 ARTICLE 2 

THE SECURITIES 
 Section 2.01. Form

 (a) General. The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, or such
other form as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by
this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any applicable securities exchange, organizational document, governing
instrument or law or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued as permitted by Section 2.12, the
form thereof also shall be established as provided in the preceding sentence. If the forms of Securities of any series are established by, or by action taken pursuant to, a Board Resolution, a copy of the Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of the certificate, together with an appropriate record of any such action taken pursuant thereto, including
a copy of the approved form of Securities shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Authentication Order contemplated by Section 2.04 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein
and referred to in the within-mentioned Subordinated Indenture. 
  

			
	[                    ], as Trustee
		
	By:	 	 
		 	Authorized Signatory

 (b) Global Securities. 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 upon the written order of the Company signed by an Officer to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.12. Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.04, Section 2.12, if applicable, and Section 2.08, 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 written order of the Company signed by an Officer. Any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing. 

  
 - 7 - 

 The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 2.04 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 with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.04. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 2.01, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Holder thereof.

amounts shall be determined and any special voting or defeasance provisions in connection therewith;

	 	(21)	any restrictions on the registration, transfer or exchange of the Securities;

documentation), each in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and 

  
 - 10 - 

	 	(25)	any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture) including any terms which may be required by or advisable under United States laws or regulations or advisable
(as determined by the Company) in connection with the marketing of Securities of the series. 

 (c) All Securities of any one
series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided (i) by a Board Resolution, (ii) by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth, or determined in the manner provided,
in the related Officer’s 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. The Company may, subject to obtaining all necessary corporate approvals but without the consent of any Holder of a Security, issue additional Securities in a series having the same
CUSIP number and the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the other Securities of the series. The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons. 

(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 delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s 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 2.03. Denominations.  

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.02, Securities of a series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities denominated in a foreign currency shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 

Section 2.04. Execution and Authentication.  

An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall, upon a
written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), together with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, authenticate Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount and pursuant
to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as are stated in the Authentication Order. In addition to the matters required by Section 12.05, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall cover such other matters as the Trustee
shall reasonably request. 

  
 - 11 - 

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company. 
 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 2.13 together with a written statement 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 2.05. Registrar and Paying Agent; Appointment of Depositary.  

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall
be only one register for the Securities. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Securities and to act as Custodian
with respect to the Global Securities. 
 Section 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities or other payments in respect of the Securities or otherwise held by it as Paying Agent, and will notify the Trustee of
any default by the Company in making any such payment when due. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold
in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

  
 - 12 - 

 Section 2.07. Holder Lists.  

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 

Section 2.08. Transfer and Exchange.  

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.02
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 Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
and of a same aggregate principal amount and like tenor and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 (b) At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series (except a Security in global form) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations, of a same aggregate principal amount and like tenor and containing identical terms and provisions,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in
part for Securities in certificated form, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred 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. 

(d) 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 shall no longer be registered and in good standing as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary
with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company prior to the resignation of the Depositary and, in any event, within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s designation of the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(20) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series, and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication 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 principal amount equal to the 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. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, any Securities in book-entry form only at the Depositary will be exchanged in a like manner for certificated Securities registered in the name of the beneficial owner of such Securities or its nominee. 

  
 - 13 - 

 (e) The Company may at any time in its sole discretion, and subject to the procedures of the
Depositary, determine that all (but not less than all) 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 an Authentication 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 principal amount equal to the 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. 

(f) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 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, 
  

	 	(i)	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 principal amount equal to
and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Security in global form; and 

  

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

 (g) 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, pursuant to instructions from its direct or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the
Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 (h) 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. 
 (i)
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. 
 (j) Every 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. 

  
 - 14 - 

 (k) 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 2.12, 9.05 or 3.06 not involving any transfer. 
 (l) 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 the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing; or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

(m) The foregoing provisions 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. 
 (n) The following legend shall appear on the
face of all Global Securities unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provision of this Indenture: 

“Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York
corporation (“DTC”), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge, or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful
inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.” 
 (o) At such time as all beneficial interests
in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and
canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.13 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Security or for definitive Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee
or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global
Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(p) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the record date provisions of such Security) interest on such Securities and for all other
purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the 

  
 - 15 - 

 Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security. 
 (q) None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 2.09. Replacement Securities.  

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the
Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. 
 Every replacement Security is an additional
obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 

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) connected therewith. 

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 2.10. Outstanding Securities.  

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 

  
 - 16 - 

 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding
unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a “protected purchaser” (within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or a Person with comparable status under other applicable
law. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest
on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption
date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.11. Treasury Securities.  

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Securities owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

Section 2.12. Temporary Securities.  

Until certificates representing Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of certificated Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. 

Holders of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

Section 2.13. Cancellation.  
 The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else
shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of
the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Securities shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 Section 2.14. Defaulted Interest.  

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
defaulted interest proposed 

  
 - 17 - 

 
to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special
record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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. 

ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION
AND PREPAYMENT 
 Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.  

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02 for Securities of such series. 

Section 3.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.  

If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such series to be
redeemed among the Holders of the Securities of such series by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that no Securities of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The particular Securities of such series to be
redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Securities of the series not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected
for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities and portions of Securities selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Securities of a series of a Holder are to be
redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Securities of such series held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. A new Security of the same series and tenor in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. Securities called for redemption shall become due on the redemption date. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities
or portions of them called for redemption. Except as provided in this Section 3.02, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption shall also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.  

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by
Section 2.02 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 15 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 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

  
 - 18 - 

 
Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of
the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the
Securities to be redeemed, including the series thereof, and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 
 (c)
the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (d) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (e) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption
will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (f) that in the case of any Security being redeemed in part, the portion of the
principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series and tenor in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon
cancellation of the original; 
 (g) the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called
for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any,
listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee
give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 Section 3.04. Effect of
Notice of Redemption.  
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

  
 - 19 - 

 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.  

On or prior to any redemption date or purchase date (provided that any deposit made on any redemption or purchase date must be made prior to
10:00 a.m. Eastern Time), the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed
or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of,
and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed or purchased. 
 Section 3.06. Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.  

Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Security of the same series and tenor equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered. 

Section 3.07. Mandatory Redemption; Sinking Fund.  

The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities, unless otherwise
specified in the terms of a particular series of Securities. If a mandatory or optional sinking fund is specified in the terms of a particular series of Securities, the following provisions will apply thereto (unless otherwise specified): 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” The last date on which any such
payment may be made is herein referred to as a “sinking fund payment date.” 
 In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory
sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased by the Company and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of
that series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, in each case in satisfaction
of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Each such Security so delivered or applied as a credit shall be credited at the sinking fund redemption price for
such Securities and the amount of any mandatory sinking fund shall be reduced accordingly. If the Company intends so to deliver or credit such Securities with respect to any mandatory sinking fund payment it shall deliver to the Trustee at least 15
days prior to the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series (a) an Officer’s Certificate specifying the portion of such sinking fund payment, if any, to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion of such sinking fund
payment, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting such Securities, and stating the basis of such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and (b) any Securities to be so delivered. All Securities
so delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate and Securities at or before the time provided above, the Company shall not be
permitted to satisfy any portion of such mandatory sinking fund payment by delivery or credit of Securities. 

  
 - 20 - 

 At its option the Company may pay into the sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any
particular series, on or before each sinking fund payment date for such series, any additional sum in cash as specified by the terms of such series of Securities. If the Company intends to exercise its right to make any such optional sinking fund
payment, it shall deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series of Securities an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company intends to exercise such optional right and
specifying the amount which the Company intends to pay on such sinking fund payment date. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate at or before the time provided above, the Company shall not be permitted to make any optional sinking fund
payment with respect to such sinking fund payment date. To the extent that such right is not exercised in any year it shall not be cumulative or carried forward to any subsequent year. 

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments
made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular series, it shall be applied by the Trustee or one or more Paying Agents on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on such
sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to exhaust said cash, as nearly as may be, and the Trustee shall, at the expense and in the name of the Company, thereupon cause notice of redemption of Securities
of such series to be given in substantially the manner and with the effect provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 for the redemption of Securities of that series in part at the option of the Company, except that the notice of redemption shall also state
that the Securities of such series are being redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the redemption of Securities of that series shall be added to the next cash sinking
fund payment received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.07. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent on the
maturity date of the Securities of any particular series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be
deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of that series at maturity. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to one or more Paying Agents in cash a sum equal
to all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall redeem any Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys, and the Trustee shall not mail any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund, during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph), except that if the notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee or any paying agent
shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee or such paying agent for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article 3. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such
series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and 

  
 - 21 - 

 
any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of all such Securities; provided,
however, that in case such Event of Default or default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date on which such moneys may be applied pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 3.07. 
 ARTICLE 4 

COVENANTS 
 Section 4.01. Payment
of Securities.  
 The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities on the
dates and in the manner provided in the Securities. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on
the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. 

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.  

The Company shall maintain in the State of New York or such other place of payment specified in the Security or related supplemental indenture

notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of 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 Trustee’s principal
corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which currently is located at [            ], Attention:
[            ]. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities 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 the Place of Payment for such purposes. The Company shall 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. 
 Section 4.03. Reports.  

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee, and to provide by mail to each Holder, within 15 days after the Company files
the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and the information, documents and other reports which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
provided, however, that if such reports, documents or other information is publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) within 15 days of filing the same with the SEC, such reports, documents or other information will
be deemed to be timely filed with the Trustee and provided to the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.03. 

  
 - 22 - 

 (b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with the
rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, 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 SEC rules and regulations. 
 (c) The Company covenants and agrees to furnish to the Trustee within 120 days of the end of
each fiscal year, the compliance certificate required by TIA § 314(a)(4). 
 (d) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to
the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate.  

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its
obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default, Event of Default or other instance of non-compliance with any of the terms of this Indenture shall
have occurred, describing all such Defaults, Events of Default or instances of non-compliance of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her
knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are
outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer of the Company becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 4.05. Continued Existence.  

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
(i) its existence as a corporation or other permitted entity, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from
time to time) of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and 

  
 - 23 - 

 
franchises of the Company and any of its Significant Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Significant Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Significant
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities. 
 Section 4.06.
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, 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 shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 5

 SUCCESSORS 
 Section 5.01.
Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.  
 The Company may consolidate or amalgamate with, merge into, convert itself into, or
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (including any such disposition that might be deemed to occur as a result of the conversion of the Company into another form of organization) all or substantially all of its properties or
assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person (other than an individual, a government or an agency or political subdivision of a government), but only if (a) either (i) the Company is the surviving entity or (ii) the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or conversion (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person organized or
existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom or Bermuda; (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or conversion (if other than the
Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and (c) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists. If the Company requests the Trustee to enter into any supplemental indenture, or to take any other action, as a
result of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the Company will also furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that the
conditions precedent set forth in this Section 5.01 have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation, amalgamation, merger or conversion, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or 

  
 - 24 - 

 
amalgamation or into or with which the Company is merged or converted or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conversion, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided,
however, that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
(other than a lease) of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof. 

ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01. Events of Default.  

An “Event of Default,” with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred if: 

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest on, or with respect to, any Security of that series and such default continues for
a period of 30 days; 
 (b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on, or a sinking fund payment
with respect to, any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; 
 (c) the
Company fails to comply with any of the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof; 
 (d) the Company fails to observe or perform any other
covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement in this Indenture, with respect to any Security of that series for 60 days after notice to comply; 

(e) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case; 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; 

  
 - 25 - 

 (f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case; 

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or 

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company; 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(g) any other event provided with respect to Securities of that series in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 2.02 hereof shall
occur. 
 The term “Custodian” as used in this Article 6 means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official
under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (d) with respect to the Securities of any series is not an Event of Default until
the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected by the Default (treating all such series as a single class) notify the Company and the Trustee, of the
Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

Section 6.02. Acceleration.  
 If any
Event of Default with respect to one or more series of Securities (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (treating all such series as a single class) may declare all the Securities of all such series to be due and
payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders). Upon any such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Securities of all such series shall
become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, all outstanding Securities of all series shall be due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies.  

If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture with respect to such series. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

  
 - 26 - 

 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults; Rescission of Acceleration.  

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected (treating all such series as a
single class) may, by notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of all such series, waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences hereunder (including in connection with
an offer to purchase or exchange), except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, or any sinking fund payment with respect to, the Securities of such series, and except a continuing
Default or Event of Default under any provision of this Indenture that, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or waived without the consent of a greater number of Holders or of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event
of Default shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected (treating all such series as a single class) may also rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to all such series, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration, but not including any other payment default. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority.  

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series with respect to which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (treating all such series as a single class) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it;
provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	such direction shall not be in conflict with any law or rule or with this Indenture; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining therein. 

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.  

A Holder of a Security of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series only if: 

(a) the Holder of a Security of any or all series affected gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all affected series (treating all such series as a
single class) make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 

  
 - 27 - 

 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of
such notice, request and offer and, if requested, provision of indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 30-day period the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all such series (treating all such series as a single class) do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

A Holder of a Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or
priority over another Holder of a Security. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.  

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any series to receive payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Security (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.  

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Securities, the
Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on such Securities and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest at the rate provided for in such Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities of any series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian 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 to it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by
a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to 

  
 - 28 - 

 
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Priorities.  

If the Trustee collects any money or other property pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or other property in the following
order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second:
subject to Article 10, to Holders of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest and any other amounts, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest and other amounts, respectively; and 
 Third: subject to Article 10, to
the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.  

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to
Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series.

 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.  

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture or an indenture supplemental hereto, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

	 	(ii)	in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee

opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

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

	 	(i)	this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction
of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness 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 the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole
cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

 - 31 - 

 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.  

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (within the meaning of TIA § 310(b)) it must eliminate such conflicting interest
within 90 days after Default, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee, or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. 

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.  

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; it
shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities or any other document in connection with the sale of the Securities
or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.  

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or
Event of Default, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest on, any
Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities. 

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities.  

On or before May 15 of each year, beginning with the May 15 following the date on which Securities are first issued under this
Indenture, and for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Securities a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a)
has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). A copy
of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as
the Company and Trustee have separately agreed. 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 promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except to the extent any disbursement, advance or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 - 32 - 

 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07)
and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss,
liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations hereunder. 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, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The obligations of the
Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, and the removal or resignation of the Trustee. 

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, except for those funds that are held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.  

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities at
any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee ceases to be eligible in
accordance with Section 7.10 hereof; 
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect
to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

  
 - 33 - 

 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of a series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by
the Company with respect to that series of Securities. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Security who has been a Holder of a Security for at least six months, ceases to be
eligible in accordance with Section 7.10, such Holder of a Security may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders
of the Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

If a successor Trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and
each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which 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 any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and 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 as 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. 

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.  

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

  
 - 34 - 

 Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.  

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which
other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met. 

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.  

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship described in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Securities (except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 8.01(b), and any obligation of the Company to convert or exchange Securities of such series as expressly provided for in the Board Resolution or
indenture supplemental hereto establishing such Series) (1) if (i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose

the Trustee for cancellation; (ii) the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder or under the applicable Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto in respect of such series of Securities; and (iii) the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series have been complied with; or
(2) if (i) either (A) in the case of a series of Securities redeemable prior to its Stated Maturity, such Securities are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the

name, and at the expense, of the Company or (B) all Securities of such series have otherwise become due and payable hereunder or will become due and payable within one year; (ii) the
Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee), as trust funds in
trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series for that purpose, cash in United States dollars in such amount as is sufficient without consideration of reinvestment of interest or other earnings on such cash, to pay the
entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities of such series to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable) or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; (iii) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture or the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is bound; (iv) the Company shall have paid all other sums
payable by it hereunder in respect of Securities of such series; and (v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 4.02, 7.07, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive with respect to the Securities of the applicable series until they are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.10. After the
Securities of the applicable series are no longer outstanding, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive in respect of Securities of the applicable series. 

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s
obligations under the Securities of the applicable series and the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, except for those surviving obligations specified above. 

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 relating to one or more
series of Securities, the Company shall, upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such series on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under the Securities of the applicable series and under the provisions of this Indenture applicable to such series (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of the applicable series to receive solely from
the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and

 - 36 - 

 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.  

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 relating to one or more
series of Securities, the Company shall, upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.06 hereof with respect to the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series, and under any other covenants specified in the supplemental indenture or other terms of the applicable series as covenants to which this Section 8.03 apply, on and after the date the conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of the applicable series shall thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that the Securities of the applicable series shall not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the “Outstanding” Securities of the applicable series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected
thereby. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Securities of one or
more series:

series are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

 (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date
of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Sections 6.01(e) or (f) hereof are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (or greater period of time in which any
such deposit of trust funds may remain subject to bankruptcy or insolvency laws insofar as those apply to the deposit by the Company); and 

(e) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05. Deposited Money and
U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and
non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by
law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series. 

  
 - 38 - 

 Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the applicable series. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to Company.  

Any money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment
of the principal of, premium or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money and U.S. Government
Obligations, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement.  

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Securities.  

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities
without the consent of any Holder of a Security: 
 (a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, or successive
successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article 5 hereof; 

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holders of all or any

consider to be for the 

  
 - 39 - 

 
protection of the Holders of such Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default
or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction or condition such
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the
remedies available to the Trustee upon such default; 
 (c) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities in coupon form
(including Securities registrable as to principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with the Securities issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; 

(d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of the Securities; 
 (e) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08;

Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of the certificate, authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Sections 7.02(b), 9.06 and 12.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

  
 - 40 - 

 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Securities.  

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, or the Securities of
any series may be amended or supplemented, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as a single class) (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on the Securities) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding of all series affected by such waiver (voting as a single class) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities). 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of the certificate, authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities of each such series as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02(b), 9.06 and 12.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities
of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended
or supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 However, without the consent of each Holder of Securities affected, an amendment or waiver may not
(with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of the Securities whose Holders must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of the principal of, premium, if
any, or mandatory sinking fund obligation, if any, with respect to any Securities of any series or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities; 

(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security of any series; 

  
 - 41 - 

 (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest or premium on
the Securities of any series (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of one or more affected series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from
such acceleration); 
 (e) make any Security of any series payable in currency other than that stated in the Securities of such series; 

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive
payments of principal of or interest or premium on the Securities; 
 (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security; or 

(h) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the amendment and waiver provisions of Section 9.01 or this
Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with
the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.  

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of
a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Securities, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Securities. However, any such Holder of a
Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Securities if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.  

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Securities thereafter authenticated. The Company
in exchange for all Securities may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue new Securities shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.  

The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its Board of Directors approves it. The Trustee shall sign any amendment
or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or
refusing to sign 

  
 - 42 - 

 
such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms. 

Section 9.07. Amendments to Subordination Provisions.  

Any amendment to the provisions of Article 10 hereof will require the consent of each holder of Senior Debt that would be adversely affected by
such amendment. 
 ARTICLE 10 

SUBORDINATION 
 Section 10.01.
Agreement to Subordinate.  
 (a) The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced
by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. 
 (b) If any holder of Senior Debt is required by
any court or otherwise to return to the Company, or any Custodian (as defined in Article 6 of this Indenture), trustee, or similar official acting in relation to the Company, any amount paid by the Company to such holder of Senior Debt, the
provisions of this Article 10, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect; provided, however, that any amounts paid pursuant to this Indenture to Holders of Securities shall not be subject to disgorgement
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b). 
 Section 10.02. Certain Definitions.  

“Designated Senior Debt” means any Senior Debt permitted under this Indenture the principal amount of which is at least the amount
specified in the applicable supplemental indenture or Board Resolution and that has been designated by the Company as “Designated Senior Debt.” 

“Representative” means the indenture trustee or other trustee, agent or representative for any Senior Debt. 

A “distribution” may consist of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise. 

Section 10.03. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.  

Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the Company’s assets and liabilities: 

  
 - 43 - 

	 	(1)	holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the
applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Securities (except that Holders may receive (i) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Securities
to (a) Senior Debt and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Debt and (ii) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof); and 

 

	 	(2)	until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in subsection (1) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which the Holders of Securities would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to
holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders may receive (i) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Debt and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Debt and
(ii) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof), as their interests may appear. 

Section 10.04. Default on Designated Senior Debt.  

(a) The Company may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of the Securities and may not acquire from the
Trustee or any Holder any Securities for cash or property (other than (1) securities that are subordinated to at least the same extent as the Securities to (A) Senior Debt and (B) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Debt and
(2) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full if: 

 

	 	(1)	a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing
such Designated Senior Debt; or 

  

	 	(2)	a default, other than a default specified in Section 10.04(a)(1), on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt as
to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Person who may give it pursuant to Section 10.12 hereof. If the Trustee receives any such
Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (I) at least 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice
and (II) all scheduled payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have come due (other than by reason of acceleration) have been paid in full in cash. No default described in this paragraph (2) that existed
or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. 

  
 - 44 - 

	 	(b)	The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities and may acquire them: 

  

	 	(i)	in the case of a default described in Section 10.04(a)(1), upon the date on which the default is cured or waived, 

  

	 	(ii)	in the case of a default referred to in Section 10.04(a)(2) hereof, the earlier of the date on which such default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is
received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, and 

  

	 	(iii)	if this Article otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition. 

Section 10.05. Acceleration of Securities.  

If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the
acceleration. 
 Section 10.06. When Distribution Must be Paid Over.  

In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities at a time when a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by Section 10.04 hereof, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid
forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their
respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee
undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person
money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 

Section 10.07. Notice by Company.  

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any
Obligations with respect to the Securities to violate this Article, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article. 

  
 - 45 - 

 Section 10.08. Subrogation.  

After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all
other Indebtedness pari passu with the Securities) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of
Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Senior Debt. 

Section 10.09. Relative Rights.  

This Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 

(a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms; 
 (b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of
the Company other than rights of Holders of the Securities in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or 
 (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder
from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders. 

If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on a Security on the due date, the failure is
still a Default or Event of Default. 
 Section 10.10. Subordination May Not be Impaired by Company.  

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act
or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. 
 Section 10.11.
Distribution or Notice to Representative.  
 Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred
to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative (or of any holder of Senior Debt for which there is no
Representative) or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt
and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith,
that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to 

  
 - 46 - 

 
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of
Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10 and, if such evidence is not furnished, the
Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Section 10.12.
Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities, unless
the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities to
violate this Article or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee otherwise has actual knowledge of such facts. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice, such notice from the Company to be in the form of an Officer’s Certificate.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would permit the resumption of payments on or distributions in respect of
the Securities or the acquisition of the Securities by the Company unless the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate or a notice from a Representative to the effect that such resumption is permitted. Nothing in this Article 10
shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. 
 The Trustee in its individual or
any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 

Section 10.13. Authorization to Effect Subordination.  

Each Holder of a Security by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper
proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the agent under any Credit Facility (or in the absence of such
agent, any lender thereunder) is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities. 

ARTICLE 11

 Section 11.02. Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.  

(a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 11.01, to be
held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in such other place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, setting forth the time and the place of

proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or
the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in clause (a) of
this Section. 
 Section 11.03. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.  

To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (a) a Holder of one or more outstanding
Securities of such series, or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be
present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its
counsel. 
 Section 11.04. Quorum; Action.  

The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting
of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which this Indenture (or any Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto
establishing a series of Securities hereunder) expressly provides may be given by the Holders of more or less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to vote such percentage in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned
meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any such adjourned meeting
shall be given as provided in Section 11.02(a), except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting
shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum.

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02 or 9.02 or the last paragraph of

Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 11.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series

interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of original issuance thereof; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment
Date shall be             . The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard
to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders

Indenture dated as of             (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and in [a Supplemental
Indenture] [resolutions of [the             Committee of] the Company’s Board of Directors] dated, and those terms made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the
Company. “Notes” means this Note and all other Notes of the series of which this Note is a part. The Notes are “Securities” within the meaning of the Indenture, and references in the Indenture to “Securities” (including

at a redemption price of     % of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of redemption; provided that, after any such redemption, the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes outstanding (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) must equal at least     % of the principal amount of the Notes that had been issued under the Indenture up to the time of redemption; and
provided, further, that any such redemption shall occur within 90 days of the date of closing of such offering of capital stock of the Company.]

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes, except as provided in the
Indenture. 
 10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and other series of Securities affected (treating the Notes and such other series as a single class), and any existing default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and other series of Securities affected (treating the Notes and such other series as a
single class). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger, consolidation or certain other events, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the
Notes or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. 

11. Defaults and Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes and other series of Securities affected (treating the Notes and such other series as a single class) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and other series of Securities affected (treating the Notes and such other series as a single class) may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest)
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and other series of Securities affected (treating the Notes and such other series as a single class) then outstanding
by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest
or premium on the Notes. 

  
 A-4 

 12. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

13. No Recourse against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company shall have any liability for
any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 
 14. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
 15. Abbreviations.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties); JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common); CUST (=
Custodian); and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
 16. Cusip Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 

17. Subordination. The Company and the Holders, by accepting the Notes, agree that payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the right of payment in full of all present and future Senior Debt, and that the subordination provisions in the Indenture are for the benefit of
the holders of Senior Debt. Each Holder of a Note, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as
provided in Article 10 of the Indenture, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

reasonable judgment of the Board could interfere with the performance of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to (A) devote reasonable
periods of time to charitable and community activities and industry or professional activities (including, without limitation, serving on the board of directors of not-for-profit entities), (B) continue to serve on the boards of

  
 1 

 
directors of Chuy’s Holdings, Inc. and Barteca Holdings, LLC or (C) manage personal business interests and investments, so long as such activities in (A), (B) or (C) do not
interfere with the performance of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, Executive may not, without the prior approval of the Board (or applicable committee thereof), serve on the board of
directors (or other governing body) of any other for-profit corporation or entity. 
 3. Term. Subject to earlier termination
as hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue through December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for successive one-year
periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) upon all terms, conditions and obligations set forth herein unless either party shall provide written notice to the other not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or
any Renewal Term. For purposes hereof, the Initial Term, together with any Renewal Term, are hereinafter referred to as the “Term.” In the event for any reason the Executive does not commence employment on or before the Effective Date,
this Agreement shall be deemed void and of no force or effect. 
 4. Compensation. 

a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term and as compensation for his services rendered under this Agreement,
the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: 
 i. Base Salary. The Executive’s initial annual base salary
is Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000.00). Such amount may be increased from time to time in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (such amount, as may be so increased, is hereafter referred to as the “Base
Salary”), and shall be payable in 26 equal bi-weekly installments or, if different, the Company’s regular payroll schedule, prorated for any partial employment month. 

ii. Annual Cash Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for an annual cash bonus opportunity (“Bonus”) as may be
determined and authorized in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee based upon performance goals that the Compensation Committee establishes in good faith. Some or all of the Bonus may, in the sole discretion of the Compensation
Committee, be subject to performance goals designed to comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor rule or regulation.
The Executive’s target Bonus opportunity shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion on an annual basis, except that the Executive’s target Bonus opportunity for any given year during the Term will not be less
than 100% of his Base Salary. For the Company’s 2016 fiscal year (and provided Executive is employed with the Company through the last day of the 2016 fiscal year), the Executive’s Bonus will be no less than his target opportunity of 100%
of his Base Salary for the 2016 fiscal year, prorated for time-of-service due to Executive’s employment commencing subsequent to the start of the Company’s fiscal year. 

  
 2 

 iii. Long Term Incentive Plan. As may be determined and authorized from time to
time in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, and subject to the terms and conditions of any equity compensation plans and award agreements governing the grant of equity awards, the Executive shall be eligible to participate annually
during the Term in the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan or successor program (including, without limitation, the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan, collectively, the “LTIP”), with a
targeted equity award based upon a percentage of the Executive’s Base Salary, but set initially at 125%. Any equity grants made pursuant to the LTIP shall be dependent upon the achievement of performance goals, and the vesting and other terms
and conditions of such equity grants shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The terms of the Executive’s initial LTIP awards are more fully provided on Exhibit A attached hereto, and include both a
one-time grant to be made at the start of the Executive’s employment that is intended to compensate Executive for equity forfeited on account of accepting this position and a grant to be made in June 2017 with a targeted equity award set at
250% of Base Salary, representing a combined award at 125% of Base Salary in respect of the Company’s 2017 fiscal year and 125% of Base Salary in respect of the Company’s 2016 fiscal year, to compensate for the fact that no annual equity
grant will be made to the Executive during fiscal 2016. 
 b. Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive is subject to the Bob Evans Farms, Inc. Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy, as amended from time to time (the “Recoupment Policy”). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and
the terms of the Recoupment Policy, the terms of the Recoupment Policy shall control. 
 5. Benefits. In addition to
the compensation to be paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following benefits, subject to the Company continuing to sponsor and maintain such benefits for its senior executive
officers and subject to any modification or amendment to the plans or policies governing such benefits: 
 a. Participation in
Employee Plans. In addition to the plans described in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any health, disability, or group life insurance plan; any pension, retirement, or profit sharing plan; and any other
perquisites and fringe benefits, in which the Executive is eligible to participate and which may be generally made available from time to time to the Company’s senior executive officers, in accordance with the terms of such plans or
arrangements. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the premium required to continue family health insurance coverage under COBRA under the health plan in which the Executive currently participates from the Effective Date until the date on
which he becomes eligible to participate in the Company’s health benefit plans, up to a maximum of $1,600 per month. This amount shall be paid on an after-tax basis. 

b. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Fourth
Amended and Restated Executive Deferral Program (the “BEEDP”) in accordance with the terms contained therein, as such plans may be amended from time to time. 

c. Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of vacation with full salary and benefits each fiscal year. Under
current policy (which may be changed at the discretion of the Company), no cash or other payment will be due, however, for unused vacation and vacation may not be carried over from any fiscal year to the next.

 6. Reimbursement of Expenses. 

a. Business Expense Reimbursements. Subject to such rules and procedures as from time to time are specified by the Company and
in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy (which may be changed at the discretion of the Company), the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable business expenses necessarily incurred in the performance of his
duties under this Agreement. To the extent that any expenses, reimbursement, fringe benefit or other, similar plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the Term (including any reimbursements under this Section 6.a) or
thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then such amount shall be reimbursed in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including (i) the amount
eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose
a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements, any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or
arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit. 
 b. Attorneys’ Fees. The Company agrees to pay up to $10,000 for legal fees incurred by the Executive
in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement. 
 7. Confidentiality/Trade Secrets. The Executive
acknowledges that his position with the Company is one of the highest trust and confidence both by reason of his position and by reason of his access to and contact with the trade secrets and confidential and proprietary business information of the
Company. Both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Executive covenants and agrees as follows: 
 a. He shall use his best
efforts and exercise reasonable diligence to protect and safeguard the trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information of the Company, including but not limited to financial information, the identity of its customers and suppliers, its
arrangements with customers and suppliers, and its technical and financial data, records, compilations of information, processes, recipes and specifications relating to its customers, suppliers, products and services; 

b. He shall not disclose any of such trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, except as may be required in the course of
his employment with the Company or by law; and 
 c. He shall not use, directly or indirectly, for his own benefit or for the benefit of
another, any of such trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information. 

  
 4 

 All files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, memoranda, notes, or other documents
relating to the business of the Company, in whatever form, format or medium, whether prepared by the Executive or otherwise coming into his possession, shall be the exclusive property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company and not
retained by the Executive upon termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever or at any other time upon request of the Board, or, at the option of the Company, he may destroy all such material and certify such destruction in writing to the
Company within ten (10) days following the termination of his employment or such request by the Company. 
 8.
Discoveries. The Executive covenants and agrees that he will fully inform the Company of and disclose to the Company all inventions, designs, improvements, discoveries, and processes (“Discoveries”) that he has now or may
hereafter have during his employment with the Company and that pertain or relate to the business of the Company or to any experimental work, products, services, or processes of the Company in progress or planned for the future, whether conceived by
the Executive alone or with others, and whether or not conceived during regular working hours or in conjunction with the use of any Company assets. All such Discoveries shall be the exclusive property of the Company whether or not patent or
trademark applications are filed thereon. The Executive shall provide reasonable assistance to the Company, at any time during or after his employment, in obtaining patents and other intellectual property protection on all such Discoveries deemed
patentable or otherwise protectable by the Company and shall execute all documents and do all things reasonably requested by the Company to obtain letters patent, vest the Company with full and exclusive title thereto, and protect the same against
infringement by others, all at the expense of the Company. 
 9. Non-Competition. The Executive covenants and agrees that during the period of
his employment, and for a period of two (2) years following the effective date of the termination of his employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), he shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, employer, consultant,
agent, principal, partner, shareholder, officer, director, member, manager or through any other kind of ownership (other than ownership of securities of publicly held corporations of which the Executive owns less than three percent (3%) of any
class of outstanding securities), membership, affiliation, association, or in any other representative or individual capacity, engage in or render, or agree to engage in or render, any services to any Competing Business. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business in North America that (a) is engaged in the Family Dining Segment (as hereinafter defined) of the restaurant industry or any other sector of the restaurant industry in which the
Company is, or has taken substantial steps toward being, actively engaged at the time of Executive’s termination of employment; (b) produces and distributes food products to the extent the Company is actively engaged in, or has taken
substantial steps towards being actively engaged in, producing and distributing the same or similar food products at the time of Executive’s termination of employment; (c) offers products that compete with the products offered by the
Company, or with products as to which the Company has taken substantial steps toward launching, during the Executive’s employment with the Company; or (d) is engaged in a 

  
 5 

 
line of business that competes with any line of business in which the Company is operating, or as to which the Company has taken substantial steps toward beginning to operate, at the time of
Executive’s termination of employment. For purposes of this Section 9, “Family Dining Segment” shall mean the segment of the restaurant industry in which Bob Evans Restaurants is categorized, and shall include, without limitation
and by way of example, the following restaurant concepts together with such other concepts as are commonly understood within the restaurant industry to be included within the “family dining” segment: Baker’s Square, Frisch’s Big
Boy, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Denny’s, First Watch, Friendly’s, HomeTown Buffet, Golden Corral, Huddle House, IHOP, Marie Callender’s, Old Country Buffet, Perkins, Ponderosa, Ryan’s, Sizzler, Skyline Chili, Village Inn
and Western Sizzlin. The Family Dining Segment shall expressly exclude restaurants in other segments of the restaurant industry including the “casual dining” segment, which would include, without limitation, restaurant concepts such as
Applebee’s, Chili’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday’s and O’Charley’s together with such other concepts as are commonly understood within the restaurant industry to be included within the “casual
dining” segment. 
 10. Non-Solicitation. The Executive agrees that during the period of his employment, and for a period
of two (2) years following the effective date of the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, he will not, either directly or indirectly, for himself or for any third party, employ or hire any other person who is then
employed by the Company, or solicit, induce, recruit, or cause any other person who is employed by the Company to terminate his/her employment for the purpose of joining, associating, or becoming employed with any other business or activity or to
violate any confidentiality, non-competition or employment agreement that such person may have with the Company or any policy of the Company. 

11. Cooperation. 

a. The Executive agrees that both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, he will make himself available at reasonable times,
intervals and places for interviews, consultations, internal investigations and/or testimony during which he will provide to the Company, or its designated attorneys or agents, any and all information known to him regarding or relating to the
Company or his activities on behalf of the Company pertaining to the subject matter on which his cooperation is sought. 
 The Executive
further agrees that if he is ever subpoenaed or otherwise required by law to provide any statement or other assistance to a party to a dispute or litigation with the Company, other than the Company, then he will provide written notice of the
circumstances requiring such statement or other assistance, including where applicable a copy of the subpoena or other legal writ, in such a manner and at such a time that allows the Company to timely respond. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Executive from cooperating with co-defendants in litigation or with inquiry in a government investigation without a need to obtain prior consent or approval from the Company; however, the Executive shall provide prompt notice of any voluntary giving
of oral or written statements to such parties, and provide to the Company a copy of any written statement so given or a summary of any oral statement provided. 

b. Both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, the Executive covenants and agrees that he will not disparage the Company.

 12. Remedies for Breach of Covenants of the Executive. 

a. The Company and the Executive specifically acknowledge and agree that the foregoing covenants of the Executive in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and
11 are reasonable in content and scope and are given by the Executive for adequate consideration and that the violation of any provision of such sections will cause irreparable harm to the Company. The Company and the Executive further acknowledge
and agree that if any court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate authority disagrees with the parties’ foregoing agreement as to reasonableness, then such court or other authority shall reform or otherwise amend the foregoing
covenants to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with Section 18(b). 
 b. The covenants set forth in Sections 7, 8, and 11
of this Agreement shall continue to be binding upon the Executive notwithstanding the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, and the covenants set forth in Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement shall continue to be
binding upon the Executive following the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever for the period provided therein. Such covenants shall be deemed and construed as separate agreements independent of any other
provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement between the Company and the Executive. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, unless predicated on this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to
the enforcement by the Company of any or all such covenants. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law for the breach of any such covenant is inadequate and injunctive relief and specific performance shall be available without the necessity of
posting bond or other security to prevent the breach, or any threatened breach, thereof. 
 c. For purposes of the provisions of Sections,
7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, any reference to the Company shall include the Company and any entity or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with the Company. 

13. Termination of Employment. Any reference to the Executive’s “Separation from Service” or “Separate from
Service” shall have the same meaning as provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h). The Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated as follows: 

a. Death of the Executive. The Executive’s employment hereunder will terminate upon his death, and the Executive’s
beneficiary will be entitled to the following payments and benefits: 
 i. Any Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid and any business
expenses that are unreimbursed, all as of the date of termination of employment; and 
 ii. Any rights and benefits (if any) provided under
plans and programs of the Company in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to his death, including without limitation, the LTIP (including any award agreements applicable to awards thereunder) and the BEEDP (collectively, the
“Plans and Programs”), determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such Plans and Programs. 

  
 7 

 In the absence of a beneficiary designation by the Executive, or if the Executive’s
designated beneficiary does not survive him, payments and benefits described in this subsection will be paid to the Executive’s estate. All payments due under Section 13(a)(i) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of
the Executive’s death. 
 b. Disability. The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company in
the event of his Disability upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” or “Disabled” means, by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, (i) the inability of the Executive to engage in any substantial gainful activity or
(ii) the Executive receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering the Company’s employees. Unless otherwise required by law, the existence of a
Disability shall be reasonably determined by the Company only upon receipt of a written medical opinion from a qualified physician selected by or reasonably acceptable to both the Company and Executive (“Designated Physician”). At the
reasonable request of the Company, and as permitted by law, Executive will submit to a physical examination by the Designated Physician. During any period that the Executive fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of a Disability
(“Disability Period”), the Executive will continue to receive his Base Salary at the rate then in effect for such period commencing on the date the Executive is determined to be Disabled until his employment is terminated pursuant to this
subsection; provided, however, that payments of Base Salary so made to the Executive will be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, that were payable to the Executive under any “bona fide disability benefit plan” as such term is
defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(a)(5), with any such offset being made in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(ii). For purposes of clarification, Executive need not be Disabled for a period of twelve
(12) months before the Company does in fact consider Executive to be Disabled pursuant to the definition provided herein, but subject in all instances to applicable law, including Code Section 409A. To the extent that a “disability
benefit plan” elects not to pay Executive any sums (or the sums necessary to ensure Executive receives 100% of Base Salary), but Executive otherwise meets the definition of “Disabled” contained in this subsection, then the Company
shall ensure that Executive continues to receive 100% of Base Salary until such time as Executive is no longer determined to be Disabled or Executive’s employment is terminated. In the event that the Company elects to terminate the
Executive’s employment pursuant to this subsection, the Executive will be entitled to the following payments and benefits: 
 i. Any
Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid and any business expenses that are unreimbursed, all as of the date of termination of employment; 

ii. Any rights and benefits (if any) provided under Plans and Programs of the Company in which the Executive was participating immediately
prior to the time he became Disabled, determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such Plans and Programs; and 

iii. An amount equal to the pro-rated Bonus for the then-current fiscal year based on the actual achievement of the applicable performance
goals for such fiscal year (without pro-ration of such performance goals) and as approved by the Compensation Committee, which Bonus shall be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days the Executive was employed during the fiscal year and paid
at the later of (A) the same time payments for that fiscal year are made to other participants, or (B) within sixty (60) days following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. 

  
 8 

 Any payments of Base Salary during the Disability Period shall be made in accordance with the
payroll procedures described in Section 4(a)(i) of this Agreement. Any payments due under Section 13(b)(i) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. 

c. Termination of Employment for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for
“Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, the following shall constitute “Cause.” 
 i. The Executive is convicted of, or
pleads no contest/nolo contendere to, any felony, crime involving moral turpitude or any other serious criminal offense; 
 ii. The
Executive breaches in any material respect any provision of this Agreement (other than as related to Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, which is covered by Section 13(c)(iii) below and other than as related to any violation of the Company’s
Code of Conduct or other Company policy which is covered by Section 13(c)(vi) below), or habitually neglects to perform his duties under this Agreement (other than for reasons related to Disability) and such breach or habitual neglect is not
cured in the Board’s good faith belief within ten (10) business days after Executive’s receipt of written notice on behalf of the Board; 

iii. The Executive breaches any provision of Section 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11, and such breach is not cured, to the extent curable, in the
Board’s good faith belief within five (5) business days after Executive’s receipt of written notice on behalf of the Board; 

iv. After conducting a thorough investigation in compliance with Company policy, the Company determines that the Executive has violated in any
material respect any applicable local, state or federal law relating to discrimination or harassment; provided that the Executive shall be afforded an opportunity to respond to any allegations that are the subject of such investigation prior to the
Company’s determination; 
 v. The Executive engages in any inappropriate relationship (romantic, sexual, or otherwise) with an
employee, customer, or supplier of the Company, or misuses or abuses Company property and/or resources or engages in other conduct, even if not in conjunction with his duties hereunder, that in the Board’s good faith belief could reasonably be
expected to bring material disrepute to the Company or adversely affect the Executive’s ability to perform his duties for the Company; 

  
 9 

 vi. The Company reasonably determines that the Executive has violated the Company’s Code of
Conduct or any other Company policy adopted by the Board and applicable to senior executives of the Company; or 
 vii. The Executive acts,
without Board direction or approval, in an intentionally reckless manner (but not mere unsatisfactory performance) that is materially injurious to the financial condition of the Company. 

In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Executive will be entitled to no further payments or
benefits hereunder other than the following: 
 A. Any Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid and any business expenses that are
unreimbursed, all, as of the date of termination of employment; and 
 B. Any rights and benefits (if any) provided under Plans and Programs
of the Company, determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such Plans and Programs. 
 All payments due under
Section 13(c)(A) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. 
 d.
Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason upon fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the Executive. If the Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by
the Company for any reason other than the reasons set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 13, the Executive will be entitled to the following payments and benefits: 

i. Any Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid and business expenses that are unreimbursed as of the date of termination of employment which
payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after the date of the Executive’s termination of employment; 
 ii. Any rights and
benefits (if any) provided under Plans and Programs of the Company in which the Executive was participating at the time of the termination of his employment, determined in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of such Plans and
Programs; 
 iii. Any prior year earned, but unpaid Bonus, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms and provisions of the applicable
plan or program at the later of (A) the same time that payments for that fiscal year would be made to other participants, or (B) within sixty (60) days following the Executive’s Separation from Service; 

iv. Continuation of the Executive’s Base Salary, as in effect on the date of his Separation from Service, for a period of twenty-four
(24) months commencing within sixty (60) days following the date of his Separation from Service; provided, that these payments will be made in equal monthly payments over such twenty-four (24) month period, each installment payment
provided for in this Section 13(d)(iv) is a separate “payment” within the meaning of 

  
 10 

 
Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i) and that the payments are intended to satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A,
including those provided under Treasury Regulation sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (regarding short-term deferrals), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (regarding the two-times, two (2) year exception) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) (regarding reimbursements and other
separation pay); 
 v. An amount equal to the pro-rated Bonus for the then-current fiscal year based on the actual achievement of the
applicable performance goals for such fiscal year (without pro-ration of such performance goals) and as approved by the Compensation Committee, which shall be pro-rated based on the number of calendar days the Executive was employed during the
fiscal year and paid at the later of (A) the same time payments for that fiscal year are made to other participants or (B) within sixty (60) days following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service; 

vi. A lump sum amount, payable by the Company concurrent with the payment provided in Section 13(d)(i) hereunder, equal to the
Company’s estimated obligation (as determined by the Company in the reasonable exercise of its discretion) for the cost of premiums, and related administrative fees, for group health (medical, dental and/or vision) continuation coverage for the
Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents, for the same level of benefits as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s termination of employment and for a period equal to twenty-four (24) months. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company’s payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans, or result in the imposition of penalties under, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act of 2010 (“PPACA”) and related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, the parties agree to reform such sentence in such manner as is necessary to comply with PPACA; and 

vii. The payment by the Company for all Company-sponsored life insurance programs in which the Executive was participating or covered
immediately before termination for twenty-four (24) months following the date of his Separation from Service; or alternately and as determined in the reasonable exercise of the Company’s discretion, the equivalent monetary value of the
cumulative premiums for such coverage (payable by the Company concurrent with the payment provided in Section 13(d)(i) hereunder), but in no event shall the Company be required to expend more than $25,000 to provide the life insurance benefit
or alternative contemplated pursuant to this subsection. 
 e. Voluntary Termination by the Executive. The Executive may
resign and terminate his employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Company. In the event that the Executive so terminates his employment pursuant to this
Section 13(e), the Executive will be entitled to the following payments and benefits: 
 i. Any Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid
and any business expenses that are unreimbursed, all, as of the date of termination of employment; and 
 ii. Any rights and benefits (if
any) provided under Plans and Programs of the Company in which the Executive was participating at the time of the termination of his employment (whether by reason of retirement or otherwise), determined in accordance with the applicable terms and
provisions of such Plans and Programs. 

  
 11 

 All payments due under Section 13(e)(i) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the
date of the Executive’s termination of employment. 
 f. Good Reason Termination. The Executive may resign and terminate
his employment with the Company for “Good Reason.” The Executive shall have “Good Reason” to effect a termination of his employment if without his consent the Company (i) materially reduces the Executive’s Base Salary
or Bonus or LTIP opportunity, except for a reduction that applies to executive officers generally (and does not apply disproportionately to the Executive), (ii) requires the Executive to relocate more than 50 miles from the greater Columbus,
Ohio area, (iii) a material adverse change in Executive’s title, position, duties, or responsibilities; (iv) a material reduction in the aggregate health and welfare benefits provided to Executive under the Company’s welfare
benefit plans, except for a reduction that applies to executive officers generally (and does not apply disproportionately to the Executive); or (vi) a material breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the removal of Executive from the Board by the Company (other than as a result of conduct constituting Cause) or the failure by the Company to nominate Executive for re-election to the Board; all provided the Executive (A) has given written
notice to the Board as to the details of the basis for such Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Executive alleges the condition giving rise to such Good Reason initially occurs and the Company has failed to
provide a reasonable cure within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice and (B) terminates his employment within ninety (90) days of the time in which the condition giving rise to such Good Reason initially occurs. 

In the event that the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 13(f), the Executive will be entitled
to the payments and benefits described in Section 13(d). 
 g. Benefit Plans/Offset. In the event of any termination of
the Executive’s employment, whether by the Executive or the Company and for any reason, participation by the Executive in all compensation and benefit plans of the Company will cease upon the effective termination date and all unvested bonuses,
equity awards and other like items will immediately lapse, except as otherwise provided in applicable Company plans or hereunder and subject to the terms and limitation thereof. In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment, all
amounts owed by the Executive to the Company for any reasons whatsoever will become immediately due and payable. The Company will have the right, in its discretion, to collect any or all such amounts by offset against any amounts due to the
Executive from the Company whether or not under this Agreement; provided that such offset complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such offset that would have the effect (directly or indirectly) of
accelerating amounts due to the Executive under this Agreement that are subject to Code Section 409A must meet the following requirements: (i) such offset must relate to a debt that was incurred in the ordinary course of the service
relationship between the

Company and the Executive; (ii) the entire amount of reduction in any of the Executive’s taxable years may not exceed $5,000; and (iii) the offset must be made at the same time and
in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Executive, all in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(xiii). In addition, except as specifically provided for herein, the payments provided
for in Section 13 of this Agreement are in lieu of and supersede any severance or termination benefits to which the Executive might otherwise be entitled, and there will be no duplication of payments or benefits made under this Agreement and
any other agreement with, or plan, policy, or program maintained by, the Company. 
 h. Certain Delays in Payment if the Executive is
a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(i) and as determined under the Company’s
policy for determining specified employees) on the date of his Separation from Service and the Executive is entitled to a payment and/or a benefit under this Agreement that is required to be delayed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i),
then such payment or benefit, as the case may be, shall not be paid or provided for (or begin to be paid or provided for) until the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service (or, if
earlier, the date of the Executive’s death). The first payment that can be made to the Executive following such postponement period shall include the cumulative amount of any payments or benefits that could not be paid or provided for during
such postponement period due to the application of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). 
 i. Conditions to Payment and
Benefits. Except as required under applicable law, the obligation of the Company to make payments (other than Base Salary earned by the Executive prior to his separation from employment and payment for any unreimbursed business expenses) and
to provide other benefits to the Executive after his termination of employment under Section 13 is expressly conditioned on (i) the Executive’s timely execution, without revocation, of a release of claims in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company prior to the first date that payment is to begin and (ii) the Executive’s continued full performance of his obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 to the extent that such sections survive the
Executive’s termination of employment as provided thereunder. With respect to any payments or other benefits payable to the Executive after his termination of employment that are subject to Code Section 409A, to the extent that the period
during which the Executive may execute, without revocation, a release of claims as set forth in this Section 13(i) begins in one taxable year of the Executive and ends in a second taxable year of the Executive, such payments or benefits shall
not commence, be paid or provided until the second taxable year of the Executive, regardless of when the Executive executes the release. 

14. Termination and Change in Control Agreement. The Executive is a participant in the Company’s Change in Control and
Severance Plan dated November 2015 (the “Change in Control Plan”). If an event or a series of related events entitle the Executive to payments under both this Agreement and the Change in Control Plan, the Executive will be entitled to the
payments due under whichever of the Change in Control Plan or this Agreement provides for the greatest amount, and shall not be entitled to the payments otherwise provided under whichever of the Change in Control Plan or this Agreement provides for
the least amount. Without limiting 

  
 13 

 
the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of Section 13(d) and 13(f) are expressly not intended to supersede this Section 14, and to the extent of any conflict, the terms of this
Section 14 shall control. Any coordination of benefits under this Section 14 shall be made strictly in accordance with Code Section 409A, including the preservation of the time and form of payment provisions regarding the payment of
any amounts which provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A under each respective arrangement. 

15. Arbitration of Disputes. Except for disputes and claims arising out of or relating to Sections 7 through 12, disputes or
controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the basis on which the Executive is terminated, will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The award of the arbitrator
will be final, conclusive and non-appealable and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator must be an arbitrator qualified to serve in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association and one who is approved by the Company and the Executive. If the Executive and the Company fail to agree on an arbitrator, each must designate a person qualified to serve as an arbitrator in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association and these persons will select the arbitrator from among those persons qualified to serve in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration relating to this Agreement
will be held in Columbus, Ohio. With the exception of the Company agreeing to pay (or reimburse the Executive) for the arbitration filing fees and the fees paid to the Arbitrator, the Company and the Executive will each bear its/his own fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration proceedings, including attorney’s fees, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator[s]. To the extent that the reimbursement of fees during the term of Executive’s employment under this
Agreement (including any reimbursements under this Section 15) or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then such amount shall be reimbursed in accordance with Treasury
Regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv), including (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year
(except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements,
any reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to any reimbursement or
in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 16. Representation and Warranty. The
Executive represents and warrants to the Company that no existing covenant, restriction, or other obligation restricts or limits in any way the Executive’s ability to enter into this Agreement and to perform his duties hereunder. 

17. Notices. Any notices to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be effected and shall be deemed to have been
given when delivered personally in writing or by mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested. Mailed notices shall be addressed as follows:

 18. General Provisions. 

a. Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 

b. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then such provision
shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a
provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid or enforceable. 

c. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Recoupment Policy, the Change in Control Plan and any governing award agreements, grant
notices, and plan documents referenced herein together set forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No terms, conditions
or warranties, other than those contained herein, and no amendments or modifications hereto shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 

d. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their
respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Executive, but may be assigned by the Company to any person or entity that succeeds to the ownership or operation of the business in which the
Executive is primarily employed by the Company. 
 e. Waiver. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any term or
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same provision by any party or of the breach of any other term or provision of this Agreement. 

f. Headings. Headings of the sections herein are used solely for convenience and shall not be used for interpretation or
construing any word, clause, paragraph, or provision of this Agreement. 

  
 15 

 g. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Confirmation of execution by electronic transmission of a signature (whether by facsimile or email) shall be binding upon the party so confirming.
A faxed or emailed copy of a signed Agreement will be deemed to be the same as an original. 
 h. Taxes. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made hereunder by the Company to the Executive shall be subject to withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Company may reasonably determine that it should withhold
pursuant to any applicable law or regulations. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, however, the Company may, in its discretion, accept other provision for payment of taxes, provided that it is satisfied that all requirements of
the law affecting its responsibilities to withhold such taxes have been satisfied. 
 i. Section 409A. This Agreement
shall be interpreted and administered in compliance with Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. By accepting this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Company does not make any representations with respect to the
application of Code Section 409A to any tax, economic or legal consequences of any payments payable to Executive hereunder. Further, by the acceptance of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that (i) Executive has obtained independent
tax advice regarding the application of Code Section 409A to the payments due to Executive hereunder, (ii) Executive retains full responsibility for the potential application of Code Section 409A to the tax and legal consequences of
payments payable to Executive hereunder and (iii) the Company shall not indemnify or otherwise compensate Executive for any violation of Code Section 409A that may occur in connection with this Agreement. The parties agree to cooperate in
good faith to amend such documents and to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A. 
 j.
Coordination with Code Sections 280G and 4999. 
 i. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as
set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit, vesting or distribution to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise) (a “Payment”) would but for this Section 18(j) be subject to the excise tax imposed by §4999 of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be either
(i) provided to Executive in full, or (ii) provided to Executive as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account
applicable income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be
subject to the Excise Tax. Any determination required under this Section 18(j) shall be made in writing in good faith by the Company’s independent certified public accountants, appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under
Code §280G(b)(2), and/or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accounting Firm”) in accordance with the principles of §280G of the Code. In the event of a reduction of Payments hereunder, the Payments shall be reduced as
follows: (i)

  
 16 

 
first from cash payments which are included in full as parachute payments, (ii) second from equity awards which are included in full as parachute payments, (iii) third from cash
payments which are partially included as parachute payments, and (iv) fourth from equity awards that are partially included as parachute payments. In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Payments shall be made in a
manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. For
purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 18(j), the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the
application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this
Section 18(j). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. 
 ii. If, notwithstanding any
reduction described in this Section 18(j), the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) determines that Executive is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the Payments as described above, then Executive shall be
obligated to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that Executive challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the Payments equal to the
“Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that Executive’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments
(after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not
result in Executive’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, Executive shall pay the Excise Tax. 

iii. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 18(j), if (i) there is a reduction in the Payments as described in this
Section 18(j), (ii) the IRS later determines that Executive is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would result in the maximization of Executive’s net after-tax proceeds (calculated as if Executive’s Payments had not
previously been reduced), and (iii) Executive pays the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to Executive those Payments which were reduced pursuant to this subsection as soon as administratively possible after Executive pays the Excise Tax so
that Executive’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments are maximized. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges he is solely
responsible for the payment of any Excise Tax and that the Company will not reimburse or otherwise indemnify him for such amount. Any reimbursements or repayments provided under this subsection shall be made strictly in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code, including Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v).
