right to file a charge with, or participate in a charge by, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing; provided, however, that Employee hereby waives the right to recover any monetary damages or other relief against any Released Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Employee from receiving any monetary award to which Employee becomes entitled pursuant to Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

A-2

2.Consultation/Voluntary Agreement.  Employee acknowledges that the Company has advised Employee to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.  Employee has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement.  Employee is entering into this Agreement, knowingly, freely and voluntarily in exchange for good and valuable consideration to which Employee would not be entitled in the absence of executing and not revoking this Agreement.

3.Review and Revocation Period. 

(a)Employee has been given at least twenty-one (21) calendar days to consider the terms of this Agreement, although Employee may sign it sooner, so long as it is after Employee’s last day of employment with the Company. 

(b)Employee will have seven (7) calendar days from the date on which such Employee signs this Agreement to revoke Employee’s consent to this Agreement.  Such revocation must be in writing and must be e-mailed to the Company’s General Counsel.  Notice of such revocation must be received within the seven (7) calendar days referenced above.

(c)In the event of such revocation by Employee, this Agreement shall be null and void in its entirety and Employee shall not have any rights to the consideration set forth on Appendix A hereto.  Provided that Employee does not revoke this Agreement within the time period set forth above, this Agreement shall become effective on the eighth (8th) calendar day after the date upon which Employee signs it. 

4.Permitted Disclosures.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict either party or their respective attorneys from:  (a) making any disclosure of relevant and necessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (b) participating, cooperating or testifying in any action, investigation or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (c) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards.  In addition, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Company or Employee from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from:  (i) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (ii) providing confidential information to the SEC to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act; (iii) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company; or (iv) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

5.Nondisparagement.  Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, disparage any member of the Company Group or any of its employees, officers, directors, partners, 
A-3

members, equity holders, shareholders or other owners, or any of its or their businesses, products, operations or practices.  The Company shall not, and shall instruct its directors and executive officers (and those of its subsidiaries or affiliates) not to, directly or indirectly, disparage the Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the making of truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

6.Return of Property.  Employee represents that Employee has returned to the Company all of the Company’s property, including, but not limited to, all computer equipment, Company cars, property passes, keys, credit cards, business cards, identification passes, documents, business information market studies, financial data, memoranda and/or confidential, proprietary or nonpublic information. 

7.Savings Clause.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be enforceable as closely as possible to its original intent, which is to provide the Released Parties with a full release of all legally releasable claims through the date upon which Employee signs this Agreement.

through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

 

(c)           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 a certificate of a 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 the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and
date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

(d)           [Reserved].

 

(e)           The
ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Register.

 

(f)            Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of 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, omitted 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.

 

(g)           If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of such series entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before
or after such record date, but only the Holders of such series at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders
for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of such series have authorized or
agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent
by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of
the requisite amount of Outstanding Securities of such series 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), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite amount of Outstanding Securities on the
date such action is taken. 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.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

“Expiration Date” means, with
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the date designated by the Company; provided, that the Company may,
from time to time, change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day, but no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Trustee, and to each Holder of Securities of the applicable series 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
pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th 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 180th day after the applicable record date.

 

(h)           Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the Outstanding 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 Outstanding Principal Amount.

 

(i)            The
Company and the Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders.

 

Section 1.5.            Notices, etc.,
to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(1)            the
Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing
to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Capital Markets Fiduciary Services, or

 

(2)            the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at Westpac Banking Corporation, Level 2, 275 Kent Street,
Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia, Attention: Structured Funding and Capital, 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 to the Holders thereof shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein or in the terms of such Securities expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Register, within the time prescribed for the giving of
such notice.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

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 of Registered Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner
herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such
notice.

 

If by reason of the suspension of regular mail
service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice as provided above, then such notification as shall
be made with the approval of the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) shall constitute a sufficient notification for
every purpose hereunder

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice
may be in an official language of the country of publication.

 

In any case where the Company mails a notice to
Holders, a copy must be sent to the Trustee and in any case where the Trustee mails a notice to Holders, copies must be sent to the Company.

 

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 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.            Headings
and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction hereof.

 

Section 1.8.            Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed
or not.

 

Any act or proceeding that is required or permitted
by any provision of this Indenture and that is authorized or required to be done or performed by any board, committee or officer of the
Company shall and may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like board, committee or officer of any Person that shall
at the time be the successor or assign of the Company.

 

Section 1.9.            Separability.
In case any provision of this Indenture or 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.

Section 1.10.          Benefits
of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, the Senior Creditors, any Agent and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

Law.

 

(1)           This
Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard
to conflict of law principles; except for Articles IV, V and VI and any provisions in this Indenture and the Securities which relate to,
or define terms used in, such Articles, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New South
Wales, Commonwealth of Australia. This Indenture is subject to the Trust Indenture Act and if any provision hereof limits, qualifies or
conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required by the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture,
the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that
may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified, or to be excluded, as
the case may be, whether or not such provision of this Indenture refers expressly to such provision of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(2)           ALL
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE REGISTRAR, THE PAYING AGENT OR ANY OTHER AGENT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS INDENTURE, AND ANY SECURITY MAY BE BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, THE
BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS INDENTURE, EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE REGISTRAR, THE PAYING AGENT
AND ANY OTHER AGENT, (IN SUCH CAPACITIES) ACCEPT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

 

(3)           The
Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such suit, action or proceeding and any objection to such suit, action or proceeding whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile.

 

(4)           A
final judgment (that is a judgment obtained after exhaustion of all appeals and expiration of all time to appeal) in any such suit, action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.

Section 1.12.          Legal
Holidays. Unless otherwise provided with respect to any Security or Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, and subject to Section 6.1(b),
in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity or other payment date of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, payment of
principal or interest or other payments need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on such date; provided that no interest shall accrue on
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity or other
payment date, as the case may be.

 

In any case where any notice to Holders is required
to be given by a certain date and such date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or
the Securities) such notice need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date such notice was originally required to be made.

 

Section 1.13.          No
Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, agent, member, manager, trustee or stockholder, as
such, of the Company or any successor Person shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any successor Person, either
directly or through the Company or any successor Person, under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of or by reason of such obligations or their creation, whether by virtue of any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision
or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. By accepting a Security, each Holder agrees
to the provisions of this Section 1.13 and waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release shall be part of the consideration
for the issue of the Securities.

 

Section 1.14.          Consent

of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon said agent, together with written notice of
said service to the Company, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company, in any such suit or proceeding;
provided, that a Security may specify additional jurisdictions as to which the Company may consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
its courts with respect to such Security. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of
any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of said agent or a successor

CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
OF THIS TRANSACTION. The scope of this waiver is intended to encompass any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate
to the subject matter of this transaction including without limitation contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other
common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship,
that such party has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Indenture, and that such party will continue to rely on the waiver
in its related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel,
and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE,
MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS INDENTURE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE. In the event of litigation,
this Indenture may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

 

Section 1.16.          Counterparts.
This Indenture and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or thereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but
all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Indenture shall become effective upon the execution
of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile
or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu
of the Amended Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their
original signatures for all purposes.

Section 1.18.          Electronic
Communications. The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”)
given pursuant to the Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means (as defined below); provided, however, that, unless previously provided,
the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized
Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the
Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using
Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions
shall be deemed controlling.  The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender
of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer
listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer.  The Company shall be responsible
for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers
are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication
keys upon receipt by the Company.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent
with a subsequent written instruction, except as may result from its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  The
Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including
without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions (unless the Trustee has acted on such unauthorized Instructions
with gross negligence, in bad faith or with willful misconduct), and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that
it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and
that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the
security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable
degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning
of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

 

"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications
methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication
keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services
hereunder.

 

Section 1.19.          OFAC.
None of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control
of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”); and the Company will not use the proceeds of the offering of the Securities
in a manner that would result in a violation by the Company of the U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

Section 2.3.            Securities
in Global Form. If Securities of or within a series are issuable in whole or in part in global form, any such Security may provide
that it shall represent the aggregate or specified amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide
that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased to reflect exchanges.
Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights
of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby, shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified
therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3
and, if applicable, Section 3.4, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any security in permanent global form in the manner and
upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. Any instructions by the Company
with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.2
hereof and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.3
shall apply to any Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee
the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the Outstanding Principal Amount of Securities represented thereby, together
with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.3.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1
and 3.7, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, payment of principal of and interest on any Security in permanent
global form shall be made to the registered Holder thereof.

 

Section 2.4.            Form of

or required by the Depositary, any Security of such series in global form authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY IS IN GLOBAL FORM WITHIN THE MEANING OF
THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITARY. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT

OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. EVERY SECURITY AUTHENTICATED
AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR, OR IN LIEU OF, THIS SECURITY WILL BE IN GLOBAL FORM, SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING.

terms which may be related to warrants issued by the Company in connection with, or for the purchase of, Securities of such series, including
whether and under what circumstances the Securities of any series may be used toward the exercise price of any such warrants;

 

(22)          the
designation of the initial Exchange Rate Agent, if any;

 

(23)          if
the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or in part in global form, (i) the Depositary for such global Securities,
(ii) the form of any legend in addition to or in lieu of that in Section 2.4 which shall be borne by such global Securities,
(iii) whether beneficial owners of interests in any Securities of the series in global form may exchange such interests for
certificated Securities of such series and of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination, and (iv) if other than as
provided in Section 3.5, the circumstances under which any such exchange may occur;

 

(24)          if
the Securities of the series will be governed by, and the extent to which such Securities will be governed by, any law other than the
laws of the state of New York and, with respect to Articles IV, V and VI, the laws of New South Wales, Commonwealth of Australia; and

 

(25)          any
other terms of the series, including any terms which may be required by or advisable under the laws or regulations of the United States
or the Prudential Standards or advisable (as determined by the Company) in connection with the marketing of Securities of the series.

 

    	 	30	 

     

    

 

(c)           The
terms applicable to the Securities of any one series need not be identical but may vary as may be provided (i) by a Board
Resolution, (ii) by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined
in the manner provided, in the related Officers’ Certificate or (iii) in an indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities
of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of
the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

 

(d)           If
any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of such Board
Resolution shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth, or providing the manner for determining, the terms of the Securities of such
series, and an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant thereto in connection with the issuance of any Securities of such series
shall be delivered to the Trustee prior to the authentication and delivery thereof.

 

Section 3.2.            Denominations.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, any Registered Securities of a series shall be issuable in denominations
of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

 

Section 3.3.            Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating. Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer. The signature
of such officer 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 be officers or to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or were not
officers or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

 

At any time and from time to time, the Company
may deliver Securities of any series 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; provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee
of oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee
as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities
of such series.

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

 

If the form or terms of the Securities of a series
have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, 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 (subject to Section 315(a) through (d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel substantially to the effect that,

 

(1)            if
the forms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, such forms have
been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(2)            if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, such terms have
been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions
of this Indenture, subject in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel,
and all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of the Securities have been complied with; and

 

(3)            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 legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and except further as may be limited
by or subject to certain exceptions and qualifications specified in such Opinion of Counsel, including in the case of any Securities denominated
in a Foreign Currency, (A) requirements that a claim with respect to any Securities denominated other than in Dollars (or
a foreign currency or foreign currency unit judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into Dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing
on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or (B) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments
in foreign currency or currency units or payments outside the United States.

 

Notwithstanding that such form or terms have been so established, the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate such Securities if, in the written opinion of counsel to the Trustee (which counsel
may be an employee of the Trustee) reasonably acceptable to the Company, the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities
denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such
Securities.

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1
and of the two preceding paragraphs, if all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary
to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs in connection with the authentication of each Security of such series if such
documents, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original
issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 

With respect to Securities of a series offered
in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof
and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant
to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.

 

If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1
that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in global form, then, unless otherwise provided with respect to such
Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the
Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Securities in global form that (i) shall represent
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of such series to be represented
by such Security or Securities in global form, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Security or
Securities in global form or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or
pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.4.

 

Unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 3.1,
each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.1 for a Registered Security in global form must, at the time of its designation
and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and any other applicable statute or regulation. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility to determine if the
Depositary is so registered.

 

Each Depositary shall enter into an agreement with
the Trustee governing the respective duties and rights of such Depositary and the Trustee with regard to Securities issued in global form.

 

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date
of its authentication.

 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefits under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of one of the authorized signatories
of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent. Such signature upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

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 3.9 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

Section 3.4.           Temporary
Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and, upon Company Order, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor and form 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 conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, all or a portion of such temporary
Securities may be in global form.

 

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global
form, each of which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the
Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After preparation of definitive Securities
of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender
of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company pursuant to Section 12.2 in a Place of Payment
for such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Outstanding Principal Amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.

 

    	 	34	 

     

    

 

Section 3.5.            Registration,
Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency
to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 12.2 in a Place of Payment or in such other place or medium as may be
specified pursuant to Section 3.1 a register (the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and the registration of transfers of Registered
Securities. The Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Trustee is hereby appointed “Registrar” for the purpose
of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 12.2 in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Outstanding Principal
Amount.

 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1,
at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a Registered Security in global form) may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount containing
identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Registered
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1
with respect to a series of Securities or as otherwise provided below in this Section 3.5, owners of beneficial interests in Securities
of such series represented by a Security issued in global form will not be entitled to have Securities of such series registered in their
names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities of such series in certificated form and will not be
considered the Holders or owners thereof for any purposes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form in the circumstances described below, a Security in global form
representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred or exchanged except as a whole by the Depositary for
such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary
or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

 

    	 	35	 

     

    

 

 

If at any time the Depositary for the Securities
of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any
time the Depositary for the Securities of such series notifies the Company that it shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.3,
the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated
by Section 3.1, if a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after
the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(24)
shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series of like tenor, shall authenticate and
deliver, Securities of such series of like tenor in certificated form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate Outstanding Principal
Amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Security or Securities of such series of like tenor in global form in exchange
for such Security or Securities in global form.

 

The Company may at any time in its sole discretion
determine that Securities of a series issued in global form shall no longer be represented by such a Security or Securities in global
form. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
certificated Securities of such series of like tenor, shall authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series of like tenor in certificated
form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Security
or Securities of such series of like tenor in global form in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form.

 

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1
with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series may surrender a Security in global form of such series in exchange
in whole or in part for Securities of such series in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

 

(1)            to
each Person specified by such Depositary a new certificated Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor, of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial
interest in the Security in global form; and

 

(2)            to
such Depositary a new Security in global form of like tenor in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the Outstanding
Principal Amount of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of certificated Securities
delivered to Holders thereof.

 

    	 	36	 

     

    

 

Upon the exchange of a Security in global form
for Securities in certificated form, such Security in global form shall be canceled by the Trustee. Securities in certificated form issued
in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations
as the Depositary for such Security in global form shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered.

 

Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.

 

All Securities issued upon any registration of
transfer or upon any 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 registration of transfer or exchange.

 

Every Registered Security presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1,
no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or for any 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 registration or transfer
or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4 not involving any transfer.

 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1,
the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities for a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before any selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and of the series of which such Security
is a part and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given
to all Holders of Securities of like tenor and of such series to be redeemed or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Registered Security so selected for redemption.

 

The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5
relating to registration, transfer and exchange may be modified, supplemented or superseded with respect to any series of Securities by
a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto.

 

    	 	37	 

     

    

 

Section 3.6.            Replacement
Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may
be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver a replacement Registered Security, if such surrendered Security was a Registered Security, of the same series and date of
maturity, if the Trustee’s requirements are met.

 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and
the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Registered Security of the
same series and Outstanding Principal Amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

In case 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.

 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this
Section, 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, its agents and counsel) connected therewith.

 

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant
to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the 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 of that series duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 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.            Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a)  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, and subject to the
solvency condition set forth in Section 4.3, interest, if any, on any Registered Security which 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 at the office or agency maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 12.2; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest on any series of Registered
Securities that bear interest may be paid (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear
on the Register of Holders of Securities of such series or (ii) to a Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate Outstanding
Principal Amount of Securities by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Register of
Holders of Securities of such series.

 

    	 	38	 

     

    

 

(b)           Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is
not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

 

(1)           The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities of such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate
amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause (1) provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 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 such Registered Securities
of such series at his address as it appears in the Register, not less than 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 such Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

    	 	39	 

     

    

 

(2)           The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a specified date in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (2), such manner
of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 

(c)            Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration
of 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,
which were carried by such other Security.

 

Section 3.8.            Persons
Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of any Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 3.7) interest and any other payments on such
Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Security in global form, nothing herein shall prevent
the Company or the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Security in global form or impair, as between
such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Security in global form, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Security in global form.

 

Section 3.9.            Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and any Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for replacement, for registration of transfer, or for exchange or payment. The Trustee shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for replacement, for registration of transfer, or for exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation
and may destroy canceled Securities and, if so destroyed, shall issue a certificate of destruction to the Company. The Company may not
issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

    	 	40	 

     

    

 

Section 3.10.          Computation
of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

Section 3.11.          Currency
and Manner of Payment in Respect of Securities. (a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1,
with respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders
of which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, payment of the principal of, interest, if any, and other
amounts, if any, on any Registered Security of such series will be made in the currency or currencies or currency unit or units in which
such Registered Security is payable. The provisions of this Section 3.11, including without limitation any defined terms specified
herein, may be modified or superseded in whole or in part pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities.

 

(b)           It
may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1, with respect to Registered Securities of any series, that Holders shall have the option,
subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of or interest, if any, on such Registered Securities
in any of the currencies or currency units which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee (or the applicable Paying
Agent) a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section 3.1, not later than
the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments
in any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed
by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee (or any applicable Paying Agent) for such series of Registered Securities
(but any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date
to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date, and no such change of election may be made with respect to payments to
be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or with respect to which a notice
of redemption has been given by or on behalf of the Company). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered
any such election to the Trustee (or any applicable Paying Agent) not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date
will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency or currency unit as provided in Section 3.11(a).
The Trustee (or the applicable Paying Agent) shall notify the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable after the Election
Date of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election.

 

    	 	41	 

     

    

 

(c)           If
the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for with respect to any Registered Securities of a series pursuant
to Section 3.1, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any such Registered Securities, not
later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for such Registered Securities, the Exchange Rate Agent
will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying, in the currency or currencies or currency unit or units in which Registered Securities
of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of and interest, if any, on such Registered Securities to be
paid on such payment date, and specifying the amounts in such currency or currencies or currency unit or units so payable in respect of
such Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities denominated in any currency or currencies or currency unit
or units shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred
to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for with respect to any Registered Securities of a series pursuant to Section 3.1,
and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, on the second Business
Day preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable Paying Agent) an Exchange Rate Officers’
Certificate in respect of the Dollar, Foreign Currency or Currencies or other currency unit payments to be made on such payment date.
Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, the Dollar, Foreign Currency or Currencies or other currency unit amount receivable
by Holders of Registered Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above shall
be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the “Valuation
Date”) immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

 

(d)           If
a Foreign Currency Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency or any other currency unit in which any of the Securities
are denominated or payable otherwise than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then, unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.1, with respect to each date for the payment of principal of and interest, if any, on the applicable
Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency or such other currency unit occurring after the last date on which such Foreign
Currency or such other currency unit was used (the “Foreign Currency Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the currency
of payment for use on each such payment date (but such Foreign Currency or such other currency unit that was previously the currency of
payment shall, at the Company’s election, resume being the currency of payment on the first such payment date preceded by 15 Business
Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to the Dollar becoming such currency of payment no longer prevail). Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.1, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee or any applicable Paying Agent and
by the Trustee or any applicable Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case
of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a Foreign Currency
that is a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner
provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.

 

    	 	42	 

     

    

 

(e)           Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, if the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any currency or currency unit
shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currency unit or in other currencies as provided in paragraph (b) above, and
(i) a Foreign Currency Conversion Event occurs with respect to any such elected currency or currency unit, such Holder shall
receive payment in the currency or currency unit in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election and (ii) if
a Foreign Currency Conversion Event occurs with respect to the currency or currency unit in which payment would have been made in the
absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 3.11 (but,
subject to any contravening valid election pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the elected payment currency or currency unit, in the
case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above, or the payment currency or currency unit in the absence of such election,
in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, shall, at the Company’s election, resume being the currency
or currency unit of payment with respect to Holders who have so elected, but only with respect to payments on payment dates preceded by
15 Business Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to such currency or currency unit, in the case of the circumstances described
in clause (i) above, or the Dollar, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, becoming the currency or
currency unit, as applicable, of payment, no longer prevail).

 

(f)           The
 “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each
subsequent payment date by the Exchange Rate Agent by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate
on the Foreign Currency Conversion Date.

 

(g)           The
 “Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (h) below, shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency (as each
such term is defined in paragraph (h) below) into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation
Date with respect to each payment.

 

(h)           For
purposes of this Section 3.11, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

A “Component Currency”
shall mean any currency which, on the Foreign Currency Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit.

 

“Election Date” shall
mean the Regular Record Date for the applicable series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to Section 3.1 by which the
written election referred to in Section 3.11(b) may be made.

 

    	 	43	 

     

    

 

“Euro” means the lawful
currency of the member states of the European Union that have adopted or adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing
the European Community, as amended.

 

“Exchange Rate Agent,”
when used with respect to Securities of or within any series, shall mean, unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant
to Section 3.1, a New York Clearing House bank designated pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.12.

 

“Exchange Rate Officer’s
Certificate” shall mean a certificate setting forth (i) the applicable Market Exchange Rate or the applicable bid
quotation and (ii) the Dollar or Foreign Currency amounts of principal and interest, if any (on an aggregate basis and on
the basis of a Security having the lowest denomination Outstanding Principal Amount in the relevant currency or currency unit), payable
with respect to a Security of any series on the basis of such Market Exchange Rate or the applicable bid quotation, signed by any Authorized
Officer or by any other Officer.

 

“Foreign Currency”
shall mean any currency issued by the government or governments of one or more countries other than the United States or by any recognized
confederation or association of such governments and shall include the Euro.

 

“Foreign Currency Conversion
Event” shall mean the cessation of use of (i) a Foreign Currency both by the government of the country which issued
such currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other public institutions of or within the international banking
community or (ii) any currency unit for the purposes for which it was established.

 

    	 	44	 

     

    

 

“Market Exchange Rate”
shall mean, unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, as of any date of determination, (i) for
any conversion involving a currency unit on the one hand and Dollars or any Foreign Currency on the other, the exchange rate between the
relevant currency unit and Dollars or such Foreign Currency calculated by the method specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities
of the relevant series, (ii) for any conversion of Dollars into any Foreign Currency, the noon buying rate for such Foreign
Currency for cable transfers quoted in New York City as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for
any conversion of one Foreign Currency into Dollars or another Foreign Currency, the spot rate at noon local time in the relevant market
at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Dollars or Foreign Currency into which conversion is being made could be purchased
with the Foreign Currency from which conversion is being made from major banks located in New York City, London or any other principal
market for Dollars or such purchased Foreign Currency, in each case determined by the Exchange Rate Agent. Unless otherwise specified
with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, in the event of the unavailability of any of the exchange rates provided
for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Exchange Rate Agent shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability
on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more
major banks in New York City, London or other principal market for such currency or currency unit in question (which may include any such
bank acting as Trustee under this Indenture), or such other quotations as the Exchange Rate Agent shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise
specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit by reason of foreign
exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such currency or currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident
issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency unit would purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make payments
in respect of such securities.

 

A “Specified Amount”
of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which such Component Currency represented
in the relevant currency unit on the Foreign Currency Conversion Date. If after the Foreign Currency Conversion Date the official unit
of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided
or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Foreign Currency Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated
into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency
equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and
such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Foreign
Currency Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency
shall be replaced by specified amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which, at the Market Exchange Rate of such two or more
currencies on the date of such replacement, shall be equal to the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency and such amounts
shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Foreign Currency Conversion
Date of the relevant currency unit, a Foreign Currency Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of
 “Specified Amount”) occurs with respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable
Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency
Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Foreign Currency Conversion Date of such Component Currency.

 

    	 	45	 

     

    

 

All decisions and determinations of the Exchange
Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate
and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee (and any applicable Paying Agent) and all Holders of
Securities denominated or payable in the relevant currency, currencies or currency units. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give
written notice to the Company and the Trustee of any such decision or determination.

 

In the event that the Company determines in good
faith that a Foreign Currency Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company will promptly give written
notice thereof to the Trustee (or any applicable Paying Agent) and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and the Trustee (or such Paying Agent)
will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to the affected Holders) specifying the Foreign Currency
Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Foreign Currency Conversion Event has occurred with respect to any currency
unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Trustee (or any applicable
Paying Agent) and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and the Trustee (or such Paying Agent) will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner
provided in Section 1.6 to the affected Holders) specifying the Foreign Currency Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each
Component Currency on the Foreign Currency Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any subsequent change
in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company will similarly give written
notice to the Trustee (or any applicable Paying Agent) and to the Exchange Rate Agent.

 

The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities
shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent
and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company
or the Exchange Rate Agent.

 

Section 3.12.         Appointment
and Resignation of Exchange Rate Agent. (a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1, if and so long as the Securities
of any series (i) are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in
a currency or currency unit other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company
will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one Exchange Rate Agent. The Company will cause
the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 3.11
for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued currency or
currencies or currency unit or units into the applicable payment currency or currency unit for the payment of principal and interest,
if any, pursuant to Section 3.11.

 

    	 	46	 

     

    

 

(b)           No
resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the
Company and the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Exchange Rate Agent.

 

(c)           If
the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Exchange
Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange
Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 3.1, at any time there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular
series that are originally issued by the Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable in the same currency
or currencies or currency unit or units).

 

Section 3.13.          CUSIP
Numbers. The Company in issuing Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee
may use the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Securities,
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or exchange shall
not be affected by any defect or omission of such CUSIP numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in CUSIP numbers
known to an Officer of the Company.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

STATUS OF THE SECURITIES

 

Section 4.1.            Acknowledgements.
Each Holder of Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) by its purchase or holding of a
Security is taken to acknowledge that:

 

(a)            the
Company intends that the Securities constitute Tier 2 Capital and be able to absorb losses at the point of non-viability as described
in the Prudential Standards;

 

    	 	47	 

     

    

 

(b)           the
Company’s obligations in respect of the Securities are subordinated pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Indenture; and

 

(c)            the
Securities are subject to Conversion or Write-off pursuant to Articles V and VI. There are two methods of loss absorption:

 

(i)             Conversion,
subject to possible Write-off pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Indenture; or

 

(ii)            Write-off
without Conversion pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Indenture.

 

Unless an indenture supplemental hereto for the
Securities of any series specifies otherwise, the primary method of loss absorption will be Conversion, subject to possible Write-off
pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Indenture.

 

Section 4.2.            Status
and Subordination. (a) Holders of Securities do not have any right to prove in a Winding-Up in respect of Securities, except
pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Indenture;

 

(b)           Securities
constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and will rank for payment in a Winding-Up pursuant to Section 4.4
of this Indenture; and

 

(c)            Securities
will not constitute protected accounts or deposit liabilities of the Company in Australia for the purposes of the Australian Banking Act.

 

Section 4.3.            Solvency
Condition. Prior to a Winding-Up:

 

(a)            the
obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of Securities shall be conditional upon the Company
being Solvent at the time the payment or other amount owing becomes due; and

 

(b)           no
payment of principal or interest shall be made in respect of Securities except to the extent that the Company may make such payment and
still be Solvent immediately thereafter.

 

A certificate as to whether the Company is Solvent
signed by two authorized signatories of the Company or, if the Company is in Winding-Up, the Liquidator, shall, in the absence of fraud
or manifest or proven error, be conclusive evidence of the information contained in such certificate. In the absence of such a certificate,
a Holder of Securities shall be entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that the Company is, and will after any payment as
aforesaid, be Solvent.

 

    	 	48	 

     

    

 

Until Securities have been Converted or Written-off:

 

(i)             interest
will continue to accrue on any principal not paid as a consequence of the provisions of this Section 4.3 at the Interest Rate; and

 

(ii)            any
interest not paid to a Holder of Securities as a consequence of the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall remain due and payable and
shall accumulate with compounding.

 

Any amount not paid as a consequence of the provisions
of this Section 4.3: (x) shall remain a debt owing to the Holder of Securities by the Company until it is paid and shall be
payable on the first date on which the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.3 would allow payment of
such amount (whether or not such date is otherwise a date on which interest is payable or other date on which such amount becomes due);
and (y) shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

Section 4.4.           Winding-Up.
In a Winding-Up:

 

(a)            neither
the Trustee nor any Holder of Securities shall have any right or claim against the Company in respect of the principal of or interest
on Securities, to the extent any such Securities have been Converted or Written-off; and

 

(b)           the
rights and claims of the Trustee or any Holder of Securities against the Company to recover any principal or interest in respect of Securities
that have not been Converted or Written-off shall:

 

(i)             be
subordinate to, and rank junior in right of payment to, the obligations of the Company to Senior Creditors and all such obligations to
Senior Creditors shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be paid on account of any sums payable in respect of such
Securities;

 

(ii)            rank
equally with the obligations of the Company to the Holders of other Securities that have not been Converted or Written-off (or that have
been partially Converted or Written-off), and the obligations of the Company to holders of Equal Ranking Instruments; and

 

(iii)           rank
prior to, and senior in right of payment to, the obligations of the Company to holders of Ordinary Shares, and other Junior Ranking Capital
Instruments.

 

    	 	49	 

     

    

 

Unless and until Senior Creditors have been paid
in full, neither the Trustee nor any Holder of Securities that have not been Converted or Written-off (or that have been partially Converted
or Written-off) will be entitled to claim in the Winding-Up in competition with Senior Creditors so as to diminish any payment
which, but for that claim, Senior Creditors would have been entitled to receive.

 

In a Winding-Up, the Trustee and any Holder of
Securities that have not been Converted or Written-off (or that have been partially Converted or Written-off) will only
be entitled to prove for any sums payable in respect of the Securities as a liability which is subject to prior payment in full of Senior
Creditors. Holders of Securities waive in respect of any Security, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to prove in a Winding-Up
as a creditor ranking for payment in any other manner. The Trustee and any Holder of Securities will have no further or other claim on
the Company in a Winding-Up, other than the claim for the Outstanding Principal Amount and interest, as described above, and in the case
of the Trustee, its claims under Section 9.8 of this Indenture.

 

However, it is unlikely a Winding-Up will occur
without a Non-Viability Trigger Event having occurred first and the Securities being Converted or Written-off. In that event:

 

		·	if the Securities have Converted into Ordinary Shares, holders will rank equally with existing holders of Ordinary Shares; and

 

		·	if the Securities are Written-off, all rights in relation to the Securities will be terminated, and holders will not have their Outstanding
Principal Amount repaid or receive any outstanding interest or accrued interest, or have the right to have the Securities Converted into
Ordinary Shares. In such an event, a Holder’s investment in the Securities will lose all of its value and such Holder will not receive
any compensation.

 

Section 4.5.            No
Set-Off. Neither the Company nor the Trustee or any Holder of Securities is entitled to set-off any amounts due in respect of Securities
held by the Holder against any amount of any nature owed by the Company to such Holder or by such Holder to the Company.

 

Section 4.6.            Clawback.
Each Holder of Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) by its purchase or holding of a
Security is taken to have irrevocably acknowledged and agreed that it or the Trustee will pay or deliver to the Liquidator any payment
or asset, whether voluntary or in any other circumstances, received by such Holder or the Trustee from or on account of the Company (including
by way of credit, set-off or otherwise) or from any Liquidator (or any provisional or other liquidator, receiver, manager or statutory
manager of the Company) in violation of Section 4.2 or Article VIII of this Indenture.

 

    	 	50	 

     

    

 

Section 4.7.            Other
Provisions. Each Holder of Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) by its purchase
or holding of a Security is taken to have irrevocably acknowledged and agreed:

 

(a)            that
the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Indenture constitute a debt subordination for the purposes of section 563C of the Australian
Corporations Act;

 

(b)           without
limiting its rights existing otherwise than as a Holder of a Security, that it must not exercise its voting or other rights as an unsecured
creditor in the Winding-Up in any jurisdiction until after all Senior Creditors have been paid in full or otherwise to defeat, negate
or in any way challenge the enforceability of the subordination provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Indenture; and

 

(c)            that
the debt subordination effected by the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Indenture are not affected by any act or omission of
the Company or a Senior Creditor which might otherwise affect it at law or in equity.

 

No consent of any Senior Creditor shall be required
for any amendment of the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Indenture in relation to any Outstanding Securities.

 

ARTICLE V

 

NON-VIABILITY, CONVERSION AND WRITE-OFF

 

Section 5.1.            Non-Viability
Trigger Event. (a) If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, the Company must:

 

(i)             subject
to the limitations of Section 5.3 of this Indenture, Convert; or

 

(ii)            if
an indenture supplemental hereto for the Securities of any series specifies that the primary method of loss absorption will be Write-off
without Conversion pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Indenture, Write-off,

 

all Securities or, if paragraph (a) of the definition of “Non-Viability
Trigger Event” applies, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(b) of this Indenture, all or some Securities (or a percentage
of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security), such that the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Securities Converted
or Written-off, together with the outstanding principal amount of all other Relevant Securities converted, written-off or written-down
pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of this Indenture, is equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Relevant Securities
as is necessary to satisfy APRA that the Company will no longer be non-viable).

 

    	 	51	 

     

    

 

(b)           In
determining the Securities or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security which must be Converted or Written-off pursuant
to this Section 5.1, the Company will:

 

(i)             first,
convert, write-off or write-down an amount of the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Relevant Tier 1 Securities before Conversion
or Write-off of the Securities; and

 

(ii)            second,
if conversion, write-off or write-down of those Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy APRA that the Company would not
become non-viable, Convert or Write-off (in the case of the Securities) and convert, write-off or write-down (in the case of any other
Relevant Tier 2 Securities), on a pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the Company’s opinion, fair and reasonable,
the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security and outstanding principal amount of all other Relevant Tier 2 Securities (subject to
such adjustments as the Company may determine to take into account the effect on marketable parcels and the need to round to whole numbers
of Ordinary Shares, the authorized denominations of any Relevant Tier 2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect the conversion,
write-off or write-down immediately) and for the purpose of this Section 5.1(b)(ii) where the Specified Currency of the outstanding
principal amount of Relevant Tier 2 Securities is not Australian Dollars, the Company may for purposes of determining the outstanding
principal amount to be converted, written-off or written-down, convert the outstanding principal amount to Australian Dollars at such
rate of exchange determined in accordance with the terms of such Relevant Tier 2 Securities or, if the conversion provisions in such terms
do not specify a rate of exchange, at such rate of exchange as the Company in good faith considers reasonable,

 

but such determination will not impede the immediate Conversion or
Write-off of the relevant Securities or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security (as the case may be).

 

(c)           If
a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

 

(i)             the
Securities or the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security determined pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and (b) of
this Indenture shall be Converted or Written-off immediately upon the occurrence of the Non-Viability Trigger Event pursuant to Sections
5.2 and Article VI of this Indenture. The Conversion or Write-off will be irrevocable;

 

    	 	52	 

     

    

 

(ii)            the
Company is required to give notice to the Trustee and Holders of affected Securities pursuant to Sections 1.6 and 3.8 of this Indenture
and the ASX as soon as practicable that a Non-Viability Trigger Event has occurred and that Conversion or Write-off has occurred on the
Non-Viability Trigger Event Date;

 

(iii)           the
notice must specify (A) the date on which Conversion or Write-off occurred (the “Non-Viability Trigger Event Date”),
and the Securities which were or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security which was Converted or, if subject to
Section 5.3 of this Indenture, Written-off, and (B) details of the Relevant Securities converted, written-off or written-down
pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of this Indenture; and

 

(iv)          in
the case of Conversion, the notice must specify the details of the Conversion process, including any details which were taken into account
in relation to the effect on marketable parcels and whole numbers of Ordinary Shares, and the impact on any Securities outstanding.

 

The Company’s failure to undertake any steps
pursuant to Sections 5.1(c)(ii) to (iv) of this Indenture will not prevent, invalidate, delay or otherwise impede Conversion
or Write-off.

 

APRA will not approve partial conversion or
partial write-off in those exceptional circumstances where a public sector injection of capital is deemed necessary.

 

Section 5.2.           Automatic
Conversion or Write-off upon the Occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event has occurred and all
or some Securities are (or a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security is) required to be Converted or Written-off
pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Indenture, then:

 

(a)            Conversion
or Write-off of such Securities or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security will occur pursuant to Section 5.1
of this Indenture and, if applicable, Section 5.3 of this Indenture immediately upon the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date;

 

    	 	53	 

     

    

 

(b)           in
the case of Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 6.10 of this Indenture, each Holder of a Security that has been Converted
in whole or in part pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Indenture will be entitled to (i) the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares
in respect of such Securities or the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security held by such Holder so Converted
determined pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Indenture, and (ii) unless the Securities shall have been Converted or Written-off
in full, to Securities with an Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the aggregate of the remaining percentage of the Outstanding Principal
Amount of each Security held by such Holder, and the Company shall recognize the Holder as having been issued the Conversion Number of
Ordinary Shares in respect of such portion of Converted Securities for all purposes, in each case without the need for any further act
or step by the Company, the Holder or any other person (and the Company shall, as soon as possible thereafter and without delay on its
part, take any appropriate procedural steps to effect such Conversion, including updating the Ordinary Share register); and

 

(c)            a
Holder of Securities has no further right or claim in respect of such Securities or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of
each Security so Converted or Written-off (including to payments of interest or accrued but unpaid interest, and the repayment of Outstanding
Principal Amount), except such Holder’s entitlement, if any, to Securities which have not been required to be Converted or Written-off
or Securities representing the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Securities which have not been required to be Converted or Written-off
and, in the case of Conversion, subject to the provisions of Section 6.10 of this Indenture, to the Conversion Number of Ordinary
Shares issuable pursuant to Article VI.

 

Section 5.3.            No
Further Rights. If:

 

(a)            for
any reason, Conversion of a Security (or a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security) required to be Converted under
the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Indenture does not occur within five ASX Business Days after the Non-Viability Trigger Event
Date; or

 

(b)            an
indenture supplemental hereto for the Securities of any series specifies that the primary method of loss absorption will be Write-off
without Conversion in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Indenture,

 

then:

 

(c)            the
relevant rights and claims of Holders of Securities in relation to such Securities or the percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount
of such Securities to be Converted or Written-off (including to payments of interest or accrued but unpaid interest, and the repayment
of Outstanding Principal Amount and, in the case of Conversion, to be issued with the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares in respect
of such Securities or percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security), are immediately and irrevocably written-off and
terminated with effect on and from the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date (“Write-off”; “Written-off”
shall have a corresponding meaning); and

 

    	 	54	 

     

    

 

(d)           the
Outstanding Principal Amount of such Securities shall be reduced on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date by the Outstanding Principal
Amount of the Securities to be Converted or Written-off, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.1(a) and (b) of
this Indenture and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

Section 5.4.            Consent
to Receive Ordinary Shares and Other Acknowledgements. Subject to any Write-off required in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3
of this Indenture, each Holder of Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) by its purchase
or holding thereof shall be deemed to have irrevocably agreed that:

 

(a)            upon
Conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article V and Article VI of this Indenture, it consents to becoming a holder
of Ordinary Shares and agrees to be bound by the constitution of the Company;

 

(b)           unless
the provisions described in Section 6.10(b) below apply, it (or the Holder’s Nominee on its behalf) is obliged to accept
Ordinary Shares upon Conversion notwithstanding anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of the Securities, including::

 

(i)             any
change in the financial position of the Company since the issue of the Securities;

 

(ii)            any
disruption to the market or potential market for Ordinary Shares or capital markets generally; or

 

(iii)           any
breach by the Company of any obligation in connection with the Securities;

 

(c)

 

(i)             Conversion
is not subject to any conditions other than those expressly set forth in this Article V and Article VI of this Indenture;

 

(ii)            Conversion
must occur immediately on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date and Conversion may result in disruption or failures in trading or dealings
in the Securities;

 

(iii)           it
will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion (whether as a Holder of a Security or as a prospective holder of an Ordinary
Share); and

 

    	 	55	 

     

    

 

(iv)            notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6.9 of this Indenture, Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the time of Conversion
or at all;

 

(d)            where
the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Indenture apply, no other conditions or events will affect the operation of such provisions
and it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-off under such provisions; and

 

(e)            it
has no remedies on account of the failure of the Company to issue Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
of this Indenture other than, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Indenture, to seek specific performance of the Company’s
obligation to issue Ordinary Shares.

 

Section 5.5.            Issue
of Ordinary Shares of Successor Company. If the Company shall cease to be the ultimate parent company of the Group and the successor
company is an Approved Successor, the provisions of this Indenture may be amended in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.14
of this Indenture.

 

Section 5.6.            No
Conversion at the Option of the Holders. Holders of Securities do not have a right to request Conversion of their Securities at any
time.

 

Section 5.7.            Priority
of Early Conversion Obligation. A Conversion or Write-off required because of a Non-Viability Trigger Event shall take place on the
date, and in the manner set forth herein or in any indenture supplemental hereto, notwithstanding any redemption set forth herein or in
such indenture supplement.

 

Section 5.8.            No
Rights before Conversion. Before Conversion, a Security confers no rights on a Holder of Securities:

 

(a)            to
vote at, or receive notices of, any meeting of shareholders (referred to as “members” under the Company’s constitution)
of the Company;

 

(b)           to
subscribe for new securities or to participate in any bonus issues of securities of the Company; or

 

(c)            to
otherwise participate in the profits or property of the Company,

 

except as otherwise provided herein or in an indenture supplemental
hereto for the Securities of any series.

 

    	 	56	 

     

    

 

Section 5.9.           Trustee’s
Rights upon Conversion or Write-off .

 

(a)            By
its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global
form), to the extent permitted by law, waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee
in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, abstains from taking, or fails
to take, in any case in accordance with the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities other than for the Trustee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

 

(b)           Holders
of the Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in
global form) shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the same provisions specified herein to the same extent
as the Holders of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect
to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by and consent to the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the Conversion
and Write-off of the Securities.

 

(c)           The
Company’s obligation to indemnify and reimburse the Trustee under this Indenture shall survive Conversion and Write-off of the Securities.

 

(d)           Unless
otherwise required by APRA, the parties hereto hereby agree that they will not amend, change or modify the rights, immunities, indemnities
and protections of the Trustee relating to the Conversion and Write-off of the Securities without the Trustee’s written consent
and that any such amendment, change or modification will be made in an amendment or supplement to this Indenture.

 

(e)            By
its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global
form) acknowledges and agrees that, upon Conversion or Write-off of the Securities, (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take
any further directions from such Holder of the Securities (or holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) either under
the terms of the Securities or this Indenture unless secured or indemnified to its satisfaction by such Holder of the Securities (or holder
of beneficial interests in a Security in global form), (ii) it may not direct the Trustee to take any action whatsoever, including
without limitation, any challenge to the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities or request to call a meeting or take any other action
under the Indenture in connection with the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities unless secured or indemnified to its satisfaction
by such Holder of the Securities (or holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) and (iii) neither this Indenture
nor the Securities shall impose any duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities, any Securities remain outstanding, then the
Trustee’s duties under this Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the remaining Outstanding Securities which have not
been so Converted or Written-off.

ARTICLE VI

 

PROCEDURES FOR CONVERSION

 

Section 6.1.            Conversion.
On the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and Section 6.10 of this Indenture, the following
provisions will apply.

 

(a)            The
Company will allot and issue to each Holder of a Security the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares for each Security. The Conversion Number
is, subject always to the Conversion Number being no greater than the Maximum Conversion Number calculated according to the following
formula:

 

	Conversion Number for each Security	=	Outstanding Principal Amount of the Security (translated into Australian Dollars in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of Outstanding Principal Amount where the calculation date shall be the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date)
	P x VWAP

 

where:

 

Outstanding
Principal Amount has the meaning given to it in Section 1.1 of this Indenture, as adjusted in accordance with Section 6.13
of this Indenture.

 

P
means the number specified in any indenture supplemental hereto.

 

VWAP
means the VWAP during the VWAP Period.

 

Maximum
Conversion Number means a number calculated according to the following
formula:

 

    	 	58	 

     

    

 

	Maximum Conversion Number for each Security	=	Outstanding Principal Amount of the Security (translated into Australian Dollars in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of Outstanding Principal Amount where the calculation date shall be the ASX Business Day prior to the issue date of the Securities of a series)
	0.20 x Issue Date VWAP

 

where:

 

Outstanding
Principal Amount has the meaning given to it in Section 1.1 of this Indenture, as adjusted in accordance with Section 6.13
of this Indenture.

 

If any Securities are Converted following a Non-Viability
Trigger Event, it is likely that the Maximum Conversion Number will apply and limit the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued. In this
case, the value of the Ordinary Shares received is likely to be significantly less than the Outstanding Principal Amount of those Securities.
The Australian dollar may depreciate in value against the U.S. dollar by the time of Conversion. In that case, the Maximum Conversion
Number is more likely to apply.

 

(b)            Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.10 of this Indenture, the rights of each Holder of Securities in relation to each Security (including
to payment of interest, if any, with respect to such Outstanding Principal Amount) that is being Converted as determined in accordance
with Sections 5.1(a) and (b) will be immediately and irrevocably written-off and terminated for an amount equal to the Outstanding
Principal Amount of such Security to be Converted as determined in accordance with Section 5.1 of this Indenture and the Company
will apply such Outstanding Principal Amount of each such Security to be so Converted to subscribe for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted
and issued under Section 6.1(a). Each Holder of a Security shall be deemed to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under
the provisions of this Section 6.1 is to be applied in accordance with this Section 6.1 without delay (notwithstanding any other
terms and conditions described in this Indenture providing for payments to be delayed) and Holders do not have any right to payment in
any other manner.

 

(c)            Any
calculation under Section 6.1(a) shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that
if the total number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued to a Holder of Securities in respect of such Holder’s aggregate
holding of Securities includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share will not be issued or delivered on
Conversion.

 

    	 	59	 

     

    

 

Section 6.2.             Adjustments
to VWAP Generally. For the purposes of calculating VWAP under the provisions of Section 6.1 of this Indenture:

 

(a)            where,
on some or all of the ASX Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend or cum any
other distribution or entitlement and Securities shall be Converted into Ordinary Shares after that date and those Ordinary Shares will
no longer carry that dividend or that other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the ASX Business Days on which those Ordinary
Shares have been quoted cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount (the “Cum Value”),
equal to:

 

(i)            in
the case of a dividend or other distribution, the amount of that dividend or other distribution including, if the dividend or distribution
is franked, the amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or distribution who is a natural
person resident in Australia under the Tax Legislation;

 

(ii)            in
the case of any entitlement that is not a dividend or other distribution for which adjustment is made under the provisions of Section 6.2(a)(i) of
this Indenture which is traded on the ASX on any of those ASX Business Days, the volume weighted average price of all such entitlements
sold on ASX during the VWAP Period on the ASX Business Days on which those entitlements were traded (excluding trades of the kind that
would be excluded in determining VWAP under the definition of that term); or

 

(iii)            in
the case of other entitlements for which adjustment is not made under the provisions of Sections 6.2(a)(i) or (ii) of this Indenture,
the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Company; and

 

(b)            where,
on some or all of the ASX Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted as ex dividend or ex any other distribution
or entitlement, and Securities will be Converted into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to receive the relevant dividend, distribution
or entitlement, the VWAP on the ASX Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution
or entitlement will be increased by the Cum Value.

 

    	 	60	 

     

    

 

Section 6.3.              Adjustments
to VWAP for Capital Reconstruction. (a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change to the number of Ordinary Shares
on issue because the Ordinary Shares are reconstructed, consolidated, divided or reclassified (in a manner not involving any cash payment
or the giving of another form of consideration to or by holders of Ordinary Shares) (a “Reclassification”), into a
lesser or greater number, the daily VWAP for each day in the VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary Shares
is conducted on a post Reclassification basis will be adjusted by multiplying such daily VWAP by the following formula:

 

	A
	B

 

where:

 

A
means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the Reclassification; and

 

B
means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the Reclassification.

 

(b)            Any
adjustment made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3(a) of this Indenture will be effective and binding
on Holders of Securities.

 

Section 6.4.            Adjustments
to Issue Date VWAP Generally. For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Indenture,
adjustments will be made pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of this Indenture during the period in which the Issue Date VWAP is determined.
On and from the issue date of the Securities of a series, adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

 

(a)            may
be made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6, and 6.7 of this Indenture; and

 

(b)            if
so made, will be effective and binding on Holders.

 

Section 6.5.             Adjustments
to Issue Date VWAP for Bonus Issues. (a)  Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5(b) and 6.5(c) of this Indenture,
if at any time after the issue date of the Security the Company makes a pro-rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary
Shares generally (in a manner not involving any cash payment or the giving of another form of consideration to or by holders of Ordinary
Shares), the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted immediately in accordance with the following formula:

 

V = Vo x RD / (RD +RN)

 

    	 	61	 

     

    

 

where:

 

V
means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this formula;

 

Vo
means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this formula;

 

RD
means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the allotment of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue; and

 

RN
means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus issue.

 

(b)            The
adjustment set forth in Section 6.5(a) of this Indenture does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as part of a bonus share plan,
employee or executive share plan, executive option plan, share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

 

(c)            For
the purpose of this Section 6.5, an issue will be regarded as a bonus issue notwithstanding that the Company does not make offers
to some or all holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, provided that in so doing the Company is not in
contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.

 

(d)            No
adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section 6.5 for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by Section 6.5(a) above,
including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issues.

 

(e)            The
fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except as covered by Section 6.5(a) above shall not in any way
restrict the Company from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor require any consent or concurrence of any
Holders.

 

(f)            Any
adjustment made by the Company in accordance with Section 6.5(a) above will be effective and binding on Holders.

 

Section 6.6.     Adjustments
to Issue Date VWAP for Capital Reconstruction.

 

(a)            If
at any time after the issue date of the Securities of a series there is a change to the number of Ordinary Shares on issue because of
a Reclassification (in a manner not involving any cash payment or the giving of another form of consideration to or by holders of Ordinary
Shares) into a lesser or greater number, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the ASX
Business Day immediately before the date of any such Reclassification by the following formula:

 

	A
	B

 

    	 	62	 

     

    

 

where:

 

A
means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately before the Reclassification; and

 

B
means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after the Reclassification.

 

(b)            Any
adjustment made by the Company in accordance with Section 6.6(a) above will be effective and binding on Holders.

 

(c)            Each
Holder acknowledges that the Company may consolidate, divide or reclassify Ordinary Shares so that there is a lesser or greater number
of Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action requiring any consent or concurrence of any Holders.

 

Section 6.7.             No
Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5 of this Indenture, no adjustment
will be made to the Issue Date VWAP where any such adjustment (expressed in Australian Dollars and cents and rounded to the nearest whole
cent with A$0.005 being rounded upwards) would be less than one per cent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

 

Section 6.8.             Announcement
of Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP. The Company shall notify any adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP made as set forth in this Article VI
to ASX and to the Trustee and Holders of Securities pursuant to Sections 1.6 and 3.8 of this Indenture within 10 ASX Business Days of
the Company determining the adjustment and the adjustment will be final and binding.

 

Section 6.9.             Status
and Listing of Ordinary Shares. (a) Ordinary Shares issued or arising from Conversion will rank equally with, and will have the
same rights as, all other fully paid Ordinary Shares provided that the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares issued or arising from
Conversion do not take effect until 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date (or such other time required by APRA).
The Holders agree not to trade Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion (except as permitted by the Australian Corporations Act, other applicable
laws, the ASX Listing Rules or any listing rules of any applicable Recognized Exchange) until the Company has taken such steps
as are required by the Australian Corporations Act, other applicable laws, the ASX Listing Rules or any listing rules of any
applicable Recognized Exchange, as applicable, for the Ordinary Shares to be freely tradable without further disclosure or other action
and agree to allow the Company to impose a holding lock or to refuse to register a transfer in respect of Ordinary Shares until such time.

 

    	 	63	 

     

    

 

(b)            The
Company shall use all reasonable endeavors to list the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion of the Securities on ASX and to take all such
actions necessary for the Ordinary Shares so issued to become freely tradable without further disclosure or other action as referred to
in Section 6.9(a) above.

 

Section 6.10.           Conversion;
receipt of Ordinary Shares; where the Holder of Securities does not wish to receive Ordinary Shares; Holders’ Nominee.

 

		(a)	Where some or all of the Securities of a series (or a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of a Security) are required to
be Converted pursuant to Section 5.1, a Holder of Securities or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion wishing to receive
Ordinary Shares must, no later than the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date (or, in the case where Section 6.10(b)(vii) of this
Indenture applies, within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the Company
or (if then appointed) the Holders’ Nominee a notice setting out:

 

		(i)	its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it directs the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into
any register of title and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any Ordinary Shares to be issued on Conversion;

 

		(ii)	the security account details of such Holder of Securities in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System of Australia, operated
by the ASX or its affiliates or successors (“CHESS”), or such other account to which the Ordinary Shares may be credited;
and

 

		(iii)	such other information as is reasonably requested by the Company for the purposes of enabling it to issue any Ordinary Shares to be
issued on Conversion to the Holder of Securities.

 

The Company shall have no duty to seek or obtain from any such
Holder of Securities any of the information required to be submitted pursuant to this Section 6.10(a).

 

		(b)	If a Security or a portion thereof is required to be Converted and:

 

		(i)	the Holder of the Security has notified the Company that it does not wish to receive Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion
(whether entirely or to the extent specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time on or after the issue date of the Securities
of a series and no less than 15 Business Days prior to the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date;

 

    	 	64	 

     

    

 

		(ii)	the Security is held by a Foreign Holder or an Ineligible Holder;

 

		(iii)	the Holder of that Security is a Clearing System Holder;

 

		(iv)	for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Holder of the Security) the Company has not received the information required
by Section 6.10(a) of this Indenture prior to the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent
the Company from issuing the Ordinary Shares to the Holder of the Security on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date; or

 

		(v)	a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion,

 

then, on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date:

 

		(vi)	where Sections 6.10(b)(i) or 6.10(b)(ii) of this Indenture apply, the Company shall issue the Ordinary Shares to the Holder
of the Security only to the extent (if at all) that:

 

		(A)	where Section 6.10(b)(i) of this Indenture applies, the Holder of the Security has subsequently notified the Company that
it wishes to receive them (provided that the Company shall have no obligation to comply with any notification received after the Non-Viability
Trigger Event Date); and

 

		(B)	where Section 6.10(b)(ii) of this Indenture applies, the Company is satisfied that the laws of both the Commonwealth of
Australia and the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the unconditional issue of Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder
or the laws of the country in respect to which the Holder would otherwise be an Ineligible Holder will be compiled with in respect of
the issue of Ordinary Shares to the Ineligible Holder (but as to which, in either case, the Company is not bound to enquire and any decision
is in its sole discretion),

 

and to the extent the Company is not
required to issue Ordinary Shares directly to the Holder of the Security, the Company will issue the balance of the Ordinary Shares to
the Holders’ Nominee in accordance with Section 6.10(b)(vii) of this Indenture;

 

    	 	65	 

     

    

 

		(vii)	otherwise, subject to applicable law, the Company will issue the balance of Ordinary Shares in respect of the Holder of the Security
to a competent nominee (which may not be the Company or any of its Related Entities) (the “Holders’ Nominee”)
and will promptly notify such Holder of the Security of the name of and contact information for the Holders’ Nominee and the number
of Ordinary Shares issued to the Holders’ Nominee on its behalf and, subject to applicable law and:

 

		(A)	subject to Section 6.10(b)(vii)(B) of this Indenture, the Holders’ Nominee will as soon as reasonably possible and
no later than 35 days after issue of the Ordinary Shares sell those Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the net proceeds received,
after deducting any applicable brokerage fees, stamp duty and other taxes (including, without limitation, FATCA Withholding) and charges,
to the Holder of the Security, in each case arising in connection with the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Shares, and each Holders’
Nominee shall use the proceeds from such sale to pay any such fees, duties, taxes, charges and any FATCA Withholding arising in connection
with such issuance or sale; and

 

		(B)	where Sections 6.10(b)(iii) or 6.10(b)(iv) of this Indenture apply, the Holders’ Nominee will hold such Ordinary Shares
and will transfer Ordinary Shares to such Holder of the Securities (or, where Section 6.10(b)(iii) of this Indenture applies,
the person for whom the Clearing System Holder holds the Securities) promptly after such person provides the Holders’ Nominee with
the information required to be provided by such Holder of the Securities (as if a reference to the Company is a reference to the Holders’
Nominee and a reference to the issue of Ordinary Shares is a reference to the transfer of Ordinary Shares) but only where such information
is provided to the Holders’ Nominee within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued to the Holders’ Nominee
upon Conversion of such Securities and, where such Holder of the Securities fails to provide the Holders’ Nominee with the information
required to be provided by such Holder of the Securities, the Holders’ Nominee will sell the Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds
to such person in accordance with Section 6.10(b)(vii)(A) of this Indenture;

 

    	 	66	 

     

    

 

		(viii)	nothing in this Section 6.10(b) shall affect the Conversion of the Securities of a Holder of the Securities who is not a
person to which any of Sections 6.10(b)(i) to 6.10(b)(v) of this Indenture (inclusive) described in this Section 6.10 applies;
and

 

		(ix)	for the purpose of this Section 6.10(b), neither the Company nor the Holders’ Nominee shall owe any obligations or duties
to the Holders of Securities in relation to the price at which Ordinary Shares are sold or shall have any liability for any loss suffered
by a Holder of the Securities as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

		(c)	Subject to Section 5.3, if, in respect of a Conversion of Securities where Section 6.10(b)(vii) of this Indenture applies,
the Company fails to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares in respect of the Securities or percentage of the relevant Outstanding
Principal Amount of such Securities on the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date to any Holders’ Nominee, a Holder of Securities has
no further right or claim in respect of such Securities or the relevant portion thereof that is subject to Conversion except such Holder’s
entitlement to the Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion to the Holders’ Nominee and to receive the Ordinary Shares or the proceeds
from their sale pursuant to Section 6.10(b) of this Indenture, and such Holder has no remedies on account of the Company’s
failure to issue Ordinary Shares other than as is provided in Section 5.4(e) of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt,
if in respect of a Conversion of Securities where Section 6.10(b)(vii) applies, a Write-off occurs under Section 5.3, a
Holder of Securities has no further right or claim in respect of such Securities or the relevant portion thereof that is subject to Conversion
(including that such Holder has no entitlement to Ordinary Shares nor any right to seek specific performance of the Company’s obligation
to issue Ordinary Shares as is provided in Section 5.4(e)).

 

Section 6.11.           Conversion
or Write-off if Amounts Not Paid. Conversion or Write-off may occur even if an amount shall not have been paid to a Holder of Securities
due to the Company’s inability to satisfy the solvency condition of Section 4.3 of this Indenture.

 

Section 6.12.           Conversion
or Write-off After Winding-Up Commences. If an order is made by a court, or an effective resolution is passed, for a Winding-Up, and
a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, then Conversion or Write-off shall occur (subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this
Indenture) in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this Indenture.

 

    	 	67	 

     

    

 

Section 6.13.           Conversion
or Write-off of a Percentage of Outstanding Principal Amount. If in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Indenture,
a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security of a series is required to be Converted or Written-off upon the occurrence
of a Non-Viability Trigger Event, then this Article VI will apply to the Conversion or Write-off as if references to the Outstanding
Principal Amount of each Security were references to the relevant percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Security to be
Converted or Written-off.

 

Section 6.14.          Amendment
of Terms and Conditions Relating to Conversion for Approved Successor. (a) If:

 

(i)              it
is proposed that the Company be replaced as the ultimate parent company of the Group by an Approved Successor (the “Replacement”);
and

 

(ii)            the
Approved Successor agrees to expressly assume, by supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the Company’s obligations in respect
of the Securities for the benefit of Holders of Securities under which it agrees (among other things):

 

(A)            to
deliver fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Approved Successor (the “Approved Successor Shares”), under
all circumstances when the Company would have otherwise been obliged to deliver Ordinary Shares on a Conversion, subject to the same terms
and conditions set forth in this Indenture, as amended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14; and

 

(B)            to
use all reasonable endeavors and furnish all such documents, information and undertakings as may be reasonably necessary in order to procure
quotation of the Approved Successor Shares issued under the terms and conditions of this Indenture on the stock exchanges on which the
other Approved Successor Shares are quoted at the time of a Conversion,

 

the Company may, with APRA’s prior written approval,
but without the authority, assent or approval of Holders of Securities, give a notice (an “Approved Replacement Notice”),
to Holders of Securities pursuant to Sections 1.6 and 3.8 of this Indenture (which, if given, must be given as soon as practicable before
the Replacement and in any event no later than 10 ASX Business Days before the Replacement occurs).

 

    	 	68	 

     

    

 

(b)            An
Approved Replacement Notice must specify the amendments to the terms and conditions of the Securities which will be made in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.14, being those amendments which in the Company’s reasonable opinion are necessary, expedient
or appropriate to effect the substitution of the Approved Successor as the debtor in respect of Securities and the issuer of ordinary
shares on Conversion (including such amendments as are necessary, expedient or appropriate for the purposes of complying with the provisions
of Chapter 2L of the Australian Corporations Act where the Approved Successor is not an authorized deposit-taking institution under the
Australian Banking Act) or which are necessary, expedient or convenient in relation to taxes where the Approved Successor is incorporated
outside Australia.

 

(c)            An
Approved Replacement Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

 

(d)            If
the Company gives an Approved Replacement Notice to Holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.14(a) of
this Indenture, then with effect on and from the date specified in the Approved Replacement Notice:

 

(i)            the
Approved Successor shall assume all of the obligations of, and succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, the Company in respect of the Securities with the same effect as if the Approved Successor had been the original issuer of the Securities;

 

(ii)            the
Company (or any corporation which has previously assumed the obligations of the Company) shall be released from its liability in respect
of the Securities; and

 

(iii)            references
to the Company herein shall be deemed to be references to the Approved Successor and references to Ordinary Shares herein shall be taken
to be references to Approved Successor Shares.

 

(e)            If
the Company gives an Approved Replacement Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.14(a) of this Indenture, then
each Holder of Securities (including each holder of beneficial interests in a Security in global form) by its purchase and holding of
a Security shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to becoming a member of the Approved Successor in respect of Approved Successor
Shares issued on Conversion and to have agreed to be bound by the constitution or other organizational documents of the Approved Successor.

 

    	 	69	 

     

    

 

(f)            The
Company shall not be permitted to issue an Approved Replacement Notice unless:

 

(i)            APRA
is satisfied that the capital position of the Company on a “Level 1 basis” and “Level 2 basis” in accordance with
the Prudential Standards shall not be adversely affected by the Replacement; or

 

(ii)            the
Approved Successor or another entity which is not a Related Entity of the Company (other than an entity which is a direct or indirect
parent entity of the Company) and is approved by APRA subscribes for Ordinary Shares or other capital instruments acceptable to APRA in
such amount as may be necessary, or take other steps acceptable to APRA to ensure that the capital position of the Company on a “Level
1 basis” and “Level 2 basis” in accordance with the Prudential Standards shall not be adversely affected by the Replacement,
including, if required by APRA or the Prudential Standards, undertaking any capital injection in relation to the Company to replace the
Securities.

 

Any capital injection carried out pursuant to the provisions
of Section 6.14(f)(ii) of this Indenture must:

 

(A)            be
unconditional;

 

(B)            occur
simultaneously with the substitution of the Approved Successor; and

 

(C)            be
of equal or better quality capital and at least the same amount as the Securities, unless otherwise approved by APRA in writing.

 

The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.14
shall not prevent the Company from proposing, or limit, any scheme of arrangement or other similar proposal that may be put to Holders
of Securities or the Company’s members.

 

Section 6.15.     Power
of Attorney. By holding a Security, each such Holder is deemed to irrevocably appoint each of the Company, its directors or authorized
signatories and any of the Company’s liquidators or administrators (each an Attorney) severally to be the attorney of such Holder
with power in the name and on behalf of such Holder to sign all documents and transfers and do any other thing as may in the Attorney’s
opinion be necessary or desirable to be done in order to give effect to, or for such Holder to observe or perform such Holder’s
obligations under the provisions of Articles V and VI. Such power of attorney is given for valuable consideration and to secure the performance
by such Holder of such Holder’s obligations under the provisions of Articles V and VI and is irrevocable.

 

Section 6.16.     Cancellation.
All Securities so Converted shall forthwith be canceled and may not be re-issued or resold.

 

    	 	70	 

     

    

 

Section 6.17.     Calculations.
For the avoidance of doubt, any and all calculations relating to the Conversion or Write-off of the Securities and any adjustments thereto
shall be performed by, or on behalf of, the Company and the Holders shall direct any questions or concerns regarding such calculations
to the Company or Persons performing such calculations or adjustments. In no event shall the Trustee be required to perform such calculations
unless otherwise agreed.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section 7.1.     Termination
of Company’s Obligations Under the Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect
to Securities of, or within, any series and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities when the Company has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
all Securities of, or within, that series.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligation of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 9.8, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating
Agent under Section 9.13, the obligations of the Trustee under the last paragraph of Section 12.3 shall survive.

 

Section 7.2.     Repayment
to Company. The Trustee (and any Paying Agent) shall promptly pay to the Company upon Company Request any excess money held by them
at any time. Such Company Request shall specifically set forth the amount of such excess and the Trustee shall be fully protected and
shall incur no liability in reliance on such Company Request.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT, DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section 8.1.     Events
of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to the Securities of any series if (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree
or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

(1)            the
Company fails to pay (A) any Outstanding Principal Amount in respect of the Securities of the relevant series on the Maturity Date
or within seven days thereafter, or (B) any amount of interest in respect of the Securities of the relevant series on the due date
for payment thereof or within fourteen days thereafter, unless, in each case, prior to the commencement of a Winding-Up in Australia,
the failure to make such payment is the result of the Company not being Solvent on the date such payment is due or the Company would not
be Solvent on such date as a result of making such payment; or

 

    	 	71	 

     

    

 

(2)            a
Winding-Up in Australia.

 

Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to (1) above, the sole remedies for the Trustee or, subject to Section 8.6,
the Holder of Securities of the relevant series shall be to bring proceedings:

 

		•	to recover any amount then due and payable but unpaid on such Securities (subject to the Company being able to make the payment and
remain Solvent);

 

		•	to obtain an order for specific performance of any other obligation in respect of such Securities; or
	 	 	 
	 	•	for
a winding-up of the Company in Australia.

 

In
the event of a Winding-Up in Australia (but not in any other jurisdiction) pursuant to (2) above, the Securities of the relevant
series shall, without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder thereof, become immediately due and payable by the Company,
unless they have been Converted or Written-off, and the Trustee or any such Holder may, subject to the limitations set forth in Article IV,
prove or claim for the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities it holds (together with all outstanding interest and accrued interest
to the date of payment). However, it is unlikely a Winding-Up will occur without a Non-Viability Trigger Event having occurred first and
the Securities being Converted or Written-off. In that event:

 

		·	if the Securities have Converted into Ordinary Shares, holders will rank equally with existing holders of Ordinary Shares; and

 

		·	if the Securities are Written-off, all rights in relation to the Securities will be terminated, and holders will not have their Outstanding
Principal Amount repaid or receive any outstanding interest or accrued interest, or have the right to have the Securities Converted into
Ordinary Shares. In such an event, a Holder’s investment in the Securities will lose all of its value and such Holder will not receive
any compensation.

 

In the event of the occurrence of any Event of
Default, no remedy against the Company (including, without limitation, any right to sue for a sum of damages which has the same economic
effect as an acceleration of the Company’s payment obligations) shall be available to the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities
for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Securities or in respect of any breach by the Company of any obligation, condition
or provision binding on it under the terms of the Securities other than as described in an indenture supplemental hereto for the Securities
of any series.

 

    	 	72	 

     

    

 

A
Holder of Securities shall have no right to accelerate payment or exercise any other remedies (including any right to sue for damages)
as a consequence of any default other than as set forth herein. In the event of a Winding-Up in Australia (but not in any other
jurisdiction), the Securities of the relevant series will become immediately due and payable, unless they have been Converted or Written-off.
This shall be the only circumstance in which the payment of principal on Securities of the relevant series may be accelerated.

 

If any Security becomes due and payable as a result
of an Event of Default, the Company shall pay such amount as is equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount (or such other amount specified
in or determined in accordance with an indenture supplemental hereto for the Securities of any series) together with all accrued but unpaid
interest, if any.

 

Section 8.2.     Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Winding-Up or any other receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have brought proceedings for
the recovery of any overdue principal, interest or additional amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1. 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 pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.8.

 

Section 8.3.     Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, without the possession of any of the Securities
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto.

 

    	 	73	 

     

    

 

Section 8.4.     Delay
or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default.

 

Section 8.5.     Control
by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of each series affected
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 it with respect to Securities of that series; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series not consenting, or that would in the good faith judgment
of the Trustee have a substantial likelihood of involving the Trustee in personal liability and (iii) the Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

Section 8.6.     Limitation
on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture unless:

 

(1)            the
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;

 

(2)            the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of that series have made a written request to the
Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

(3)            such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be, or which
may be, incurred by the Trustee in pursuing the remedy;

 

(4)            the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and the offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings;
and

 

(5)            during
such 60 day period, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of that series have
not given to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.

 

    	 	74	 

     

    

 

No one or more Holders shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other of such Holders, 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 of such Holders.

 

Section 8.7.     Rights
of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, but subject to Sections 8.1, 8.6 and 12.2 and
Articles IV, V and VI, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7)
interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security (or, in case of redemption, on the redemption
dates), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 8.8.     Application
of Money Collected. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall, subject to the provisions of Articles IV,
V and VI, pay out the money in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal or 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 Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.8;

 

Second:
to Holders of Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected for amounts due and unpaid on such
Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

 

Third:
to the Company.

 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment
to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.8. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the
Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

 

Section 8.9.     Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder 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 or to such Holder,
then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

    	 	75	 

     

    

 

Section 8.10.     Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, 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 8.11.     Waiver
of Stay, Extension or Usury 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 stay or extension law or any usury or other
similar law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities contemplated herein or in the Securities or that 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.

 

Section 8.12.     Waiver
of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that the Company or any properties, assets or revenues of the Company may have or may hereafter
become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding,
from the giving of any relief in any thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process,
from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal
process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may
at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with
any Security of any series or this Indenture, the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consent to such relief and enforcement.

 

    	 	76	 

     

    

 

ARTICLE IX

 

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 9.1.     Rights,
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act:

 

(a)            In
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee need not investigate
any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

(b)            Any
request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than
delivery of any Security to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.3, which shall be sufficiently evidenced
as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.

 

(c)            Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with counsel and/or require an Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee shall
not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on a Board Resolution, the advice of counsel acceptable
to the Company and the Trustee, a certificate of an Officer or Officers delivered pursuant to Section 1.2, an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel.

 

(d)            The
Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed
with due care.

 

(e)            The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its discretion
or rights or powers.

 

(f)            The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct,
except that:

 

(i)            this
clause (f) does not limit the effect of Section 9.1(c);

 

(ii)            the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

 

    	 	77	 

     

    

 

(iii)            the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 8.5.

 

(g)            The
Trustee shall not be required 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 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.

 

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

 

(i)            In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out
of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions
of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

(j)            In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action; provided, that the Trustee may not be relieved from any liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in case
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect
to Securities of such series, such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent individual would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

 

    	 	78	 

     

    

 

Section 9.2.            Trustee
May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act,
may otherwise deal with the Company, an Affiliate or Subsidiary with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent,
Registrar or such other agent.

  

Section 9.3.             Money
Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the
Company.

 

Section 9.4.             Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, except that the Trustee represents and warrants that it is duly authorized
to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder; that the statements
made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied or to be supplied to the Company in connection with
the registration of any Securities are and will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein; and that such Statement
complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the Securities Act. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or for monies paid over to the Company pursuant
to the Indenture.

 

Section 9.5.
             Notice of Defaults. If a default occurs and is continuing
with respect to the Securities of any series and if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such
default, the Trustee shall, within 90 days after it occurs, transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of all such uncured events that are known to it; provided, that, except
in the case of a default in payment on the Securities of any series, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of that series. For
the purpose of this Section only, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

Section 9.6.             Reports
by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15 of each year commencing with the first May 15 after the first issuance
of Securities pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities as provided in Section 313(c) of
the Trust Indenture Act a brief report dated as of such May 15 if required by and in compliance with Section 313(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act. A copy of each report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock
exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Company, as provided in Section 313(d) of
the Trust Indenture Act. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.

Section 9.7.     Security
Holder Lists. The Trustee shall, in compliance with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of each series.
If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee within 14 days after each Regular Record Date, and at such
other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 5 Business Days of such request, a list, in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require, containing all the information in the possession or control of the Registrar, the Company or any of
its Paying Agents other than the Trustee as to the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of each such series.

 

Section 9.8.     Compensation
and Indemnity. (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the Company
and the Trustee may agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of
the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

(b)            The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including
taxes other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any third-party claim, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with its acceptance or administration of the trust
or trusts hereunder (collectively, “Claims”). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any Claim for which
it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the Claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without
its consent; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)            The
Company need not reimburse any expense, disbursement or advance or indemnify against any Claim incurred by the Trustee through negligence
or bad faith.

 

(d)            To
secure the payment obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

 

    	 	80	 

     

    

 

(e)            When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1, the expenses (including
the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

 

(f)            The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

Section 9.9.     Replacement
of Trustee. (a)  The resignation or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective
only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in Section 9.10.

 

(b)            The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 9.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(c)            The
Holders of a majority in aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to
that series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the Company’s consent.

 

If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
required by Section 9.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal,
the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(d)            If
at any time:

 

(1)            the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(2)            the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 9.11 hereof or Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail
to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months; or

 

    	 	81	 

     

    

 

(3)            the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting, is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee
or its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

 

then, in any such case, (i) the Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee
or Trustees.

 

(e)            If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with
respect to Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability,
or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 9.10, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by
the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 9.10, then, subject to Section 315(e) of
the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

Section 9.10.     Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor. (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee, without
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for
in Section 9.8 of this Indenture.

 

    	 	82	 

     

    

 

(b)            In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein such successor Trustee
shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee
is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the
retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any
of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees
of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

 

(c)            Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case
may be.

 

(d)            No
successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(e)            The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in
Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

    	 	83	 

     

    

 

Section 9.11.     Eligibility;
Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Securities (which need not be the
same Trustee for all series). Each Trustee hereunder shall be eligible to act as trustee under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, 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, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and
in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, any Trustee hereunder shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being the trustee or acting
in such other specified capacity under (i) the Senior Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1999, between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as amended (ii) the 8% New Zealand-dollar denominated junior subordinated convertible
debentures, issued by the Company acting through its branch located in Wellington, New Zealand pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture;
(iii) the Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2008, between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon, as fiscal agent, as amended; and (iv) the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement, dated as of September 29, 1989,
between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as amended.

 

Section 9.12.     Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication
and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

 

    	 	84	 

     

    

 

Section 9.13.     Appointment
of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee shall initially be the Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent
or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series issued upon original issue exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy
of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be
provided pursuant to Section 3.1, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus
of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business
of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under
this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 

An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities
may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any
series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating
Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of
the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless
eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

    	 	85	 

     

    

 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating
Agent from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Company and such Authenticating Agent agree in writing from time to time including
reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.

 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series
is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:

 

This is one of the Securities of the series designated
herein and issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

	 	The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee
	 	 
	 	By	 
	 	 	as Authenticating Agent
	 	 
	 	By	 
	 	 	Authorized Signature

 

Section 9.14.     Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor under
the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor).

 

Section 9.15.     FATCA.
The Company agrees that if the Securities do not qualify as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i)(B) of
the Treasury Regulations, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Trustee information reasonably requested by the
Trustee about the source and character for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any payments to be made pursuant to the Indenture or the
Securities as is necessary to enable the Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee is obligated to make any deduction or withholding
from such payments pursuant to FATCA. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from
payments to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law (including FATCA) and shall not have any liability with respect to such
withholding or deductions. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of the Indenture.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE BY THE COMPANY

 

Section 10.1.     Consolidation,
Merger or Sale of Assets Permitted. The Company may not merge or consolidate with or into any other Person or sell, convey or transfer
all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless (i) (A) in the case of such merger or consolidation, the Company
is the surviving Person or (B) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged, or the Person that acquires
by sale, conveyance or transfer, the assets of the Company expressly assumes by supplemental indenture delivered to the Trustee all the
obligations of the Company under the Securities and under this Indenture, (ii) immediately thereafter, giving effect to such merger
or consolidation, or such sale, conveyance or transfer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, consolidation,
sale, conveyance or transfer complies with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction
have been complied with (which Opinion of Counsel may rely on such Officers’ Certificate with respect to compliance with the preceding
clause (ii)). In the event of the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Company as provided in clause (i)(B) of
the immediately preceding sentence, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company hereunder and under the
Securities and all such obligations of the Company shall terminate. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein will prevent the Company
from consolidating with or merging into any other person or conveying, transferring or leasing its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to any person, or from permitting any person to consolidate with or merge into the Company or to convey, transfer or lease
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company where such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease is:

 

		·	required by APRA (or any Banking Act statutory manager or similar official appointed by it) under law and prudential regulation applicable
in the Commonwealth of Australia (including, without limitation, the Australian Banking Act or the Australian Financial Sector (Transfer
and Restructure) Act 1999, which terms, as used herein, include any amendments thereto, rules thereunder and any successor laws,
amendments and rules)); or

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

		·	determined by the board of directors of the Company or by APRA (or any Banking Act statutory manager or similar official appointed
by it) to be necessary in order for the Company to be managed in a sound and prudent manner or for the Company or APRA (or any statutory
manager or similar official appointed by it) to resolve any financial difficulties affecting the Company, in each case in accordance with
prudential regulation applicable in the Commonwealth of Australia.

such amendment may affect the eligibility of the Security as Tier 2 Capital as described in the Prudential Standards.

 

Any such consent given by the Holder of a Security
of a series shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and all future Holders of the Securities of such series and of any Securities
of such series issued on registration thereof, the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Securities of such series.

 

For the purposes of this Section 11.2, if
the Securities of any series are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, any holder of an unexercised and unexpired warrant with respect
to such series shall not be deemed to be a Holder of Outstanding Securities of such series in the amount issuable upon the exercise of
such warrants.

 

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates
any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision,
shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

 

Immediately prior to entering into a supplemental
indenture amending such sections or changing the Stated Maturity of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of any series pursuant
to this Section 11.2, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is entitled
to effect such amendment or change and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company
to do so have occurred.

 

It is not necessary under this Section 11.2
for the Holders to consent to the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it is sufficient if they consent to the
substance thereof.

 

Section 11.3.     Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more series shall be set forth in a supplemental
indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

 

    	 	91	 

     

    

 

Section 11.4.     Execution
of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this
Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee
shall enter into any such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 11.5.     Effect
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified
in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby; provided that if such supplemental indenture makes
any of the changes in clauses (1) through (5) of the first proviso to Section 11.2 of this Indenture, such supplemental
indenture shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Security or any part thereof.

 

Section 11.6.     Reference
in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified
as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

 

ARTICLE XII

 

COVENANTS

 

Section 12.1.     Payment
of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities
of such series and this Indenture. An installment of interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying
Agent holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment.

 

Section 12.2.     Maintenance
of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are issued as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment
for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities
of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location,
and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

 

    	 	92	 

     

    

 

Subject to the preceding paragraphs, the Company
may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities
of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
the Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent. The Paying Agent may make reasonable rules not inconsistent herewith for the performance
of its functions.

 

Section 12.3.     Money
for Securities to Be Held in Trust; Unclaimed Money. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to
any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of that series,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming
due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of its action or failure so to act.

 

If the Company is not acting as its own Paying
Agent, the Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of 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, that such Paying Agent
will:

 

(1)            hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

 

(2)            give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities; and

 

    	 	93	 

     

    

 

(3)            at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent.

 

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. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in a separate trust fund.

 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of any principal or interest or other amounts on any Security of any series
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest or other amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall 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, however,
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 City of New York, or cause to be mailed to such Holder, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will
be repaid to the Company.

 

Section 12.4.     Corporate
Existence. Subject to Article X, the Company will at all times do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights and franchises; provided that nothing in this Section 12.4 shall
prevent the abandonment or termination of any right or franchise of the Company if, in the opinion of the Company, such abandonment or
termination is in the best interests of the Company.

 

Section 12.5.     Insurance.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and
reputable insurance companies or associations or through a program of self-insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as are consistent
with sound business practice for corporations engaged in the same or a similar business similarly situated.

 

    	 	94	 

     

    

 

Section 12.6.     Reports
by the Company. The Company covenants, as provided in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act:

 

(a)            to
file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports
and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time
to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or, if the Company is not required to file information,
documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports
which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in respect of a security listed
and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

 

(b)            to
file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission,
such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided
for in this Indenture, as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

 

(c)            to
transmit to all Holders of Securities within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided
in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed
by the Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 12.6, as may be required by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

 

(d)            Delivery
of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee, including pursuant to this Section 12.6, is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable therefrom, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants pursuant to Article 12 (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

 

Section 12.7.     Annual
Review Certificate. As provided in Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company covenants and agrees to deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions
and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 12.7, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture.

 

    	 	95	 

     

    

 

Section 12.8.     Withholding
Tax and Payment of Additional Amounts. (a)  The Company will pay all amounts that it is required to pay in respect of the Securities
without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein,
unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Company will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary
so that the net amount received by the Holder of the Security, after such withholding or deduction, will equal the amount that the Holder
would have received in respect of the Security without such withholding or deduction; provided that the Company will pay no additional
amounts in respect of the Security for or on account of:

 

(1)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder, or the beneficial
owner, of the Security was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was
physically present in, the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or otherwise
had some connection with the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein other than
merely holding such Security or receiving payments under such Security;

 

(2)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of the Security presented
such Security for payment in the Commonwealth of Australia, unless the Holder was required to present such Security for payment and it
could not have been presented for payment anywhere else;

 

(3)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that the Holder of the Security presented
such Security for payment more than 30 days after the date such payment became due and was provided for, whichever is later, except to
the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the additional amounts on presenting such Security for payment on any day during
that 30 day period;

 

(4)            any
estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(5)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction;

 

    	 	96	 

     

    

 

(6)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed if the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Security
complied with the Company’s request to provide information concerning his, her or its nationality, residence or identity or to
make a declaration, claim or filing or satisfy any requirement for information or reporting that is required to establish the eligibility
of the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of such Security to receive the relevant payment without (or at a reduced rate of) withholding
or deduction for or on account of any such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(7)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the
Security being an associate of the Company’s for purposes of Section 128F of the Australian Tax Act (other than in the capacity
of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme under the Australian Corporations
Act);

 

(8)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld as a consequence of a determination having been made under
Part IVA of the Australian Tax Act (or any modification thereof or provision substituted therefor) by the Australian Commissioner
of Taxation that such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge is payable in circumstances where the Holder, or the beneficial
owner, of such Security is a party to or participated in a scheme to avoid such tax which the Company was not a party to;

 

(9)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder of the Security, or any beneficial owner
of any interest in, or rights in respect of, such Securities, upon, with respect to, or by reason of, such Person being issued Ordinary
Shares;

 

(10)            any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge arising under or in connection with, or in order to ensure compliance with, FATCA;
or

 

(11)            any
combination of the foregoing.

 

(b)            Subject
to the foregoing, additional amounts will also not be payable by the Company with respect to any payment on any Security to any Holder
who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that payment would, under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived
or received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settler of that fiduciary or member of that partnership or a beneficial owner, in each
case, who would not have been entitled to those additional amounts had it been the actual Holder of such Security.

 

    	 	97	 

     

    

 

(c)            If,
as a result of the Company’s consolidation or merger with or into an entity organized under the laws of a country other than the
Commonwealth of Australia or a political subdivision of a country other than the Commonwealth of Australia or the sale, conveyance or
transfer by the Company of all or substantially all its assets to such an entity, such an entity assumes the obligations of the Company,
such entity will pay additional amounts on the same basis, except that references to “the Commonwealth of Australia” (other
than in Section 12.8(a)(7)) will be treated as references to both the Commonwealth of Australia and the country in which such entity
is organized or resident (or deemed resident for tax purposes).

 

(d)            The
Company, and any other Person to or through which any payment with respect to the Securities may be made, shall be entitled to withhold
or deduct from any payment with respect to such Securities amounts required to be withheld or deducted under or in connection with, or
in order to ensure compliance with, FATCA, and Holders and beneficial owners of such Securities shall not be entitled to receive any gross
up or other additional amounts on account of any such withholding or deduction.

 

(e)            All
references in this Indenture to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security shall be deemed to include the payment of
additional amounts to the extent that, in that context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable under this Section 12.8.

 

Section 12.9.     Payment
of Stamp Taxes. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged all stamp and similar taxes, if any, that may
be imposed by the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the execution
or delivery of this Indenture or the Securities.

 

Section 12.10.     Indemnification
of Judgment Currency. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any Holder of a Security against any loss incurred by the Trustee
or such Holder, as the case may be, as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Indenture or
such Security and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than
the Specified Currency, and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency
amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange
in The City of New York at which the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able
to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Trustee or such Holder. The foregoing
indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any costs of exchange payable in connection
with the purchase of, or conversion into, the Specified Currency.

 

    	 	98	 

     

    

 

Section 12.11.     Waiver
of Certain Covenants. Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 12.4
and 12.9 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition
except to the extent so expressly waive, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties
of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

 

ARTICLE XIII

 

REDEMPTION

 

Section 13.1.     Applicability
of Article. Securities of or within any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance
with their terms and in accordance with this Article.

 

If an indenture supplemental hereto for the Securities
of any series provides that the Securities of such series may be redeemed at the Company’s election (subject to APRA’s prior
written approval, which may or not be given), unless otherwise provided in such indenture supplemental hereto, the Company may redeem
the Securities of such series in whole, but not in part, and such redemption shall not be permitted earlier than the fifth anniversary
of the issue date of the Securities of such series.

 

The Company may redeem Securities of a series only
if the Company has received the prior written approval of APRA (approval is at the discretion of APRA and may or may not be given and
Holders should not expect that APRA’s prior written approval will be given for any redemption of Securities), and:

 

(a)            before
or concurrently with the redemption, the Company replaces the Securities of such series with a capital instrument which is of the same
or better quality (for the purposes of the Prudential Standards) than the Securities of such series and the replacement of the Securities
of such series is done under conditions that are sustainable for the income capacity of the Company (for the purposes of the Prudential
Standards); or

 

(b)            the
Company obtains confirmation from APRA that APRA is satisfied, having regard to the capital position of the Company and the Group, that
the Company does not have to replace the Securities of such series.

 

No Holder has the right to request redemption of
their Securities at any time.

 

    	 	99	 

     

    

 

Section 13.2.     Election
to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution
or a Company Order. In the case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series having
the same terms, the Company shall, at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Securities
of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities
(i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in
this Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such
Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

Section 13.3.     Notice
of Redemption. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided
in Section 1.6 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed.

 

All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)            the
Redemption Date;

 

(2)            the
Redemption Price;

 

(3)            the
Place or Places of Payment where such Securities maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment for the Redemption
Price;

 

(4)            that
Securities of the series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

 

(5)            that,
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and

 

(6)            the
CUSIP number, if any, of such Securities.

 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed
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. Any notice
given in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not such notice is actually received.
Failure to mail any notice or defect in the mailed notice or the mailing thereof in respect of any Security shall not affect the validity
of the redemption of any other Security.

 

    	 	100	 

     

    

 

Section 13.4.     Deposit
of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 12.3) an amount of money in the
currency or currencies (including currency units or composite currencies) in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption
Price of, and accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date on, all Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

 

The Company may deliver such Securities to the
Trustee for crediting against such payment obligation in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

 

Section 13.5.     Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption
Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Except as provided in the next
succeeding paragraph, upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by
the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

If any Security called for redemption shall not
be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

 

Section 13.6.     Redemption
for Taxation or Regulatory Reasons. Subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, the Company may redeem the Securities of
a series in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of an Adverse Tax Event or a Regulatory Event, provided that the Company has obtained,
in the case of an Adverse Tax Event, a supporting opinion of legal or tax advisers of recognized standing in Australia (or, if a Relevant
Transaction occurs and the home jurisdiction for tax purposes of such other entity is not Australia, legal or tax advisers of recognized
standing in such other jurisdiction) or, in the case of a Regulatory Event, a supporting opinion of advisers of recognized standing in
Australia or confirmation from APRA. The Redemption Price for the Securities of a series redeemed in accordance with this Section 13.6
shall equal 100% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Securities of such series. In addition, the Company will pay to the Holders
of the Securities redeemed in accordance with this Section 13.6 accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
